 204 Mar 13 12:28:19 <lool>	rustyl_: I'm not sure I made this clear enough, but one thing which we want to keep is Intel publishing its releases all the way down to the ppa
 205 Mar 13 12:28:42 <rustyl_>	lool, i understand
 206 Mar 13 12:28:42 <lool>	But the transition frmo the current mode to the mode where we use tarballs needs a little extra efforts
 207 Mar 13 12:28:54 <bspencer>	rustyl_: lool:   how does that work again, with ubuntu adding patches on their own?
 208 Mar 13 12:28:54 <lool>	It's similar in spirit to the Hildon 2.0 modules transition
 209 Mar 13 12:28:57 <rustyl_>	and there is confusion on our end
 210 Mar 13 12:29:08 *	bspencer confesses a bit of confusion :)
 211 Mar 13 12:29:35 <lool>	bspencer: The idea is that we put patches in debian/patches; when a new upstream release comes out and you push it to the ppa, you drop the debian/patches which have been merged upstream and port the other ones
 212 Mar 13 12:29:55 <lool>	rustyl_: Where is the confusion?
 213 Mar 13 12:29:57 <bspencer>	lool:  ok.  I understand.  I missed that patches change
 214 Mar 13 12:30:45 <lool>	This will make the Ubuntu/ppa specific changes into separate patches, and easy to rebase on the next release
 215 Mar 13 12:31:13 <rustyl_>	lool, If you gave everyone a written test that made them explain exactly what commands/steps you need to do go from "i have a new tarball release" to "i am now calling dput to push to the ppa", i'm afraid most intel people would fail the test
 216 Mar 13 12:31:23 <ToddBrandtClone>	Do each of the project owners need to upload their source to the hardy ppa for each release still or has this been streamlined
 217 Mar 13 12:31:33 <lool>	rustyl_: Ok, the cool thing is that it's going to be very easy
 218 Mar 13 12:31:39 *	ToddBrandtClone Todd trumps bspencer's confusion
 219 Mar 13 12:31:43 <lool>	Once we get it done *once*
 220 Mar 13 12:31:50 <lool>	Subsequent updates are going to be easy
 221 Mar 13 12:31:55 <GrueMaster>	i fail.
 222 Mar 13 12:32:09 <lool>	ToddBrandtClone: We would like project owners to please continue doing so
 223 Mar 13 12:32:31 <ToddBrandtClone>	lool: ok, our source repo layout has changed so I guess I have some more questions for rusty
 224 Mar 13 12:32:58 <lool>	It's so damn easy that it's basically: dget -x the current ppa source, uupdate with the new tarball, update the packaging and patches, upload
 225 Mar 13 12:32:58 <rustyl_>	ToddBrandt, the packaging for hardy is not in the source repository
 226 Mar 13 12:32:58 <ToddBrandtClone>	rusty_: do we have a HARDY branch now in addition to GASTON?
 227 Mar 13 12:33:21 <rustyl_>	ToddBrandt, that hardy branch is now defunct 
 228 Mar 13 12:33:32 <ToddBrandtClone>	rustyl_: yea but we still haev to use the debian tools to create the source package, which require the debian dir, which is no longer in master
 229 Mar 13 12:33:50 <lool>	ToddBrandtClone: Exactly, that dir you retrieve from the ppa each time you plan an upload
 230 Mar 13 12:33:58 <lool>	ToddBrandtClone: It might have been updated by other folks, for example me
 231 Mar 13 12:33:59 <ToddBrandtClone>	ahhh
 232 Mar 13 12:34:09 <ToddBrandtClone>	the missing piece, I'm learning, gotcha
 233 Mar 13 12:34:12 <rustyl_>	yeap, that's the idea
 234 Mar 13 12:34:25 <lool>	If you prefer, instead of "uupdate" you simply "copy over the debian/"; it should end up being the same
 235 Mar 13 12:34:33 <ToddBrandtClone>	k, thx
 236 Mar 13 12:34:44 <lool>	This is the *target* process
 237 Mar 13 12:34:56 <lool>	Before this, we need to add support for debian/patches/ in each package
 238 Mar 13 12:35:09 <lool>	mjg59 did it in hildon-theme-layout-4
 239 Mar 13 12:35:17 <ToddBrandtClone>	ok, so until then we create the hardy packages like before
 240 Mar 13 12:35:23 <lool>	  * Add simple-patchsys from CDBS
 241 Mar 13 12:35:23 <lool>	  * Build-depend on CDBS
 242 Mar 13 12:35:34 <lool>	That's his changelog entry
 243 Mar 13 12:35:35 <lool>	What we did in debian/rules:
 244 Mar 13 12:35:38 <lool>	- he added:
 245 Mar 13 12:35:38 <lool>	include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/simple-patchsys.mk
 246 Mar 13 12:35:39 <rustyl_>	we several things on moblin that need to do a new release, so we have some projects to try to run through the new process
 247 Mar 13 12:35:59 <lool>	- he changed the dependencies of the targets to apply/unapply the patches:
 248 Mar 13 12:36:02 <lool>	build: apply-patches build-stamp
 249 Mar 13 12:36:19 <lool>	This means applying the patches is a prereq for the build
 250 Mar 13 12:36:22 *	tonyespy (n=tonyespy@bismuth.canonical.com) has joined #ubuntu-mobile
 251 Mar 13 12:36:47 <lool>	You might have to rename clean: to clean:: as simple-patchsys.mk defines it as well
 252 Mar 13 12:36:53 <lool>	This is all it takes to add debian/patches support
 253 Mar 13 12:36:55 *	agoliveira is happy that the word "quilt" didn't make into this conversation so far :)
 254 Mar 13 12:37:34 <lool>	The other thing to do is to compare the Ubuntu ppa tree to the moblin release it claims to base on to see which changes were done since this moblin release
 255 Mar 13 12:37:41 <bfiller>	lool: do moblin folks take the patches in debian/patches and incorporate them into the source and remove the patches?
 256 Mar 13 12:37:44 <lool>	These changes should be converted to debian/patches/*.patch files
 257 Mar 13 12:38:01 <lool>	bfiller: The person authoring the patch should take care to send it to moblin folks
 258 Mar 13 12:38:16 <rustyl_>	bfiller, i think incorporating existing packages before making a release is a good goal
 259 Mar 13 12:38:23 <lool>	Moblin folks are naturally welcome to look from time to time if there would be interesting patches which failed the upstreaming process
 260 Mar 13 12:38:53 <lool>	Does anybody has any question on how it will work and what remains to be done?
 261 Mar 13 12:39:17 <rustyl_>	it makes a nice way to send a patch.... send an email to the maintainer with moblin devel list cc'ed, and at the same time upload the patch to the ppa
 262 Mar 13 12:39:38 <bfiller>	lool: so if I had a patch, I would put the patch in debian/patches, upload to the ppa and also send the patch to moblin?
 263 Mar 13 12:39:42 <lool>	Perhaps we should file a bug instead of mailing the maintainer?
 264 Mar 13 12:39:56 <lool>	rustyl_: Would that work for you?
 265 Mar 13 12:39:59 <ToddBrandtClone>	I vote for mailing the maintainer, that info would be very useful
 266 Mar 13 12:40:04 <lool>	bfiller: Perhaps opening a bug is more logical than using email
 267 Mar 13 12:40:13 <lool>	ToddBrandtClone: Doesn't the maintainer get an email for new bugs?
 268 Mar 13 12:40:14 <rustyl_>	yes, filling a bug is good
 269 Mar 13 12:40:27 <rustyl_>	the maintainer will get the mail via launchpad
 270 Mar 13 12:40:29 <davidm>	 Can do both but filing a bug is important,  and has been requested by Don Johnson.
 271 Mar 13 12:40:42 <ToddBrandtClone>	ok
 272 Mar 13 12:40:44 <davidm>	Need tracking
 273 Mar 13 12:40:53 <rustyl_>	but we need to cc the devel list for potential discussion on the patch
 274 Mar 13 12:41:22 <lool>	rustyl_: I think that's a logical escalation when a bug fix isn't consensual indeed
 275 Mar 13 12:41:33 <lool>	(or any change, not necessarily a bug fix)
 276 Mar 13 12:42:26 *	andrunko (n=andrunko@200.184.118.132) has joined #ubuntu-mobile
 277 Mar 13 12:42:31 <lool>	Should I document what we just discussed on a wiki page? (how tarball releases work down to the ppa and how patches are added+sent back)?
 278 Mar 13 12:42:46 <davidm>	lool, yes please
 279 Mar 13 12:42:51 <ToddBrandtClone>	yes
 280 Mar 13 12:42:54 <rustyl_>	yes
 281 Mar 13 12:42:57 <cwong1>	+1
 282 Mar 13 12:43:10 <lool>	[action] lool to document tarball release + ppa upload process and patch addition + submission process
 283 Mar 13 12:43:11 <MootBot>	ACTION received:  lool to document tarball release + ppa upload process and patch addition + submission process 
 284 Mar 13 12:43:15 <davidm>	Just out of the other meeting, sorry I'm late.
 285 Mar 13 12:43:29 <lool>	Ok; last thing to discuss on the topic is who is going to do the work to conver the ppa packages to the layout
 286 Mar 13 12:43:45 <lool>	This requires adding support for debian/patches and extracting the current ppa-only changes as patch files
 287 Mar 13 12:43:58 <lool>	I propose we split that like the Hildon 2.0 modules
 288 Mar 13 12:44:08 <lool>	Does that work for everybody?
 289 Mar 13 12:44:20 <lool>	rustyl_: Would you be willing to participate?
 290 Mar 13 12:44:37 <lool>	Who from Intel would be willing to take a share?
 291 Mar 13 12:44:54 <lool>	Everybody I guess! :)
 292 Mar 13 12:45:15 <rustyl_>	lool, if somebody does the first package, then I would be happy to do (or delegate) several of the other packages
 293 Mar 13 12:45:16 <bspencer>	mawhalen -- since she's not here.
 294 Mar 13 12:45:27 <rustyl_>	i just need the first package to cookbook from
 295 Mar 13 12:45:27 <lool>	rustyl_: deal
 296 Mar 13 12:45:56 <rustyl_>	and by several, i mean i can find people to do all the rest of the moblin projects
 297 Mar 13 12:46:04 <lool>	rustyl_: I'll mail you with the steps I follow for a sample package, you will split the work amongst Intel people for some modules you'll list me and the others we shall do?
 298 Mar 13 12:46:12 <lool>	rustyl_: Cool
 299 Mar 13 12:46:57 <lool>	[action] lool to send rustyl_ steps to update ppa packages for the new tarball based release process
 300 Mar 13 12:46:58 <MootBot>	ACTION received:  lool to send rustyl_ steps to update ppa packages for the new tarball based release process 
 301 Mar 13 12:47:15 <lool>	[action] rustyl_ to assign ppa packages updates for the new tarball based release process
 302 Mar 13 12:47:16 <MootBot>	ACTION received:  rustyl_ to assign ppa packages updates for the new tarball based release process 
 303 Mar 13 12:47:33 <lool>	Does anybody have any question on this?
 304 Mar 13 12:47:38 <rustyl_>	yea
 305 Mar 13 12:47:50 <rustyl_>	what 'project' to i write launchpad bugs against?
 306 Mar 13 12:47:56 <rustyl_>	'launchpad' doesn't work
 307 Mar 13 12:48:09 <lool>	rustyl_: To report the malone bug?
 308 Mar 13 12:48:39 <rustyl_>	to report the 'i want to assign a tag to a couple hundred bugs at once' feature request
 309 Mar 13 12:48:40 <lool>	rustyl_: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/+filebug select "Project" type "malone" and search
 310 Mar 13 12:48:54 <lool>	s/search/choose
 311 Mar 13 12:49:02 <rustyl_>	what is malone?
 312 Mar 13 12:49:21 <lool>	As I was saying earlier, it's the Launchpad bug tracking subproject
 313 Mar 13 12:49:35 <rustyl_>	got it
 314 Mar 13 12:49:53 <lool>	rustyl_: https://launchpad.net/projects/?text=launchpad 
 315 Mar 13 12:50:01 <lool>	rustyl_: You'll see "Launchpad Bugs"
 316 Mar 13 12:50:06 *	tonyespy has quit ()
 317 Mar 13 12:50:08 <rustyl_>	https://bugs.launchpad.net/malone/+bug/201874
 318 Mar 13 12:50:09 <lool>	It's technical/unix name is "malone"
 319 Mar 13 12:50:09 <ubotu>	Launchpad bug 201874 in malone "Need ability to apply tag to a collection of bugs" [Undecided,New] 
 320 Mar 13 12:50:15 <lool>	rustyl_: Tada
 321 Mar 13 12:50:25 <bfiller>	slightly obscure, I'd say :)
 322 Mar 13 12:50:33 <bfiller>	malone, that is
 323 Mar 13 12:50:43 <rustyl_>	it keeps thing mysterious
 324 Mar 13 12:51:03 <bfiller>	good way to keep people from filing bugs :)
 325 Mar 13 12:51:05 <GrueMaster>	Nah, it's perfectly intuitive.
 326 Mar 13 12:51:14 <lool>	Let's end the meeting in a mysterious way then!
 327 Mar 13 12:51:19 <agoliveira>	rustyl_: Santa Rosa? Diamondville? McAslin?
 328 Mar 13 12:51:21 <agoliveira>	:)
 329 Mar 13 12:51:35 <lool>	[endmeeting] malone! soyuz!
 330 Mar 13 12:51:40 <lool>	#endmeeting
