This page is intended to be an archive to document all my MOTU activities. I'll try to dedicate at least 2 hours a day for every task.

Task 2

In order to create my pbuilder environment I followed the steps described in Mackenzie Morgan post Is packaging new software hard?

sudo apt-get install pbuilder ubuntu-dev-tools devscripts
ls -s /usr/bin/pbuilder/dist ~/pbuilder-natty
~/pbuilder-natty create

Task 3

I had to tackle a few obstacles to complete this task. First one, patches not applied cleanly. Two out of three patches where in upstream code already, so they are not needed anymore. To remove the patches I used:

quilt delete 01_libsoup2.4.patch
quilt delete 02_glib_errors.patch

The remaining patch needed to be refershed, because part of it was in upstream code, so I used:

quilt push -f
# After editing the repective files
quilt refresh 00_debian.patch
quilt pop -a

And we are done with the patches. Now when we tried to build the package in pbuilder it failed to build due to missing Build-Depends after adding Intltools, libdbus-1-dev, libdbus-glib-1-dev the package was built successfully.
