 mooff | even to package Chatty would mean committing to maintaining 5-6 incidental libraries | 13:07:52 |
 tar | usually build-dependencies are luckily maintained already by other friends? | 13:08:25 |
| tar | so you only really maintain the software package, and not all of its dependencies? | 13:08:49 |
| mooff | Fractal has almost 400 dependencies, if I understand right | 13:09:02 |
| * mooff checks out the ITP again | 13:09:21 |
| tar | no idea, i'm not a GNOME fan | 13:09:21 |
| mooff | gomuks has on the order of 10 unpackaged deps i think | 13:11:14 |
| mooff | maybe 5-6 remaining | 13:11:19 |
| mooff | just confirmed email for Salsa - 500 on https://salsa.debian.org/users/sign_up/update_registration hehe | 13:13:57 |
| mooff | trying to set a Software Dev role. otherwise okay though | 13:14:36 |
| tar | https://salsa.debian.org/projects/new just enter fractal there, then create the project in your personal repository and post me the link | 13:15:19 |
| tar | * https://salsa.debian.org/projects/new just enter fractal there, then create the project in your personal repository and post me the link, empty (create it empty!) | 13:15:44 |
| mooff | tada! https://salsa.debian.org/mooff/fractal | 13:38:03 |
| tar | great so once you have a working .dsc | 13:38:54 |
| tar | you can say: ```
gbp clone git@salsa.debian.org:mooff/fractal.git
cd fractal
gbp import-dsc ../your.dsc
git push origin master upstream;git push --tags;git push -u origin --all | 13:39:36 |
| tar | * you can say:
gbp clone git@salsa.debian.org:mooff/fractal.git
cd fractal
gbp import-dsc ../your.dsc
git push origin master upstream;git push --tags;git push -u origin --all
| 13:39:43 |
| mooff | what should i do to make the dsc? | 13:40:01 |
| tar | get the upstream source tarball | 13:40:17 |
| tar | symlink give it a name fracta_0.4.4.orig.tar.gz | 13:40:28 |
| tar | unpack it, cd into unpacked tree, run dh_make (probably s), then run debuild | 13:40:41 |
| tar | 2nd last step i forgot: make debian/* right | 13:40:55 |
| mooff | that 2nd last step - make it by hand? | 13:41:21 |
| tar | how else? | 13:41:29 |
| mooff | including the watch file? | 13:41:34 |
| mooff | just checking! | 13:41:40 |
| tar | you can leave away the watch file away, but debian/copyright is usually the thing taking most time | 13:42:21 |
| tar | looking at other packages can be very helpful, you can get deb source packages with: apt-get source nameofpackage | 13:43:06 |
| mooff | okay - i have to run some errands. i'll check back in later | 13:48:12 |
