lcukw00t, whats your packaging problem17:51
w00tlcuk: hahaha17:53
w00tI haven't even started seriously looking into it yet17:53
w00tI was mostly joshing around as I usually do17:53
lcukheh17:54
lcukwhat are you building anyway17:54
*** slonopotamus_ has joined #maemo-devel17:56
*** slonopotamus has quit IRC17:56
*** slonopotamus_ has quit IRC17:57
w00tlcuk: I am writing (and plan to write a lot more) any weird application that seems remotely useful or interesting that I can think of17:58
w00tthe one I'm close to packaging is an expenses/budgeting tracker17:58
lcukiwll it work with household spreadsheets/systems?17:59
w00tnot really intended for that, but it could easily export to CSV17:59
w00tbasically, you create categories (travel, lunch, hookers, whatever) and set a daily budget (which then also gives you a weekly/monthly display), and record expenses you make in those categories18:00
lcuki take photos of all my expendables where possible18:01
w00tI'm usually in a bit too much of a hurry to take a photo of a bus ticket18:01
lcukon the bus sat down, surely not ;)18:02
w00twell18:02
w00tif it's the morning I'm half asleep18:02
lcukahhh so user error :p18:02
w00tif it's the afternoon I'm sick of everything andw ant to get home18:02
w00t:P18:02
lcukso it can be done at a later date18:02
lcukyou can just go into days and fill in what you remember?18:03
w00tmm18:03
w00tit records the current time, but I tend to record all mine at night yes18:03
lcukwith me, if im claiming expenses back i need proof of them18:03
lcukand photos work18:03
w00tyeah18:03
w00tit's not meant for that18:03
w00t..though it could be, I suppose18:03
lcuki know :p18:03
w00tbasically18:03
lcukim just talking about an app with you18:03
w00tI usually catch a bus18:03
w00tI sometimes get lazy and take a taxi18:03
w00tbut I want to watch my expenditure18:03
w00tthat's where this whole idea came from18:03
w00tso, I look at this, it tells me I've spent my monthly travel budget in a week, I go "dammit", and don't catch a taxi18:04
lcukyeah18:04
lcukunderstandable18:04
w00tI also use it for beer expenses, but that's so much harder to do18:05
lcukjust make an app whichdisplays "£0.00 available" and you will never be lazy again18:05
w00tafter the first few pints I'm screwed because I can't hit the right buttons18:05
Rudolfhey hey hey18:10
Rudolfsome one usin Open Suse Build Service Locally?18:10

Stskeepswe use it in Mer extensively18:15
RudolfStskeeps: like scratchbox18:15
*** bricks has left #maemo-devel18:16
* lcuk is throwing all his code in the air tonight and hoping it comes down int o nice digestable areas18:16
fralshehe lcuk, i did that last weekend18:21
fralsor well, a lot of it18:21
lcukyeah i have a lot too18:21
w00tI've been having amazing luck with code working how I want it to lately18:22
lcukand i made a small patch last night to make something happen18:22
lcukwhich allows me to change everything18:22
StskeepsRudolf: lbt's really the guy for this18:23

RudolfStskeeps: first i'll try openSuse foruns18:24
Stskeepsbut for building for maemo on OBS, hmm, not sure18:24

blfgomesI uploaded bti to extras-devel19:04
blfgomesCould anybody take a look and see if there's anything I could improve?19:05
VDVsxblfgomes, bti, is that the app name  ?19:08
blfgomesVDVsx: Yes, it's a twitter/identica command line client19:12
blfgomesI just packaged it.19:12
VDVsxblfgomes, without installing it, the first improvements is: write a GUI :p19:13
VDVsxgonna give a try19:13
*** t-tan has joined #maemo-devel19:13
blfgomesVDVsx: but being a command line client is the whole point of it :).19:16
VDVsxeheh19:16
blfgomesas I said, I just packaged it19:16
*** slonopotamus has joined #maemo-devel19:16
blfgomesit can be useful even in a tiny terminal19:16
blfgomesit was created by the great Greg Kroah-Hartman19:17

VDVsxto send a tweet19:44
blfgomesVDVsx: the simplest way is to edit the .bti file in the home folder19:49
blfgomesso that you dont have to pass the information every time you want to send a tweet19:50
*** Rudolf has quit IRC19:51
*** jpetersen has joined #maemo-devel19:52
blfgomesif you just type bti, it will ask you for the required information19:53

blfgomesVDVsx: Cool :) It shouldn't say "from web", though...20:07
VDVsxblfgomes, don't blame me :)20:08
blfgomeslol, I'll take a look later20:08
*** gonX has quit IRC20:08
blfgomesanyway, what about the packaging per se?20:09
blfgomesI noticed some people don't use maemo in the package name20:09
blfgomes some use fremantle20:10
blfgomesI also didn't know what to do exactly with the .bti file20:10
blfgomesit comes as bti.example in the original source20:10

VDVsxif is a new Sw just for maemo, keep it short :)20:15
* ifreq likes that almost every stuff i throw to scratchbox get built and ran :P20:16

Stskeepsmorn jebba20:37
Rudolfjebba: but OBS working?20:38
Rudolfjebba: can u access any web configuration area?20:38
jebbaheya20:38
jebbaRudolf: i haven't done any config of it. I just installed the latest opensuse and the various OBS packages. They all started and are running fine, except the signing daemon (because i haven't generated a key).  That said, I've only taken a cursory look at the docs so fa.20:39
Rudolfjebba: can u access web page in any place?20:40
jebbai haven't even tried. Oh, except i saw it opened a bunch of ports on localhost20:42
Rudolfyea20:44
Rudolfi'm trying some more huge instalation20:45
jebbai really just got step 2 done.  1) install OS  2) install OBS  3) configure OBS....20:45

*** Rudolf has quit IRC20:51
blfgomesVDVsx: it is a port for maemo and it's in C.20:52
blfgomesI asked because I thought the convention would be to use maemo in the package name, but looking around it seems like people aren't following it20:53
VDVsxblfgomes, so package version should be something like upstream_version-maemo120:53
VDVsxe.g 12.2.2maemo120:53
VDVsxIMO thats the correct way for upstream packages20:54
blfgomesyes, that's what I did: bti_025-0maemo120:54
VDVsxbut there's not rule about that afaik20:54
jebbaVDVsx: i actually was reading about using maemo tags just today.  Basically if you patch the deb source different from debian at all, throw maemo in the tag,.20:54
jebbai haven't been doing this.20:54
blfgomesthere is a package for debian, but I found it easier to package directly the upstream tar20:54
jebbaVDVsx: ya, i just saw one on wiki today.20:54
VDVsxjebba, where ?20:55
jebbaVDVsx: lemme see if i can track it down.20:55
jebbahopefully its still in an open tab  ;)20:55
blfgomesjebba, afaik it's #maemo#, where the first number corresponds to the debian revision and the second to the maemo one20:57
VDVsxjebba, ah you said 'different' from debian, so I agree with taht20:57
VDVsxthat20:57
blfgomesand if it's not a debian repackage, it should be 0maemo#20:57
VDVsxsince it basically a new version20:57
VDVsxI cool with both solutions, one thing that I don't like is svn/git revisions as package versions20:59
VDVsxlike xpto_git24235423542asdf35maemo420:59
VDVsx:D20:59
blfgomes:P20:59
blfgomeswhat about fremantle/diablo?20:59
blfgomesshould it be used?21:00
VDVsxwell, IMO no, the packages aren't mixed and you should install from a repo, not from a page21:00
blfgomesthat's what I think as well, but since I saw a couple of packages using that, I thought I should ask21:01
jebbaVDVsx: i wish i could track it down, but i can't right now.  IIRC it was in the wiki.maemo.org namespace21:03
blfgomesanother thing: the documentation... Do I keep it in the package as it is and let it be purged?21:03
jebbablfgomes: but i think if it makes *no* changes it doesn't add maemo at all. It was a lucid explanation I read, i just wish i knew where ;)21:04
blfgomesjebba, I think it shouldn't add maemo only if it's an app built for maemo21:05
blfgomesif it's a port/repackage, in my understanding, you have to add maemo... That's what makes sense to me, but I'm not 100% sure21:06
VDVsxjebba, blfgomes , main article is here, can't find anything about it: http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Developer_Guide/Packaging%2C_Deploying_and_Distributing#Making_Application_Packages21:09
VDVsxonly did a quick look21:09
ifreqhmm21:09
blfgomesYes, I read that article... But I also found a document (pdf) about maemo guidelines. It is a couple of years old, so I don't know if it's outdated21:10
jebbaya, there's that PDF: I swear i saw it in the wikispace. I'm still hunting all this time...21:12
jebbahttp://maemo.org/forrest-images/pdf/maemo-policy.pdf  that talks about it a bit on page 11, but i saw something else too...21:13
blfgomesyes, that's the one I saw21:13
jebbahmm. i give up. "There is another..."21:15
blfgomes"If an upstream package is re-packaged or otherwise modified for maemo, a maemo21:18
blfgomesrevision MUST be appended to the upstream revision."21:18
blfgomesany takes on the documentation question?21:23
jebbathat looks good21:27

blfgomesjebba: what does?21:28
jebbathe 0maemo1 rule21:29
blfgomesoh, ok21:29
blfgomeswhat about the docs, keep them in, out...?21:30
jebbathat seems like a reasonable rule that should be kept. It probably conforms with some upstream debian policy, which should likely be the full rule here.21:35
blfgomesjebba: yes, that's how it works in Debian and Ubuntu21:37
blfgomesbut it seems like there is no standard in maemo right now, all packages have different naming conventions21:38
