Packaging with Amith and TheEvilPhoenix

04:33

@Amithkk I created the first iteration of the HTTP-R package, but i'd like it to have someone review it as well as test it before I throw it up onto the PPA. Also, it doesn't plop directly into /var/www/, but rather /var/www/xbmc-http-r/ for now (it creates that folder)

Amith kk

@TheEvilPhoenix Ok gimme the deb

The Evil Phoenix

sec

@Amithkk kor.trekweb.org/packaging/xbmc-http-r_0.4~ubuntu1_all.deb

make sure you added your PPA though

because jethttp isnt in any repos ;)

php5 and php5-gd are though

Amith kk

W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/amithswebblogteam/ppa/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/source/‌Sources 404 Not Found

The Evil Phoenix

because you didnt add it right

sec

Amith kk

13:04

Oneric is not supported :D

The Evil Phoenix

hehe

that's what i forgot to do

ppa:amithswebblogteam/ppa <-- that goe sinto sources

and lemme fix something

give it 4 minutes

i've told the system to push the natty package of jethttp into the oneric repo in the ppa

and add these into sources.list:

deb ppa.launchpad.net/amithswebblogteam/ppa/ubuntu oneiric main
deb-src ppa.launchpad.net/amithswebblogteam/ppa/ubuntu oneiric main

you never add the source repos

you add that

into sources.list on oneric

Amith kk

@TheEvilPhoenix Doing apt-add repository does :P

The Evil Phoenix

then you didnt put the right string in

apt-add-repository ppa:amithswebblogteam/ppa

just that

or w/e the command is

Amith kk

W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/amithswebblogteam/ppa/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/source/Sources 404 Not Found

W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/amithswebblogteam/ppa/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

The Evil Phoenix

thats because its trying to be smartassy

EDIT THE DAMNED SOURCES.LIST MANUALLY

don't trust the builtin commands

and I know there's stuff in the system

because it reads as having oneiric packages

and remember i have had 3 hours of sleep

so my rages tend to be very intense today

>.>

Amith kk

13:11

You do know about the sleep button right

Nevermind

W: Failed to fetch ppa.launchpad.net/amithswebblogteam/ppa/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/…  404  Not Found

W: Failed to fetch ppa.launchpad.net/amithswebblogteam/ppa/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/…  404  Not Found

still same

Amith kk

Silly me

it works

@TheEvilPhoenix 500 Internal Server Error

There was an error processing your request.

I get that

The Evil Phoenix

check the logs

The Evil Phoenix

sounds like either a webserver error or your config is messed

want me to redo the package with apache2 as a dependency?

Amith kk

13:53

Ok

But that would destroy the cause :P

The Evil Phoenix

:P

for testing purposes

install apache

use it

Amith kk

@George MEET ME!

The Evil Phoenix

see if it works

Amith kk

@TheEvilPhoenix I already have apache2 installed

The Evil Phoenix

and?

that?

the package is dependent on jethttp though so they may be conflicting

Amith kk

13:56

@TheEvilPhoenix I have stopped apache

The Evil Phoenix

did you start apache, stop jethttp, and see if the same errors occur?

as @George said, jethttp is untested with PHP

Amith kk

No it doesent

The Evil Phoenix

what doesnt

the errors dont occur in apache2?

Amith kk

yes

The Evil Phoenix

so the issue is in jethttp

@Amithkk did you get any info from the XBMC team yet?>

because i bugged their IRC channel

and because its under the GPL/LGPL v2, we can use it

i.e. grab the source packages and build them

or god forbid, i grab the entire source code and repackage it

as long as we give attribution to the XBMC team

which we can do if I build the debian package

Amith kk

14:01

:DDDDD

The Evil Phoenix

@Amithkk i'm going to see if I can't get the source packages

and then build them

for xbmc

what version do you want me to get, Natty?

oh btw

my building environment is always Lucid

for stability reasons

but i can always push the code up to natty or others

Amith kk

Natty+Oneric

And Lucid

Just push for everything 10.+

The Evil Phoenix

oh dear

there's no natty packages for XBMC

what to do...

i know

Amith kk

@TheEvilPhoenix No prob

i use the maverick one

The Evil Phoenix

GET THE LUCID SOURCE THEN REBUILD THE DAMNED THING IN NATTY!

Amith kk

14:11

Ill build

The Evil Phoenix

MUAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

who's going to build the package? ;)

i am going to grab the source package

and just reupload that to our PPA

Amith kk

Oh ****

im using Oneric

The Evil Phoenix

FAILURE!
YOU HAVE BEEN JUDGED :p

</weirdo>

Amith kk

PS can we get a team GPG siginature?

The Evil Phoenix

already exists

unless you want a uniform shared PGP key

in which case i'll create one now

Amith kk

14:13

Ok!

The Evil Phoenix

the team by default already has a PGP key in the system

Amith kk

Oh no

The Evil Phoenix

but i can make a .deb signing one

Amith kk

i just was running my server with no protection

The Evil Phoenix

problem is... @George will need to rebuild the jethttp package with said PGP key

FAIL, YOU HAVE FAILED!

um...

we need a team email :P

Amith kk

14:14

on it!

The Evil Phoenix

not a mailing list

but ... yeah a mailing list :P

because once i have it i'll throw that into the PGP key i'm creating

you don't mind if i make it a freaking crazy sized bitstrength do ya? like 4096 or something?

i only use 4096 bit strength keys.

Amith kk

password of the combined email?

@TheEvilPhoenix k

The Evil Phoenix

oh btw @Amith

you seriously owe me for my time.

Amith kk

:\

Better change this into a private room

The Evil Phoenix

cant. but i'll erase the code shortly

erasing now. make sure you have it

IT IS POOFED!

and now as I said, you owe me for my time. it took me 2.5 hours to write the debian/install file, because there are so many files and dirs

Amith kk

14:18

Security Passwoed

The Evil Phoenix

for?

Amith kk

@TheEvilPhoenix The team email

The Evil Phoenix

oh

Amith kk

@TheEvilPhoenix How may i owe you

The Evil Phoenix

by being grateful :P

Amith kk

14:19

Thank You alot @TheEvilPhoenix Thou art awesome

2

The Evil Phoenix

anyways brb, going to grab the source tarball

@Amithkk ooh i can copy the xbmc packages in directly. no need to build. want me to copy in maverick, lucid?

i'll then have to copy the maverick up

(version will have "maverick" in it, but idfc)

Amith kk

@TheEvilPhoenix Yes

Oh noes the password was lost!

The Evil Phoenix

which one

:P

switch the two words

oh

Amith kk

I need verification

LOL

The Evil Phoenix

heh. i've initiated the copy of the packages

now one thing i failed to do... was create the http-r for only i386 and amd64

so... i'll need to redo that before pushing the stuff up.

Amith kk

14:26

can ya give my your Phone no

Need verification

The Evil Phoenix

US number

erasing in 30 seconds

Amith kk

Youll get a call

give me the code

The Evil Phoenix

sec

38319

Amith kk

@TheEvilPhoenix your email

The Evil Phoenix

which one :P

Amith kk

14:30

your gmail

The Evil Phoenix

they're all gmail :P

use the third one

btw erasing those email addresses in 15 seconds

so copy-paste ;)

Amith kk

Now see your email

The Evil Phoenix

access verification accepted, up to 30 minutes for it to process

Amith kk

I got the confirmation

The Evil Phoenix

:)

the PGP key is going to have the same passcode as the one we said earlier

Amith kk

14:33

Awesome

The Evil Phoenix

so make sure you have that code written down

Amith kk

@TheEvilPhoenix the gmail password?

The Evil Phoenix

because that's the code we use to sign these ;)

yep that code is the same code being used on the PGP private key

which we will both share

Amith kk

I hate my mind

It forgot

The Evil Phoenix

i'll send the passcode to the email :P

might take a few to generate the key

once its generated i'll send it via that shared email ;)

Amith kk

14:37

@TheEvilPhoenix Note that you cannot add package stream's like Oneric without the admin's permission

So you are an admin from now

The Evil Phoenix

ooh nice

Amith kk

BBL

The Evil Phoenix

k

Amith kk

15:51

facepalm

@TheEvilPhoenix you forgot to get the dependencies

 Fixd it

Amith kk

16:28

Nah

dependencies not satisfied

The Evil Phoenix

16:55

i put a package deletion request in

once its deleted

i'll just copy in the already-compiled binaries

s/compiled/built/

s/binaries/debs/

@Amithkk ^

Amith kk

:D

The Evil Phoenix

it may take some time to delete

in the mean time

i am going to do nothing until those packages are deleted

@Amithkk i also sent the PGP key to the shared email address

so feel free to check that and download the key into all your systems ;)

Amith kk

saw that :D

The Evil Phoenix

note it has the private key as well

so it must have the passcode entered to import

Amith kk

cool

The Evil Phoenix

17:01

once you've done that

erase that email

i dont want that key getting spread around :P

Amith kk

BBT

shouting father
