| 14:28.30 | kencausey | pb_: Hey you around? |
| 14:29.15 | kencausey | pb_: I'm trying to figure out if the Source: field stuff has progressed far enough for me to add support to ipkgfind for it. |
| 14:30.18 | kencausey | pb_: I decided I would search through http://handhelds.org/feeds/unstable/Packages and see what I could find. |
| 14:30.36 | kencausey | The first instance I found of the Source: field was for your dbus-1 package |
| 14:30.46 | kencausey | Source: dbus |
| 14:30.49 | kencausey | What does that mean? |
| 14:31.36 | pb_ | hi kencausey |
| 14:32.01 | pb_ | ah, that package was generated with the Debian tools. So, the Source: field means that the source is in the Debian source package "dbus". |
| 14:32.39 | kencausey | I see, nothing to do with current plans, OK |
| 14:32.57 | kencausey | Next: |
| 14:38.47 | kencausey | Package: dhcpcd |
| 14:38.51 | kencausey | Source: ftp://ftp.phystech.com/pub/%{name}-%{ver}.tar.gz |
| 14:38.53 | kencausey | oops. ;) |
| 14:40.51 | kencausey | same thing happened to Justin Smith for lightd package |
| 14:41.01 | pb_ | heh |
| 14:43.59 | kencausey | Only rendezvous-mdnsposix has what I would expect to see so far. |
| 14:44.07 | kencausey | Which is packaged by Jamey of course. |
| 14:44.18 | kencausey | So, this makes me wonder what I should do. |
| 14:44.18 | pb_ | Right. |
| 14:44.32 | kencausey | Ignore the field if it doesn't contain at least one period? |
| 14:44.57 | pb_ | Dunno. I see there are many packages in unstable with Debian-style source: fields, so there might be some benefit in trying to support them. |
| 14:45.25 | kencausey | How would we do it though? Link to the Debian ARM sources? |
| 14:45.34 | pb_ | I guess so, yes. |
| 14:45.36 | kencausey | Source deb I mean. |
| 14:46.08 | kencausey | Only thing is that won't contain the exact sources. |
| 14:46.21 | kencausey | At the very least it will create a package with more than the ipkg contains. |
| 14:47.51 | pb_ | That's true. On the other hand, for GPL compliance all that matters is that people can recompile the binaries. There isn't any obligation to make it easy for them to package up the results. |
| 14:48.33 | kencausey | True, it's certainly better than nothing. |

| 18:58.37 | kencausey | pb_: Any idea if Debian specific maximum field length for control files? I can't seem to find it. |
| 18:58.45 | kencausey | s/specific/specifies/ |
| 19:15.04 | pb_ | kencausey: I don't think there's a specified maximum. |
| 19:15.38 | pb_ | Depends, in particular, can be arbitrarily long. |
| 19:16.02 | kencausey | OK |
| 19:16.14 | kencausey | Thanks pb_ |
| 19:37.13 | kencausey | boy, the number of columns in packages table continues to grow, maybe have to stop relying on auto_increment |
| 19:37.22 | kencausey | I stopped using that in my databases a long time ago |
| 19:39.58 | kencausey | What the heck is the term where you only have 2 columns in each table? Key and value... |
| 19:40.02 | kencausey | iso.. ortho... |

| 20:48.12 | france | Greetings |
| 20:48.34 | kencausey | Hi |
| 20:49.01 | kencausey | Getting Source support added to feeds and ipkgfind slowly but surely. |
| 20:49.12 | france | :-) |
| 20:50.04 | france | It is a lot of work. I just wish the person that was whinning whould do some of the work. |
| 20:51.47 | kencausey | It's not that bad, more time was spent deciding what to do that anything. |
| 21:00.38 | kencausey | http://handhelds.org/~nikos/ipkgfind/htdocs/details.phtml?package=rendezvous-mdnsposix&id=3443372&official= |
| 21:00.47 | kencausey | preview of ipkgfind with sources |
| 21:00.56 | kencausey | nothing fancy yet |
| 21:04.28 | france | looks great to me! |
| 21:04.42 | kencausey | Well, need to make it clickable |
| 21:05.02 | kencausey | And there are 3 cases to handle: |
| 21:05.05 | france | maybe, then maybe not. |
| 21:05.08 | kencausey | list of URLS |
| 21:05.17 | kencausey | list of filenames == files are in feed |
| 21:05.25 | france | the GLP only says we have to provide it, it does not say it has to be easy. :-) |
| 21:05.27 | kencausey | package name == debian source package |
| 21:13.15 | *** part/#hhwiki france (~france@fili.crl.dec.com) |
| 21:32.27 | kencausey | What's the best URL for debian ARM source packages? |
| 21:33.26 | kencausey | I just realize, that's not going to be that easy... |
| 22:01.09 | kencausey | Yeah, the whole debian name in Source: field is highly problematic |
| 22:01.31 | kencausey | Our version numbers don't generally match the Debian version number. |
| 22:01.47 | kencausey | There's not enough information there for me to generate a working correct URL. |
