[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:51:07] <ankurs>it says invalid licence GPL

[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:51:22] <mether>yes, download the file

[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:51:34] <mether>ankurs: right, you need to replace that with a specific version

[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:51:51] <mether>if it is GPLv2 or later, the spec should say GPLv2+

[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:51:54] <ankurs>mether: ok so GPLv2

[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:51:58] <kushal>mether, can you explain me the steps to check for dependency using mock ?

[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:52:43] <ankurs>mether: changed it to GPLv2

[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:53:20] <mether>ankurs: ok, let me verify that

[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:54:10] <ankurs>ok

[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:54:22] <mether>kushal: you basically have to run something like mock rebuild -r fedora-devel-i386 /path/to/rpm

[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:54:29] <-> saahil>hello

[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:54:42] <kushal>mether, did, then build.log is showing errors

[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:54:49] <mether>well then

[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:54:51] <mether>check the errors

[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:55:34] <kushal>will be back, let me try to connect to vpn

[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:55:52] <prosenji>mether: <a href="http://www.jnvilo.com/dokuwiki/doku.php/rpm_packaging_howto">http://www.jnvilo.com/dokuwiki/doku.php/rpm_packaging_howto</a> -- good one

[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:56:10] <saahil>the font archive that i downloaded just has a .pfb file

[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:56:14] <S_pack_F>mether, is packaging fonts something different ?

[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:56:17] <sankarshan>keep a ping up on an internal server and you might figure out where you are dropping off

[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:56:32] <saahil>wat do i do of that?

[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:56:38] <mether>prosenji: it is already added as a reference from create package howto iirc

[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:56:55] <mether>ankurs: you need to change that to GPLv2+

[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:57:27] <prosenji>mether: ok.

[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:57:39] <Ankur^^>mether: downloaded and extracted..

[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:57:40] <ankurs>changing it to GPLv2 solved the license error

[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:58:11] <mether>GPLv2 is a valid tag but it isnt the correct tag for the source code

[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:58:22] <saahil>ok that means the font file i downloaded isn't a true type font, which shudn't make a diff rite?

[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:58:32] <mether>GPLv2 means only the GPLv2 license. GPLv2+ means GPL v2 or later

[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:58:39] <ankurs>mether: ok

[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:58:44] <mether>saahil: it is the "source" of the font

[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:58:55] <mether>you need to compile it to get the actual binary font

[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:59:28] <mether>ankurs: after you change it, you can go ahead and submit it

[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:59:35] <Ankur^^>mether: my extraction has two ttf files.. one for italic too.. and 3 txt files..

[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:59:40] <saahil>do i compile it right away? or is that what eventually v r going to do here?

[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:59:40] <mether>for review. I will take a look after that

[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:59:47] Quitkushal has left this server ("Leaving").

[Sun Aug 3 2008] [19:00:02] <mether>saahil: which font are we talking about. show me the upstream link

[Sun Aug 3 2008] [19:00:30] <saahil>one moment plz

[Sun Aug 3 2008] [19:00:32] <mether>ankurs: do you know the submission process?

[Sun Aug 3 2008] [19:00:35] <Ankur^^>mether: that ok right?

[Sun Aug 3 2008] [19:46:53] <mether>ankurs: %config in %files should fix that

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:39:55] <mether>ok, i havent gone through a ps font before so i guess you can just run rpmlint and if it passed, post it for review

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:40:00] <mether>yes, a conf file

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:40:11] <mether>for any of the decorative fonts should give you enough ideas

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:41:01] <mether>you need to run it on the spec file/ srpm and rpm

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:41:29] <Ankur^^>mether: most of these dont have conf files..

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:41:36] <mether>Ankur^^, you might want to pick a different nick. your current makes it hard to refer to you

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:44:22] <saahil>named it as <fontname>.spec (ie. banap__.spec)

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:45:00] <mether>franciscod: yes, you have to change the prefix to 65 and rename the conf file itself

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:45:16] <mether>saahil: rpmbuild -ba <spec> will do that

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:45:35] <franciscod>mether: okay.. Ill do that..

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:47:27] <mether>saahil: yes, the tarball or archive should be in that location

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:47:41] <mether>franciscod: the prefix range is listed in the page

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:48:35] <franciscod>mether: yes.. I can use any number from 65 to 69? randomly? Any rule for that?

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:48:35] <mether>franciscod: your current prefix would work

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:48:49] <mether>the higher numbers have lower priority

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:48:52] <franciscod>mether: 69-Old_Standard_fonts.conf

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:48:56] <mether>forget about the prefix. fix the name for now

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:48:58] <franciscod>mether: I changed it to this

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:49:01] <mether>and make sure the content is correct

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:49:41] <mether>alright

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:49:45] <franciscod>mether: and changed the family..

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:50:18] <franciscod>mether: to Old Standard.. given on the font's site..

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:51:02] <mether>dont change the family name

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:51:11] <franciscod>mether: Is there a way to check the conf file?? like the rpmlint spec thing?

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:51:17] <franciscod>mether: Okay.. ill change it back..

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:51:34] <mether>no, we dont have a checker for conf files.

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:51:43] <franciscod>mether: I leave the family as sans-serif?

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:51:50] <mether>yes

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:52:03] <saahil>mether: the tarball doesn't have the same name as the font itself. and its not a .tar.gz its a .tgz

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:52:13] <mether>what is it then

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:52:21] <mether>in the spec file

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:52:30] <debarshi>saahil: .tgz == .tar.gz usually.

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:53:23] <mether>whats your spec file called

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:53:33] <saahil>banap__.spec

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:53:46] <mether>rename that to banap-fonts.spec

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:53:50] <saahil>and the tarball is named bpl.tgz

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:53:52] <mether>let me check if i have a copy of that

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:53:58] <saahil>do i rename the spec file?

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:54:04] <mether>yes

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:54:10] <mether>not to bpp

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:54:12] <mether>bpl

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:54:24] <mether>whats the upstream url?

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:55:20] <saahil>mether: <a href="http://www.theory.org/~matt/fonts/free/?font=bpl">http://www.theory.org/~matt/fonts/free/?font=bpl</a>

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:55:30] <mether>ok

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:55:33] <mether>rename the spec

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:55:38] <mether>to bpl-fonts.spec

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:55:45] <mether>and change the name inside the spec too

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:55:49] <saahil>k

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:56:12] <mether>just for future reference, if the spec file is different from the archive name

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:56:20] <mether>setup -n <archive> works as well

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:56:43] <mether>but in this case, since upstream calls it bpl, thats the name we go with too

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:56:48] <franciscod>mether: this is the new file.. <a href="http://www.filefactory.com/file/527668/n/69-Old_Standard_fonts_conf">http://www.filefactory.com/file/527668/n/69-Old_Standard_fonts_conf</a>

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:25:38] <mether>saahil: yes, you need to fix the version number to match the tarball

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:26:13] <saahil>but the tarball doesn't have ne version number

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:26:16] <saahil>simply bpl.tgz

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:45:54] <franciscod>mether: checking still ?

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:46:03] <mether>yep

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:46:11] <franciscod>mether: okay..

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:47:55] <mether>you have removed stuff

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:47:59] <mether>from the spec that makes it confusing

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:48:16] <franciscod>mether: I hardly removed anything.. :)

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:48:33] <mether>%define fontname in the start of the spec is missing

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:49:12] <mether>nah

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:49:16] <mether>that is still incorrect

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:49:24] <mether>i told you to change the name to oldstandard

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:49:27] <mether>just the top of the spec

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:49:41] <franciscod>mether: I did that.. i messaged saying i made that change..

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:49:50] <mether>the paste is incorrect

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:49:53] <mether>it shows the old name

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:50:09] <franciscod>mether: everything else is same.. only the name is oldstandard.

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:50:16] <mether>well really

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:50:19] <mether>i need the latest spec

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:50:20] <mether>as it ias

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:50:23] <mether>for me to verify

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:50:29] <mether>i wont get the same output otherwise

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:50:29] <franciscod>mether: okay.. one minute..

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:51:36] <franciscod>mether: here.. the latest one.

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:51:47] <mether>alright

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:52:05] <mether>the fundamental problem is that the upstream tarball

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:52:08] <mether>doesnt create a directory

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:52:34] <franciscod>mether: okay.. so what do we do?

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:53:20] <mether>thats what i am checking

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:54:06] <franciscod>mether: can we package the extracted material into a tar.gz and do it? just asking.. will that be okay?

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:54:13] <mether>debarshi: do you remember the syntax for that

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:54:27] <mether>franciscod: nope. the upstream archive cannot be modified in any way

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:54:38] <franciscod>mether: okay.. anyway.. I ran the rpmbuild..

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:54:44] <franciscod>mether: it gives me this..

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:55:05] <mether>right, i just explained what the error means

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:55:06] * debarshi is reading

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:55:10] <franciscod>mether: + /usr/bin/unzip -qq /home/Package/rpmbuild/SOURCES/oldstand-1.0.ttf.zip

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:56:15] <franciscod>mether: Is that an error?? what i pasted?

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:56:27] <mether>yes and I already explained it

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:56:43] * debarshi clicks

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:56:49] <franciscod>mether: okay.. so what do i enter for the time being? n..?

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:57:20] <mether>you are missing parts of the conversation for some reason

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:57:35] <mether>the fundamental problem is that the upstream tarball

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:57:35] <mether> doesnt create a directory

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:57:35] <mether><franciscod> mether: okay.. so what do we do?

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:57:35] <mether><mether> thats what i am checking

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:57:52] * debarshi checks his own Specs

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:58:05] <franciscod>mether: got that.. okay..I dint understand that as an error.. sorry..

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:59:40] <mether>the usual case is the archive will create a directory with the same name and then extract the files into that

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:59:56] <mether>since this zip file doesnt do that, we have to workaround that in the spec file

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:00:07] <mether>the exact syntax escapes me now. I will have to cross check

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:00:25] <franciscod>mether: okay..

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:00:30] <debarshi>'%setup -q -n .' <-- might work

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:00:54] <mether>nah

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:00:55] <debarshi>... in the %prep stanza.

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:00:56] <mether>it wont

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:00:58] <mether>try it

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:01:08] <debarshi>mether: Can't try here now.

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:01:56] <mether>franciscod: ask in #fedora-devel. I dont remember the syntax

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:02:27] <franciscod>mether: okay..

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:02:51] <mether>its a fairly simple argument

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:03:00] <franciscod>mether: can you give me the exact question to ask?? Theyll understand it better that way..?

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:03:18] <franciscod>mether: I might not be able to explain it very well..

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:03:30] <mether>franciscod: post the fpaste link and ask whats wrong with it. that should be enough

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:03:36] <franciscod>mether: okay..

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:05:31] <franciscod>mether: no replies.. waiting..

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:05:54] <mether>franciscod: it wont be instantaneous . you need patience.

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:06:05] <franciscod>mether: yes.. im waiting.. :)

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:07:39] <mether>btw

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:07:50] <mether>i didnt get a request for approving fedorabugs group

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:07:57] <mether>did you apply to that group yet

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:08:04] <franciscod>mether: I was already there..

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:08:23] <franciscod>mether: I had signed up for bug triaging.. was trying to learn..

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:08:24] <mether>franciscod: then you should be able to login to fedorapeople.org

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:08:33] <mether>with your fedora account name and password

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:08:34] <franciscod>mether: Ill try..

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:10:24] <debarshi>mether: -c

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:10:32] <debarshi>franciscod: Use -c with %setup.

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:10:44] <franciscod>mether: uhm.. the login links not on fedorapeople.org.. is it?

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:10:46] <debarshi><a href="http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/s1-rpm-inside-macros.html">http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/s1-rpm-inside-macros.html</a>

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:10:58] <mether>debarshi: %setup -q -c oldstand?

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:11:02] <mether>that doesnt work either

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:11:17] <mether>franciscod: i have no idea what that question means

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:11:45] <mether>ah interesting

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:11:51] <mether>it fails with another error

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:11:58] <mether>i sup -c does make it pass that stage

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:12:57] <mether>franciscod: i found the mistake. your install section is wrong

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:13:41] <franciscod>mether: what in it?

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:14:36] <debarshi>mether: %setup -q -c should do.

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:14:49] <debarshi>Or %setup -q -c -n oldstand

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:14:51] <mether>install -dm 755 OldStandard.ttf OldStandard-Italic.ttf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{fontdir}

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:15:06] <mether>that creates a directory with the names of the file

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:15:12] <mether>because of -dm

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:15:13] <debarshi>One can specify a name only with -n.

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:15:16] <mether>d there means directory

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:15:27] <mether>and the permissions are wrong

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:15:31] <mether>it should be 644

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:15:55] <franciscod>mether: okay.. and i leave the * s as in the example?

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:15:57] <mether>there are still more errors

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:16:23] <mether>where is *s?

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:16:56] <mether>i am not sure what you are referring to

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:17:16] <franciscod>mether: # for example: install -pm 644 *.ttf *.otf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{fontdir}

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:17:22] <franciscod>mether: this way?

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:17:38] <mether>yes

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:17:46] <mether>but you have to modify it

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:17:51] <mether>to apply to the filenames

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:17:53] <mether>in your archive

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:18:27] <franciscod>mether: okay.. what should it be?

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:18:44] <mether>can you make a guess

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:18:58] <franciscod>mether: uhm.. give me a minute to think..

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:19:05] <mether>if i have to give you the spec line by line, i am not sure you would have learned anything by the end of the process

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:24:36] <mether>%{name}-fontconfig.conf should have the prefix in front

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:24:43] <mether>other than that, it seems alright now

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:25:01] <mether>i want you to make sure you understand what each and every line does before you submit the spec/srpm for review however

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:25:06] <Ankur^^>mether: what would i write in the XX?? the prefix you taught me?

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:25:11] <mether>yes

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:25:26] <Ankur^^>mether: Ill practice more font packages... that would help right?

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:25:32] <mether>definitely

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:26:04] <Ankur^^>mether: okay.. then Ill take that as homework..

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:26:33] <mether>if you have doubts, come back tom same time

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:26:35] <mether>and we can continue

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:26:38] <Ankur^^>mether: how do i add prefix to the %{name} place?

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:26:47] <Ankur^^>mether: just add a 69?

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:26:50] <mether>add the number before it

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:27:03] <Ankur^^>mether: okay.. how do i know im packaging right?

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:27:04] <mether>its just the name of the file

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:27:09] <Ankur^^>mether: okay..

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:27:13] <mether>you have to build it and verify

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:27:17] <mether>run rpmlint etc

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:27:35] <Ankur^^>mether: okay,.. Ill do that..

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:29:56] <Ankur^^>mether: okay..

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:31:27] <debarshi>mether: Should it not be 'yum localinstall griffith...' ?

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:31:40] <mether>debarshi: they are just an alias

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:31:50] <mether>yum localinstall is not needed anymore in fact

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:32:29] <mether>yes

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:32:41] <Ankur^^>mether: okay..

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:32:45] <mether>yum will use that and check the deps against the repo

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:32:52] <mether>localinstall is merely an alias to install now

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [12:46:45] <Ankur^^>is this a successful build?

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [12:47:03] <chacha_chaudhry>see exit 0

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [12:47:26] <chacha_chaudhry>what do you infer?

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [12:47:36] <chacha_chaudhry>yes :-)

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [12:48:04] <Ankur^^>chacha_chaudhry: WOW.. my first package.. how do i test it?? mock etc right?

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [12:48:19] <Ankur^^>chacha_chaudhry: It has two warnings.. do i need to correct them?

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [12:48:46] <chacha_chaudhry>Ankur^^: yes .. you can try your best

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [12:48:55] <chacha_chaudhry>Ankur^^: to correct them

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [12:49:27] <chacha_chaudhry>Ankur^^: mock or if you have koji activated then use that .... in case your bandwidth is too low

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [12:49:37] <chacha_chaudhry>*koji account

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [12:49:46] <Ankur^^>chacha_chaudhry: okay.. I think ive figured why they are there.. I can just edit the spec and rebuild.. i dont need to remove anything etc..do i?

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [12:50:14] <Ankur^^>chacha_chaudhry: Ill have to set up mock or koji whatever.. havent been to that part of the howto yet..

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [12:50:23] <chacha_chaudhry>depends ... most probably no ... just edit spec and rebuild

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [12:50:40] <chacha_chaudhry>okay.

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [12:51:58] <Ankur^^>chacha_chaudhry: okay.. thank you so much for your help.. I have to go "practice" until i know what everyline in the spec file means.. mether's instructions...

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [18:33:47] <franciscod>mether: had some trouble with some parts of the spec.. chacha chaudhuri and others helped out..

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [18:33:58] <franciscod>mether: yes.. guess so.. :)

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [18:34:29] <mether>excellent

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [18:35:22] <franciscod>mether: the warnings at the end arent there now.. i figured them out..

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [18:35:23] <mether>cool

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [18:35:32] <mether>good

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [18:35:39] <mether>how about you submi a review request?

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [18:35:51] <franciscod>mether: I think I will.. Is there a way I can check the rpm? My first so not so confident on it..

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [18:36:13] <franciscod>mether: the outputs looks okay?

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [18:36:51] <mether>yes, the output looks okay. we can fix more things in the review if necessary. go ahead and submit it

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [18:36:58] <mether>do you know the process?

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [18:37:01] <franciscod>mether: No..

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [18:37:24] <franciscod>mether: Is there a wiki link for this too like the others?

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [18:38:34] <franciscod>mether: i came across "mock" while searching for a way to check the rpm..

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [18:38:44] <mether>franciscod: yes

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [18:38:55] <franciscod>mether: what is it? even something called "koji"..

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [18:38:59] <mether>you dont have any build requirements for your package

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [18:39:06] <franciscod>mether: no..

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [18:39:17] <mether>usually, software packages depend on other software packages

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [18:39:27] <mether>and mock is a way of verifying that

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [18:39:51] <franciscod>mether: okay.. so while im packaging fonts i dont need to know that..

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [18:39:55] <mether>koji is the Fedora build system which allows building for multiple architectures - x86, ppc etc

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [18:40:09] <mether>being aware is good

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [18:40:42] <franciscod>mether: okay.. Ill read the wiki for this too..

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [18:43:02] <mether>yes

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [18:43:17] <mether>you can scp the content to your fedorapeople page

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [18:43:48] <franciscod>mether: okay.. Ill have to learn that too.. have the wiki link..

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [18:44:00] <mether>ok

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [18:45:17] <franciscod>mether: my fedora packager group says status NONE.. i need this approved before submitting a package?

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [18:45:45] <mether>no, you need to submit the package first

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [18:46:16] <franciscod>mether: okay.. Ill just fill the form up..
