hornbeckhe was here earlier but I had to run04:49
hornbeckhe is not filled in, on this change I do not thing04:49
hornbeckthink04:49
sivangI don't reckon it would be much of a problem, after all nothing hard was done :)04:49
sivangonly good IMHO04:49
hornbeckI feel kinda bad though because he worked alot on that with me04:50
sivangwe need to focus on lowered earth, trimmed down goals for haory, this is the major one,04:50
sivangand the 2 others are following,04:50
sivangso guess it looks good.04:50
hornbeckand we had plans to work on the wiki and the docbook at the same time and keep them both up to date with the same info04:50
hornbeckwell, I am going to start working on this.  Hopefully I will have a good amount of content in it this week04:51
hornbecktalk to you later04:51
hornbeckI like how he broke it all down into chapters04:52
sivangI see, well, the current suggestion is to use the wiki as an errata04:55
sivangwhich seems reasonable, what do you think?04:55
sivangIt's too much work updating both the wiki and the dobook04:56
=== sm-away is now known as sm
sivangand we have it doc book, we could always publish "unstable" braches to the website04:56
sivangexported is plain HTML.04:56
sivangIs this acceptable?04:56
hornbeckyes, that is good05:09
hornbeckhim and I had talked about that before all the talk of the wiki only being used for errata had been discussed05:09
sivangI meant unstable=stable05:11
hornbeckright05:21
hornbeckwhat does gnome-common do?05:21
sivangdid you apt-cache gnome-common?05:24
sivangsorry,05:24

hornbeckI don't like it05:30
sivanggoogle for it,05:30
hornbeckI have used it before05:30
sivangwhat was wrong with it?05:30

hornbeckso you don't do a complete install with it?05:32
sivangI am trying,05:32
hornbecknice05:32
sivangfd.o has been taken down to maintainance05:32

plovshornbeck, how's evo?05:38
hornbeckbroken05:38
hornbeckI am downloading the source from Ubuntu and the cvs so I can just roll my own binary05:39
sivanghornbeck : are you going to diff between the two and patch one?05:39
hornbeckyeah05:39
hornbeckis there a simple way to build debian packages?05:40
sivangI don't get it , could you please explain? how would that help you get a working evo?05:40
hornbecklike one command?05:40
sivangnot exactly..05:40
sivangthe build command at the end if you require no special setups is ttrue one command,05:40
sivangbut you must make some preperations for it.05:40
sivangread the NM's guide05:40
sivangit is a very nice intro to this,.05:41
hornbeckI have read it05:41
hornbeckI was just wondering if there was something easier05:41
sivangI this this is as easier as it gets..05:43
hornbeckI did not know if some other method had come along05:46
plovshornbeck, still need to rebuild the kernel for beagle?05:47
hornbeckyes05:48
hornbeckI have a prebuild on my server05:48
hornbeckif you want to try it, it is a stock kernel with inotify05:48
hornbeckstock ubuntu kernel with inotify05:49
plovsit's all the difference between rebuilding or not rebuilding05:49
plovsi liked it quite much without05:49
plovswhy is inotify not yet in the kernel?05:49
hornbeckit will be in 2.6.10 from what I heard05:50
hornbeckI don't mind redoing the kernel, I have other stuff built in anyways05:50
hornbeckmy laptop looks like crap with out the radion driver built in05:51
plovsi would like reiser4 and inotify05:51
hornbeckI am thinking of building Ubuntu Kernels with alot of patches and hosting them05:51
plovsfor the rest i'm happy05:51
