mdzKamion: do you have an announcement prepared already?12:03
Kamionnot even a little bit12:03
mdzthom says ETA: 30 minutes12:03
mdzmako: ping,, re: array 4 announcement12:03
KamionI'm starting one now12:04
Kamionum ... I was just going to do it based on the array 3 announcement, I think that's worked pretty well so far12:04
mdzok12:04
mdzwas looking for a copy12:04
mdzyou send these to where, -devel and -users?12:04
Kamionyeah12:05
KamionI always need to go through the installer changes I've made in order to write the release notes anyway12:05
Kamionhaha, bonus, due to the lazy way I wrote the end of publish-release, all I needed to do was 'publish-release daily 20050204.2 install no array-4; publish-release daily-live 20050204.2 live no array-4'12:08
mdzthe only interesting user-visible casper change is that it doesn't cause init to emit scary messages anymore12:08
sivanghrm I'm tired, night everyone!12:08
Kamionmdz: ok, thanks12:08
Kamionthat's since array 3.5 live right?12:08
mdzyes12:08
jbaileyKamion: Does the installer have tac and tsort available to it when it's running hotplug, or are you just in busybox land at that point?12:09
mdzjbailey: busybox12:11
ajmitchhello12:12
bluefoxicymdz:  how are users expected to upgrade ubuntu when a new version is out12:12
Kamionmdz: and the localisation fix12:12
jbaileymdz: Thanks.  Time to conjure some awk magic, I guess =)12:13
mdzKamion: oh, good call12:13
Kamionjbailey: neither appears to be in busybox12:13
bluefoxicymdz:  all the answers I can think of involving altering a setting to point at a new source, whether using synaptec's package manager or editing some files12:13
jbaileyKamion: No, they're definetly not.12:13
jbaileyThanks, though.12:13
Kamionmdz: (have you confirmed it to work, actually?)12:14
mdzKamion: let me do a quick test12:14
mdzsomeone did confirm it at the time, sivang I think12:15
robertjmdz: ok I have a /shadow-working and a /shadow-prestine, what args do I need to force feed patch to get the output you need?12:17
mdzrobertj: diff -ruN12:17
mdzKamion: confirmed, it works12:20
=== T-Bone is now known as T-None
robertjmdz: note to self: doh!12:22
robertjnote to self: set a root password12:22
=== robertj rm'd /etc/sudoers to test ;)
robertjbrb12:22
robertjactually I wont be, im gonna fix this and then be off to dinner12:22
Kamionmdz: where was 3.5 announced?12:24
Kamionmdz: oh, never mind, found it12:24
mdz3.5 went to -announce because it was the first live CD milestone EVAR12:24
mdzdo you think we should do broader announcements of any Arrays, or not until Preview?12:25
jbaileyMm.. no awk in the busybox udeb.12:25
mdzwhat's the required task?12:26
Kamionmdz: not until preview, I feel12:27
KamionI think the announcements to -users and -devel have served the intended purpose of Sounders and Arrays pretty well up to now; they've had a substantial amount of interest and testing, but not volumes that we can't cope with during development12:28
Kamionmdz: could you glance over http://people.ubuntu.com/~cjwatson/array-4-announce?12:28
Kamionjbailey: sed, tr, and 'while read ...; do' tend to be enough for most things IME ...12:30
Kamionmost awkish things, that is12:30
Kamionplus good use of ${var#...}, ${var%...}, etc. :-)12:30

elmogar, I so wish apt had rate limiting12:41
jbaileyKamion: I need to do an ordered sort with some guarantees put on it.  Like the pci hotplug run has to happen before the IDE one.  I can probably do a series of ugly pipes with grep -v to just extract them and force them to the end, though.12:41
mdzKamion: glancing12:41
mdzKamion: I think elmo might object to:12:42
mdzI recommend rsync if possible, as you can then download future images12:42
mdzbased on this one to save bandwidth.12:42
Kamionhm? that's been in the sounder/array announcements since sounder 6 or so12:42

=== zenrox [~knoppix@wbar7.sea1-4-10-181-189.sea1.dsl-verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
mdzonly users who download ISOs regularly should use rsync12:43
mdzand they certainly don't need to use rsync the first time, in order to be able to rsync later images12:43
Kamiontrue enough12:43
Kamionjust delete that paragraph then?12:43
mdzthat sentence and the rsync:// URL, I'd say12:43
KamionI do think the rsync:// URL should stay; it is not obvious how to construct it from the http:// URL12:44
=== usual [~colin@cpe-69-204-174-79.nycap.res.rr.com] has left #ubuntu-devel ["What]
Kamionat least I assume that it's not obvious because everybody seems to have to ask about it when we don't mention it explicitly12:45
mdzisn't it on the Archive page in the wiki?12:45

dholbachhi sivang! :-)06:19
wasabithis evms stuff is unbelievable.06:24
wasabii am tempted to make / a evms volume...06:24
wasabiwonder what the potential to do that automatically in ubuntu is. it kind of solves the drive order problem.06:24
sivangwasabi: it allows so many things...I was amazed to see it, and it has complete backward compatibility with lvms06:26
sivangwasabi: meaning you can leave your volumes as they were and evms would use them no prob06:26
wasabiyeah it seems that doing that is better06:26
wasabiusing lvm as the disk linker06:26
sivangI am using everything bu /boot under lvms on the laptop, should switch to evms sometime06:27
wasabiI'm thinking that if hte Ubuntu initrd has evms support... then I should be able to pass root=/dev/evms/root to the kernel.06:27
wasabidoes ubuntu's initrd support it?06:27
wasabiSee, this solves my one big problem... I can't hot swap my sata drives, because they make linux reorder sda to sdb, etc... causing grub to not boot and fstab to be inaccurate.06:28
sivangI am using lvms on the lappi, and /boot is the only partiton not under lvm, so at least for lvm it has?06:28
wasabiseems so.06:28
sivangah well, go ahead and test it on some non important data :)06:28
wasabiheh06:28
Treenakssivang: no, you test with real important data06:30
Treenakssivang: that way you can blame the developers06:30
sivangTreenaks: hehe, I always do, but I reckon wasabi has much more important data then I have on my syste :)06:30
wasabisivang: to auto mount an evms vol, you just plug the evms path into fstab right?06:30
wasabiI have been moving 600GB of anime back and forth between hd's for two days, reformatting ubuntu, and setting up evms.06:31
sivangwasabi: I am not sure, just read a couple of bits about it , using lvm on the laptop, not evms.06:31
wasabiahh.06:31
wasabidid you see evms?06:31
wasabiit's even better. ;006:31
sivangwasabi: I read about it sometime ago, after mdz noted to me it's apparent benefits.06:31
sivangwasabi: I think on my lvm entries in the fstab on the laptop, it as simple IIRC06:32
wasabiI'm seriously beginning to think that if Ubuntu set it up by default during an install, making / an evms vol, it would be Really Neat.06:32
sivangwell, this is rather a drastic decision to do, only time would tell :)06:33
