mdzbut if there is any other business, we can discuss it while we wait10:00
\shJaneW: it's not even allowed here in germany :( but when you enter germany via terminal 2 from heathrow u have luck and no customs is controlling (if you're european)10:00
Treenaksmdz: Maintainer or MemberCandidates?10:01
\shok10:01
mdzTreenaks: both10:01
pittimdz: can we hot-add postgresql to the agenda?10:01
dholbachTreenaks: members are in CC meeting10:01
mdzpitti: sure, what's the issue?10:01
dholbachah ok10:01
fabbionemdz: and TB meeting time rotation please10:01
pittimdz: the current breezy packages are still the "old" architecture, I'd like to put in the new architecture as in Debian experimental10:01
JaneWmaybe mention that the CC meeting follows at 22:00 UTC?10:01
Treenaksdholbach: oh wait.. *wrong agenda*10:01
pittimdz: I won't support the current packages for Sarge+1 anyway, so Breezy would be the first distro with 8.0 and the multicluster architecture10:02
mdzpitti: are you confident that the packages can be stabilized by featurefreeze?10:02
dokopitti: hold on! let's finish one of the three things we started ...10:02

ogradoko, why ? its more fun....10:02
pittimdz: yes, I hack a lot of them during my free time and they have almost all of the features of the current packages10:02
pittidoko: ?10:02
mdzpitti: are there upgrade issues to consider?10:02
pittimdz: there is a transition package to postgresql-7.4, and a pg_upgradecluster script to transition to 8.010:03

Treenakspitti: a working upgrade script?!10:03
=== surak [~kurumin@200.128.80.254] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
dokopitti: how many packages have to be changed? let's wait one or two weeks until xorg and C++ ABI are in a usable state10:03
mdzpitti: so postgresql_7.4.5 will be superseded by postgresql_8.0?10:03
pittimdz: actually by postgresql-7.410:03
pittimdz: -8.0 can be installed in parallel10:04
mdzdoko: the question is whether we will do it for breezy10:04
pittimdz: the biggest piece of work is the libpq3 -> libpq4 transition10:04
mdzpitti: ok, so a dist-upgrade does not upgrade you to 8.010:04
dokook10:04
=== vincent_ [~vincent@abo-185-85-69.ang.modulonet.fr] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
ogradoko, i thought main was done already10:04
pittimdz: no, the purpose of the new arch was to explicitly avoid database upgrades during package upgrades10:04
pittimdz: that only led to trouble10:04
ogradoko, CXX that it...10:04
mdzpitti: and you do not mind supporting both 7.4 and 8.0 in a stable release?10:04
pittimdz: since I will do it anyway for Sarge+1, and upstream is very nice, I don't mind10:05
mdzpitti: ok, I have no problem then10:05
pittimdz: for bigger vendors like ISPs it is nice to be able to offer several versions and multiple clustes, so I'd like to keep 7.4 around10:05
=== astharot- [~isager@host25-161.pool8254.interbusiness.it] has joined #ubuntu-meeting

astharot-hi10:06
dokopitti: please don't start now, but in June first 10:06
pittidoko: that's fine for me10:06
pittimdz: the point is, the current packages are a PITA to maintain and a PITA for upgrading users10:06

mdzok, fabbione: meeting times?10:06
pittimdz: I don't want to support it longer than necessary10:06
fabbionemdz: yes. we need to rotate the meeting time to get other people too10:07
fabbionemdz: it was proposed and approved but never really took place10:07
pittidoko: I'm not in a hurry, June will be more than fine10:07
JaneWI second that10:08
mdzfabbione: what do you suggest?10:08
fabbionemdz: mako suggested something like 20:00 UTC and 10:00 UTC?10:08
fabbionemdz: or something along that line10:08
ograsounds good10:08
JaneWworks for me10:08
fabbionemdz: my original suggestion was different10:08
mdzfabbione: it is necessary that I be awake during the meeting10:08
pittiogra: yeah, nice for Europe10:08
fabbionebut apparently nobody liked it10:08

mdz1000 UTC is 0300 for me10:09

=== herve [~hcauwelie@ip-3.net-81-220-179.nice.rev.numericable.fr] has left #ubuntu-meeting ["Leaving"]

fabbionemdz: and uk didn't like the original proposal10:09
JaneWhow bad is 6:00UTC?10:09
=== Keybuk [~scott@syndicate.netsplit.com] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
dokoit would be nice not to have a 20:00 UTC meeting in end of June10:09
dokoJaneW, yes!10:09
pittiHi Keybuk 10:09
Burgundavia11pm our time, JaneW10:09
JaneWare people in the states still up then?10:09
mdzKeybuk: we briefly discussed postgresql 8.0, and are now talking about meeting scheduling10:09
mdzKeybuk: (while waiting for you so that we can process maintainers)10:10
BurgundaviaJaneW, by our, I mean mdz and myself10:10
Keybukdid you get my text?10:10
mdzJaneW: I'm often awake then, but it means the meeting will have to be strictly time-limited so that I get to sleep at a reasonable hour10:10
mdzKeybuk: yes10:10
JaneWBurgundavia: ok, and the Canadians etc too of course10:10
\shsiretat will join the meeting between 20:30 and 20:45 utc he has a schedule 10:10
mdzKeybuk: you beat your estimate by 20 seconds10:10
Keybukwhat meeting times are we considering?10:11
BurgundaviaJaneW, that is terrible time for east coast people/brazial people10:11
Keybukgiven this current time already seems to be impossible for sabdfl to make10:11
JaneWmdz: it;s 10:11pm now, and the CC meeting is 12am my time :P10:11
mdzKeybuk: fabbione proposed 1000 UTC, but that's firmly in sleep territory for me10:11
fabbioneKeybuk: 06:00 UTC and 20:00 UTC10:11
fabbionein rotation10:11
fabbioneso that we can alternate10:11
Keybuk6 utc is too early for me to function properly (or indeed, make, usually)10:12
mdzJaneW: yes, but I have to be lucid for TB meetings :-)10:12
dokowhat about 18:00 UTC?10:12
mdz1800 UTC is no problem for me10:12
=== Dilago [~Dilago@200.128.80.254] has left #ubuntu-meeting ["Leaving"]
fabbionewell clearly in rotation somebody needs to sacrify a bit10:12
JaneWI could do 1800 UTC, but 1900 would be better10:13
dokois this ok for jbailey, or earlier? we did start with 16:00 UTC10:13
fabbionebut that would give other continets the possibility to partecipate as well10:13
=== Dilago [~Dilago@200.128.80.254] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
mdzbasically 1700-0500 can be made to work for me10:13
jbaileydoko: Yup.10:13
Keybukfabbione: the problem with the TB meeting is that we've such as small Q, for even one of us to be unable to make it or insufficiently lucid, defaults the point10:13
Keybukunlike the CC members, who are ten a penny :p10:13
JaneWok, how many Australians are there?10:13
pittimdz: well, 0500 is still almost night, but doable10:13
jbaileydoko: Pretty much any night time that is good for Europe is going to be good for north america, and any morning that's good for mdz will be good for those of us east of him. =)10:13
fabbioneKeybuk: well that's an issue that can be addressed expanding the TB10:13
SeveasNow here's an idea: let everybody write down his/her doable time and send it to JaneW, she can pick a time that's reasonable for all10:14
ograJaneW, none10:14
fabbioneKeybuk: as it is now we are cutting away a good portion of the community10:14
JaneWSeveas: good idea10:14
fabbioneand i don't find it sensible at all10:14
JaneWhoweveer I will have to make some 'executive decisions' I am sure ;)10:14
mdzKeybuk: huh?10:14
pittiwe also have to consider people from e. g. Asia10:14
mdzlast I checked the CC and TB had a similar number of members10:14
KeybukI thought CC had 5 ?10:14
opiSeveas: I suggest same thing to Mako about CC ;)10:15
JaneWdoes sabdfl need/want to be at these meetings?10:15
JaneWif yes, what times is HE available?10:15
pittiJaneW: he has a vote, he should be10:15
opiJaneW: he's on CC from time to time10:15
Seveassabdfl wants to be on CC generally afaik10:15
mdzKeybuk: 410:15
mdzKeybuk: The Community Council is constituted as follows: Benjamin Hill, Mark Shuttleworth, Colin Watson, and James Troup10:15
Keybukyeah, just read that :)  Somehow I thought lamont was on that too10:16
Keybukso ignore me :p10:16
mdzJaneW: sabdfl and Keybuk are in the same time zone10:16
mdzphysically anyway10:16
JaneWyes, which is similar to mine10:16
lamontKeybuk: I show up and give my opinion from time to time... but am on neither board10:16
dholbachi think we should pick some times that fit for the most, make the time frame a BIT bigger, so it will hurt a BIT, and then start rotating10:16
mdzI can give a 12-hour window, 1700-0500 UTC for the start of a meeting10:17
JaneWcan we try 6:00 and 20:00 and see how that goes?10:17
Keybukfor me, 1000-2359UTC10:17
\shi don't mind the times....when I know when the meeting starts i'm there...even during work hours or dream hours10:18

mdzand sabdfl10:18

mdzthere is more than one problem10:19
KeybukJaneW: 7am UK in summer, 6am in winter10:19
seb128pitti: there is one hour difference between you and uk10:19
mdzsabdfl often can't make these meetings, regardless of the timing10:19
=== JaneW generally starts work at 7:30 am, 8:00 on a bad day :P
mdzKeybuk and I are 8 hours apart, so we're fairly restricted there already10:20

mdzif we don't have sabdfl, then we need to accomodate both Keybuk and myself with regard to times10:21
JaneWok mdz, it;s obvious you just have to move ;)10:21
opipitti: unless you're not a sailor ;)10:21
Kamionof course, as far as the TB goes, quoracy is more important, so it doesn't matter *too* much if (say) I can't make every meeting, but somebody should ask sabdfl10:21
opipitti: s/not//10:21
mdzJaneW: then people will just complain that we're scheduling against the US10:21
ograpitti, oh, that changed ?10:21
mdzand excluding that bit of the community10:22
mdzif you guys want to try the next meeting without me, that's fine10:22
mdzbut if only one member of the board can attend, not much will get done10:22
Keybukwe tried that last week ;)10:22
JaneWer no, we tried that last week...10:22
mdzright10:22
JaneWthat's why we are back now ;)10:22
pittimdz: can we do the idea of the "every CC member states his available times and we take the intersection"?10:23
ograpitti, its TB here10:23
dokopitti: empty set ;-)10:23
=== Seveas repeats his idea in a different form: let all TB members and community enthousiasts write their time on some wiki page and a decision can be made later
mdzpitti: that's how we got the current time10:23
JaneWspeaking of which, now that Kamion is here should we go back to point 1, since this argument will probably never be concluded...10:23
mdzpitti: the complaint is that while the board members can attend, many community members can't10:23
=== Kamion can't find a point 1 in scrollback, so I hope we can recap
fabbionesomehow there are 2 problems10:24
mdzJaneW: eh?10:24
pittimdz: right, I know, but without board membery community folks can't be approved anyway10:24
fabbione1) time rotation10:24
dholbachi think most guys will "prepare" themselves, if they know a date and time (whenever it is)10:24
fabbione2) TB is too small to cover 24hour community10:24
fabbioneboth of them needs to be addressed imho10:24
Nafallofabbione: ++10:24
JaneWer were we waiting on kamion for a maintainer candidate?10:24
pittiidea: every meeting is 6 hours later than the previous one10:25
JaneWmaybe I missed something10:25
KamionJaneW: I'm not a TB member; I don't get a vote there10:25
mdza larger TB is not a good solution to a scheduling problem10:25
fabbionepitti: that was what mako and I proposed for the CC10:25
mdzJaneW: we were waiting on Keybuk10:25
pittithen all folks should be able to attend at least 2/4 in a month10:25
fabbionepitti: it didn't work10:25
\shquestion i have: do we need a TB meeting every 2nd week?10:25
pittifabbione: ok :-(10:25
ograJaneW, for maintainer candidates we're waiting for siretart10:25
mdz\sh: yes10:25
dholbach\sh: yes, i think so10:25
KamionI think it's far more important that general community members be able to attend CC meetings than TB meetings10:25
KeybukI think both mdz and I ignored the last attempt at rotation in the hope it'd go away :p10:25
Seveas\sh, see the calendar10:25
mdzpitti: there are only 2 per month10:25
fabbionepitti: mainly because nobody can deal with 1 bad wake up over 4 :(10:25
fabbione4 meetings...10:26
fabbione(2 months)10:26
\shmdz: ok for really technical stuff ok..but what about the community tb stuff? this should go every 4 weeks, and when the wanna be TB members wants to be in, they have only one appointment 10:26
Kamion\sh: by the time people are coming up for maintainership approval, their contributions ought to be obvious even in absentia10:26
dholbachfabbione has  a point - i think it's not that bad10:26
mdz\sh: technical stuff -> TB, community stuff -> CC10:26
Kamion\sh: if they aren't, they shouldn't be approved yet (he says making a wild generalisation)10:27
\shmdz: I was thinking about upload possibility for members10:27
mdzKamion: for discussion, it's useful for the persons involved in a project/idea to be present10:27
mdzKamion: sometimes a proxy works, but often not10:27
siretartre10:27
\shmdz: CC is something else10:27
ogramdz, i think \sh meant MOTU approvals10:27
siretarthi folks, just arrived :)10:27
\shogra: right10:27
ograsiretart, heya10:27
mdz\sh: that means waiting a full month just to get an answer for a candidate, and that is too long10:27
\shmdz: but then we can come to a conclusion for the times :) 10:27
mdz\sh: I don't see how it helps10:28
mdzwe have exactly the same scheduling problem, only less frequently10:28

JaneWhi siretart10:29
dholbachwhat about fabbione's point? who can't cope with one "bad wake up" in 4 meetings? this, to me, seems to be the only solution to this10:29
Kamion\sh: if you can make totally arbitrary times, you're a lucky man. Not everyone can.10:29
siretarthi JaneW, hello ogra 10:29
mdzdholbach: I don't see how that solves the problem10:29
mdzdholbach: 4 meetings = 2 months10:30
lamontmdz: it shares the pain10:30
fabbionemdz: as lamont said10:30
dholbachyes, if we rotated times properly10:30
JaneWand allows various timezones/continents to get involved, even if they only join in once every 2 months10:30
Keybukdholbach: clearly some people can't cope with one "bad wake up" for the sole time they need TB for something ... otherwise we wouldn't be having this discussion10:30
fabbionemdz: basically of 4 meetings you get 2 of them during working hours, 1 a bit late in the eveining and only one as bad wake up10:30
mdzconsider that you're applying for maintainership10:30
lamontmdz: and basically means that you can count on being totally useless for one day every 2 months. :)10:30
\shKamion: well, when I have a schedule I can try to attend, if not, I can't 10:31
suraklamont: that's almost a booze - only missing beer10:31

dokoyes, please let's announce "major" changes for the archives before packages are uploaded ...10:56
opimdz: it's not quite related to the TC, but I have a question about MOTU-ML10:56
JaneWmdz: ok I'll include in the summary, AND it can be a separte announcement as well. Anyone want to do the separte one, or shall I?10:56
ograopi, there is none yet10:56
opimdz: will all MOTU subsection (MOTU-Games) have separated ML10:56
ograopi, and we are not enough motus yet to have a MOTU ml10:57
opiogra: I know, I'm watchin http://lists.ubuntu.com on daily bassis10:57
mdzKeybuk: right, "Appointments to the board are made by Mark Shuttleworth subject to confirmation by a vote amongst the maintainers."10:57
dholbachopi: the consensus, unfortunately, is there will be no motu mailing lists yet10:57
opiOK, noted10:57
ograopi, if we are more then 50 we can probably think about it10:57
mdzKeybuk: so let's take that elsewhere, since he's not here10:57
dokowe need to have a bit more organization on on major changes in the archives, although more than one change in parallel is probably not avoidable10:57
mdzdoko: are you referring to xorg vs. g++-4.0?10:57
opiI need to get membership, and then I'll find someone who will help me improve my package-foo, that would be 50-1 :)10:58
ogradoko, have a proposal ? 10:58
dokomdz: yes, and dpkg10:58
dholbachopi: join #ubuntu-motu - we'll help you get there :-)10:58
opidholbach: after I'll attend CC :)10:58
dokothe proposal is simple: announce, what you plan, avoid doing things in parallel10:58
KamionFWIW I don't think we could have done either xorg or g++-4.0 significantly later; they were both "early breakage" items, and both took (are taking) a significant amount of time10:59
seb128what the issue with // changeS?10:59
seb128changes even10:59
seb128the sooner the better for such changes10:59
seb128and that doesn't make a big difference10:59
Keybukthis basically comes to "have a spec before major changes" ?10:59
ograwhich we already have ....11:00
dokoKeybuk: it may be informal, but people should know about it. Looking at all our specs, they are not very detailed11:00
mdzdoko: what were the problems which were caused by it?11:00
mdzwe fully intended to break major things at the same time during this cycle11:01
mdzperhaps there are other ways to address the problems, rather than breaking only one thing at a time11:01
dokomdz: the ABI transtionplan was to avoid a freeze, so we decided to finish the libs first11:02
mdzwe have a limited amount of time available to break things before we must start stabilization11:02

Keybukso at least you're in good company11:03
dokomdz: please scroll back: announce major changes, before you upload11:03
ogradoko, isnt it to late anyway ? we are in the middle of the transition now....11:03
mdzdoko: how far in advance?11:03
mdzogra: yes, but we can discuss what to do in the future11:04
ograok11:04
dokomajor changes are planned for a longer time, so one 3 or 4 work days should be fine.11:04
JaneWmdz: I just became aware of the HoaryRelease schedule page on the main wiki today, we can make a similar one for Breezy addressing many of these questions and dates.11:04
dokoleaving room for coordination between us11:05
mdzJaneW: I created one just before the meeting ;-)11:05
lamontthere are advantages to breaking only one thing at a time... as it sits, most of the failures are obviously one of the 3 reasons, but some of them are less obvious'11:05
mdzlamont: but we can't do 3 2-week transitions serially; we lose too much time11:05
mdzI see no problem with requiring advance notice11:05
mdzso that at least everyone is aware that there could be multiple reasons for the breakage11:05
Keybukyeah, an advance e-mail to u-d would at least give people a heads-up that apt might not be their friend this week11:06
lamontmdz: true.  the fact that most of the failures are obvious which camp they belong to just means that we are "working in a target rich environment"11:06
dholbachKeybuk: and it will be easier for MOTU to set up transition lists11:07
mdzI would prefer to fix a number of days rather than deal in "working days"11:07
ogradholbach, i thought we go to RT, then it'll be easy anyway11:07
JaneWmdz: you are good!11:07
mdzso something like 4 days advance notice11:07
dokomdz: we do have a nice section in our spec template "packages affected", this section should be detailed in the announcement11:07
mdzJaneW: I have a time travel device11:07
dholbachogra: that's one of the point i missed quite often: a new upload of a library and the MOTU have to figure out themselves what's to fix11:07
dokomdz: yes, that looks fine11:07
ogradholbach, ah, yes, thats true11:08
mdzunfortunately, I don't think we have a place to document such conventions11:08
mdzdo we/11:08
mdz?11:08
dholbachogra: like X, like ogg/flac stuff, like ...11:08
ograyep11:08
dokomdz: I'll write a wiki page11:08
mdzdoko: ok, I think we have an index of maintainer documentation somewhere11:09
mdzdoko: so maybe link to a HandlingTransitions or such11:09
mdzthere is certainly more that we can say about transitions there as well11:09
dokook11:09
mdzany other business before we close?  we're over time11:09
ograyeah, please no more transitions with wiki lists....the editing takes me more time then the package fix11:09

opidieman: I can not compete there, not more than 10 ;)11:39
opidieman: you can try to move them to the Hoary11:40
Seveasdieman, i need to do ~3511:40
Seveasbut they want red hat on them11:40
JohnDongopi: not good idea11:40
Seveasi'm gonna push ubuntu until they either snap or fire me :)11:40
JohnDongI've tried11:40
opiJohnDong: unless it's an oldie11:40
opiJohnDong: the SID should move without much problems :-)11:40
JohnDongWoody to Warty was pretty awful11:40
JohnDongand Sid to Hoary DEFINITELY won't work11:40
diemanopi: i've got about 14 warty machines im going to be upgrading to hoary11:40
diemanopi: been doing them 'by hand' to ensure X works.11:41
JohnDongSid is much newer than Hoary11:41
JohnDongthat's why I can still get backports from Sid ;)11:41
JohnDongminus the GCC 411:41
Seveasyeah, glibc hell :)11:41
opiJohnDong: right, I've been reading about such move before Hoary was frozen11:41
Seveaseven sarge->hoary is hard11:41
jbaileySeveas: Hmm?11:41
\shdieman: which debian u r running on the servers?11:41
JohnDongBEFORE hoary was frozen11:41
JohnDongnow Hoary IS frozen11:41
JohnDonglol11:41
dieman\sh: servers aren't debian for the most part, they are solaris.11:41
Seveasjbailey, when trying to move from sid to hoary you encounter some glibc 'problems'11:42
dieman\sh: these are mostly desktops and cluster machines.11:42
kassetraI do have to say that upgrading from Warty to Hoary was painful, but not nearly as painful as any other upgrade I've ever done.11:42
jbaileySeveas: Eh, really?  Sid to hoary ought to be fine.11:42
dieman\sh: the 260 debian boxes are woody + lots of local crap and backports11:42
jbaileyOh wait.11:42
dieman\sh: and local kernels, and etc.11:42
Seveassid has a newer glibc..11:42
dieman\sh: its very painful.11:42
jbaileySeveas: Right, but I think it downgrades safely.11:42
Kamiondowngrades are generally painful11:42
jbaileyYou can't move from the experimental glibc to Hoary.11:42
diemanheh11:42
Seveasjbailey, i would be surprised :)11:42
opiwhatever you do, redoing 260 will be painful whatever you do11:43
dholbach b a c k p o r t s *SHUDDER*11:43
opis/what...//11:43
diemanopi: i've got help :)11:43
Kamionyou can do woody->warty->hoary (tediously), and you'll be able to do sarge->breezy11:43
Seveasopi++11:43
jbaileyYou can move from experimental glibc to sid glibc to hoary, I think, though.  I didn't include the downgrade magic in Hoary.11:43
diemanopi: plus 109 of them are in labs, i can do those in about a day11:43
diemanopi: using fai. :)11:43
kassetrabackports are good!  :)11:43
\shdieman: ah...yeah i can imagine...quite the same situation we had at lycos with out debian servers11:43
mdkei'm with dholbach 11:43
diemankassetra: heh, they are good when someone is managing a backport and has time.11:43
=== ajmitch successfully did sid->breezy before the g++ & X move :)
kassetraand that's jdong for me, at least.  :)11:44
diemankassetra: its bad when you start piling them up locally and have to deal with security updates :)11:44
dholbachkassetra: most of the people, i helped to upgrade, who had severely fucked up systems, used backports which broke their upgrade paths :-/11:44
dieman\sh: heh11:44
=== uniq [charlie@gw.ipv6.lnix.net] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
dieman\sh: i've got a few headless machines running ubuntu anyhow.11:44
opidholbach: you should see my old Debian box11:44
dieman\sh: this colo box runs sarge, tho.11:44
opidholbach: backports are at least in .deb form11:44
mdkealso its important that people realise that backports will inevitably not be as stable as the tested ubuntu packages11:44
kassetrawell, on my system, all of the backports upgraded flawlessly, it was xserver->xorg and nvidia upgrades that botched it.11:44
opidholbach: while my box was partly-this-partly-that-partly-from-sources11:45
dholbachopi: .deb can be EVERYTHING11:45
diemandholbach: like some of the experimental xf86 4.3 woody backports :)11:45
kassetrathe only backports I use are the ones that jdong builds, actually...11:45
Kamionwhich are about 50 times harder to get right than the average backport to start with. :)11:45
\shdieman: u have cfengine running, too?11:45
Kamion(xorg and nvidia that is)11:45
dieman\sh: yeah11:45
dholbachOUCH11:45
opidholbach: sure, but at least you have some tools to deal with it :-)11:45
dieman\sh: i've actually promised to put some cfengine examples on the web11:45
\shdieman: thats much nicer in a DC env11:45
dieman\sh: i need to do that soon.11:45
Seveastools can't beat bad packager11:45
Seveass11:45
opidholbach: it died before Sarge get in, so I'm not crying :P11:45
dholbachpeople should try get involved in the development cycle and do some GOOD work in something that is to be released11:46
dieman\sh: i've essentially got a unified cfengine config i've used from the old progeny stuff, to woody, to ubuntu hoary and warty11:46
opidholbach: actually, it died year ago.. man, there's still no Sarge ;}11:46
dieman\sh: the ability for cfengine to class things based on shell scripts is nice11:46
dholbachand backports for a half-a-year...11:46
