| Kyral | Yanno, the more I read about Python and examine it, the more I like it | 01:55 |
| crimsun | Python is neat. | 01:58 |
| Kyral | Then I should learn PyGTK | 01:58 |
| womble | Kyral: I highly recommend it. Pretty neat way to build a GUI app. | 02:02 |
| Kyral | indeed | 02:03 |
| womble | Orders of magnitude easier than trying to do it in C | 02:04 |
| Kyral | I haven't tried | 02:05 |
| Kyral | but going through POinters in class made me HATE C | 02:06 |
| crimsun | for great headaches, use wxpython | 02:06 |
| Kyral | lol | 02:06 |
| ajmitch | oh yes | 02:07 |
| Kyral | but first I master Python | 02:07 |
| === ajmitch did a project with wxpython | ||
| womble | wxpython gave me the Fear | 02:10 |
| womble | I've never used it myself, but PyGlade seems like a good way to get a GUI app happening quickly | 02:11 |
| ajmitch | I really don't like RC bugs where I don't know what is breaking, and upstream gets confused as well | 02:11 |

| raphink | Kyral: ? | 03:24 |
| Kyral | < CentHOGG> I heard ubuntu bought debian the other day | 03:24 |
| raphink | haha | 03:24 |
| raphink | and Google bought Microsoft, too ? | 03:24 |
| raphink | ;) | 03:24 |
| tseng | it was on everyone love lugradio | 03:24 |
| raphink | oh no | 03:25 |
| Kyral | Actually....that would be good wasn't it... | 03:25 |
| tseng | or was it everone loves eric raymond | 03:25 |
| raphink | that must have been that Microsoft gave up the Windows code to Google ;) | 03:25 |
| raphink | for free ;) | 03:25 |
| raphink | ;) | 03:25 |
| Kyral | yah right | 03:25 |

| ajmitch | afternoon tseng | 03:27 |
| raphink | lol | 03:27 |
| raphink | hi ajmitch | 03:27 |
| tseng | hi ajmitch | 03:27 |
| ajmitch | I think I need to get some conflicts removed from mono-mcs | 03:27 |
| ajmitch | since it's been unnecessary for a year or so | 03:27 |
| tseng | pnet? | 03:28 |
| ajmitch | yeah | 03:28 |
| ajmitch | I got some weird urge to fix some RC bugs in debian & update it to the latest upstream | 03:28 |
| ajmitch | the f-spot one still bugs me | 03:29 |
| === gborzi [n=gborzi@host218-115.pool8249.interbusiness.it] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| gborzi | hello all, is there anyone ? | 03:36 |
| raphink | gborzi: hello | 03:36 |
| gborzi | I'm a new kubuntu user (1 month), but an old linux one, since 1995. I have made some packages I would like to share. | 03:39 |
| raphink | sure | 03:39 |
| raphink | did you make sure they don't exist in ubuntu or debian yet? | 03:39 |
| raphink | taht's the first thing to check gborzi | 03:40 |
| gborzi | Some of the packages are not yet in ubuntu, other are based on new version of the upstream software. how should I made the packages available ? I' reading the ubuntu wiki on how to become a member/manteiner/developer, but I'm confused. | 03:41 |
| gborzi | Sorry, I made a too long message. | 03:41 |
| raphink | did you read about REVU yet gborzi ? | 03:41 |
| raphink | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/REVU | 03:42 |
| gborzi | I'm reading, but the process is not yet clear. | 03:42 |
| raphink | revu is the web based system for new universe packages to be included in Ubuntu | 03:42 |
| raphink | if you want to add your package to Ubuntu, after checking it is not yet available in either Ubuntu (dapper, not breezy) or Debian unstable, you can get added to the REVU keyring and start uploading your packages to REVU | 03:43 |
| raphink | they will then appear on the list on http://revu.tauware.de/ | 03:43 |
| raphink | so MOTUs (masters of the universe, the guys mastering the universe stuff in Ubuntu) will review your packages | 03:43 |
| gborzi | So I do not need to became a manteiner/member/etc ? | 03:44 |
| raphink | and as soon as you get 2 advocacies for a package, up they go ;) | 03:44 |
| raphink | nope gborzi | 03:44 |
| raphink | you don't need to be a member to submit packages | 03:44 |
| raphink | just have a pgp key | 03:44 |
| raphink | and have it added to the REVU keyring | 03:44 |
| raphink | siretart: you there? | 03:45 |
| === crimsun_ [n=crimsun@66.248.140.183] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| gborzi | Ok, I'll look the revu | 03:45 |
| raphink | crimsun_: hello | 03:45 |
| crimsun_ | raphink: hi | 03:45 |
| raphink | :) | 03:45 |
| raphink | crimsun_: gborzi would like to get new packages in Ubuntu. | 03:46 |
| raphink | are you able to deal with adding his pgp key to the keyring? | 03:46 |
| raphink | (his or her, sorry if I was wrong on this ;)) | 03:46 |
| gborzi | I'm a male. | 03:46 |
| raphink | ok | 03:46 |
| raphink | :) | 03:46 |
| raphink | you have a pgp key gborzi ? | 03:47 |
| crimsun_ | raphink: ajmitch is a REVU admin iirc | 03:47 |
| raphink | k | 03:47 |
| raphink | ajmitch was around a short time ago ;) | 03:47 |
| gborzi | Yes, I've made it today. | 03:47 |
| raphink | I think siretart and ogra are also able to add the keys, if i'm not wrong | 03:47 |
| raphink | oh, very new key then :) | 03:47 |
| raphink | did you sign your packages with it? | 03:48 |
| ajmitch | you'll need to put it on a keyserver | 03:48 |
| gborzi | only the latest packages. | 03:48 |
| gborzi | I'm very new to the use of pgp keys | 03:49 |
| ajmitch | all packages will need to be signed to be uploaded | 03:49 |
| raphink | gborzi: as ajmitch says, you need to export your key to a keyserver, e.g. mit | 03:49 |
| gborzi | how should I do ? | 03:49 |
| raphink | gpg --export-key --key-server hkp://pgpkeys.mit.edu $yourkey | 03:50 |
| raphink | if I remember well | 03:50 |
| raphink | not totally sure | 03:50 |
| raphink | check man gpg | 03:50 |
| gborzi | it says: gpg: Invalid option "--export-key" | 03:50 |
| raphink | --send-keys | 03:51 |
| raphink | that's the option | 03:51 |
| ajmitch | gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --send-keys 5921b5d8 | 03:51 |
| ajmitch | for example | 03:51 |
| raphink | :) | 03:51 |
| ajmitch | replace 5921b5d8 with your own keyid | 03:51 |
| gborzi | I used the command: gpg --send-key --keyserver hkp://pgpkeys.mit.edu | 03:52 |
| gborzi | It didn't complained | 03:52 |
| raphink | --send-keys | 03:52 |
| ajmitch | raphink: you can use either | 03:52 |
| raphink | oh ok | 03:52 |
| gborzi | What's the keyid | 03:52 |
| gborzi | ? | 03:52 |
| raphink | --send-key is not documented in gpg --help | 03:53 |
| raphink | gborzi: gpg --list-keys | 03:53 |
| raphink | since you've only got one key, it'll give it your key id | 03:53 |
| gborzi | the command says: | 03:54 |
| raphink | gborzi: since you said you're using kubuntu, kgpg can be a nice soft to use ;) | 03:54 |
| gborzi | pub 1024D/FE613ED3 2005-12-30 | 03:54 |
| gborzi | uid Giuseppe Borzi <gborzi@ieee.org> | 03:54 |
| gborzi | sub 2048g/276A70FE 2005-12-30 | 03:54 |
| raphink | FE613ED3 is your key id | 03:54 |
| raphink | ;) | 03:54 |
| gborzi | ok. And now ? should I go to http://revu.tauware.de/ | 03:55 |
| gborzi | ? | 03:55 |
| raphink | now you need to get your key added to the keyring | 03:55 |
| raphink | so you might ask ajmitch nicely to add it ;) | 03:55 |
| gborzi | how can I add the key to keyring ? | 03:56 |
| raphink | ajmitch will gborzi | 03:56 |
| raphink | you won't do it | 03:56 |
| raphink | wait till your key is on the server | 03:56 |
| ajmitch | it's not on the keyserver yet, that I can see | 03:56 |
| raphink | and then he'll addit | 03:56 |
| gborzi | ok, will I receive a notification email ? | 03:57 |
| raphink | I doubt so gborzi ;) | 03:57 |
| raphink | not from the keyserver at least | 03:57 |
| ajmitch | gborzi: the usual procedure is for you to send a signed message to keyring@tiber.tauware.de asking to be added, after your key is on the keyserver | 03:58 |
| raphink | http://www.cs.uu.nl/people/henkp/henkp/pgp/pathfinder/stats/FE613ED3.html | 03:58 |
| raphink | when this page works, your key is up ;) | 03:58 |
| ajmitch | raphink: that can take a week or two | 03:58 |
| ajmitch | it's not nearly that slow | 03:58 |
| raphink | hmm | 03:58 |
| crimsun | should only take a night or two | 03:59 |
| raphink | mhm | 03:59 |
| raphink | yeah I remember when I updated my key with my new add, it took about a week | 03:59 |
| ajmitch | gborzi: please, use gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --send-keys FE613ED3 | 03:59 |
| gborzi | Done. Maybe I'm annoyng you with my questions, but after that ? | 04:00 |
| ajmitch | send a signed email to keyring@tiber.tauware.de to ask for an upload account | 04:00 |
| ajmitch | this is a good way to keep a record of people asking, and to get your email address | 04:01 |
| raphink | gborzi: what are you using to send emails ? kmail? | 04:01 |
| gborzi | No, I use mozilla. How can I sign an email ? | 04:01 |
| ajmitch | quoting from a mail sent to someone else: | 04:01 |
| ajmitch | "An account for revu will be created on your first upload. | 04:01 |
| ajmitch | You can then retrieve your password with the lost password-feature of revu1. | 04:01 |
| raphink | gborzi: you need to set up your email client | 04:01 |
| ajmitch | Your login will be your email adress. | 04:01 |
| ajmitch | " | 04:01 |
| raphink | gborzi: search google or the wiki for mozilla configuration for pgp encryption | 04:02 |
| ajmitch | iirc, it's enigmail or something named similar | 04:03 |
| gborzi | raphink: ok, I was looking at the mozilla mail client. | 04:03 |
| raphink | mhm | 04:03 |
| ajmitch | http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ | 04:03 |
| raphink | ajmitch: yes bells a ring here ;) | 04:03 |
| raphink | although I prefer kmail :) | 04:03 |
| ajmitch | enigmail is in ubuntu | 04:04 |
| ajmitch | as mozilla-thunderbird-enigmail (if you're using thunderbird) | 04:04 |
| gborzi | I'm installing enigmail for mozilla | 04:04 |
| raphink | gborzi: | 04:06 |

| raphink | `mini' howto they say | 04:06 |
| raphink | lol | 04:06 |
| raphink | `just' 42 pages | 04:06 |
| gborzi | thanks | 04:06 |
| gborzi | or 1.5 M | 04:07 |
| raphink | you cannot possibly fail with such a tutorial ;) | 04:07 |
| gborzi | A good reading for tomorrow. It's true that one never ends to learn. | 04:08 |
| raphink | sure we learn everyday :) | 04:09 |
| raphink | (hopefully) | 04:09 |
| === raphink learned a lot of things on oobase2 today :) | ||
| gborzi | Among the packages I have made there are xcircuit and scilab. | 04:09 |
| raphink | I don't know these | 04:10 |
| gborzi | These are already in debian, but are quite old. | 04:10 |
| raphink | they are in ubuntu aswell | 04:10 |
| raphink | what versions did you package? | 04:10 |
| gborzi | Xcircuit is for drawing circuits, I use it to prepare the examinations. | 04:10 |
| gborzi | the current version is 3.4.10, but that in debian is 3.1.x, about 2 years old | 04:11 |
| raphink | what are the versions of each app that you packaged? | 04:11 |
| raphink | we have Version: 3.1.19-1ubuntu1 in dapper | 04:11 |
| gborzi | for scilab is 3.1.1, in debian is still 3.0 | 04:11 |
| raphink | Version: 3.0-12 | 04:12 |
| raphink | this is scilab version in dapper | 04:12 |
| gborzi | Why are they so old ? | 04:12 |
| raphink | which must be debian version anyway, since it's a debian versioning | 04:12 |
| raphink | gborzi: because they weren't maintained ? ;) | 04:12 |
| gborzi | maybe ! | 04:13 |
| raphink | there are about 18.000 packages in Debian | 04:13 |
| raphink | for about 1000 DDs | 04:13 |
| gborzi | DDs ? | 04:13 |
| raphink | it's hard to get all this maintained and kept up-to-date | 04:13 |
| gborzi | developers ? | 04:13 |
| raphink | DD = Debian Developer | 04:13 |
| raphink | yep | 04:13 |
| gborzi | besides these two I have also made: glest (www.glest.org) and RTS game | 04:14 |
| raphink | when you look at the ubuntu packages, you can see what packages were directly taken from Debian, and which ones were either merged from Debian (with changes) or added to Ubuntu directly | 04:14 |
| raphink | from the version number | 04:14 |
| raphink | packages numbered with -X are Debian ones | 04:14 |
| ajmitch | xcircuit isn't maintained anymore in debian, perhaps you could do that, gborzi :) | 04:15 |
| raphink | packages numbered with -XubuntuY are either merged from Debian or created in Ubuntu | 04:15 |
| raphink | X being the Debian versioning if taken from Debian (X=0 for new packages in Ubuntu | 04:15 |
| gborzi | I know the versioning system. I used XubuntuY for the packages I have made | 04:15 |
| raphink | ajmitch: did I read on motu-reviewers that someone (you?) was working on making d-mentors similar to REVU so we can upload to it and get new packages in Debian first? | 04:16 |
| ajmitch | actually xcircuit might be maintained again soon in debian, looking at the bug | 04:16 |

| gborzi | for both xcircuit and scilab I made the packages from scratch, so i used 0ubuntu1 | 04:16 |
| === raphink learned about wnpp lately, but didn't complete his bugs :s | ||
| === raphink thinks the Debian way for new packages is very complicate | ||
| raphink | gborzi: :) | 04:17 |
| ajmitch | raphink: the 'debian way'? | 04:17 |
| ajmitch | what do you mean? | 04:17 |
| gborzi | I'm here | 04:17 |
| womble | raphink: Yep, that's me. No idea whether it'll take off yet; I'm evaluating what Debian already has available ({sponsors,mentors}.debian.net) before wading in with yet another option | 04:17 |
| raphink | ajmitch: I mean filing bugs for the wnpp package and so on | 04:17 |
| ajmitch | raphink: when you have that many developers, you need some structure | 04:17 |
| raphink | womble: I take it you're a DD then ;) | 04:18 |
| womble | Indeed I am | 04:18 |
| raphink | ajmitch: sure | 04:18 |
| ajmitch | even we have developed a fair bit of structure, eg with merges | 04:18 |
| crimsun_ | gborzi: ...err, both of those packages are in Debian | 04:18 |
| raphink | ajmitch: I just think the whole thing about maintaining packages in Debian is very discouraging | 04:18 |
| raphink | to me at least | 04:18 |
| crimsun_ | gborzi: or do you mean you're co-maintaining them? | 04:18 |
| ajmitch | raphink: I disagree :) | 04:18 |
| raphink | I've been learning to package ever since april | 04:19 |
| raphink | I'm beginning to package properly (or so I believe) | 04:19 |
| raphink | and yet I need to learn more to get my packages in Debian | 04:19 |
| raphink | and deal with bug reports | 04:19 |
| raphink | and find sponsors | 04:19 |
| raphink | and so on | 04:19 |
| ajmitch | yes, that's expected | 04:19 |
| raphink | it's not the easiest way to contribute | 04:19 |
| gborzi | crimsun_: no, I have remade them, and I was proposing to upload these packages | 04:19 |
| ajmitch | debian has a reputation for quality for a reason | 04:19 |
| ajmitch | we don't want people to dump packages in & not care about bugs | 04:19 |
| womble | Oh my god, dealing with bug reports. It's criminal what they make you do in Debian. </sarcasm> | 04:20 |
| crimsun_ | gborzi: have you discussed your changes with the maintainers? | 04:20 |
| raphink | ajmitch: hmm yes but doesn't that discourage some people from contributing sometimes ? | 04:20 |
| ajmitch | womble: today is a good day, I've got 3 RC bugs that will be killed on upload :) | 04:20 |
| gborzi | crimsun_: no, I haven't. | 04:20 |
| womble | Yeeeehah! | 04:20 |
| crimsun_ | gborzi: cos using a different debian/ base == (maintenance nightmare)++ | 04:20 |
| womble | Stomp those RC bugs | 04:20 |
| ajmitch | raphink: it can, but the alternative is group maintenance, which is also happening | 04:21 |
| raphink | ajmitch: especially in ubuntu I'd say | 04:21 |
| raphink | it seems there's more group maintenance in Ubuntu than in Debian 'core' | 04:21 |
| raphink | (seems to me that is) | 04:22 |
| crimsun_ | well yes, we are a team per se. | 04:22 |
| raphink | :) | 04:22 |
| gborzi | crimsun_: I don't want to become the nightmare of anyone, only share some package | 04:22 |
| crimsun_ | this connection is driving me nuts | 04:23 |
| raphink | gborzi: and it's appreciated that you share your work :) | 04:24 |
| crimsun_ | gborzi: I think you'll find it more worthwhile to coordinate infrastructure changes with [Debian] upstream | 04:25 |
| raphink | gborzi: you might work on the package with Debian and then work on syncing/merging them in Ubuntu | 04:26 |
| gborzi | I can propose debian to use newer upstream sources | 04:26 |
| raphink | s/package/packages/ | 04:26 |
| crimsun_ | it's a real problem come MoM time | 04:27 |
| raphink | gborzi: it seems a bug was already filed for xcircuit in Debian | 04:27 |
| ajmitch | yay for segfaults | 04:27 |
| ajmitch | looks like I won't be uploading this today | 04:27 |
| raphink | lol | 04:27 |
| crimsun_ | my fav is the segfault for locate in Dapper | 04:27 |
| === raphink lost his key on this comp and has to wait to be back home to get it back :( | ||
| raphink | no signature since two days ago :( | 04:28 |
| gborzi | It's not a bug problem, it's an upgrade problem. Debian uses upstream sources 1/2 years old for scilab and xcircuit | 04:28 |
| gborzi | What's the point in debugging an old code ? | 04:28 |
| raphink | gborzi: upgrade pb deserves a bug in Debian | 04:28 |
| raphink | the bug is : version too old. needs upgrade ;) | 04:29 |
| raphink | and the debugging for this is : upgrade the package ;) | 04:29 |
| gborzi | Or a new package from scratch ? | 04:29 |

| ajmitch | raphink: see the other bug, http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=323678 | 04:31 |
| Ubugtu | Debian bug 323678: "xcircuit -- Draw circuit schematics or almost anything" Package: ITA, Maintainer: wnpp@debian.org</a http://bugs.debian.org/323678 | 04:31 |
| gborzi | 3.2.22 new ? current version is 3.4.10 | 04:31 |
| gborzi | It seems that bug wasn't fixed | 04:31 |
| raphink | gborzi: bug #262321 is more than 1 year old | 04:31 |
| Ubugtu | An error has occurred. | 04:31 |
| raphink | and indeed it wasn't fixed | 04:31 |
| raphink | Ubugtu: go to bed :p | 04:31 |
| gborzi | And if debian doesn't fix, a new package can be made in ubuntu, I hope | 04:33 |
| raphink | gborzi: the bug ajmitch quoted last says the package is orphaned - i.e. searching for a nice maintainer to adopt it | 04:33 |
| raphink | gborzi: Ubuntu is nothing without Debian | 04:33 |
| raphink | we haven't got the manpower Debian has | 04:33 |
| raphink | and most of the work in Universe is to sync/merge packages from Debian | 04:33 |
| ajmitch | and we most likely never will have the manpower that debian has, for good reasons | 04:34 |
| raphink | Ubuntu improves Debian, and Ubuntu is based on Debian | 04:34 |
| === ajmitch detests CVS, really | ||
| raphink | so the best way to get this package upgraded in Ubuntu is to get to be its maintainer in Debian | 04:34 |
| gborzi | OK, so I should propose the new package to debian | 04:34 |
| raphink | gborzi: you should upgrade the already existing package in Debian | 04:35 |
| raphink | get a sponsor for it | 04:35 |
| raphink | and when the package is upgraded in Debian | 04:35 |
| gborzi | A sponsor ? how ? | 04:35 |
| raphink | merge/sync in to Ubuntu | 04:35 |
| womble | ajmitch: More surprising is that there are some people who *don't* detest it | 04:35 |
| womble | gborzi: http://people.debian.org/~mpalmer/debian-mentors_FAQ.html | 04:35 |
| ajmitch | womble: I know, it's really quite surprising | 04:35 |
| raphink | http://sponsors.debian.net/ | 04:35 |
| ajmitch | womble: btw, are you going to be here for LCA? | 04:36 |
| raphink | gborzi: since quite a lot of Ubuntu devs are DDs, you might find a sponsor here maybe ;) | 04:36 |
| ajmitch | more the main developers, few MOTUs are also DDs | 04:37 |
| raphink | ok | 04:37 |
| gborzi | OK, but from the previous discussion it seems it is a nightmare to become a DD | 04:37 |
| ajmitch | you don't have to be a DD to contribute | 04:37 |
| raphink | gborzi: you don't need to become a DD (which is a nightmare, really) | 04:38 |
| raphink | gborzi: you just need to find a DD to sponsor your work | 04:38 |
| gborzi | OK, and after the sponsor ? | 04:38 |
| ajmitch | you go on with life, maintaining the package, asking the sponsor to upload updates, etc | 04:38 |
| raphink | when a DD sponsors your work, the package will get uploaded to Debian | 04:38 |
| raphink | when it's available you can work on syncing/merging it in Ubuntu | 04:39 |
| raphink | and having it uploaded by a MOTUs (equivalent to DDs in Ubuntu) | 04:39 |
| gborzi | OK, who wants to sponsor me ? | 04:39 |
| gborzi | for xcircuit ? | 04:39 |
| === raphink is no DD :s | ||
| gborzi | BTW, I have also packaged keytouch. I have found this program reading the ubuntu wiki, but it's not in dapper | 04:41 |
| raphink | gborzi: http://sponsors.debian.net to find sponsors | 04:41 |
| gborzi | Although it's mentioned in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accessibility/NewSoftware | 04:41 |
| ajmitch | top of that page say 'software we want to get in'.. | 04:42 |
| raphink | This page lists software we want to get into the Ubuntu distribution in terms of enhancing the Accessibility features. | 04:42 |
| raphink | we want to get into ... | 04:42 |
| raphink | gborzi: so this is a good candidate for REVU imo | 04:42 |
| raphink | a new package to be added in Ubuntu specificaly | 04:43 |
| gborzi | which is the process for keytouch ? Do I need another sponsor ? | 04:44 |
| raphink | gborzi: you better upload keytouch to REVU once you're allowed to | 04:44 |
| raphink | imo that's the best way for this one | 04:44 |
| raphink | since it's a new package | 04:45 |
| raphink | gborzi: either way, wait till your key is on the keyservers | 04:46 |
| gborzi | I'll do. Along with glest. Another package I have made is gnokii. In dapper is at 0.6.8, but current version is 0.6.10. | 04:46 |
| raphink | you won't be able to contribute to either Debian or Ubuntu before this is done | 04:46 |
| ajmitch | it's on the keyservers | 04:46 |
| raphink | ok :) | 04:46 |
| gborzi | And 0.6.8 doesn't work with my C350 | 04:46 |
| gborzi | Good night to everyone and thanks for the answers. | 04:48 |
| raphink | good night | 04:49 |
| raphink | time to sleep here too ;) | 04:49 |
| ajmitch | remember to send that email to keyring@ | 04:49 |
| womble | ajmitch: Yep, I'm going to LCA. | 04:50 |
| ajmitch | great | 04:50 |
| ajmitch | time for me to wander off | 04:51 |
| raphink|sleep | ajmitch: I'm wondering about something | 04:56 |
| raphink|sleep | if I got a package into Ubuntu with -0ubuntu1 | 04:56 |
| raphink|sleep | and then I get it in Debian as -1 | 04:56 |
| raphink|sleep | should I sync it again as -1ubuntu1 to Ubuntu ? | 04:57 |
| raphink|sleep | if it's the same upstream version? | 04:57 |
| raphink|sleep | :s | 04:57 |
| womble | raphink|sleep: I think it should be synced as -1 | 05:00 |
| raphink|sleep | so if I manage to get my package in Debian | 05:00 |
| womble | Unless it has Ubuntu-specific bits, in which case you base your new packaging off the Debian -1 and call it -1ubuntu1 | 05:00 |
| raphink|sleep | I'll have to synce them afterwards | 05:00 |
| womble | raphink|sleep: At least the first time, yes, I think | 05:00 |
| womble | But if the -0ubuntu1 and the -1 are source-identical, then there shouldn't be any problem syncing | 05:01 |
| raphink|sleep | so that proves it's better to get all new packages in Debian, no? | 05:01 |
| crimsun_ | from a Ubuntu maintainer's perspective, certainly | 05:01 |
| raphink|sleep | hmm | 05:02 |
| womble | Ayup. That way you don't have to do anything to get both Debian and Ubuntu love | 05:02 |
| raphink|sleep | so ideally, REVU shouldn't exist | 05:02 |
| womble | raphink|sleep: In a perfect world, perhaps. Not in this one, though. | 05:03 |
| raphink|sleep | haha | 05:03 |
| raphink|sleep | well I mean | 05:03 |
| raphink|sleep | packagers should be encouraged to upload new packages to Debian | 05:03 |
| === cyberix [n=cyberix@hoas-fe36dd00-251.dhcp.inet.fi] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| raphink|sleep | rather than ubuntu | 05:03 |
| raphink|sleep | trying to understand as best as possible ;) | 05:04 |
| womble | There's some transitions that Ubuntu has gone through that Debian hasn't yet, some maintainers are crap with handling their patches, and sometimes you want Ubuntu-specific branding in the package. | 05:04 |
| crimsun_ | smack. Got vlc building with firefox-dev. | 05:05 |
| raphink|sleep | hmm | 05:05 |
| raphink|sleep | I still don't get how Debian can be so slow when it's got so many DDs | 05:05 |
| cyberix | slomo_: Someone juat complained on another channel that Debian leaves IPv6-support out when they compilet GNUnet. | 05:05 |
| cyberix | slomo_: Do you know anything about this? | 05:05 |
| crimsun_ | that's part of the reason it can be slower, raphink|sleep | 05:05 |
| raphink|sleep | and Ubuntu can be ahead with less manpower (although mostly using DDs's work) | 05:05 |
| === crimsun_ goes for dinner | ||
| === raphink|sleep goes to bed | ||
| raphink|sleep | bye | 05:06 |
| cyberix | slomo_: Like, if there is a specific reason or, if it is left out just by mistake. | 05:07 |
| womble | raphink|sleep: You got it in one -- mostly using DDs work. There's also the fact that a MOTU can wade in and complete a transition with little synchronising, whereas the Maintainer God Lock (Ubuntu's term for it, not mine) means that in Debian you've got to convince a bunch of people that your solution is the right one. | 05:11 |

| ajmitch | hey Lathiat, LaserJock | 06:37 |
| LaserJock | how's it going? I haven't been on irc for over a week | 06:37 |
| ajmitch | neither have I, really | 06:38 |
| LaserJock | and my parents dialup is driving me nuts | 06:38 |
| LaserJock | 28.8 | 06:38 |
| ajmitch | heh | 06:38 |
| ajmitch | I just didn't use their computer | 06:38 |
| LaserJock | well, I am going to try to get plotdrop to use DESTDIR and see if I can get a new upload today | 06:41 |
| ajmitch | it should only take about 30 seconds :) | 06:42 |
| LaserJock | well, normally it would ;-) | 06:43 |
| ajmitch | normally? :) | 06:45 |
| LaserJock | well, with the dialup and all, it is a little slow | 06:45 |
| ajmitch | hm | 06:46 |
| ajmitch | I wonder why python-nevow binaries are 2 versions behind | 06:47 |

| rory | hey | 07:02 |
| rory | anyone here I can ask a quick question to? | 07:03 |
| Lathiat | SUre | 07:04 |
| LaserJock | there should be somebody | 07:04 |
| rory | just trying to figure out why Azurues isn't in backports or any other ubuntu repo I can find. | 07:04 |
| Lathiat | well we now have a jre in multiverse | 07:06 |
| Lathiat | so i suppose it could be possible for a package to exist | 07:06 |
| === Lathiat looks at the license | ||
| rory | plf has jre 1.5 | 07:06 |
| minghua | I think last time people tried to compile azureus with the free java stack it didn't work out | 07:06 |
| Lathiat | yeh it doesnt | 07:07 |
| Lathiat | but the sun 1.4 is in multiverse which it works with | 07:07 |
| rory | could it just be compiled against 1.5 in plf? | 07:07 |
| minghua | or maybe they tried to run the upstream jar in a free java envrironment and it didn't work out | 07:07 |
| minghua | either way azureus doesn't play well with free java | 07:08 |
| Lathiat | 14:04 < Lathiat> but the sun 1.4 is in multiverse which it works with | 07:08 |
| Lathiat | it runs on ikvm | 07:08 |
| Lathiat | but the network code doesnt work :) | 07:08 |
| rory | does azureus 2.3.0.6 needs jre 1.5? | 07:08 |
| Lathiat | so it just sits there and does nothing :) | 07:08 |
| Lathiat | rory: no | 07:08 |
| Lathiat | im running it here fine on the 'j2re1.4' package from multiverse | 07:09 |
| rory | okay, so that's good. | 07:10 |
| rory | And debian repos have a working package too, I notice. | 07:10 |
| Lathiat | working package of? | 07:10 |
| rory | azureus | 07:10 |
| minghua | I think I've run azureus 2.3.0.2 with sun jre 1.4.2 before, it complains but still work | 07:10 |
| rory | I have jre 1.5. I'm pretty sure I grabbed 2.3.0.6 from debian. | 07:12 |
| rory | http://debian.wow-vision.com.sg/debian/pool/contrib/a/azureus/ | 07:12 |
| rory | So, given this, what would need to be done to get an Ubuntu package? | 07:13 |
| Lathiat | needs to be tested | 07:13 |
| Lathiat | building from source | 07:13 |
| Lathiat | i assume that package is built from source | 07:13 |
| Lathiat | guess it may not be | 07:13 |
| rory | I think it is. See the last package listed here: http://fatboy.umng.edu.co/debian/pool/contrib/a/azureus/ | 07:14 |
| rory | what do you think? Doable? | 07:17 |
| minghua | debian's azureus seems to be built with sun jdk 1.5 | 07:20 |
| minghua | do we have that in multiverse? | 07:20 |
| LaserJock | ajmitch: can you look at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6405 and tell me what is wrong with my use of PREFIX ? | 07:28 |
| ajmitch | prefix is where files are meant to live, and changing PREFIX like that just isn't nice | 07:30 |
| ajmitch | it's 'ok', but I don't like it :) | 07:30 |
| ajmitch | especially if an install target for some reason put the value of PREFIX into some files | 07:31 |
| LaserJock | so should I replace PREFIX with DESTDIR? I am just not getting what the difference between the two would be | 07:32 |
| Kyral | LJ | 07:33 |
| ajmitch | yes, there is a difference, and it's one that doesn't matter much for this package | 07:34 |
| === robitaille [n=robitail@ubuntu/member/robitaille] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| LaserJock | hi Kyral | 07:37 |
| LaserJock | ajmitch: I am just wondering because the Makefile doesn't use DESTDIR so I would have to patch it to include it | 07:38 |
| ajmitch | you're already patching it | 07:38 |
| Kyral | LJ: Riddell uploaded EasyChem into the system, with hope it will be in Universe soon | 07:39 |
| LaserJock | yeah, but I wanted to keep the delta down | 07:39 |
| ajmitch | DESTDIR is a commonly used standard | 07:39 |
| LaserJock | ajmitch: so what was not good was changing the PREFIX within the rules file? | 07:40 |
| ajmitch | nothing 'wrong' with setting it to /usr, as that is commonly passed to configure | 07:41 |
| LaserJock | but then setting to something else later is bad form? | 07:42 |
| ajmitch | pretty much | 07:42 |
| LaserJock | ok, so would I do something like $DESTDIR $PREFIX ? | 07:43 |
| ajmitch | it could cause problems in packages if they did other things with PREFIX in the install rule | 07:43 |
| ajmitch | you'd generally only have PREFIX set once, in the makefile | 07:43 |
| ajmitch | which you'd set with your patch | 07:43 |
| ajmitch | and then make install DESTDIR=... | 07:43 |
| LaserJock | ahh, ok. The orginal makefile sets it to /usr/local/ | 07:43 |
| LaserJock | PREFIX that is | 07:44 |
| ajmitch | in the makefile you have $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX) | 07:44 |
| ajmitch | although it's often $(DESTDIR)$(bindir) ,etc | 07:44 |
| ajmitch | since files in /etc live outside the prefix | 07:44 |
| LaserJock | ok, so I want to change PREFIX to /usr and add a DESTDIR to the Makefile and then only use DESTIDIR in debian/rules, right? | 07:47 |
| ajmitch | yep | 07:47 |
| LaserJock | ok, I think I am wrapping my thick chemist brain around that one ;-) | 07:47 |
| LaserJock | ajmitch: ok, so how does http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6406 look like for the modified Makefile? | 08:04 |
| LaserJock | maybe I should put $DESTDIR in the BINDIR= and DATATDIR= instead | 08:06 |

| ajmitch | hi minghua, pef | 08:27 |
| pef | hello | 08:27 |
| minghua | hi ajmitch | 08:27 |
| Mez | morning ajmitch :D | 08:43 |
| minghua | Hi, an offtopic question here -- but I asked in #ubuntu but got no response: does anyone know how locales work in dapper? | 08:44 |
| minghua | does anyone know where the _installed_ locale data is saved? I've looked at /usr/share/locale, /usr/share/locale-langpack, /var/lib/locales, the first showes everything, the latter two only show the localed installed through language packs. | 08:45 |
| minghua | I am wondering where the locales locally installed by locale-gen is | 08:45 |
| minghua | I am having some problems with my input method, and I suspect it's locale-related | 08:45 |
| crimsun | * debian/preinst: Rescue /etc/locale.gen to | 08:45 |
| crimsun | /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local on upgrades. | 08:45 |
| crimsun | it doesn't tell you otherwise? hmm. | 08:46 |
| === Yagisan reads problems with input method and is suddenly less keen to upgrade to dapper | ||
| minghua | crimsun: my system is in a quite bizarre state now, I debootstrapped breezy and dist-upgraded to daper long before these locales packages transition thing | 08:47 |
| minghua | and I had en_US.UTF-8 (among others) in "locale -a" output | 08:47 |
| minghua | but now I don't have any language pack installed, and I have an empty /var/lib/locales/supported.d/ (i.e., not local file) | 08:48 |
| crimsun | right | 08:48 |
| crimsun | looks like that was introduced in 2.3.7-1 | 08:48 |
| crimsun | you probably want to pass a list of languages and locales to locale-gen | 08:49 |
| minghua | then I installed language-pack-en-base and langugae-pack-en, and I have a /var/lib/locales/en now, but still no /var/lib/locales/local | 08:49 |
| crimsun | judging from Martin's changelog | 08:49 |
| === markuman [n=markuman@p50924557.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||
| minghua | yet my "locale -a" shows en_US (iso-8859-1) and zh_CN.GBK, so I am wondering if they are indeed installed (they are, judging from manipulating $LANG) | 08:51 |
| minghua | therefore I'm wondering where is the correct place to check | 08:51 |
| minghua | /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local is just going to be a list anyway, it seems to me the real locale data has to be stored somewhere else | 08:52 |
| crimsun | /usr/share/locale/ , judging from the man page for localedef | 08:52 |
| minghua | crimsun: thanks for the help | 08:54 |

| siretart | Mez: where is signkey.pl? | 10:11 |
| siretart | morning | 10:11 |
| Mez | siretart: http://www.netsplit.com/software/signkey | 10:11 |
| Mez | siretart: It's just a lil patch :d but I think it's a nice complement to the script :D | 10:12 |
| Mez | hmm | 10:13 |
| Mez | maybe I should include examples? | 10:13 |
| siretart | what are the advantages over caff? | 10:14 |
| zakame | Mez: w00t | 10:14 |
| Mez | siretart: none - it's just an alternative script :D | 10:14 |
| Mez | not saying you should use the script - just that my addition is good for those who do :D | 10:14 |
| zakame | hehe | 10:19 |
| Mez | it makes the difference of having this: http://www.sourceguru.net/files/clean_signed_key.txt | 10:22 |
| Mez | instead of this: http://www.sourceguru.net/files/unclean_signed_key.txt | 10:22 |
| Mez | in your emails | 10:22 |
| Mez | thats an extra 9Kb for my key - imagine someone like lamont's | 10:24 |
| Mez | hmm | 10:40 |
| Mez | updated the patch to check for pgp-clean | 10:40 |
| Mez | anyhoo | 10:40 |

| cyberix | slomo_: Could you ask further? | 01:51 |
| cyberix | slomo_: as in ask the Debian developer | 01:51 |
| cyberix | slomo_: It can ofcourse then be disabled by default. | 01:52 |
| tseng | cyberix: you could file a bug in debian | 01:53 |
| slomo_ | cyberix: i'll write it on my todo list... i'll do it after banshee ;) | 01:53 |
| cyberix | ok | 01:53 |
| slomo_ | and i'll write elmo a mail about gnunet-gtk | 01:54 |
| cyberix | tseng: As always. Filing bugs and creating bug database accounts in billion different places is just too anoying. | 01:55 |
| slomo_ | you don't need a account there | 01:55 |
| slomo_ | just write a mail :) | 01:55 |
| tseng | cyberix: then by that token, coming onto irc and bothering slomo_ to fix your bug in someone elses package is just "too annoying" | 01:55 |
| slomo_ | cyberix: http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting | 01:56 |
| cyberix | tseng: Not coming, because I'm always on irc already. | 01:57 |
| tseng | too annoying to us, I mean | 01:57 |
| tseng | not a fact, just a comparison | 01:58 |
| cyberix | tseng: You may tell me gnunet bugs you find in change. | 01:58 |
| cyberix | tseng: As long as they are trivial | 01:58 |
| cyberix | :-) | 01:58 |
| cyberix | tseng: But I'm already bothered by this. The one told me could have filed the bug himself. | 02:00 |
| tseng | exactly | 02:01 |
| cyberix | tseng: There is certainly a reason why he didn't. It just isn't easy enought yet. | 02:01 |
| cyberix | tseng: But when the chain is getting closer to the actual developer | 02:01 |
| tseng | (he cant send an email?) | 02:01 |
| cyberix | tseng: Filing the bug gets easier. | 02:02 |
| tseng | yes, you keep passing a trivial ammount of effort up a chain | 02:02 |
| tseng | i think everyones time might have been better served teaching a man to fish | 02:02 |
| tseng | or in this case.. filing his own bug | 02:02 |
| tseng | he wouldnt be afraid of it the next time | 02:03 |
| cyberix | tseng: No, because in the end you just can't fish everything yourself. | 02:03 |
| tseng | i dont understand | 02:03 |
| tseng | if you show an end user how to file a bug, what problem remains? | 02:04 |
| cyberix | tseng: Well he could just fix the bug, because neither that is often hard to do. | 02:05 |
| tseng | im not sure we are even talking about the same thing anymore | 02:05 |
| cyberix | Maybe. | 02:05 |
| cyberix | Apple had a www bug-reporting text field IIRC | 02:06 |
| cyberix | write and click | 02:06 |
| tseng | great well, debian has a simple email interface | 02:06 |
| cyberix | Thats easy I think | 02:06 |
| tseng | it takes about 2 minutes of reading to understand | 02:06 |
| cyberix | Yes, if you care to do so | 02:07 |
| tseng | if you dont care to do so | 02:07 |
| tseng | i fail to understand why anyone else should care to help you | 02:07 |
| cyberix | With the Apple system you didn't have to | 02:07 |

| Treenaks | (yes I know what 'crux' means :)) | 02:08 |
| cyberix | tseng: Well, I believe software creators want feed back. | 02:08 |
| cyberix | tseng: Also from the average user who is too lazy to learn how to file bugs. | 02:09 |
| tseng | if you are too lazy to file a bug, you are surely too lazy to come up with a gdb backtrace | 02:10 |
| tseng | among other things | 02:10 |
| tseng | but im pretty tired of arguing now | 02:11 |
| cyberix | tseng: Yes, but these are different people | 02:11 |

| thesaltydog | slomo_, I was looking into lauchpad-integration package | 02:36 |
| thesaltydog | and I may have some questions. | 02:37 |
| thesaltydog | as I am upstreaming my packages in debian pool, maybe it is needed some ubuntu-patch for launchpad integration.. | 02:38 |
| Yagisan | minghua: yep - I miss some of the automatic package dependencies it can bring up amongst other useful package details eg cfg files | 02:38 |
| minghua | Yagisan: yeah, and system info - I really hate to ask bug reporter "what release are you using, breezy or dapper?" | 02:41 |
| === sevrin [n=sevrin@202.75.186.154] has joined #ubuntu-motu | ||

| Yagisan | minghua: I need to rip 66% of the functionality out for it to get in | 03:00 |
| Yagisan | minghua: so I'm waiting for the next upstream release to see if it is fixed yet | 03:01 |
| minghua | Yagisan: I am jealous that you get bugs reported by reportbug for unofficial packages | 03:01 |
| minghua | Yagisan: I can't even get my bug reporters to use reportbug for my official packages :-) | 03:02 |
| minghua | (or any bug reports in BTS at all for that matter) | 03:02 |
| minghua | Yagisan: what is the issue? shared library with no API/ABI stability (I vaguely remember you do some video related stuff)? | 03:04 |
| Yagisan | minghua: I have to patiently train them to use it - but as it is a popular, but niche game, (and I'm the only person to package it and almost all data packs for it), they end up doing it | 03:04 |
| Yagisan | minghua: the is, in a nutshell is - not dfsg compliant | 03:05 |
| minghua | ah licensing issue, that's harder to solve, I suppose | 03:06 |
| Yagisan | minghua: I have an interest in amd64, thin clients, security, multimedia, multilingual support, and the odd game - so that's where I concentrate on in ubuntu | 03:06 |
| minghua | my official package is actually in a niche market too | 03:06 |
| minghua | not that a lot of people need input methods | 03:07 |
| Yagisan | minghua: yep. I can a) delete the code, b) wait for upstream to replace the code, or c) do it myself | 03:07 |
| Yagisan | minghua: it's b) until there is no hope, then it will be a) | 03:07 |

| Yagisan | minghua: yep I have uim-anthy atm. It has it's own set of unique bugs :( I for one, look forward to your scim-anthy in dapper | 03:43 |

| minghua | Yagisan: I see. UIM is a nice piece of software as well (and I plan to try it one day, for the possibility to input without X) | 03:45 |
| sistpoty | gborzi: just apt-get install dput | 03:45 |

| minghua | Yagisan: and since you are talking about uim bugs, I assume you are aware of malone #5148 :-) | 03:47 |
| sistpoty | gborzi: if you are on dapper, /etc/dput.cf should already contain an entry for revu, so you can do "dput revu changesfile.changes" | 03:47 |

| siretart | sistpoty: did you just add Giuseppe's key? ;) | 03:54 |
| sistpoty | siretart: yes, I did | 03:55 |
| sistpoty | hi siretart | 03:55 |
| siretart | okay. I was about to answer him | 03:55 |
| siretart | huhu sistpoty | 03:55 |
| sistpoty | new clanlib should pop up on revu soon :) | 03:55 |
| sistpoty | btw.: siretart: can you review a package for me? I put an updated version of min12xxw to revu, since it silently moved to main | 03:56 |
| siretart | wuz? | 03:57 |
| siretart | ok, will look at it | 03:57 |
| sistpoty | cool, thx... I only noted it being in main by katies response *g* | 03:58 |

| siretart | sistpoty: uploaded | 04:31 |
| sistpoty | siretart: cool, thx | 04:31 |
| siretart | sistpoty: do you have that package in some kind of VCS? svn perhaps? | 04:32 |
| siretart | sistpoty: I think your package is a perfect candidate for a common MOTU svn ;) | 04:32 |
| sistpoty | siretart: no, but I wouldn't object to put it into svn | 04:32 |
| sistpoty | :) | 04:32 |
| siretart | sistpoty: Perhaps we should introduce on in /srv/svn/motu-packages on tiber, (see my email). but I won't get to it before 10th of january (I'm a week away) | 04:33 |
| siretart | I think that is enough time for discussion on our mailing list | 04:33 |
| sistpoty | siretart: great idea :) | 04:34 |
| sistpoty | siretart: bad thing is, that I'm quite busy as well, and haven't got experience with svn-buildpackage yet, so I don't think I will be able to do it earlier | 04:34 |
| siretart | sistpoty: ok. then lets wait for further discussion | 04:35 |
| sistpoty | ok | 04:35 |
| siretart | sistpoty: what concerns me most is how to handle authentication | 04:35 |
| siretart | one possibility would be to handle that manually via htaccess. better would be some kind of password changing daemon which verifies gpg keys | 04:36 |
| siretart | well, I'll think next week about that | 04:36 |
| sistpoty | siretart: sounds promising... but maybe we can start with htaccess and move to some automated procedure later? | 04:36 |
| sistpoty | siretart: maybe this will be a good package for collaboration with debian as well... | 04:38 |

| marcin` | hi guys - happy new 2006 to all :) | 06:01 |
| marcin` | and... because we got a little time to 2006 - then question | 06:01 |
| marcin` | is there some problem with kernel packages for dapper? | 06:01 |
| marcin` | I would like to install linux-restricted-modules-k7 | 06:02 |
| marcin` | but it isn't installable because there is no 2.6.15-10-k7 | 06:03 |
| \sh | marcin`: it's missing...like all every single time a new kernel reaches dapper :) let's stablize first the kernel and then benc will take care about the restricted stuff | 06:04 |
| Kyral | I need to learn how to use screen | 06:05 |
| LaserJock | Kyral: what's wrong | 06:05 |
| Kyral | I dunno how to use it lol | 06:05 |
| LaserJock | Kyral: thanks for getting EasyChemi in by the way | 06:05 |
| Kyral | LaserJock: np | 06:06 |
| LaserJock | Kyral: what are you trying to do with screen? | 06:06 |
| Kyral | LaserJock: I can't wait for it to hit Universe :D | 06:06 |
| Kyral | LaserJock: the standard Irssi thing | 06:06 |
| marcin` | \sh: ok - thanks for info | 06:06 |
| Kyral | so if I SSH in and don't have to kill Irssi | 06:06 |
| LaserJock | Kyral: but that is it? That is what I'm doing now ;-) | 06:07 |
| Kyral | I'm actually working with another package now | 06:07 |
| marcin` | \sh: unfortunately I cannot use kernel without restricted modules cause my keyboard doesn't work ;> | 06:07 |
| Kyral | yamysqlfront | 06:07 |
| \sh | marcin`: hum? | 06:07 |
| \sh | marcin`: what's wrong with your keyboard? | 06:07 |
| Kyral | Kassetra pointed it out and upstream REALLY is excited about | 06:07 |
| Kyral | LaserJock: then maybe you could give me a few commands? | 06:07 |
| marcin` | it's usb keyboard... and don't know why it didn't work with kernel without restricted-modules | 06:08 |
| \sh | marcin`: that can | 06:08 |
| LaserJock | Kyral: I just do screen and then I do irssi -c freenode | 06:08 |
| Kyral | LaserJock: I know I start irssi with screen irssi | 06:08 |
| \sh | 't be..because the usb modules are not in restricted | 06:08 |
| Kyral | LaserJock: I have it in my config ;P | 06:08 |
| Kyral | LaserJock: how do I "detach" the screen | 06:08 |
| \sh | marcin`: did you enable the legacy usb support in your bios? | 06:08 |
| LaserJock | Kyral: then when you want to detach you do Ctrl-A d | 06:08 |
| Kyral | like when I'm done with an SSH session | 06:08 |
| Kyral | and how do I reattach it elsewhere? | 06:09 |
| LaserJock | you can either do screen -list to see all the screen sessions or if you only have one you can do screen -R | 06:09 |
| \sh | screen -D -r | 06:09 |
| marcin` | \sh: well yes because I'm using this keyboard now | 06:09 |
| Kyral | LaserJock: hmm | 06:09 |
| \sh | marcin`: strange...did you file a bug about your keyboard and the kernel stuff | 06:10 |
| \sh | ? | 06:10 |
| Kyral | so to start Irssi I would do screen irssi | 06:10 |
| Kyral | then to detach (and leave it running) I would CTRL-A d | 06:10 |
| marcin` | \sh: hehe not yet :) | 06:11 |
| Kyral | then to reattach I would screen -D -r | 06:11 |
| marcin` | \sh: I couldn't because my keyboard didn't work :) | 06:11 |
| \sh | marcin`: do it :) and give a very detailed info about your keyboard :) | 06:11 |
| LaserJock | Kyral: yeah, that should do it | 06:11 |
| marcin` | \sh: anyway I think that currently there is a big mess with kernel packages in dapper | 06:11 |
| Kyral | what if I have multiple thigns | 06:12 |
| marcin` | \sh: I think I will just wait for a while... and propably they will be ok soon | 06:12 |
| Kyral | Here goes nothing | 06:12 |
| \sh | uploading njam 1.25 :) | 06:12 |
| \sh | marcin`: well it | 06:12 |
| \sh | 's development | 06:12 |

| Kyral | now... | 06:13 |
| Kyral | CTRL-A d? | 06:13 |
| marcin` | \sh: anyway for example I cannot install linux-image-k7 package (broken dependency) | 06:13 |
| marcin` | \sh: anyway I'll just wait few days | 06:14 |
| Kyral | whoa... | 06:14 |
| Kyral | thats COOL | 06:15 |
| \sh | marcin`: sure :) | 06:15 |
| Kyral | lemme try something | 06:15 |
| LaserJock | Kyral: yeah it is | 06:15 |
| Kyral | I'm on a FreeNX session right now | 06:15 |
| Kyral | lemme detach, logout of the FreeNX, log back in, and try to reattach | 06:15 |
| Kyral | whoa.... | 06:17 |
| Kyral | this is AWEOMSE | 06:17 |
| LaserJock | lol | 06:17 |
| Kyral | now what if I have multiple screens | 06:17 |
| Kyral | ie, I'm running Irssi and BitTorndo | 06:18 |

| FireRabbit | Kyral, i don't see how that would work, what are you trying to acomplish? | 09:33 |
| Kyral | Mass deployment | 09:36 |
| Kyral | the package contains all the packages you need to deploy. That way you aren't dependent on the Internet | 09:36 |
| FireRabbit | well, what is the difference between distributing one deb file vs. distributing one tarball of lots of deb files? untaring wont take much time | 09:37 |
| === Kyral shrugs | ||
| FireRabbit | if you are deploying across a LAN you can set up an APT server which makes it very easy | 09:37 |
| Kyral | because I need to apply customizations | 09:38 |
| Kyral | I'm just throwing ideas around in my head | 09:38 |
| FireRabbit | well, what sort of environment will you be deploying in? | 09:39 |
| Kyral | Linux Lab | 09:39 |
| FireRabbit | i would highly recomend setting up an internal apt server | 09:39 |
| Kyral | yah | 09:39 |
| Kyral | and use a Metapack... | 09:39 |
| FireRabbit | create a metapa..yeah | 09:39 |
| Kyral | or even a shell script | 09:39 |
| Kyral | but how would I automate the install.... | 09:40 |
| FireRabbit | metapackages are good because if you add a new dependency everyone will automatically get it | 09:40 |
| Kyral | I need to be able to fire off one command and have it completely install the system.... | 09:40 |
| FireRabbit | you could put an SSH key on every computer in the lab and write a little shell script that executes a command on every computer from yours | 09:40 |
| FireRabbit | install the whole operating system, or just your additional packages? | 09:40 |
| Kyral | the OS | 09:41 |
| FireRabbit | ah, you can use PXE for this | 09:41 |
| Kyral | PXE? | 09:41 |
| FireRabbit | remote booting | 09:41 |
| === Kyral blinks | ||
| Kyral | how would that help in setting up the OS | 09:41 |
| Kyral | they won't be netbookting | 09:41 |
| Kyral | netbooting even | 09:41 |
| FireRabbit | pxe is part of the bios | 09:41 |
| FireRabbit | you dont have to have anything on the drive | 09:42 |
| Kyral | Yah i know... | 09:42 |
| Kyral | but how would it help me install the OS with one command? | 09:42 |
| FireRabbit | it would be zero commands :) | 09:42 |
| === Kyral blinks | ||
| FireRabbit | client would boot installer over the network and install | 09:42 |
| Kyral | I don't want to setup the computers to Netboot | 09:42 |
| FireRabbit | why not? ;) | 09:42 |
| Kyral | Because I'm not allowed | 09:43 |
| Kyral | I'm a Sopomore, I'm doing this by the terms dictated by the lab head | 09:43 |
| FireRabbit | alright.. well you could replace the pxe with a boot cd/floppy that did the same thing | 09:43 |
| Kyral | hmm | 09:43 |
| Kyral | could I store the filesystem on the server... | 09:44 |
| FireRabbit | yes, instead of booting an installer you could boot the entire system over the network | 09:44 |
| Kyral | and use a LiveCD to automatically partition, download, and copy the filesystem... | 09:44 |
| FireRabbit | oh, well, you could also just image the drive.. | 09:44 |
| Kyral | yah...the base Ubuntu install... | 09:45 |
| Kyral | hmmm | 09:45 |
| FireRabbit | using "dd" or something similar | 09:45 |
| Kyral | tar has provisions for preserving ownership and permisions right,.,, | 09:45 |
| FireRabbit | yes | 09:45 |
| FireRabbit | but you cant write grub to the mbr with tar ;) | 09:45 |
| Kyral | install grub | 09:46 |

| Kyral | call it from the Live environment | 09:46 |
| FireRabbit | right, but i meant that if you used imaging software it could do it all at once | 09:46 |
| Kyral | yah, well, *shrugs* | 09:46 |
| FireRabbit | are you going to be doing this to every computer in the lab? | 09:47 |
| Kyral | Bingo | 09:47 |
| Kyral | I thought the OEM Installer was in the works... | 09:47 |
| FireRabbit | so why are they opposed to PXE? | 09:47 |
| Kyral | Dunno | 09:47 |
| Kyral | I never brought it up | 09:47 |
| FireRabbit | ... | 09:47 |
| FireRabbit | well, you should ask :) | 09:47 |
| Kyral | I don't think we have a machine equipped for it | 09:47 |
| Kyral | I'm on semester break ;P | 09:48 |
| FireRabbit | you can use any linux machine | 09:48 |
| Kyral | What about the Debian Preseed? | 09:48 |
| FireRabbit | you just need to modify one setting in the DHCP server | 09:48 |
| Kyral | or Kickstart... | 09:48 |
| FireRabbit | well, you would probably use something like that in conjunction with PXE or whatever | 09:48 |
| Kyral | this looks interesting | 09:49 |
| Kyral | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KickstartCompatibility?highlight=%28Kickstart%29 | 09:49 |
| Kyral | hmm....LVM could be a problem... | 09:50 |
