Adri2000the debuild test of revu-report doesn't list the binary files?12:11
imbrandonthink about it like this, if it was signed with his key , why couldent he just upload it :)12:11

pygiI don't have the powers ^_^12:12

crimsunman, this report in #ubuntu just makes me have even warmer and fuzzier feelings for checkinstall12:13
pygivil, poke12:13
crimsun(checkinstalled alsa-driver, which of course blows away linux-sound-base and alsa-base's configuration)12:14
minghuapygi: uploaded (with .dsc signed by you)12:14
minghuato everyone helped: thanks.  I know I can sign the .dsc myself, I wanted to play with this a little :-)12:15
pygiminghua, thanks12:15
imbrandonminghua: right but the archive will reject it, check your email12:15
imbrandonotherwise he could have just uploaded it12:15
crimsunI'm not even sure it will be a reject, tbh, though I don't know how closely katie resembles soyuz these days12:16

pygiminghua, seems like you have to sign and reupload ^)^12:18
Fujitsuimbrandon: It should just silently die.12:18

Fujitsuminghua: sys.path.append().l12:22
Fujitsu-l12:22
minghuaoh12:22
minghuaFujitsu: I always use that, I know it's quite hackish12:22
FujitsuThat's what I thought.12:23
FujitsuIt works, but is hackish.12:23
minghuaFujitsu: I don't know any others though.  You see, I am just a beginner in python12:23

LaserJockFujitsu: I wanted to ask you about gnucash12:24
FujitsuLaserJock: Go ahead, although I know little/nothing about it...12:24
LaserJockFujitsu: I see in the changelog you did a libgoffice-1-2 -> libgoffice-0-312:25
FujitsuOr did I merge it at some point?12:25
FujitsuAh.12:25
LaserJockFujitsu: have you tracked that at all?12:25
LaserJockI'm guessing no12:25
FujitsuNot at all.12:25
LaserJockI'm looking up apps that dep on libgoffice12:26
LaserJockand seeing how the transition went12:26
FujitsuAh.12:26
FujitsuWell, it doesn't seem to have exploded stuff.12:26
LaserJockit looks like gnumeric, gnucash, and gchemutils are the 3 packages that dep on it12:27
LaserJockI think I'm going to just see if I can get gchemutils to work with it12:28
FujitsuYeah...12:28
LaserJockdang, etch has no unmet deps :/12:30
FujitsuNone at all ?12:31
=== Burgundavia [n=corey@S0106000fb085cc63.gv.shawcable.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu
LaserJockif you take out suggests and recommends (i.e. apt-cache -i unmet as ajmitch told me)12:32
LaserJockhow did they do that12:32
FujitsuMagic!12:32
LaserJockunstable has more unmet then edgy12:32
Fujitsu(where magic is achieved by removing all the packages with unmetdeps)12:32
LaserJockreally?12:33
FujitsuYes.12:33
LaserJockah12:33
FujitsuIf you look at the logs for packages which we have with unmet deps, it'll say they're removed from testing.12:33
LaserJockthat's right, they do that kind of thing12:33
LaserJockiiiinnnteresting12:33
FujitsuWhat?12:33
LaserJockI hadn't thought of that way of "handling" problems like that12:34
FujitsuI think it's not a bad idea...12:34
FujitsuI also think that I need to find an archive admin.12:34
FujitsuI've had a gcl upload sitting in dapper-proposed since half-way through UDS... :/12:35
FujitsuOops, dapper-proposed's unapproved queue.12:35
LaserJockoh dang, that's right12:35
LaserJockwe were wondering what happened to that SRU12:35
crimsunFujitsu: I'm going to wait another week before I ping 'em12:35
FujitsuI haven't seen an archive admins since I uploaded it, so it's still unapproved :/12:35
crimsunit seems to have been a really hectic two weeks12:36
LaserJockthis is ridiculous12:36
FujitsuWhere hectic == no archive admins around.12:36
FujitsuLaserJock: It's only been two months since I isolated the patch!12:36
LaserJock2 months!12:36
crimsunhopefully they've not been eaten by grues.12:36
secretlondoni presume its the summit followed the canonical meeting12:37
crimsunindeed12:37
Fujitsusecretlondon: Yes, which was a really silly idea.12:37
FujitsuBecause it means we have no important people for two weeks.12:37
LaserJockwell, silly on or end ;-)12:37
secretlondonFujitsu: well I presume it was cheaper as they were already in california12:37
Fujitsusecretlondon: True.12:37
LaserJockwell, considering that maxima has be broken for 6 months+ in Dapper I guess people won't mind another week or two12:38
=== secretlondon wonders if cinepaint will ever end up in edgy
LaserJockbut I'm guessing we lost some scientific users over it which is sad12:39
secretlondonLaserJock: they may still be using Breezy12:40
LaserJockmaybe12:41
LaserJockI know they made a wiki page on how to build maxima from source12:41
secretlondonit still doesn't look very good though12:41
LaserJockso at least some were willing to stick with us12:41
=== Fujitsu did consider putting some binary .debs up somewhere for easy download... But by that time it looked like it would be in -updates within a few days. That never eventuated, of course.
Simon80what's cinepaint?12:42
secretlondoncinepaint = film gimp as was12:42
secretlondon32 bit paint program developed by film studios12:43
FujitsuIt's all been very good timing, I think. We have the SRU policy ratified, and the following two weeks have nobody to actually let them into -proposed.12:43
FujitsuI bet this change will get rejected by whoever I ask to approve it, too.12:45
LaserJockyeah know, it wouldn't be so bad if they had told us beforehand that the archive admins would be out12:45
crimsunsecretlondon: yes, it's being worked on by #ubuntustudio12:46
secretlondonwell they should have a backup plan so everything doesn't just stop12:46

secretlondonpuc says it should be ok01:35
Fujitsuxbase-client still exists...01:35
Fujitsu*clients01:35
geseris it perhaps because of the missing space before [!s390] ?01:35
LaserJockahh, well it's not actually a FTBS but a apt-get build-dep problem01:36
=== secretlondon nods.
FujitsuThus, not my problem :D01:36
Fujitsugeser: Looks like it.01:37
FujitsuThat's legal though, AFAIK.01:37
LaserJockis it an apt-get bug?01:38
FujitsuIt doesn't specify in the policy document that a space is required, it just says it has to follow... I think apt-get is following policy, but other things are being more lenient.01:39
LaserJockI suppose we could forward it upstream01:42
Fujitsu`it is also conventional to put a single space after each comma, on either side of each vertical bar, and before each open parenthesis.'01:44
FujitsuAs long as it's not ambiguous, whitespace isn't required...01:44
FujitsuSo it's a bug in apt-get, although matplotlib isn't following recommendations.01:45

plugwashLaserJock what exactly is the untrusted repo wallpaper?02:11
LaserJockit was on planet a while back02:12
LaserJockthere was this guy who was giving out a "ultimate sources.list" with like 50 repos02:12
secretlondoni read that02:13
TheMusoI remember seeing that.02:13
LaserJockthe owner of one of the 3rd party repos apparently thought it would be good to warn people about the dangers of a 3rd party repo02:13
FujitsuLaserJock: Which Colin?02:13
TheMusoI personally would rather stick with the official repos.02:13
LaserJockso he replaced the wallpaper with a red skull on black background02:13
LaserJockfreaked a bunch of people on the forums out02:13
LaserJockFujitsu: Colin Watson02:14

secretlondonthe real problem is with the many people who think they need to install automatix style stuff to play mp3s (of which there are loads and loads)02:14

LaserJockyeah02:15
FujitsuI'd seen the latter of those some days ago.02:15
LaserJockwell apparently one of the other repos also messed around with fstab and sudoers at the same time02:15

FujitsuSo some package actually stuffed with fstab and sudoers? Maliciously?02:17
LaserJockno02:18
LaserJocknot maliciously02:18
secretlondonno-one should be kicked out (except the person making the dodgy package) - our users need educating however02:18

LaserJockwell, it certainly freaked people out02:19
LaserJockas you can see on the threads02:19

LaserJockpeople were formating their disks02:19
plugwashand there isn't much you can do about it02:19
Fujitsu... what possible legitimate reason is there to stuff around with fstab and sudoers?02:19
secretlondonyou can't tell our users that they shouldn't install experimental software if they don't understand ir02:20
plugwashif you make a distro to appeal to lusers you will have lusers doing stupid stuff02:20
LaserJockI'm guessing it was unintentional, who knows02:20
LaserJockanyway, it's an interesting thing02:20
secretlondonthey want the newest, untested stuff - but they can't put it right02:20
TheMusoThat kind of bad quality control is rampent in the Slackware community with third party repos.02:20
secretlondonit's fascinating and may make some of them think twice02:20
TheMusoi remember trying to use packages, and they were absolutely horrible.02:21
secretlondonwe have many people using feisty as the newest and shiniest who don't know how to file a bug report02:21
plugwashone big problem is that ubutu presumablly can't endorse any repositries that host illegal packages02:21
plugwashbut using illegal packages is nessacery for a good media experiance on linux02:22
secretlondonit's our demographic - if they weren't experimentla they'd still be using windows02:22
FujitsuGrrrrrrreat: `Whoever came up with these bogus packages needs several good swift kicks in the posterior, IMHO!'02:22

LaserJockplugwash: illegal most places I believe02:26
LaserJockwell, maybe not most02:26
LaserJockbut quite a few02:26
Fujitsuplugwash: Illegal unless you have a Windows license, and illegal in many places anyway, I believe.02:26
=== Fujitsu wishes the CC could impose sanctions on the forums to minimise advertising of Automatix.
plugwashright so to play one of the most common video formats you need to use an illegal package which ubuntu presumablly cannot endorse02:26
LaserJocksure it can02:27
Fujitsuplugwash: Of course. Thankyou Microsoft.02:27
LaserJockwell, depends on endorse02:27
LaserJockthere are decently trusthworthy repos with that I believe02:27
FujitsuI believe Seveas' has it, for example.02:27
secretlondonwikipedia now has the quote from mdz saying it causes breakage02:27
SeveasFujitsu, ?02:27
imbrandonit does, and frankly wmv,wma is the only thing you cannot play without it02:28
FujitsuSeveas: Your repo has w32codecs, doesn't it?02:28
Seveasit allegedly has02:28
LaserJock:-)02:28
plugwashLaserJock right, but ubuntu presumablly can't officially reccomend a repositry with an illegal package in02:28
Seveasindeed02:28
Seveasand I wouldn't want to recommend it anyway02:28
Seveassince there is also stuff in there with breaking chances02:29
secretlondonits just the w32 package and DeCSS afaik which we can't ship02:29
imbrandonwhy would you recomend something you only need to have to play wmv's with ?02:29
imbrandonother playser play the other formats just fine02:29
LaserJockimbrandon: some people need wmv support I'd guess :-)02:30
plugwashso without using illegal packages ubuntu users can't play dvds or wmv files, its no wonder they turn to dodgy repositries02:30
imbrandonheh02:30
LaserJockit's not a great situation for sure, it'd be great to say "we can play anything you throw at us" but we can't02:30

imbrandonit boils down to the ONLY thing w32codecs are NEEDED for is wmv's02:32

secretlondonok - because i knw people don't realise how little they need automatix as keep getting feedback about it02:33
LaserJockI installed an Edgy prerelease02:34
LaserJockand I forgot to install the mp3 stuff02:34
LaserJockso I fired up Rhythmbox and tried to play one of my mp3s02:34
LaserJockit poped up a dialog box saying it couldn't play mp3s and offered to install the packages needed02:35
LaserJockI hit "Ok" and it did it just fine and mp3s played fine02:35
FujitsuAmarok does that now as well.02:35
secretlondongreat02:35
LaserJockeasy as that02:35
imbrandonactualy amarok did it first :) but anyhow thats getting put in for all codecs for feisty02:36
imbrandonas i said it was the easy-codec bof02:36
secretlondonfabulous02:36
imbrandonbut it works for mp3's now in edgy ( that accounts for 80% + of the codec problems )02:36
imbrandonok anyhow really afk again02:36
LaserJockI wish the Automatix people would at least look at this stuff02:37
secretlondonimbrandon: but they think it doesn't and install helper script thing anyway02:37
LaserJocksame with Opera02:37
LaserJockthey could use the dapper-commercial repo, but they don't02:37
imbrandon( and dapper kubuntu too becouse i backported the new amarok with the patch )02:37
FujitsuLaserJock: I wish the Automatix people would just vanish.02:37
LaserJockFujitsu: that's not going to happen02:37
LaserJockit's wildly popular02:37
FujitsuWe can hope.02:37
secretlondonif anything we'll get more of this stuff02:37
LaserJockmany people consider it the salvation of Ubuntu02:38
TheMusoDo the automatix folks state that it will screw your system in terms of future upgrades?02:38
=== Fujitsu explodes
FujitsuTheMuso: I doubt it.02:38
LaserJockTheMuso: not sure exactly02:38
imbrandonsecretlondon: well thats a issue of ignorance, someone just needs to take the time to inform them ( over and over ) of the "right way" , thats the only way to get it tdone, and frankly i dont have the time to troll the forums to do it, so i rely on others to doso02:38
LaserJockthe problem is that you can't just dismiss it02:39
secretlondonimbrandon: me neither - I have better things to do. I stop it when I see it on Live Journal - the forums are too big for me (but they are supposedly policed)02:39
LaserJockimbrandon: that's where forum mod/admin training would be good02:39
imbrandonoh i know, it cant be dismissed, but i see it as it takes time aweay from coding to doso when some non coder can be informed and help in that way02:40
LaserJockwhen I see mods and admins saying the most fantastic FUD I get a little irritated02:40
secretlondonTheMuso: of course not. wikipedia now does though02:40
TheMusoBut who visits wiipedia to read up on automatix?02:40
FujitsuLaserJock: Some of them do that!?02:40
imbrandonhehe02:40
PriceChildHey.... we talking about ubuntuforums.org?02:40
secretlondonTheMuso: some do as they made their own page. I can control wikipedia - I can't control automatix's promotion team02:41
imbrandonPriceChild: unfortunately02:41
LaserJockFujitsu: well the guy who wrote Automatix was an admin or mod02:41
PriceChildI'd like to point out that I NEVER condone EasyUbuntu02:41
PriceChildor automatix02:41
FujitsuThat arnieboy character?02:41
LaserJockmhm02:41
PriceChildI always give people documentation from the ubuntu wiki etc.02:41
FujitsuGoodo, PriceChild.02:41
LaserJockPriceChild: we need more like you02:41
PriceChildnot only do they work better...02:41
FujitsuI loved arnieboy's manner... It was so nice.02:41
PriceChildbut you learn more about how your system works02:41
PriceChildand they don't break02:42
LaserJockthe forums need moderation from the mod/admin community not the ubuntu dev community02:42
LaserJockwe simply don't have the time nor sway in the forum community to make a dent02:42
PriceChildLaserJock: we're hopefully introducing "Forum Ambassadors" who will try and give feedback from the forums to the devs02:43
LaserJockPriceChild: I know02:43
LaserJockI hope it works02:43
PriceChildthere's now reason why you couldn't attend the next gobby session and try to get feedback the other way into the spec02:43
PriceChildbecause that isn't really there...02:43
LaserJockwell, I was in on the forum thread on it02:43
plugwashwho owns/runs ubuntuforums.net , is it an official thing?02:43
PriceChildstarted Unofficially by ryan troy02:43
PriceChildit is now an official forum02:44
PriceChildt is coming under more goverance02:44
LaserJockplugwash: it's hosted by Canonical but "owned" by Ryan Troy02:44
PriceChildsee /forumsgovernance on the wiki02:44
LaserJockyeah, if the forum governance and ambassadors specs actually work it should help a lot02:44
LaserJockI'm a little skeptical, but trying to remain optimistic even so02:45
PriceChild:)02:45
PriceChildeveryone'll sort it out eventually....02:46
PriceChildthe main issue with the governance is that "it"s working right now... we don't want to change "it" too much02:48
PriceChildI think both parties are happy with what we have in the wiki now though... I just don't know when it'll be officially announced/taken out of spec02:49
PriceChildI think Mark and Ryan have to make a final "ok"02:50
secretlondonryan is dictator for life though?02:50

_MMA_But I find Ices2.03:40
joejaxxices2 - Ogg Vorbis streaming source for Icecast 203:40
_MMA_yes03:40
secretlondonis ices0 an older version?03:41
_MMA_its the MP3 streamer03:41
imbrandonices2 is for icecast2 , ices0 is for icecast03:42
secretlondonah - maybe debian doesn't ship it03:42
imbrandonone is oog one is mp303:42
_MMA_Wait. With Ices2, is the stream Vorbis or does the source have to be vorbis?03:42
imbrandonogg*03:42
imbrandonices2 will take any input, but the output is always vorbis03:42
secretlondon_MMA_ I can't remember but its in the ices docs03:42
_MMA_Ahh... That works also. Thanx Brandon.03:43
imbrandonices0 will also take any input but only output mp303:43

minghuawhat's the point of keeping help.ubuntu.com/community/ and wiki.ubuntu.com separate then?04:16
imbrandonminghua: there is much more than help document tation on wiki.u.c , h.u.c/community is primarly community contributed help04:17

imbrandonhahaha , hub your joking right?04:44
hubno04:44
joejaxxlol04:44
hubi'm interested in opinions04:45
imbrandonfirst off the interface, 2nd poor image rendering, no svg support , and TONS of other things04:45
hubgimpshop04:45
hubtime to push it in ubuntu04:45
hub2nd, I don't see a problem, but it is subjective04:45
imbrandongimp is ok for someone just playing arround and never used pro software before, but anyone else its like asking a MS word user to use notepad04:45
hub3rd SVG? it does not support it as import and render?04:45
imbrandongimp shop dosent help any04:45
imbrandonand no it dosent04:46
imbrandonnot natively04:46
joejaxximpilinux?04:46
joejaxxis that the name of that os?04:46
minghuaDebian's gimp-svg works quite well for my SVG files04:46
elkbuntuimbrandon, well there is *some* svg support.04:47
imbrandonminghua: yea to import them into a bitmap, not to manipulate them04:47
elkbuntuyou can *open* them... :04:47
hubimbrandon: gimp is not a vector drawing application04:47
imbrandonwow, thats really helpfull *rolls eyes* hehe04:47
minghuaimbrandon: well, then you used the wrong tool, I suppose04:47
hubso manipulating SVG....04:47
hubinkscape will do it04:47
imbrandonwhy use 2 tools for the same job? when i've used one just fine for years with lots better support04:48
elkbuntuhub, that means you need two programs, rather than one04:48
hubelkbuntu: like with photoshop and illustrator04:48
hubso what is the deal04:48
imbrandonespecialy when a svg incorperates bitmaped artwork, that becomes a major pain04:48
elkbuntuhub, they at least talk to each other04:49
hub(given that it was the original point of comparison)04:49
imbrandonhub: but IL and PS work as one04:49
imbrandonand install as one04:49
imbrandonetc, its like gcc without a linker04:49
hubno04:49

imbrandonso its like gcc + no linker04:50
hubno04:50
hubI agree that inscape and gimp not talking together lack04:51

imbrandonand gimpshop is a bad attempt to make a horrible interface semi better04:52

Simon80look at the topic, hahaha06:26
Mezfeisty's been open for over a week06:27
Simon80so, can anybody recommend a split package howto?06:29
joejaxxSimon80: i have been in here for a very long time06:29
MezSimon80, dont know if there are howtos06:29
crimsunwhat language?06:29
joejaxx /join wise06:29
Meza new package, or splitting a current one ?06:29
Simon80either or06:29
Simon80just how to06:29
Simon80I mean, I have an existing single06:30
crimsunmy favourite example of one in python is quodlibet06:30
Simon80should I just source that?06:30
crimsunwell, is your example in python?06:31
Simon80no, but that doesn't matter, right, we're just dumping files06:31
joejaxxok good i have until febuary06:31
crimsunwell, sure, then.06:31
joejaxxfebruary*06:31
crimsuncdbs makes splitting ridiculously simple06:32
Simon80am I missing a reason why it would matter? :)06:32
Simon80oh, and um.. I don't know how to use cdbs06:32
Simon80:)06:32

=== dous_ [n=dous@124.107.251.187] has joined #ubuntu-motu
Simon80hmm, before I go ahead, is it important to use release tarballs rather than release-tagged cvs source?06:48
minghuaSimon80: released tarballs are usually preferred06:50
imbrandontarbals are prefered06:50
Simon80the reason I'm asking is that the tarball is split, sort of how I'm going to split this package06:50
Simon80but if I use that, and they change how they make tarballs in the future, it's extra work06:50
Simon80they're not gonna change how the cvs repo is structured, that's a lot more work06:51
Simon80for them06:51
imbrandonif they change how the tarbals are released, then its a good reason to reexamine the pagaging too06:51
imbrandonpackaging*06:51
Simon80ok06:52
Simon80I suppose I'd have to do that anyway06:52
Simon80.....but not necessarily06:52
Simon80cause, they haven't released in a year, by the time they do, they might just wing it differently06:53
imbrandonright, you want to stay as close to upstream as possible , within reason, unless you have a very good reason to change something06:53
Simon80ok06:53
Simon80upstream release, you mean06:53
Simon80cause to be clear, I'm not really changing anything, just grabbing it from cvs rather than from sf.net mirrors06:54
imbrandonupstream anything, if they split it in a certain way , there is usaly a reason for it, and debian will normaly follow that reason unless there is a larger reason say dfsg for changeing it06:54
Simon80I was even going to split it the same way06:55
Simon80at least if I use the tarballs, I won't have to learn how to do split debs........06:55
Simon80I definitely find this process painful compared to ebuilds06:56
imbrandonheh well i seen you mentioned gentoo's doc's earlier too, think about it like this, gentoo is a meta distro, you HAVE to have doc's because thats basicly the whole distro, you lkearn tyo build the same system the same way as someone else06:57
imbrandon:)06:57
Simon80lol06:57
Simon80GFS06:57
imbrandongfs?06:57
Simon80gentoo from scratch06:57
Simon80I was talking about their ebuild howto though, it beats learning how to make debs06:58
imbrandonheh, there realy isnt any other way ( and dont say stage 3 , i know -0- people that use only stage 3 and no other softweare )06:58
Simon80the one area their system falls flat is usage... sooo slow06:58
Simon80but from the dev side it's sweet06:58
=== StevenK should look at the ebuild howto, if only to poke fun at them.
imbrandonStevenK: its basicly a makefile06:58
imbrandon:)06:58
Simon80before you say anything, think about how their scripts are separate from sources06:59
imbrandonmakefile + watchfile06:59
imbrandonSimon80: so our ours, everything is in /debian06:59
imbrandon:)06:59
Simon80so you can ebuild skype or something without needing to redist06:59
Simon80I guess that's not a "feature" for debian folk06:59
imbrandonright liek i said a watchfile + makefile06:59
Simon80what do you mean by watchfile, Changelog?07:00
imbrandonbut that requires a user to want to compile something07:00
imbrandonwatchfile, tells the deb where to get the upstream tarbal07:00
imbrandone.g. 1/2 ebuild :)07:00
Simon80imbrandon: they could use binary ebuilds with minor changes to portage, but it would mean compiler transitions and all that nonsense07:00
imbrandoncould and do are diffrent though :)07:01
Simon80seems to me that they could, at least07:01
StevenKSome things are already provided in binary form, for example, openoffice07:01
Simon80that's different07:01
Simon80cause if they did it on a large scale, it wouldn't be split out07:01
imbrandonyea GRP files, i know but tey are always out of date and hard to find07:01
MezSimon80, compiler transitions are all part of the fun :D07:01
Simon80and also, openoffice-bin is not prebuilt, it's the official openoffice binaries07:02
imbrandonkde is still on 3.4 GRP files07:02
imbrandonetc07:02
=== kgoetz [n=kgoetz@easyubuntu/docteam/kgoetz] has joined #ubuntu-motu
Simon80I don't mean grp though07:02
Simon80I mean debian style repos for after the fact07:02
imbrandoni'm talking on a large scale, for every package, if they were all in binary form why use gentoo >07:02
Simon80too much effort for gentoo though, they're already short enough as is07:02
kgoetzsabdfl's blog (from a few weeks back) meantions ubuntu made iceweasel and firefox debs 'in case'. would it be posible to get the iceweasel debs?,07:02
Simon80gentoo is flexible, that's why I use it, not cause of the source07:03
imbrandonkgoetz: you would have to ask ian probably, he is the current "maintainer "07:03
Simon80the source thing's part of that though, cause you can just recompile everything and the compiler transition is done07:03
Simon80takes like, a week though07:03
=== StevenK whispers "Gentoo is for ricers"
kgoetzimbrandon: thanks. i'll go find deails on LP07:04
kgoetz*his07:04
Simon80I have somewhere around 500-600 ebuilds merged07:04
imbrandonSimon80: you can in debian based ones too "apt-get source -b blah"  <-- grabs the source and builds it07:04
Simon80yeah, but you don't get use flags, copious example configs, no default settings (I love that one, lol)07:04
kgoetzyou can use flags. you just edit apt.conf07:05
imbrandonsure you can vi the debian/rules file and change to your hearts content07:05
StevenKI remember seeing a hook for apt that downloads the buildd log for a package and scrolls it past while you download and install a package.07:05
Simon80kgoetz, I don't mean CFLAGS07:05
Simon80StevenK: lmao07:05
Simon80oh man, that's funny... I think I'm done laughing07:06
Simon80debian for ricers07:06
Simon80that's sort of like X forwarding firefox to my 77007:06

joejaxx22:10  * joejaxx decodes flac07:13
joejaxx22:10 < joejaxx> is what it says07:13
imbrandonSimon80: no you dont, you just have to worry about constantly emerging new versions07:13
StevenKelkbuntu: Did I read somewhere that you have a bunch of Edgy CDs?07:13
joejaxximbrandon: yeah it was a badjoke07:13
elkbuntuStevenK, i do have some, however jellyware has the shipment07:13
Simon80imbrandon: is that not like apt-get update?07:14
StevenKelkbuntu: So I can't hit you up for some? :-P07:14
Simon80emerge --sync takes a year, I know, but I mean, a lot less trouble than dist-upgrade breaking stuff07:14
imbrandonnot really, more like apt-get dist-upgrade ( dependancys )07:14
elkbuntuStevenK, quantity dependant07:14
Simon80the breakage is gradual07:14
imbrandonSimon80: hrm dist upgrade rarely breaks things for me, very rarely, unless i have some 3rd party crap, but i know better07:15
Simon80yeah07:15
imbrandoni dist upgrade 2 or 3 times daily most of the time07:15
Simon80now that I package, so do I07:15
StevenKelkbuntu: I like the pressed ones. I was after 1 or 2 for myself. But only if you can swing it.07:15
minghuain debian if you dist-upgrade from one stable release to a new stable release things should never break07:15
Simon80imbrandon: I meant dist-upgrade edgy-feisty, etc.07:15
elkbuntuStevenK, sure, i can manage that. pm details?07:16
Simon80the other thing is that when something new comes out, I want it now, not 6 months, or even a year07:16
imbrandonSimon80: ahh well thats not the only dist upgrade, dist-upgrade is a daily thing too, but as minghua said07:16
Simon80that's my initial reason to switch07:16
imbrandonSimon80: then run the dev release07:16
Simon80but the dev release breaks07:16
Simon80I tried that07:16
Simon80not usable much07:16
imbrandonhrm yes it breaks but as does anything if you get the "new hotness right away07:17
Simon80not really, with gentoo, if I get something new and it breaks things, I can mask it07:17
imbrandonbut not useable is an overstatement07:17
imbrandonsure and with debian you can pin it07:17
Simon80well, early in the cycle, I got dapper, had not so good luck there, IIRC07:17
imbrandonsame thing07:17
Simon80you can't pin it if they remove the old version from the repos07:18
Simon80great in theory, spoiled by that in practice07:18
imbrandonits in your apt-cache, nah works very well on many many systems i have here07:18
=== kgoetz [n=kgoetz@easyubuntu/docteam/kgoetz] has left #ubuntu-motu []
crimsundude, gotta have the latest crack[ful packages] 07:18
imbrandonpoint is they both have merits , depends on where yuor priorities are07:19
Simon80yeah07:19
imbrandonbut debian can do anything gentoo can and vice versa, its just how its done07:19
imbrandonand the hoops you have to go through07:20
Simon80 I wouldn't say anything, they're both specialized to some degree07:20
Simon80I mean, anything yes, if you want a bloody forehead07:20
Simon80but I don't07:20
imbrandonbut as i started off saying you cant compare ebuilds to deb's , genttos equiv to an deb is a grp file07:20
Simon80well, no, you could compare ebuilds to deb-src, and ebuilds win out for me, nice and easy to write07:21
Simon80and can get around redist legality issues07:21
imbrandonas you can with other debian mirrors too07:21
imbrandon:)07:21
Simon80how so?07:21
Simon80amd I hope ubuntu's firefox builds aren't slow still07:22
crimsuneh, only _some_ redist issues07:22
imbrandonlook at seveas.imbrandon.com or debian-multimedia.org07:22
Simon80yeah, but that's still illegal07:22
crimsunand feisty's ff 2.0 has been blessed by mozilla07:22
crimsunerr, edgy's07:22
Simon80hmm07:22
=== crimsun puts down the crackpipe
imbrandonno, its only ileagle if its used in the wrong place07:22
Simon80cause I wasn't imagining the slowness in breezy07:22
crimsunthat was due to cairo, in part07:22
Simon80switching tabs was slow with the package, faster with the bins07:22
imbrandonjust as an ebuild07:23
crimsunit has been disabled except for certain langs in edgy07:23
Simon80seems to still be doing that07:23
crimsun(cf. changelog)07:23
Simon80I hate a problem like that, how would I even come close to solving it?07:24
Simon80I don't mind solving problems, but I hate ones I can't touch07:24
crimsunwhat do you mean by "solving"?07:24
Simon80fixing07:24
Simon80for me at the very least07:24
minghuanobody stops you from rebuilding your own firefox package07:24
crimsunprecisely, minghua07:24
Simon80but I have no idea if that would fix it07:24
Simon80and building a firefox package is way too much effort07:24
crimsunor if you're utterly concerned, you _can_ use the official bins from their Web site and just use equivs07:25
crimsungranted that's some amount of crackfulness, but...07:25
Simon80yeah, I know... but it's a pain07:25
Simon80it doesn't really fix the issue, in 6 months I have to put in effort again07:25
HobbseeSimon80: especially if it ftbfs with the qt engine07:25
Simon80ftbfs?07:25
crimsunwhy in six months?07:25
Simon80freetpe something something..07:25
Simon80feisty07:26
crimsunno one forces you to dist-upgrade...07:26
minghuaif you know how to fix it in gentoo, you should be able to fix it the same way when you rebuild debian package07:26
imbrandonbugsquishing is never unpainfull07:26
imbrandonfail to build from source07:26
imbrandonminghua: exactly07:26
imbrandonthat was my thinking07:26
minghuaif you are saying just use ebuild to build a gentoo package will give you desired result, then it's not gentoo's advantage, it's gentoo packager's advantage07:26
crimsunbugsquishin is my blue pill.07:26
HobbseeSimon80: fails to build from source.07:26
Simon80crimsun, not dist-upgrading isn't a solution either07:26
=== StevenK trips over the double negative
crimsunSimon80: what requirements prevent that from being a valid solution?07:27

Simon80my requirement to partake in the new features in feisty07:27
imbrandonSimon80: well i fail to see how you would have to redo it either, hopefull if you apt-get source the package and fix something you give that patch to the maintainer07:27

Mezgentoo was one huge ftbfs for me07:28
Simon80haha07:28
Simon80yeah, I get those on occasion, my gentoo is a mix of unstable and stable07:28
Simon80thing is, I don't want to rebuild firefox, for all I know that won't even fix this07:28

Simon80it's a GUI thing, how would I really prove it07:30
imbrandonok , here is my final question, because we are way OT for in here, but why the hell are you using ubuntu if gentoo does what you want/need ?07:30
StevenKExactly07:30
crimsunimbrandon: shiny07:30
Simon80gentoo does NOT do exactly what I need07:30

imbrandonerm ok, i must have missed something way back, but thats ok, i'm in the dark alot07:31
=== imbrandon goes to grab some more dew
Simon80this wasn't really ever me bashing ubuntu for gentoo, it's just that ubuntu and debian can improve in some areas that gentoo does better07:31
LaserJockoh goodie goodie, a gentoo discusion07:31
Simon80like the good docs07:31
Simon80so I can actually figure out how to write deb packages07:32
AmaranthLaserJock: pong07:32
imbrandonSimon80: but i explained that, gentoo is all doc's kinda like lfs, there wouldent be a gentto without a doc telling you how to compile it07:32
Simon80is that an excuse for debian?07:32
imbrandonno there are many good docs on making a deb07:32
LaserJockAmaranth: dude, have you seen all the fluxbuntu discussions in here?07:32
imbrandonin many diffrent fassions07:32

AmaranthLaserJock: I have since been schooled07:33
joejaxxlol07:33
crimsunErr, let's back up a sec. Arguably Gentoo's Policy and Contract are influenced heavily by Debian's.07:33

Simon80not much, I'm just frustrated07:34
AmaranthSimon80: You can't just bitch without having a deliverable.07:34
Simon80part  of it is I just noticed the same tab switch slowness that firefox had in breezy07:34
crimsunAmaranth: but I wanna shiny pony!07:35
Amaranthtab switch slowness? i only got that when something was loading07:35
joejaxxcrimsun: Lol07:35
Simon80no, loaded stuff, cpu time being used07:35
Simon80I'll have to get the official bins and see if they do it too, baybe it's a regression07:35
minghuawell, if you just want to try firefox without pango, there is always MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO07:36
minghuasimple and easy, no recompiling needed07:36
Simon80is that a notable difference or something?07:36
AmaranthSimon80: Or you could check in edgy or feisty instead of something that old.07:36
Amaranthminghua: pango is off unless you use a language that needs it07:36
minghuathat uses XFT rendering instead of PANGO rendering07:36
Simon80Amaranth: what?07:36
AmaranthSimon80: You're only looking at breezy's firefox?07:36
minghuaAmaranth: oh okay.  I didn't know.  thanks07:36
Simon80amaranth: no, I'm looking at edgy's, and saying it's slow like breezy's07:37
imbrandonSimon80: how are you measuring it ?07:38
Simon80with my eyes :(07:38
Simon80it's not a huge deal07:38
imbrandonwow, ok, i meant measuring it07:38
LaserJockSimon80: in the area of docs, the Ubuntu doc team has looked at the gentoo doc system07:38
LaserJockit is one of our sort of model doc systems07:39
Simon80imbrandon, how am I supposed to measure switching tabs07:39
Simon80other than a cpu mon07:39
=== elkbuntu wonders if this topic should not go to another channel
imbrandonthere are ways to measure anything, one way would be to put debug flags in and dbg it07:40
Simon80I just noticed this now, I'm not going that far07:40
Simon80like I said, way above my effort threshold... the farthest I'd go is check the official dist, that made a difference in breezy07:40
Simon80the other thing is maybe it's related to fglrx vs r30007:41
Simon80I don't even know07:41
LaserJockelkbuntu: you have another topic to discuss? :-)07:41
imbrandonright but before you can even make that assumption it would have to be 30s or greater diffrence, a few miliseconds cant be determined by the eye, i'm not saying your wrong, but you have to be objective about it and find exactly whats going on to help fix it07:41
Simon8030 s or greater?07:41
imbrandonsure anything less than that cant be "judged" objectively07:41
imbrandonwith the eye alone07:41
elkbuntuLaserJock, i could find many that are not likely to explode into a distro war ;)07:42
Simon80I respectfully disagree, you can switch tabs and look at cpu usage07:42
Simon80and delay07:42
Simon80it's between highly snappy, and noticeably slow07:42
LaserJockelkbuntu: distro war? we're all interested in Ubuntu here :-)07:42
imbrandonsure but can you tell why? or even if it IS firefox and not something else running up the cpu ?07:42
Simon80um, yes07:42
imbrandonor a extension or anything07:42
=== highvoltage [n=highvolt@196.1.61.9] has joined #ubuntu-motu
imbrandonyou cant debug "snappy" and "noticeably slow" is whaty i'm getting at, i'm NOT saying its not slower, but thats hardly something to go on07:43
Simon80ok, and now our POVs meet, I was bitching about this because I'm annoyed at how hard it is to track something like this down, but it bugs me nonetheless07:43
Simon80lol:07:44
Simon80!ohmy07:44
ubotuPlease watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.07:44
=== Amaranth just uses epiphany
LaserJockbah07:44
Simon80anyway, my complaint about the docs still stand07:44
Simon80stands*07:44
imbrandonthats kinda like me saying , i think i get better gas milage with medium grade gas becouse when i filled up with low grade gas i had to full up two times in one week compared to two, e.g. there are a TON of other factors you must consider, e.g. what its compiled with, some real measurements etc etc etc07:45
Simon80imbrandon, simple fact, from breezy, at least, was that I could compare ubuntu vs official firefox one after the other, and there was always a difference, it was not subtle, I have a fast machine, and under normal operation, switching a tab doesn't cause even a blip on my cpu monitor07:46
imbrandonright , but you said it would be easier with an ebuild, its no easier to debug this in debian or in gentoo07:46
imbrandonits stillth e same codebase, etc07:46
Simon80whoa, whoa, haha, I never said that07:46
LaserJockwell07:46
Simon80the only difference is gentoo makes it easy to use the official dist07:47
LaserJockI do think debian source packages are probably much harder to compare upstream with07:47
LaserJockwe make a lot of changes quite a bit of the time07:47
Simon80I don't think I even brought that up though07:47
imbrandonSimon80: apt-get source blah, change what you like just like an ebuild07:47
imbrandonthen build it07:47
imbrandonsame thing07:47
Simon80imbrandon, no, I mean emerge firefox-bin07:48
Simon80that's easy07:48
imbrandonapt-get source -b firefix07:48
imbrandonexact same result07:48
Simon80imbrandon, you're misunderstanding me07:48
crimsunLaserJock: in terms of the binary package(s), yes07:48
LaserJockmost ebuilds I've seen are pretty darn simple07:48
Simon80indeed, I love writing ebuilds in many cases07:49
LaserJockprobably .rpms are even closer (although I don't know)07:49
HobbseeSimon80: so why havnet you fixed firefox to be faster yet?07:49
imbrandonrpm's are a nightmare, imagine a deb with no packaging rules07:49
elkbuntuHobbsee, rofl07:50
joejaxximbrandon: that whould be terrible07:50
Simon80indeed, that's a bit beyond me07:50
LaserJockimbrandon: of course07:50
HobbseeSimon80: start learning.07:50
joejaxximbrandon: it really whould07:50
Simon80hobbsee, it's not just learning, it's insane debugging for a problem that is probably only transient anyway07:50
crimsunimbrandon: checkins...soap, please.07:50
LaserJockbut the point being, IMO debian packages are probably farther from the original source then most other package managment systems07:51
=== imbrandon hides and shushes
LaserJockso it makes it harder, at times, to compare upstream to our binaries07:51
AmaranthLaserJock: Package management systems? What does the package management system have to do with the patches applied?07:51
HobbseeSimon80: like i say, get fixing.07:51
joejaxximbrandon: i actually like all the rules debian has in place for its packaging archives07:51
Simon80lol hobbsee07:51
joejaxxHobbsee: lol07:52
Simon80wasted effort07:52
LaserJockAmaranth: well, maybe not so much package management, but package format07:52
AmaranthLaserJock: Nope, that's not it either.07:52
LaserJockwell, whatever07:52
AmaranthLaserJock: The word you're looking for is "distribution". :)07:52
LaserJockno07:52
LaserJockthat's not what I'm looking for07:52
crimsunI think Jordan's referring to the build system from the maintainer's perspective.07:52
imbrandonyea the build system is quite a bit diffrent, but the results i dont think are07:53
imbrandonbut thats my 0.2c07:53
Simon80if you spent a few minutes in my head, you'd see why getting rid of a bit of cpu time usage when I switch tabs is not a priority: the problem has been on and off, related to _which build_ I use, and there are soo many other OSS contributions I have floating in my head that would benefit more people07:53
LaserJockwhen I've looked at Gentoo, Fink, RPMs, they seem to do less messing around with the source07:53
Simon80I agree with laserjock07:53
AmaranthLaserJock: You are talking about patches, right?07:53
imbrandonumm fink == debian packaging07:53
Simon80a bit07:54
LaserJockAmaranth: "stuff"07:54
minghuaimbrandon: not really07:54
Simon80I mean, like, rpm can be kept down to just a spec file07:54
Amaranthfink is debs and apt, no?07:54
LaserJockimbrandon: sorry, darwin ports is what I meant07:54
minghuafink doesn't even have the concept of source package07:54
imbrandonminghua: sure, i've even done some fink packages, they are very very similar07:54
LaserJockAmaranth: highly modified07:54
Amaranthwell, yeah07:54
Simon80I had makefile code + skeleton spec for the purpose of bundling with my own upstream release07:54
imbrandonminghua: sure they do07:54
AmaranthLaserJock: Scibuntu! (forums)07:55
Simon80this was at work, so there's no release to speak of, but just that file was enough07:55
LaserJockAmaranth: yeah, yeah07:55
minghuaimbrandon: really?  I admit I didn't look closely, but it seems just patches and a build script to me07:55
imbrandonyea now darwin ports is diffrent, thats very close to gentoo portage or BSD ports ( e.g. where they all come from )07:55
imbrandonbut fink's are deb and dsc etc just like debian just built against the osx kernel07:56
LaserJockso I think it does become harder to compare when we diverge from the original authors source07:56
imbrandonfollow basicly trhe same package guideline etc07:56
imbrandonLaserJock: well all package management systems have diffrrent ways to have patches, ours is just more transparent, something like BSD ports patches the source directly in the ports tree07:57
imbrandonso is VERY hard to compare07:57
Simon80errr07:57
LaserJockwhat?07:57
LaserJockyou have a "patch" file07:57
LaserJockthat's pretty darn easy07:58
Simon80ebuilds don't do that, they have patch files, and the ebuild patches after src is downloaded07:58
LaserJockwe don't even know if the .orig.tar.gz is right07:58
Simon80patches the source, I mean07:58
Simon80yeah07:58
Simon80with ebuilds, you have SRC_URI pointing upstream07:58
imbrandonLaserJock: ok think about it like this, you want to compare a debian package to an upstream version, you know EXACTLY where to find the diffrences, makes it very easy to compre, anything thats NOT in the .orig.tar.gz07:58
Simon80the orig could be changed though07:58
imbrandonSimon80: no, its nbot supose to be, it should match exactly upstream07:59
=== joejaxx grabs popcorn
Simon80and how do we know where the orig is from? that frustrates me at times07:59
LaserJockthat and it's much harder to see what's going on in a debian source package07:59
AmaranthLaserJock: I'm 99% positive the .orig.tar.gz of every single package in ubuntu/debian is the exact upstream source unless it has dfsg in it's name.07:59
Simon80I guess that's just something you know and I don't though, it's in uscan, isn't it?07:59
LaserJockAmaranth: I beg to differ ;-)07:59
AmaranthLaserJock: That's a bug.07:59
LaserJocksure07:59
imbrandonLaserJock: if thats not the case there should be a very very good explination08:00
imbrandonand a bug filed08:00
AmaranthLaserJock: If you know about it it should have already been fixed. :)08:00
LaserJocklook, I'm not knocking Debian packaging here08:00
LaserJockI've just seen this stuff08:00
imbrandonright but what i'm saying is you should be able to count on the orig.tar.gz being exactly upstream, thats the WHOLE reason for it08:00
AmaranthSimon80: What happens when the upstream goes away?08:00
LaserJockand a price we have to pay for the stability and flexibility that we have is that we become farther away from the upstream source08:00
=== Simon80 copies another cvs head package of stepmania to his underground lair
Simon80Amaranth: gentoo usually mirrors... in that case though they will usually end up removing from portage anyhow though08:01
Simon80though though though.. oops08:01
LaserJockimbrandon: but if the way we do source packages "allows" for that, then it might be an issue08:01
AmaranthSimon80: Well, I really mean what if example.com goes down for a week.08:01
LaserJockmirrors generally08:02

Simon80and don't question that, as we speak I just uploaded a new build of stepmania cvs to my webspace... I AM doing stuff.. I should be doing homework actually :(08:20
AmaranthSimon80: It's always a trade-off. http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2002-April/msg00618.html explains the pros/cons for a certain feature08:21
Simon80amaranth: I know08:21
Simon80.......I confess, I can't really provide good arguments to the contrary08:21
Simon80though there's always that cups thing that got linus involved, lol08:22
Amaranththat has since been fixed08:22
Simon80that's what bugs me, when they omit features08:22
Simon80I should file a bug on the mouse applet08:22
AmaranthGenerally "features" are missing because no one has done them the way the maintainer wants them to be done.08:22
Simon80needs to be able to change speed/accel on more than corepointer08:22
AmaranthOr because the maintainer thinks they're a bad idea for some reason. :)08:23
AmaranthIt's not just because he hates you. :)08:24
Simon80I haven't clashed with any maintainers, no code to speak of yet08:24
Simon80how do I add my own gpg key to apt-key?08:24
Simon80lol08:24
Amaranthapt-key add08:25
Simon80yes, but my own key08:25
Simon80I've wget riddell's key and such.. how do I access my own key in that format08:25
Simon80wgot, lol08:26
Simon80my pubkey08:26

imbrandonexpot your own pubkey to a file then apt-get add file08:26
Simon80yeah, just saw it08:26
Amaranthgpg --armor --export08:26
Simon80what option for armored?08:26

imbrandongpg --armor --output pubkey.txt --export 'Your Name'08:27
Simon80is it safe to upload that to my repo?08:27
Simon80err, not safe, but useful08:27
Simon80obviously it's safe08:27
AmaranthI'd rather you not08:27
imbrandonyes, if your repo is signed ( and it should be )08:27
crimsunI think if you have to ask whether it's useful, ...08:27
imbrandoncrimsun: that was my next sentance08:28
Simon80um, well no, it could be that it isn't, because if my repo is untrusted08:28
Simon80I don't know08:28
Simon80no use modifying a pubkey though08:28
joejaxxi ?08:28
Simon80what filename for the key though?08:28
AmaranthIf people don't add your key they get an annoying dialog in synaptic every time they refresh and if they do then it's harder to tell what packages are coming from official places and what packages aren't.08:28
imbrandonSimon80: well tbh if you dont know if the gpg pubkey is usefull i have little faith in you making a repo08:28

AmaranthSimon80: Don't sign your packages that way they show up as 'NOT AUTHENTICATED' so people know they're not from Ubuntu.08:29
Simon80lol08:29
Simon80but then I lose to security of having signed packages08:30
imbrandoncrimsun: please take my spot in the education of this padiwan, so i dont get called a flamer anymore, i got other things i can be doing08:30

crimsunsorry, I'm too busy doing shallow things with bugs.08:30
Simon80you flaming **** :)08:30
joejaxxAmaranth: Lol08:30
AmaranthSimon80: And your users lose any easy way to see whether or not you're updating their libc608:30
Amaranth(if you sign)08:30
joejaxxAmaranth: you know people do noy like that message :P08:30
Simon80I must say, since my packages are hosted on a relatively untrusted host, I would want the signatures08:30
Amaranthjoejaxx: But they like my packages so I tell them to put up with it. :P08:31
joejaxxAmaranth: hahaha08:31
Simon80lol, why would I update their libc? that's just evil08:31
joejaxxSimon80: basically08:31
Simon80question is what filename for my key08:31
joejaxxif they have a debline in their apt08:31
joejaxxyou have control of their machine08:31
joejaxx:(08:31
AmaranthSimon80: File name doesn't matter, the user has to wget it anyway.08:31
Simon80oh, ok08:31
Simon80but then your argument is moot, the user can avoid adding anyhow08:32
Simon80if they wanna track where the updates are from, they can use synaptic08:32
AmaranthSimon80: if you sign the packages and they don't get the key they get a weird error dialog every time they hit refresh in synaptic08:33
Simon80I know, I know08:33
AmaranthAnd I have no idea how to track where an update is coming from in synaptic. :P08:33
Simon80but if they don't get that dialog, they can still easily check the package source08:33

Simon80want a screenie?08:34

Amaranthif i don't know how to check what normal user would?08:34
Amaranthjoejaxx: i do madison instead but yeah08:35
Simon80I added my key, and it still won't auth, dammit08:35
joejaxxdid you apt-get update08:36
Simon80yep08:36
joejaxxdid you sign your release file?08:36
Simon80I just realized as you said that08:36
Simon80I don't actually have a real repo08:36

joejaxxyou really need tofix that :\08:43
Simon80believe me, I will before it becomes a big deal08:46
Simon80but it works and there's nothing wrong with it08:46
joejaxxwell08:46
Simon80I have 0 users, and the 1 package in there is stepmania cvs head08:46
Simon80as of now08:47

Simon80lol, it works in synaptic too08:47
Simon80you can add it.. just can't edit then save08:47
Simon80unless you change it08:47
Simon80to something other than the right line08:47
Simon80I don't even have room for more packages in the space I'm hosting08:47
joejaxxthere is a reason why synaptic will not let you save it08:47

=== abelcheung__ [n=abelcheu@221.126.153.24] has joined #ubuntu-motu
joejaxxSimon80: the reason is08:48
joejaxxis the repository i not setup right08:49
joejaxxthere is a certain structure to a debian repository08:49
joejaxxsynaptic is looking for it08:49
joejaxxand does not see it08:49
Simon80it sees it, the packages are used08:49
joejaxxnevermind i do not think you are going to get it08:50
Simon80you mean the dist stuff?08:50
joejaxxwhat i am trying to tell you08:50
Simon80thing is, if it's a valid line, and apt accepts it, synaptic accepts it, but that one dialog doesn't, I say the dialog is outnumbered08:50
Simon80go on though08:51
joejaxxit is not a valid line08:51
joejaxxthat is my point08:51
Simon80how so though?08:51
joejaxxok08:51
Simon80I mean, if you point to policy, fine08:51
Simon80I really should be asleep now though08:52
Simon80but don't worry, I'm not going to go through life not knowing how to set up a repo08:52
Simon80please do explain why the line's invalid though08:52
Simon80now that we've talked about it for a while08:52
joejaxxdeb ftp://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/mirror/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free08:53
joejaxxdeb-src ftp://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/mirror/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free08:53
Simon80mmhmm08:53
joejaxxthat is what synaptic is looking for08:53
joejaxxlet me explain08:53
Simon80I know08:53
Simon80you have the dist, and then any components08:53
joejaxxyes08:54
Simon80clearly this isn't the same format08:54
joejaxxexactly08:54
Simon80I'm sure that the simpler one working is no accident though08:54
joejaxxyour apt line should look like that08:54
joejaxxatleast have component1 and component208:54
Simon80like I said, different format, no accident08:55
joejaxxthere are ways to hacking and tricking things into working08:55
Simon80can't be an accident08:55
Simon80apt would asplode08:55
joejaxxlike the other day08:55
joejaxxi trick my i386 computer08:55
joejaxxinto downloading a PowerPC chroot08:55
joejaxxit worked08:55
joejaxxbut it is not supposed to be that way08:55
Simon80into downloading through apt? how?08:56
Simon80how is it a trick?08:56
joejaxxSimon80: you cannot download a PowerPC chroot on an intel computer08:56
joejaxxit checks your arch type08:56
joejaxxand downloads it accordingly08:56
Simon80you have to be specific, I could fie up wget and dl it08:56
Simon80so you mean for pbuilder?08:57
joejaxxno my jbuilder app08:57
joejaxxbut anyway08:57
Simon80but I mean, what is dling the chroots? how is this relevant? lol08:57
imbrandonthat deb line is valid syntax for apt, its just not the prefered way08:58
Simon80there we go08:58
Simon80that's what my position was08:58
Simon80no offense, joe08:58
joejaxxSimon80: like i said there is a reason synaptic does not accept your deb lines08:58
joejaxxlol08:58
Simon80I mean, I will figure out deb repos, but there's a time and place...08:58
Simon80synaptic accepts them though08:58
Simon80just the edit repo dialog doesn't08:59
joejaxxok08:59
Simon80you can add it, just not save the same line in the edit dialog08:59
joejaxxits what i whould call what i did lol a hack08:59
Simon80I dunno if I'd go so far08:59
Simon80it's at least half way though08:59
Simon80the repo's a hack, for sure, lol08:59
Simon80just outputted sources and packages to a flat dir08:59
joejaxxok lol09:00
minghuajoejaxx: I agree with imbrandon here, honestly I think that would be a bug in synaptic09:01
joejaxxlol09:01
Simon80in his defense, he may have misunderstood that synaptic was conflicting with itself there... I didn't make that clear, I just boasted that it confuses synaptic09:02
joejaxxno09:02

minghuajoejaxx: look a little down at the "Example 4. Two Trivial Repositories from my sources.list"09:14

joejaxxdeb-src file:///home/aisotton/rep-exact source/09:15

joejaxxyeah09:25
joejaxxthe whole line highlighted09:25
joejaxxwhen imbrandon said he was going to sleep09:26

rvalles12:49:37 < Burgundav> NM and my atheros card are not exactly a loving couple right now02:54
rvallesBurgundavia: tried NM a few weeks ago02:54
rvallesit doesn't seem to have a way to specify IP, netmask, gateway and DNS servers02:55
rvallesso it doesn't work on networks without DHCP02:55
StevenKrvalles: Correct.02:55
rvallesI don't understand why people are so much into NM02:55
rvalleswhen it doesn't even do this much02:55
crimsunit's largely dependent on the wifi chipset (and thus driver). n-m purportedly works wonderfully with ipw220002:56
rvallesso I went back to manually setting things up; I don't feel like installing dhcp at home...02:56
rvallescrimsun: that, too02:56
rvallescrimsun: it lacked support for most stuff in my zd1211 simply because it isn't in the database02:57
rvalleswhen it uses the standard wireless API of the kernel like the other in-kernel-tree wireless drivers02:57
rvalleson the other hand, it recognised another chipset I have there (crappy broadcom) just fine02:57
Hobbseeworks wonderfully with my two cards, with wpa, but i'm lucky02:58
Hobbseervalles: it's the only gui form of wpa encrypted wifi02:58
StevenKrvalles: It does ... funny stuff, like scan while associated.02:58
rvallesHobbsee: I know, and that's why I tried it02:59
rvallesHobbsee: too bad it supports WPA but doesn't support something as basic as assigning IP/mask/gw/DNS.02:59
Hobbseervalles: true.  feel free to write the support for it though02:59
Hobbseervalles: it's still quite new02:59
rvallesso I'm back to my small script for wpa_supplicant invocation...02:59
rvallesHobbsee: I guess I'll give it another try after a few months03:00
rvallesit seemed to me like a very good idea, but still on the early stages.03:00
rvalleshope the ati reverse engineering people make it so that X1100 and other integrated chipsets without local memory works03:01
