cjwatsondear console-setup, please build more quickly, love Colin02:05
stgraber:)02:06
cjwatsonstgraber: preseed apt-setup/use_mirror to false, I think02:09
stgrabercjwatson: thanks, I'll try02:10
cjwatsontepsipakki: you're sure you're prepared for the massive mail volume that ubuntu-installer gets (all ubiquity bugs, for instance)?02:47
tepsipakkihmm02:47
tepsipakkiI knew there was a catch ;)02:47
cjwatsonyou've sent patches before so I'm fine with adding you, but you'll probably want to set up filtering02:47
tepsipakkiall bugmail go to a specific folder02:48
tepsipakkibut maybe I should add another for those02:48
cjwatsonI have02:48
cjwatson:0:02:48
cjwatson* ^X-Launchpad-Bug: distribution=ubuntu;.*sourcepackage=ubiquity02:48
cjwatsonubuntu/bugs-ubiquity02:48
tepsipakkiyep, I'll write a rule for sieve in a minute, so I'm fine with it :)02:49
tepsipakkido you mind me looking at some of the pending merges?02:49
tepsipakkilike rootskel02:49
tepsipakkijust to keep them in sync02:51

cjwatsontepsipakki: you'd need to be in ubuntu-core-dev ...03:01
cjwatsontepsipakki: in principle I don't mind, but most of those packages are maintained in bzr and it's usually just as easy for somebody in ubuntu-core-dev to bzr merge directly as to review and merge somebody else's bzr merge03:02
cjwatsonunless the merge is very complicated03:02
tepsipakkiah, ok03:03
cjwatsonI would, however, like there to be somebody else in ubuntu-core-dev willing to take care of a chunk of the installer merge work03:03
tepsipakki:)03:03
cjwatsonso if that's something you want to help with, I'd support it03:03
tepsipakkito get in core-dev?-)03:03
tepsipakkiI'm not even -dev yet03:03
cjwatsonyeah, it might take a while03:04
tepsipakkibut I've done some minor merges and stuff to get some credibility ;)03:04
=== cjwatson merges rootskel
cjwatsonbut yeah, the merge load is something that can be spread out relatively easily, and as long as you're reasonably careful it's a good way to get an idea of the sorts of changes made to the installer in Ubuntu03:08
tepsipakkiyep03:09
tepsipakkihmm, you could maybe add some links to the /topic03:10
tepsipakkilike, this one http://people.debian.org/~fjp/talks/debconf6/paper/03:10
tepsipakkiit's a good reference, and seen it here pasted quite often ;)03:11

cjwatsonhow's that? links to fjp's paper03:13
tepsipakkiyes, works03:13
cjwatsonI'm trying to get the CIA bot in here too to track commits, but Micah hasn't answered my mail yet03:13

tepsipakkihmm, how can I run multiple commands with in-target, does it accept parentheses?04:44
tepsipakkimaybe I'll just shove them in a script04:45
cjwatsonit ends up doing:04:52
cjwatsonlog-output -t in-target chroot /target "$@" || ERRCODE=$?04:52
cjwatsonso you can use sh -c '...'04:52
cjwatsonsh -c 'foo; bar; baz' or whatever04:53
tepsipakkiok, thanks04:55
tepsipakkijust noticed that it failed04:55
tepsipakkiI could also just put the scripts in finish-install.d :)04:57
cjwatsonthat works too, though you might want to chain to in-target from those05:01
tepsipakkihow's that?05:08
tepsipakkierror handling?05:08
cjwatsontepsipakki: in-target deals with debconf plumbing, so if you need to install packages it's best to use in-target05:24
tepsipakkiah, right05:27
