[01:15] <chrisj> cjwatson: ping
[01:16] <cjwatson> chrisj: pong
[01:18] <chrisj> I'm very familiar with creating bzr branches.  How would I create one for the partitioner work?  Can it be hosted on launchpad?
[01:19] <chrisj> I mean Im not familiar
[01:25] <chrisj> cjwatson: I've made a fair bit of progress so far on the horizontal bar widget.  You can add multiple partitions and small partitions have a minimum width.
[01:26] <cjwatson> first, check out the mainline branch
[01:26] <cjwatson> bzr get http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubiquity/trunk/
[01:27] <cjwatson> then branch your own copy (actually technically you've already done this by virtue of bzr get, but you probably want to keep a copy of mainline anyway)
[01:27] <cjwatson> bzr get trunk name-of-your-branch
[01:27] <cjwatson> then in your branch, bzr push sftp://bazaar.launchpad.net/~tortoise/ubiquity/name-of-your-branch
[01:27] <chrisj> ok, thanks
[01:28] <cjwatson> you'll need to bzr push after each commit
[01:28] <cjwatson> there's a way to set up a "checkout" which doesn't require you to push after each commit, if you like, but you don't have to
[01:55] <saispo> hi all
[02:21] <chrisj> cjwatson: ok, done.  I wasn't sure where to put it, the code is in frontend/partbar.py for now
[02:23] <cjwatson> it's easy to move it around later
[02:23] <cjwatson> thanks, I'll have a look
[02:33] <cjwatson> chrisj: not to be overly picky or anything, but could you make that be four-space indents and no tabs, please? :-)
[02:33] <chrisj> cjwatson: yeah, sure
[02:34] <chrisj> sorry, the code is a bit sketchy at the moment.  I was just trying to get something working first.
[02:34] <cjwatson> no worries
[02:35] <cjwatson> oh, I owe you an e-mail ...
[02:39] <cjwatson> ok, you have mail which I hope isn't too late
[04:15] <chrisj> cjwatson: um...are you sure you sent that email?
[04:48] <cjwatson> chrisj: yes, Message-ID: <20070213133837.GS18533@riva.ucam.org>
[04:48] <cjwatson> To: Chris Jones <cej105@soton.ac.uk>
[04:50] <chrisj> grrr dodgy uni email.  Could you try chris.e.jones@gmail.com? thanks
[05:25] <saispo> hi
[05:25] <saispo> cjwatson: how can i force this "E: Packages need to be removed but remove is disabled" with apt-install ?
[05:25] <saispo> --force-yes not working...
[05:28] <cjwatson> chrisj: bounced
[05:29] <cjwatson> saispo: um - arrange for packages not to need to be removed
[05:29] <cjwatson> saispo: apt-install isn't meant to do that
[05:29] <saispo> cjwatson: exim4 conflicts with ssmtp :/
[05:29] <cjwatson> saispo: if you absolutely can't arrange that, then remove --no-remove or whatever it is from apt-install
[05:29] <cjwatson> saispo: what's apt-installing either of those?
[05:29] <saispo> uucp
[05:29] <saispo> mailx
[05:30] <cjwatson> no, I mean what installer component
[05:30] <saispo> ubuntu-minimal
[05:30] <saispo> erf
[05:30] <saispo> a meta package i build :)
[05:30] <chrisj> odd the first email has come through now :S
[05:30] <cjwatson> saispo: I'd fix the metapackage, honestly
[05:30] <cjwatson> make your installation set consistent
[05:31] <saispo> on the base, ssmtp is installed
[05:31] <saispo> my metapackage want exim4
[05:31] <saispo> i use Conflicts and Replaces but not working :/
[05:33] <saispo> another idea is not to install mailx, uucp and ssmtp at base install
[05:34] <saispo> it's possible ?
[05:48] <cjwatson> given that they aren't installed in a regular Ubuntu installation, it's certainly possible
[05:48] <cjwatson> your changes are causing them to be installed ...
[05:48] <cjwatson> pn  ssmtp          <none>         (no description available)
[05:49] <saispo> ok
[05:49] <saispo> i will see why...
[05:49] <saispo> thks
[05:49] <saispo> my metapackage work with apt-get install but not apt-install...
[05:49] <saispo> i test with base-config/late_command
[05:50] <saispo> my last test are with preseed/late_command
[05:51] <cjwatson> base-config/late_command does not exist as of dapper
[05:51] <cjwatson> so don't bother
[05:52] <cjwatson> you're on the wrong track - fix the conflicting packages instead :)
[05:52] <cjwatson> when the tools are giving you warnings, it's best to address the warnings rather than find different tools
[05:53] <saispo> ok :)
[05:53] <saispo> thanks
