majoridioti have no idea what else might have been done.05:25

majoridiotit was fine in windows... for what i needed it for.07:35
majoridiotbut i switched to nvidia after 3 weeks of this tripe last summer07:35

majoridiotthey should probably be posted soon07:58
superm1i remember doing all this with the edgy pages :)07:58
superm1its amazing how much you catch time after time07:58
majoridiotit's amazing how much will stay the same since you have the packages sewn up so sweetly07:58
superm1i changed up the troubleshooting page earlier07:59
superm1to reflect how things should be with regard to group membership etc07:59
majoridiotyeah... i checked that.  major revisions.08:00
majoridiothopefully those days are winding to a close08:00
superm1yes08:01
majoridiotit will be nice to be able to move onto helping specific configurations instead of just getting the basic one functioning08:01
majoridiot:)08:01
superm1we gonna be ready for putting these on the front page Thur you think ?08:02
majoridioti think so08:02
majoridiotunless you find something completely out of line that i missed08:03

majoridiotafaic they are good to go when you say so08:03
superm1havent yet08:03
superm1if i will, i will for sure let you know08:03

majoridiotat the top of the feisty_top menu under a "what's new"08:11
majoridiothttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV/FeistyTop08:11

juskijust FYI guys I've heard that the video wasn't taken in the light it was intended, so I've taken it down.  Didn't mean to offend or upset anybody - was only poking fun at folks who can't be bothered to do their research - the shouty, screamy helpless noobs who don't listen.  Wasn't meant to be a dig at ubuntu or the fine work of the packagers10:14

superm1keescook, just wanted to touch bases with you since i didnt catch you again yesterday07:36
=== varka [n=varkatop@p54a5dc2e.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-mythtv
keescooksuperm1: yeah, I meant to get to testing stuff, but I just haven't had the time yet.07:36
superm1is there any other freezes coming up before release that could prevent these from getting in if you dont get around to it (should I ping another MOTU to look it over like imbrandon)07:37
keescookThursday might be another freeze; never hurts to ping imbrandon.  :)07:40
superm1he's just impossible to get ahold of for an extended period of time sometimes :)07:41
superm1i07:42
superm1'll put the HD home run patch in07:42
superm1and make sure things still build fine07:42
superm1and then make a debdiff,07:42
superm1probably easier for any other MOTU to look over changes then07:42
keescookawsome, thanks.  Can you test that one, too?  It seems like it adds some stuff to the mpeg2 handlers, regardless of hdhomerun-ness07:42
superm1i'll have to build it for dapper then too (my backend is dapper), but sure that shouldn't be too much trouble07:43
superm1keescook, one more thing before i let you scurry back off to canonical stuff07:43
keescook:) sure07:43
superm1there is a lot of interest for 0.20-fixes packages that are more closely tracked to the 0.20-fixes branch07:44
superm1do you think its a safe idea to have a weekly cron job on imbrandon's server once things are going07:44
superm1that will do a checkout and automatically build a deb07:44
superm1for those that want it?07:44
superm1(well, deb(s))07:44
keescooksure, that's a great idea; it can give us a sense of how stable the branch is, to support requests for doing -updates uploads.  :)07:45
superm1okay, i'll look into how difficult assembling such a script for the cron job is, i don't anticipate it to be horrible07:45
superm1lots and lots to do all of a sudden :)07:45
superm1keescook, i'll catch up with you later hten07:46
