BenCCan anyone help me figure out why make is rm'ing a stamp file in my debian/rules?01:32
BenCI got a target that deps on a stampfile, which has a rule to do something, and touches the stamp file, but then make does "rm stampfile"01:33
=== ion_ tries to remember how to get rid of that...
ion_If "target-foo" is requested and "target-foo" depends on "target-bar", make may very well remove target-bar after target-foo has been created.01:35
BenCfoo-%: stamp-%01:36
BenC        @echo Made $*01:36
BenCstamp-%:01:36
BenC        touch $@01:36
BenCwith that Makefile, "make foo-temp" removed stamp-temp01:36
BenChow can I make it not do that?01:36
BenChmm, looks like I need ".PHONY: stamp-temp"01:38
BenCwhich sucks for a matching rule01:38
BenCwait, no, that just made it skip the rule01:39
ion_No, then stamp-temp is expected to be a rule that doesn't actually create a file stamp-temp.01:39
=== xtknight [n=xtknight@c-68-43-122-102.hsd1.mi.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
ion_.PRECIOUS : stamp-%01:41
ion_No, that isnt the correct one either.01:42
BenCseemed to work01:42
ion_Yes, but only as a side effect. It has a bit different semantics.01:43
BenCwell, .PRECIOUS: stamp-temp does01:43
ion_This should be the correct one: .SECONDARY : stamp-temp01:43
=== thepumpkin1979 [n=jhernand@190.72.175.241] has joined #ubuntu-devel
BenCanyway I can do the same thing without knowing what possible %'s there could be ahead of time?01:45
BenCstamp-% doesn't work, but stamp-temp does01:45
ion_.PRECIOUS means never delete the target, even if its build failed, .SECONDARY means even if this target is deemed to be intermediary, dont delete it.01:45
ion_intermediate even.01:46
ion_Try .SECONDARY :01:46
BenCah, that works01:46
BenCion_: big thanks01:46
ion_yw.01:46
BenCion_: got time for another question? :)01:49
ion_Sure.01:49
BenCfoo-%: stamp-%01:49
BenCstamp-%:01:49
BenC        touch $@01:49
BenCIf I just have that, "make foo-temp" says no rule to make target01:49
BenCI have to give commands for foo-%01:49
BenClike the echo I had before01:49
ion_Hmm01:50

pochu!ask02:42
ubotuDon't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)02:42
pochu:)02:42
EricBigi'm thinking to start a new project on uBuntu ... 02:42
EricBigin short, i want to hav a version of this that is usable for my mum02:42
EricBigbut im' not a programmer02:43
EricBigso i want to know how and where should i start02:43
EricBigsay to look for partners etc.02:43
pochuEricBig: ubuntu is usable by my grandma02:43
shawarmaYou need to figure out, why you believe it's not already usable by her.02:43
pochuso it should also be usable by your mother ;)02:43
=== jikanter [n=jordan@c-24-12-220-77.hsd1.il.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
shawarmaWhat's stopping her?02:44
EricBig3 words: two many buttons02:44
EricBigfor all the OS today02:44
EricBigi think a proper OS for grandma should hv less than say 10 buttons02:44
EricBigi want to make it like an internet kiosk or something like that02:44
EricBigand can run on very very old laptops02:44
EricBigsay pentum 2 300mhz + 64m ram equivilant02:45
shawarmaAn OS thatdoes less than 10 things seems rather useless to me.02:45
ChipzzEricBig: that's a no-go I think02:45
pochuthen try xubuntu?02:45
tonyyarussoEricBig: Xubuntu?02:45
pochu!xubuntu | EricBig 02:45
ubotuEricBig: xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of Gnome. For more info, see http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop". | For support, see #xubuntu | See also: !ubuntu and !xubuntu-channels02:45
ChipzzEricBig: I used to run debian (slimmed down) on a p2 233 with 64MB ram02:45
Chipzzand that's with a lot less daemons than ubuntu02:46
Chipzzdidn't work02:46
tonyyarusso64 megs is pretty slim, so if XFCE doesn't cut it try IceWM, fluxbox, enlightenment, or others02:46
Chipzzfirefox (or epiphany for that matter) just eats memory02:46
EricBigsorry. im really knew to uBuntu...  in fact, i'm a graduate student studying technology policy and one of the things i discovered along my research is that in general technology is too much for average ppl in terms of desktop computing02:46
Chipzzpochu: I doubt xubuntu would help much there ;)02:47
=== jg [n=jg@c-24-218-178-107.hsd1.ma.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
pochuChipzz: maybe msdos? :)02:47
EricBigi'm thinkin to hav an interface that only hav say 5-6 big buttons in the middle of it : E-mail, Web, Music, Movie that's it02:47
EricBigthanks ubotu, im checking xbuntu now02:48
EricBigthink about all the web 2.0 stuff and how google start to moving everything desektop into browser.02:48
ChipzzEricBig: ubotu is a bot, and doesn't care about you thanking him ;;)02:48
=== tonyyarusso thinks the problem here is people, not software
Chipzz+much02:49
EricBigits my first time in IRC, sorry for being an idiot02:49
ChipzzEricBig: no offence meant ;)02:49
pochuEricBig: we have always had a first time :)02:49
Chipzzpochu: on 64MB of RAM, even X + twm + firefox will grind to a halt pretty fast ;P02:50
tonyyarussodillo ?02:50
EricBigi'm thinkin to slim down everything ... 02:50
tonyyarussolinks2 -g?02:50
Chipzztonyyarusso: with proper javascript etc support.. ?02:50
EricBigmy ultimate goal is to challenge the OLPC project02:50
tonyyarussoChipzz: I think dillo can, not sure if links2 does or not02:50
EricBigso a slim-down version of uBuntu - which is still a decent OS (unlike the OLPC sugar, which i think is er... not so decent), to run on a very cheap hardware platform02:51
Chipzztonyyarusso: EricBig is referring I think to stuff like gmail etc; doubt that would work properly on anything except firefox/konq/opera02:51
tonyyarussoChipzz: You could probably compile Firefox with some options to make it less featureful but smaller02:52
EricBigis it ok to post a link for one of my blog entries here? is it against the channel rule?02:52
pochuor use epiphany02:52
=== jdong [n=jdong@ubuntu/member/jdong] has joined #ubuntu-devel
tonyyarussono idea what rules are here...not one of my usual realms02:53
EricBigtonnyy - that's basically what i 'm thinking, to recompile everything and kick-out features that will never use by old grandma02:53
Chipzztonyyarusso: still, IMHO firefox still grossly leaks a sh*tload of resources (like server-side pixmaps etc...)02:53
ChipzzI have my doubts how far you would get02:53
Chipzzand the mozilla developers refuse to acknowledge the problem and keeping referring to it as a "feature" doesn't help much :P02:54
Chipzzs/refuse/refusing/02:54
EricBigumm.. here's a post i wrote a while back: http://blog.sinnovate.net/2007/04/some-fundamental-thoughts-on-public-top.html 02:54
EricBigumm.. just want to ask, will IRC channel be a proper way to looking for developers that are willing to start a project ?02:57
bhalenot really02:57
bhaleyour call for help will be off the screen in a few minutes02:57
EricBigso where should i go ? any suggestions thx bhale.02:57
Chipzzbhale: arguably ;)02:57
EricBigmaybe forums / discussion boards? 02:57
bhaleif you'd like02:58
ChipzzEricBig: a lot depends on your timing; what bhale means is that irc is a very volatile medium ;)02:58
EricBigis there any place for discussions for new ideas / projects like mine in the ubuntu / linux community?02:58
bhalebut development is tracked on the wiki and launchpad02:58

ubotuSorry, I don't know anything about specs - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi02:59
bhaleubotu: you are dead to me.02:59
EricBigand, once i've come up with a Blue-print, where should I post it ---- that's the problem ... how uBuntu people normally deal with this03:01
bhalehttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeatureSpecifications03:01
ChipzzEricBig: btw, if I may say something; you're actually proposing 2 different things:03:02
Chipzz1) create a very simple GUI with only 6 buttons03:02
Chipzz2) create a distro that runs on 64MB of RAM03:02
EricBigChipzz: EXACTLY03:02
Chipzzmake sure to propose these as 2 different blueprints; they're 2 different and seperate goals03:03
EricBigand of course there is a way to get more buttoms out, say after entering admin username and pwd .03:03
Chipzzone which may be implemented a lot faster than the other03:03
EricBigi know, i think 1) is most important actually, and i guess you are saying 1) is easier right?03:04
Chipzzeasier, but not per se one that would be accepted03:04
EricBigbecause 2) is largely because of the hardware cost, which can be overcome by time & price drops03:04
Chipzzalso, 2) is something very general (reducing needed resources) which is a global goal which people are working on all the time03:05
EricBigbut my general feeling is the latest distro of uBuntu (7.x) is big and powerful, and it inevitiablly put more pressures on the hardware?03:06
Chipzznot necessarily correct03:06
EricBigor do you mean developers do the kernal optimization and feature adding at same time?03:06
=== Fujitsu finds it a little sad that jigdo can't be used to grab Feisty... The images refer to an old version of update-manager(-core) that isn't in the archive any more :(
EricBigso the weight doesnt jump up too quickly?03:06
Chipzzfor example, a lot of improvements have been made to pango, which makes font rendering faster03:06
FujitsuEricBig: It should be no more resource-intensive than 6.10.03:07
ChipzzEricBig: most of that kind of stuff is being done upstream anyway03:07
EricBigright. 03:07
EricBigchipzz, can i hav your contact method like an e-mail address? or does IRC support something like add buddy in ICQ? 03:09
ChipzzEricBig: I'm not really an ubuntu developper; mostly just lurking here ;)03:09
EricBigumm... i just need some one to help me start with.. coz i have been mostly working on user study and technology policy side and never touch the development field ...03:10
ion_ericbig: Has Ubuntu been called uBuntu somewhere? Im just curious.03:11
ChipzzEricBig: the best thing you can do actually is proposing blueprints really (after investigating their feasability)03:13
=== micahcowan [n=micahcow@ubuntu/member/micahcowan] has joined #ubuntu-devel
EricBigicon_ sorry im a mac user so got used to decaptialize first letter in every word :P03:14
micahcowanWhen is a simple patch preferable to a debdiff? For instance, in the case of packages that get heavy development and are either synced often or get frequent bugfixes, is it better to supply a plain diff and let the package maintainers decide how it should fall with ordering/package-version?03:14
ChipzzEricBig: the button idea is not a bad idea per se; but it has to fit in with what ubuntu developers think is a good idea03:14
ChipzzEricBig: but it's something that you could very easily implement with pygtk really; I'ld say about 100 lines of code03:15
EricBigChipzz: is Launchpad only for ubuntu or its for general opensource softare03:15
ChipzzEricBig: it's meant for general opensource software, but there aren't a lot of projects actually using it as such (though there are some)03:16
EricBigbut it's more thant that... because the less buttons you allows user to click, the 'smarter' the system must be, they will have to 'actively' understand what users want without asking users to click lots of buttons and enter too many lines of command03:16
EricBigChipzz: and it must not be annoying at the same time ( a bad example is the clippy in ms office)03:17
ChipzzEricBig: a good question you would have to ask yourself is: is the button interface actually needed, and why is it needed03:18
EricBigChipzz: things like WYSIWYG and drag-n-drop for everything is a must.03:18
=== mgalvin [n=mgalvin@ubuntu/member/mgalvin] has joined #ubuntu-devel
Chipzzbecause gnome goes to great lengths to create a very easy and non-complicated menu structure03:18
Chipzzif it fails to do that, maybe something is wrong with the gnome menu structure03:19
Chipzzso the right question to ask may not be: "do we need a buttons-interface?" but instead "what's wrong with the current menu so my mum can't find the email-program easily?"03:20
=== freeflying [n=freeflyi@ubuntu/member/freeflying] has joined #ubuntu-devel
EricBigChipzz: i think, if you mark down the buttons you click on a GUI OS, say windows, and their frequencies, you will discover for most of the time people are only using a Word Processor, music player, web browser, email client and chat-client. that makes other buttons less useful and a waste of desktop space and system resrouce03:20
ChipzzEricBig: there's the novell slab thingy, which keeps recently used menu entries in the 1st level menu like the windows xp menu does03:21

=== zerbero5 [n=jga@p85.212.41.54.tisdip.tiscali.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel
EricBigLineDroppChipzz: you mean the specs on launchpad right?03:26
ChipzzEricBigLineDropp: uhu03:26
ChipzzEricBigLineDropp: what I mean is, argue for why you're proposing something, consider alternatives, use cases, etc03:27
EricBigLineDroppChipzz: the philosophy behind is to make the GUI / OS as simple as possible, while sacrificing user's choices. For example, only allow user to use one e-mail client, say Thunderbird, and that's it. Although there might be pros and coins between different apps, average user won't care. the problem of today's mainstream OS is that there are too many options, too many configurations and too many things to03:27
EricBigLineDroppChipzz: there is nothing wrong for the existing menu structure, just they don't need to be there if most people don't use it for the most of the time.03:28
EricBigLineDropp<Chipzz> but anyway thanks a lot for the advice... i will go back and write a full spec / proposal and see what happens next.03:29

FlannelGuys, where is update-manager-core?05:03
FujitsuFlannel: The ISOs are inconsistent with the archive.05:03

=== freeflying [n=freeflyi@ubuntu/member/freeflying] has joined #ubuntu-devel
FlannelBesides the fact that the nav on top of that page points to the wiki page still, but that's a second bug05:06
wasabi__It's perhaps somewhat reasonable to think... which mirror of hte archive are you looking in, for instance.05:06
Fujitsuwasabi__: Indeed. a new update-manager was published for Kubuntu, which meant that the one in the Ubuntu ISOs was removed. That is wrong.05:06
wasabi__Oh, jigdo.05:06
wasabi__I see.05:06
wasabi__That does seem like an issue. Shouldn't a new upgrade to that go to -updates?05:07
Fujitsuwasabi__: No, because it was before Feisty was released, but after the latest Ubuntu ISOs were created.05:07
wasabi__So somebody needs to rebuild the ISOs?05:08
FujitsuISOs can't really be rebuilt at this stage.05:08

voraistosi bought a new laptop thinking mine was broken... I bought one from dell (didnt receive it yet), and i was just checking if ubuntu was running nice out of the box or not... when i found a huge thread about over heating issues. Strangely somebody described the same problem as i have.. The laptop crashes after a while, disk stops spinning because it seems the chipset fucked up. when i reboot the hdd is not detected anym05:11
voraistosore, and to use it right now i had to cap cpu freq at 600 mhz. Could this be kernel related ? or something else ?05:11
mjg59voraistos: Please file a bug, or if one already exists add a comment. This isn't the appropriate place to raise issues of this nature.05:12
voraistosi just want to know how to make this high priority ?05:12
wasabi__Things become high priority on their own.05:12
Fujitsuvoraistos: File a bug. It will be looked at.05:13
mjg59The appropriate developers will flag it as high priority if they think it's appropriate05:13

voraistosi dunno... you guys are the devs, maybe you heard about that :P05:14
voraistos(i mean the problem :) )05:14
FujitsuThat sounds like pretty stupid hardware if it dies like that.05:14

keescookpitti: yeah, I think fabbione just took my u-dev ml post and brought it up here.08:26
fabbionepitti: ubuntu-devel@08:26
pittiI don't see how to solve it without a gcc wrapper that is used by packages; after all, it *is* a different compiler (behaviour) than vanilla 'gcc'08:26
fabbionepitti: well it depends how you want to look at it08:26
pittifabbione: well, of course we can make gcc itself look for $DEB_BUILD_CFLAGS or so08:27
fabbionepitti: i think the biggest motivator to have a conf file is to avoid to set the default in gcc for testing08:27
fabbionepitti: that too...08:27
pittifabbione: ah, well, the conffile could check the environment if it is really a script08:27
pittifabbione: i. e. turn the environment into a gcc profile?08:27
fabbionepitti: that's my best guess from kees email08:27
=== tsmithe [n=toby@ubuntu/member/tsmithe] has joined #ubuntu-devel
jernstfabbione: by the way rdesktop is unasable currently so it can't be worst08:28
pittifabbione: right, we cannot hardcode those as defaults in the profile08:28
fabbionepitti: IMHO it can also be useful to archive rebuild.. like we decide to test -foo option.. we can do that without having to change gcc defaults and if it works, we will already know what packages will FTBFS and how.. it will allow a bunch of pre-testing options that at the moment can be more annoying to achieve08:29
fabbionepitti: never mind that we can also change the defaults without having to upload a gcc08:29
pittifabbione: right, you are preaching to the choir :)08:30
fabbionepitti: ehhe08:30
pittiI just wasn't sure how to connect the env vars to the gcc profile08:30
fabbionei see what kees wants.. we just need to make sure to implement it right at the first go08:30
fabbioneyeah that's what he is really asking08:30
ajmitchhey pitti 08:31
fabbionepitti: and given our previous experiences with gcc wrappers...08:31
pittifabbione: and then we need to plan that with Debian; there's no way that we can change 15.000 packages for it08:31
fabbionepitti: exactly08:31
pittifabbione: well, for testing it might be good enough to preliminary patch dpkg-buildpackage IMHO08:32
fabbioneit needs to be external to the packaging but still possible to override08:32
pittifabbione: i. e. have dpkg-buildpackage set those to our defaults08:32
fabbionepitti: planning with Debian means talking to doko.. so that's somehow easy :)08:33

FujitsuWon't it only be removed on another upload of it to Feisty's release pocket?08:36

FujitsuI thought it was changed to Superceded when a new upload occurred.08:36

Lathiatexcept that the source isnt on the default CD08:47
Lathiatso if you shipit me a cd...08:47
elmolifeless: yes, but that's independent of this discussion, and even that relies on the source reference counting08:47

elmothat's not going to scale well at all08:51
elmoas long as a binary is published on archive.ubuntu.com, there will be a valid (albeit unreferenced in Sources.gz) corresponding url for the source, also on archive.ubuntu.com08:51
Fujitsuelmo: In this case it isn't published any more, but is on ISOs.08:51
lifelesselmo: that wasn't the context at all :). It was about librarian garbage collection.08:52
pittielmo: original problem was that ubuntu CDs have an older version of update-manager than the kubuntu CDs, and the older version has gone from archive08:52

dokomvo: the question in 104716 to you was, if font packages should run fc-cache with or without the -s option12:17
cjwatsonMithrandir: hmm. should be possible to regenerate the jigdo somehow. I think. It's a lot easier when you're in the process of building the image ...12:18
=== Gman [i=gman@nat/sun/x-b5d6cd586ae375df] has joined #ubuntu-devel
cjwatsonour jigdo files are actually generated by mkisofs, y'see12:19
Mithrandircjwatson: yes, but we should be able to just download the ISO, point it at an up-to-date mirror and then generate the jigdo file the old way.12:19
Mithrandirand then replace it in the tree12:19
cjwatsonyeah, theoretically12:20
cjwatsonI'll give it a try12:20
mvodoko: I haven't investigated this closely but my gut-feeling is that "-s" is a good idea and that some of the failures with fonts are releasted to the fact that we don't use it12:20
Mithrandircheers.12:20
mvodoko: or rather, that some packages use it and some don't 12:21
cjwatsonTBH I'd almost rather figure out how to hex-edit it into the .template :)12:21
Mithrandircjwatson: ew.  I think just regenerating it is easier, and that's how it's traditionally done so I suspect it's not very error-prone?12:22
cjwatsonsurely it's just dd'ing update-manager-core and update-manager into the right place and removing them from the .jigdo12:22

robertjseb128: so how does that void creating samba users?04:31
robertjerr avoid 04:31
seb128robertj: it's done by nautilus-sendto using net usershare04:33
seb128if your user is member of the samba group it can add samba shares04:33
seb128and require an username and password for them04:33
robertjyes, thats fine but what about other users that need to access it04:33
seb128?04:33
seb128give them the username and password you used04:34
robertjseb128: is that per-share?04:34
seb128I need to look on how it works exactly04:35
seb128but it should be04:35
seb128the usual way you share thing is right click on a directory and share it04:35
robertjseb128: the problem is if you try to enforce permissions samba can't auth users without you giving them per-user passwords again04:36
robertjand most orgs won't get by with per-share passwords04:36
robertjand without that you have fundamentally the same problems as you have with a security = share samba share04:37
seb128what is wrong with having a password for a share?04:38
robertjseb128: because then you end up needing two interfaces for medium businesses and home users04:38
seb128what do medium businesses need?04:38
robertjthey need each user to have their own password so you can log access04:39
robertjand medium-large businesses also need a structure that integrated with their SSO, which pam gives you for free04:39
robertjso if you have pam hash smb passwords you can join your smb machine to ads or samba4 and everyone will live happily ever after04:40
seb128so you basically want to add every system user to the samba users list?04:40
robertjseb128: sorry i confused that a bit04:40
robertjup until the point you join a directory04:40
robertjso before then I do want to add every user04:40
seb128k04:41
robertjand if you use authtool to switch to a directory then you would want it to edit that portion of pam out04:41
robertjso the big win is if you have a decidedly medium business04:41
seb128I mentioned samba shares on the list of things that would be nice to fix next cycle04:41
seb128so I guess we will discuss it at next UDS04:42
robertjand you have a computer with 6 users on it04:42
robertjand you think "ok, I want to make the spreadsheet available to my employees, but be able to tell if someone screws up who it was"04:42
robertjso if the smb users are auto-created you can add samba through Add/Remove and the only thing you need to do is uncomment the homes directory and add writabe = yes and restart samba04:43
robertjand you don't have to call mary in from home to put in her password, and you don't have to ask mary what her password is, or give her another password04:43
robertjand if you add another 30-50 users you don't have to keep dual-entering passwords, or syncing passwords, or end up sharing a password with 50 users04:44
robertjworst-case scenario...you turn that machine into a directory server that doesn't04:46
robertjdoesn't run SMB, and you end up with a million hashed passwords you don't need, but that's really far-fetched ;)04:46

micahcowanWhat happens, release+1 development-wise, after a launch? Is a straight copy-over of feisty to gutsy repositories done, and when is that usually finished (and gutsy repos opened, and development can begin)?05:33
Hobbseemicahcowan: pretty much.  the first stuff is the toolchain, but they started doing that towards the end of feisty, so it should get done quicker05:34
micahcowanHobbsee, what constitutes the toolchain? I'm assuming all of core and universe are carried over at some point (and then later potentially merged with Debian)05:35
Hobbseemicahcowan: the stuff in build-essential, and the stuff marked as essential05:35
Hobbseethe really core stuff05:35

Hobbseei thoguht it all counted05:38
Hobbseebah.  it's not 2am yet.  wake him up.05:38
micahcowanDoes development for gutsy usually start out as simply pbuilder stuff, then (since most of the OS isn't there yet), and if so, when does it tend to move to actual development within the OS itself?05:38
cjwatsonthe OS is there, we have feisty05:38
cjwatsonfeisty gets copied to gutsy to start with05:39
Hobbseemicahcowan: yes, although there are hacks for pbuilder for testing that things work.  as soon as it's stablish, people will move to gutsy05:39
micahcowanokay, that's part of what I'm asking.05:39
micahcowanThat's been accomplished already (the copying)?05:39
cjwatsonyes, that was done a few hours back05:39
cjwatsonarchive.ubuntu.com is being hammered though so it hasn't been successfully mirrored yet05:40
pochuAnd is the repo opened? :)05:40
robertjseb128: do we wanna have one big monolithic spec for samba integration though if we can do smaller specs that don't block?05:40
cjwatsonpochu: still frozen until the toolchain is in05:40
pochucjwatson: k, ty05:40
cjwatsonfear not, it'll be announced ;)05:40
robertjbtw, anyone got throughput stats on archive?05:40
seb128robertj: having a spec doesn't seem to be too complicated05:40
seb128robertj: we can describe several changes to do on it05:41
micahcowanDo a lot of devels tend to have installs of both the current (for usability) and next (for devel) releases on their machines? Or do many devs tend to prefer virtual machine installs for the devel until it gets dependable?05:41
cjwatsonit should work once the buildd chroots are created, but we prefer to get the toolchain through first so that we don't have to have stuff rebuilt05:41
micahcowan(Sorry if I'm asking a volume of questions more common to a six-year-old child; guess I just never followed this train of thought before)05:41
cjwatsona virtual machine install sounds like a lot of effort, I wouldn't bother with that05:42
cjwatsonsome folks dual-boot, some just go all-out and trust to ability to recover :)05:42
micahcowancjwatson, I'd do the latter, but the rest of my family probably wouldn't appreciate it when things break :)05:42
cjwatsonI tend to go all-out because working on the installer tends to give you plenty of experience with putting systems together from the ground up05:42
micahcowanOTOH, I don't think I bothered with a separate /home partition, so that'd need adjusting...05:43
cjwatsonyou don't actually need to run gutsy in order to work on it for the initial round of merges, but it does help to be able to test at least some things05:43
robertjseb128: its not the spec, its finding people to implement it that's the hard part ;)05:43
micahcowanSure: you could pbuild all the way 'til release; but you can't find what's actually broken without running it :)05:44
cjwatsonquite so05:44
seb128robertj: well, the work is the same if you split it or not05:44
=== jdong [n=jdong@ubuntu/member/jdong] has joined #ubuntu-devel
robertjseb128: then i'd say manage perceptions and spec small weekend-sized tasks :)05:46
micahcowanI'd like to see pbuilder installed with setup for multiple distros by default, so you don't have to go through the manual setup anymore. I may write a spec to that effect.05:46
Hobbseemicahcowan: it's already got example docs on how to do that05:46
seb128robertj: let's discuss what we wants to do, then we can split tasks, etc05:47
pittiargh, forgot to sub to gutsy-changes@05:47
micahcowanHobbsee, yes, I know: but it shouldn't. It should be a couple lines in the shell, instead of copying a (buggy: I just made some adjustments on the wiki) script and copying/editing files: it's all automatable, and it's not like it's a corner use-case05:47
micahcowanBTW: I'm planning on replying to the "texlive" post on ubuntu-devel-discuss; but I wasn't sure if ubuntu-motu might be more a appropriate forum to which to move it?05:50
Hobbseemicahcowan: *shrug*05:50
Hobbseemicahcowan: both are developers stuff, devel-discuss tends to ahve the crack filled ideas05:50
robertjseb128: ok, this is anathema, but here is another question, is there some way we could ask users if they wanted to open shares admin if they add it through add/remove/05:50
micahcowanI'll leave it there, then.05:51

sharmsI am not quite sure, its complicated because it is a windows program ran through wine, so it just needs a comport, and then I have a device which is networked which is hooked up to the actual device08:18
kylemwhat you're saying is that you have a device on a network, and a windows program that exposes a serial interface to the device console (over the network)08:19
kylemyou likely need a windows .dll for that.08:19
