| cjwatson | superm1: we sync those files from Rosetta periodically | 10:25 |
|---|---|---|
| cjwatson | they're in the debian-installer source package as far as Rosetta is concerned (allows the whole installer to be translated in one place, theoretically) | 10:25 |

| xivulon | Hi all | 10:26 |
| xivulon | I have a few questions re lupin merge | 10:26 |
| xivulon | 1. What are the relevant branches to target? For initramfs-tools I found no dedicated branch in launchpad, shall I target the debian one? | 10:27 |
| xivulon | For the initrd of the alternate/live CD what are the appropriate branches (casper for the live?). | 10:28 |
| xivulon | 2. Shall I aim to apply the changes directly in the branches or create a separate package that adds loopmounted functionality to the initrd? | 10:29 |
| xivulon | Out of curiosity what is the role of debian-live in Ubuntu? | 10:30 |
| cjwatson | if there is no branch, then target the source package rather than working in bzr | 10:32 |
| cjwatson | see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallerDevelopment for alternate installer changes | 10:32 |
| cjwatson | casper has most of the interesting bits of the live initrd | 10:32 |
| cjwatson | I would recommend having the changes integrated directly where possible rather than messing with a separate package | 10:32 |
| cjwatson | note that I'm currently attempting to write a partman-auto-loop component that will supersede your partitioning changes; I need to talk with Evan about that here in London though | 10:33 |
| cjwatson | debian-live> we would like to work with them but aren't at present | 10:33 |
| xivulon | I am in London by the way | 10:33 |
| xivulon | if you want we can have a beer one day | 10:33 |
| xivulon | it's on me | 10:34 |
| cjwatson | oh, whereabouts? | 10:34 |
| xivulon | Victoria | 10:34 |
| cjwatson | the Canonical office is in Millbank Tower, near Pimlico, so very close | 10:34 |
| xivulon | I leave in Pimlico in fact | 10:34 |
| cjwatson | cool, maybe tomorrow evening? | 10:34 |
| xivulon | What time? | 10:35 |
| cjwatson | uh, dunno, ask me tomorrow ;-) | 10:35 |
| xivulon | will do | 10:35 |
| cjwatson | we tend to finish up around 6:30 | 10:35 |
| xivulon | I normally finish a bit later than that, but I'll try to go out at 6:30 tomorrow. | 10:35 |
| cjwatson | partman-auto-loop> I was also considering a different approach, but I think it's too much work to get done for gutsy | 10:35 |
| xivulon | partman changes are most welcome | 10:36 |
| xivulon | that was the most shameful part of lupin | 10:36 |
| cjwatson | basically extending the partman-auto recipe format to be able to handle multiple disks and teaching it about loop-mounting | 10:36 |
| cjwatson | the multi-disk work does need to get done eventually | 10:36 |
| cjwatson | but it's really hard | 10:36 |
| cjwatson | so I think for now it would be better to follow the lead of other partman-auto-* components and just hack it into place ... | 10:37 |
| cjwatson | I'm making progress slowly, hope to have something sketchy to show by the end of the week maybe | 10:37 |
| === superm1 [n=superm1@ubuntu/member/superm1] has joined #ubuntu-installer | ||
| xivulon | I was on the slow track myself, new addition to the family... | 10:40 |
| xivulon | Do the live and alternate ISO share the same initrd? | 10:43 |
| xivulon | I wouldn't think so | 10:44 |
| xivulon | Last q for today for all the windows expert among you: | 10:44 |
| xivulon | do you know about a reliable method to map a disk device in windows to a linux device (doing that from windows)? | 10:45 |
| xivulon | At the moment we use heuristic (we look for a particular filename in all partitions), but it would obviously be better to nail down the hosting device directly. | 10:45 |
| cjwatson | no, they don't - the alternate ISO's initrd doesn't even use initramfs-tools | 10:48 |
| === cjwatson <- totally not a Windows expert | ||
| xivulon | I though so ;P | 10:49 |
| xivulon | Shall I target the alternate ISO or the Live one, or in other words, is it realistic to have the preseeding in ubiquity by gutsy? | 10:50 |
| cjwatson | the live initrd *used* to be pretty similar to the alternate initrd in some ways, but that went away with the simplified-live-cd spec in casper 1.19 (dapper) | 10:50 |
| cjwatson | Evan's reporting good progress with preseeding in ubiquity | 10:50 |
| cjwatson | I'd stay flexible just for the sake of convenience; partman-auto-loop will work in alternate before it works in live, assuming it works at all :-) | 10:50 |
| xivulon | Basically I am not going to port any code in lupin.postinst (the part that skips partman and does its mkfs and fstab creation) | 10:52 |
| cjwatson | oh, drat, tomorrow evening isn't going to work | 10:53 |
| cjwatson | we're planning to go to see Spamalot then | 10:53 |
| cjwatson | maybe this evening will work out; I'll let you know later on | 10:53 |

| superm1 | evand, thanks, i did see that bg 119562 was fixed, but haven't determined how i'm going to approach redoing a few consequences of using restricted-manager to do things. After I sort out the current LIRC related issues, i'll revisit it | 05:44 |
| xivulon | evand do you want to do today around 7pm? | 05:47 |
| evand | sure | 05:51 |
| xivulon | I can come by Millbank Tower, we can meet you downstairs ~7, I have a black jacket and a cycling helmet | 06:14 |
