twbCan the live CD (i.e. casper) auto-detect the timezone from nearby machines?00:01
twbCurrently, it seems to be turning the NTP server's 12:15+1100 into 12:15+0000 (i.e. GMT, but wrong by eleven hours).00:01
twbHmm, it seems that live-initramfs has timezone support, but hardy's casper doesn't :-(00:09

TheMusocjwatson: I don't know if you have seen pitti's email re the minutes from our meeting last week, but he thinks we need to talk to the support team re dmraid, to make sure they know whats going on if we choose to ship it, knowing the functionality issues that it has.12:31
TheMusoI'm just wondering where to from here. Should I contact that team and discuss it with them?12:31

superm1yeah that's a much better solution...14:53
superm1unfortunately rolling a new 7.10 disk is a lot more trouble than its worth at this time.  having it in 8.04 will be sufficient14:57

cjwatson(or does it?)20:23
evandit doesn't20:23
evandoh20:24
evandI'm getting my revnos confused20:24
evandbecause the other frontends don't actually end up calling the base frontend function20:24
evandthey pull the data from the UI20:24
cjwatsonah, ok20:24
cjwatsonalso, perhaps an execute_root helper is called for20:24
cjwatsonmaybe the base frontend implementation should be fixed, since it'll basically never work when required20:25
evandwill do.20:26
CIA-24ubiquity: evand * r2535 ubiquity/ (3 files in 2 dirs): Moved the get_oem_id fix to the base frontend so that other frontends can take advantage of it.20:36

cjwatsonI wonder if clear_partitions is missing a couple of checks for partman files21:11
cjwatsonhmm, yeah21:11
evandhrm21:39
cjwatsonI think have a fix, I'm just doing a merge first21:40

evandlooking now21:50
cjwatsoncompare with partman-basicmethods/choose_method/dont_use/21:51
evandah, indeed21:55
evandthank you21:55
cjwatsonI was wondering if anything else should be checked, but haven't thought of anything yet21:56
cjwatson                        if $(echo "$mp" | grep -wqs "^/$x$") || $(echo "$mp" | grep -qws "^/$x/*"); then22:00
cjwatsonshould that be .* at the end? I'm not quite sure what that regex is trying to check22:00
cjwatsonusing -w seems a bit odd there too22:01
cjwatsonerr, and surely $(... | grep -q) is always false; did you mean to use (...) rather than $(...)?22:01
cjwatsonhmm, not false, just a little odd to use command substitution when you only want the exit code22:02
evandAll points are correct.  I think the second point was a copy and paste mistake.  Not a direct copy and paste, though.  Have you already made the changes, or shall I?22:07
evandand the regex is checking to see if the mountpoint is one of those listed or is a subdirectory of one of those listed.22:09
evandI couldn't think of a way to do that in a single grep at the time, but if you know of a cleaner, more readable approach, by all means substitute it in.22:10
cjwatsongo ahead and make them22:10
evandalready on it22:10
cjwatsonthe easiest approach sounds like egrep -q "^/$x(\$|/)"22:11
evandah, fantastic22:12
cjwatsonof course, /* checks for zero or more slashes, rather than slash followed by zero or more characters :)22:12
evandheh22:13
cjwatsonone last problem I noticed is that stat isn't compiled into busybox-udeb22:14
evandegrep -qs, no?22:14
evandah, hrm.22:14
cjwatson-qs if you like but I don't think it's needed; when reading from a pipe the input file is not going to be nonexistent or unreadable22:14
evandshould I work around that or is it small enough to be included in the busybox deb?22:15
cjwatsonI think you should probably change busybox to add it22:15
evand -qs> ah, indeed.  I'll leave it as -q to avoid confusion.22:15
cjwatsondebian/config-udeb, CONFIG_STAT and CONFIG_FEATURE_STAT_FORMAT22:15
cjwatson(there is a tool to edit those files but for small changes I tend to just do it by hand)22:16

cjwatsonevand: looks like that tree is unbound; can you push it?22:19
cjwatson(sorry for nagging if you were about to do so)22:19
evandshould be already done.  Try again and let me know if you're still not getting it22:21
evandBut yes, caught that it was unbound shortly after committing and bound it.22:21
* evand wishes that was stored in .bazaar/locations.conf so it was easier to notice22:21
cjwatsongot it, thanks22:25
cjwatsonyou don't need the subshell for a single pipeline in the if condition22:25
cjwatsonfor two pipelines combined with || I would certainly use it for clarity22:26
evandwhoops, I knew that, I apparently just wasn't paying close attention.  I'll fix that momentarily, thanks for catching it.22:27
