geserthp: what kind of update?11:55
thpa new upstream version of a package that fixes lots of bugs in the version that is currently available in hardy (gpodder)11:56
geserthe best approach would be through a hardy-backport (if the new version is already in intrepid)11:58
geserhuats: if you interested: rrdtool (main) needs a merge (for the perl 5.10 transition)12:04

emgenthello19:24
\shoh prague is coming home19:25
devfilhi emgent!19:28
emgentYeah \sh :)19:43
sebner\sh: why weren't you in prague? I think it will never be so near in the near feature19:59
\shsebner, time contraints20:00
\shsebner, I have to earn money :)20:00
sebner\sh: what a pitty20:00
sebner\sh: bah money ^^. btw, why is gentoo bad on servers? ^^20:00
\shoh...I have to repeat my speech from 2006 ;)20:01
sebner\sh: was using XP at that time :P20:01
\shsebner, gentoo will never have a real "stable release" as we know it from rh, deb, ubu, suse20:01
pwnguinheh, i just cleaned up the office in my mom's house and found a gentoo installer from 200220:02
sebner\sh: this sucks for servers but on the desktop it's the best you can do. Damn ubuntu :P20:02
\shgentoo is dynamic...which is good for a source based distro...20:02
\shsebner, no it sucks20:02
\shsebner, you sit the whole day and compile software but you don't use it20:02
sebner\sh: argh. only bleeding edge is rue20:02
sebner\sh: ah gentoo. ok ^^20:02
pwnguinwith gentoo, you can't really hold off on updates for very long20:02
directhexgentoo doesn't need a bugzilla though - if someone reports a bug, just update the package, and say the bug is invalid because it was filed against an old version!20:03
\shindeed, gentoo is nice for software people who needs the latest software for their development...20:03
\shbut for stability and reliabilty gentoo is wrong20:03
\shI was blind these days...I'll pray that I'll never do such a mistake again...never ever promised20:04
\shlol20:04
pwnguinoh the other hand, our cluster admin enjoys gentoo20:06
directhexpwnguin, lies20:06
pwnguinlots of CPUs mounted on an NFS boot saves a bit on that whole compile thing20:06
pwnguincompiles the kernel in 26 seconds it does20:07
directhexwho in their right mind uses gentoo on a cluster?20:07
pwnguininstead of?20:07
directhexsomething with some actual support - from both the vendor and the guys making third party apps like abaqus20:09
pwnguinna20:09
pwnguinits academic20:10
pwnguinthe whole department's servers run gentoo anyways20:10
directhexmadness :|20:10
pwnguinaccording to the sysadmins, the dept's needs were too demanding for debian20:11
pwnguintoo many "please install this software i wrote" etc20:11
directhexstill madness!20:11
pwnguinprobably20:11
pwnguinon the other hand, they didnt have to expire two years worth of ssh keys20:12
\shpwnguin, they don't know it yet ,-)20:12
pwnguindirecthex: im sure theres a redhat server somewhere running oracle20:13
pwnguinbut for the most part, the dept supports itself it seems20:13
\shgentoo has its reasons to be there...and I'm thankful for people who ran and used gentoo...they are known to put away more pain and are not children anymore20:14
directhexi like vendor support. being able to send them core dumps & say "it breaks, fix it!" is a better situation that feeling around in the dark20:14
\shdirecthex, do that with adobe20:15
pwnguindefine vendor20:15
pwnguinadobe?20:15
pwnguindell?20:15
directhexpwnguin, sgi, dell, people like that20:15
\sh"Dear Adobe, your FMS3 doesn't honour your umask settings...even if it says different"20:15
pwnguinwell, the company they buy hardware for does that20:15
pwnguinfor "linux"20:15
pwnguini dont know the details, but i know they've been back and forth about hardware support a few times20:16
\shanyways...I'm the only one, at least in the company of this customer, who had the experience with gentoo...and I was wrong to believe they could learn the gentoo ways these days...now they know the confixx way of doing things, and I'm fcked, because I have to fix the shit20:20
\shthat's why gentoo was a sin...and I have to be punished for that20:20
pwnguin\sh: it's probably a bit different with a campus Computer Science department with a large gentoo user base in the LUG20:21
\shpwnguin, yes...as I said, gentoo needs to be there...I'm not blaming gentoo for my mistake :)20:22
\shI blame myself20:22
\shit cost me again hours of my life...20:22
\shlucky i've been, two years ago, this company had still 7 gentoo servers of me ;) they replaced 6 of them with centos , because they don't want to pay RHEL money ;)20:23
\shbut this one...the whole mail infrastructure , incoming and outgoing :( they are frightened to replace this server, too...and yesterday somewhat around midday their harddrives were 100% full ;)20:24
pwnguinanyways, i think the main campus computing services uses solaris for the paid support20:25

Gralcoits just when i went through the package managing guide i got lost22:38
norsettosebner: because, what good to the distro is having stuff which is broken and unmaintained?22:39
sebnernorsetto: broken and unmaintained? If that's true and you are right with your package and forget thing22:40
sebnernorsetto: but I thought they were busy developing and getting it into ubuntu as important part22:43
