| mn | Hello all of launchpad. I would need to check the suitability of a project for launchpad. Anyone there who could help? | 03:19 |
|---|---|---|
| mn | s//would | 03:20 |
| mn | ping BjornT | 03:21 |
| mn | ping: NextHop__ | 03:24 |
| Hobbsee | mn: you probably won't get an answer today, it's still a public holiday in a lot of placs. | 03:29 |
| Hobbsee | *places | 03:29 |
| mn | Hobbsee: that's true. maybe you could help? | 03:29 |
| Hobbsee | mn: possibly, but somewhat unlikely | 03:30 |
| mn | I am proposing a project that would be dedicated to creating packages for making Ubuntu a clone of the latest windows operating system and .iso live/install CDs of these clones. Is this a suitable project? | 03:32 |
| * Hobbsee blinks | 03:33 | |
| mn | lol | 03:33 |
| Hobbsee | it probably is | 03:33 |
| mn | :D I hope | 03:33 |
| Hobbsee | although i have absolutely no idea of how you intend to go about doing that | 03:33 |
| mn | Hobbsee: Why? | 03:42 |
| RAOF_ | Hobbsee: Merry Christmas, incidentally. | 03:44 |
| Hobbsee | RAOF_: merry christmas to you too! | 03:44 |
| persia | mn, Have you considered ReactOS? Might be better to help there than to start a new project. | 03:45 |
| mn | persia: haven't even heard of it. I will check it though. Do you think my project would be acceptable though? | 03:46 |
| persia | mn, As a concept, if it's free software, yes. I wouldn't expect you to be successful in making Ubuntu a Windows clone due to kernel differences: ReactOS is really the project you want to chase. | 03:47 |
| RAOF_ | Since you don't know, ReactOS is basically a lower-level version of the Wine project; it's building an open-source Windows. | 03:48 |
| Hobbsee | oh, interesting! | 03:49 |
| * Hobbsee wonders how successful it is | 03:49 | |
| * RAOF_ points at Wine as a likely proxy. | 03:49 | |
| mn | persia: I want a GUI clone. I am shooting for a Ubuntu OS with the GUI of the latest Windows OS | 03:49 |
| RAOF_ | Mmm, delicious Margaret River wine! | 03:50 |
| * Hobbsee notes there used to be an XP theme for kde. | 03:50 | |
| Hobbsee | (community done) | 03:50 |
| persia | mn, You don't need a project for that: just use the right KDE theme (which probably already exists). | 03:50 |
| mn | persia: I have several packages installed in Gnome which make the GUI of Vista. I want a project with a single package and install script to make the transition easier. I also want the project to make .iso liveCDs with installation. Fruitless project? | 03:52 |
| persia | mn, Mostly. | 03:54 |
| mn | Ah, well I guess I'll try it | 03:54 |
| persia | Having a meta-package in Ubuntu is probably a better way to manage the installation of stuff. | 03:54 |
| persia | LP won't build isos, so you'd need your own infrastructure for that. | 03:54 |
| mn | persia: how would I go about the meta-package for ubuntu? | 04:00 |
| persia | mn, That's really more a question for #ubuntu-motu, but you'd probably want to start by looking at some of the existing metapackages. | 04:00 |
| mn | mk ty | 04:01 |

| ramvi | How do I upload a binary, a deb, pre-compiled, to a launchpad PPA? I don't have a .changes file | 15:05 |
| pmjdebruijn | ramvi: you don't | 15:08 |
| pmjdebruijn | ramvi: the whole point of PPA, is that it compiles your sources packages in a clean environment, for both i386 _and_ amd64 | 15:09 |
| ramvi | what if I have my own repository. how do I upoload a precompiled deb? | 15:09 |
| pmjdebruijn | ramvi: your own repository is your own problem... PPA doesn't have anything do to with your own repositories | 15:09 |
| pmjdebruijn | ramvi: settings up your own repository is a whole different matter | 15:10 |
| pmjdebruijn | lo, is there a way to see what hwtest-gtk sends to launchpad? | 16:30 |
| NCommander | pmjdebruijn, yeah, there is a URL /+hwdb or something like that | 16:34 |
| pmjdebruijn | it seems that's only for uploading... | 16:38 |
