RainCTpersia: but then I have to add it to the several files for each architecture (whereas in debian/control it only needs to be added once), or?00:03
RainCTWell, I'm off..00:12
RainCTpersia: Thanks. (Feel free to send me a memo if you fell like answering my last question :))00:13
RainCTgood night all00:13

terlihow do you cat FROM a terminal's input to a file?02:15
tbrockhey guys I'm looking for a developer mentor02:23
tbrockor someone to point me in the right direction to get started02:24
tbrockand i was hoping this was the place02:24
tbrockanyone around? i know its a friday night but... haha02:28
Adri2000tbrock: please join #ubuntu-motu02:29
tbrockoh thanks02:42
tbrockapologies02:42
cjwatsonterli: assuming you start cat from the terminal in question, then surely its standard input will already be the same as the terminal's input, so you just need 'cat >file' or 'cat >>file' (depending on whether you want overwrite or append)03:15
terliok cjwatson let me run this simple script on you03:25
terlicolaudio(){ cat | > XTR;}03:25
terlicataudio(){ echo "$XTR" > /dev/audio; echo "$XTR";}03:25
terliwhile [ true ]03:25
terlido03:25
terlicolaudio; cataudio;03:25
terlidone03:25
terlithat is the sum and the square of my insanity.03:25
cjwatsonterli: I'm not sure what you think "cat | > XTR" is supposed to do, and the following line seems to suggest that you're confusing files and variables. Furthermore 'while [ true ]' is a strange way to say 'while true'03:30
terliit was in the manual *sheepish*03:31
terliI was originally using [ 1=1 ]03:31
terlimy question is how to run the script, add input while script is running, and have the script process the input03:32
cjwatson[ anything ] means "is 'anything' a string of non-zero length"03:32
cjwatsonyou might need a better manual ...03:32
cjwatsonperhaps what you are looking for is replacing that whole script with 'tee /dev/audio'?03:33
terliomg03:34
terliwhere did that come from!?!?03:34
cjwatsonassuming that I've understood what you're trying to do correctly (a program that takes its standard input and writes it both to its standard output and /dev/audio"03:34
cjwatson)03:34
terlio yes its just supposed to echo my noisy typing to dev/audio03:34
=== RAOF_ is now known as RAOF__
cjwatsonif you don't need to write it to its standard output as well, you could just say 'cat >/dev/audio'03:34
ebroderBe careful with tee - it does do some buffering of some sort03:35
terliwell that command works but I cant hear it03:35
cjwatsonthere's no need for all that complicated cat/echo stuff which isn't going to do anything like what you want anyway03:35
=== RAOF__ is now known as RAOF
ebroderterli: Try just using cat >/dev/audio if you can survive without seeing it; there might be buffering happening03:35
terliI can't hear it like that either03:36
terliits sending everything to a second buffer03:36
cjwatsonif you really want to do line-at-a-time stuff and strictly avoid buffering, then a working translation would be 'while true; do read line; echo "$line" >/dev/audio; echo "$line"; done' - but if you can't hear it when you type at 'cat >/dev/audio' directly then you have a lower-level problem03:36
terlithere is ONE issue03:38
terliI'm hacking on parallels03:38
terliand I had to copy bash onto bin03:38
terliI mean bash onto sh03:38
cjwatsonthat's a bug in whatever script can't cope with /bin/sh not being bash03:39
cjwatsonhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh03:39
terlisudo mv /bin/sh /bin/sh.old && sudo ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh is the command I had to run03:39

isle85Hi, need help to build a debian/watch file for my package. its name is :  genj-arvernes_2008.12.26-0ubuntu1_all.deb11:10
directhexisle85, and what's the url for the orig.tar.gz for that deb?11:12
isle85I wrote that in it :11:12
isle85version=311:12
isle85http://www.arvernes.com/files/genj_classic/genj-arvernes-(.*)\.tar\.gz11:12
directhexthat wasn't technically the question. i asked the url for the tar.gz, not the contents of your watchfile11:15
isle85sorry : http://www.arvernes.com/files/genj_classic/11:15
directhexhttp://www.arvernes.com/files/genj_classic/genj-arvernes-2008.12.26.tar.gz11:17
directhexThe requested URL /files/genj_classic/genj-arvernes-2008.12.26.tar.gz was not found on this server.11:17
isle85maybe my mistake as I named genj-arvernes-2008.12.26.tar.gz as genj-arvernes-2008.12.26.orig.tar.gz11:19
directhexsigh.11:19
=== asac_ is now known as asac
directhexlook, i'm not trying to irrutate here, but there seems to be some kind of barrier going on. a watch file needs to know the exact path of the file to download for a specific version. when i say "what's the url for the orig.tar.gz for that deb" i literally mean "what's the full url to the file you download and rename as genj-arvernes_2008.12.26.orig.tar.gz"11:20
directhexalso, this is for #ubuntu-motu, not #ubuntu-devel11:20
isle85sorry directhex. Thank you for helping.11:21
directhexas an example, a watch file saying "  http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/sources/mono-basic/ mono-basic-([.\d]+)\.tar\.bz2" is used to download http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/sources/mono-basic/mono-basic-2.0.tar.bz211:23
isle85ok, understood. Thanks11:23
directhexas far as i can tell, that upstream doesn't even have versioned source tarballs11:24
isle85I'm totally new to that, and I tried to help to distribute a program people here write. I've been successfull to build an ubuntu package, now I would like to make it easier for people to be up to date with it. I'm learning , sorry.11:25
directhexthe path to the source seems to be http://www.arvernes.com/V1/pages/compteur_dl.php?/files/genj_classic/genj_src.zip11:26
directhexbut that's unversioned AND requires repacking from zip11:27
isle85hmm, now the file is there : http://www.arvernes.com/files/genj_classic/ubuntu/genj-arvernes-2008.12.26.tar.gz11:30
directhexyou seem to have picked an inordinately complex example to build a watch file for11:36
isle85I've downloaded lots of source files, and try to find out and understand the way it works looking into them11:37
directhexthat orig can't be used as-is, it contains an enormous quantity of binaries, which aren't permitted in source tarballs11:37
directhexalso, this is for #ubuntu-motu, not #ubuntu-devel11:38
isle85ok, I'm gonna join that chanel. thank you directhex.11:39
