[11:54] <salty-horse> hi. any main sponsors around?
[18:21] <renergy> the fonts look now as in ubuntu! thanks a lot!
[18:22] <renergy> the "cleartype" use flag in cairo did the trick
[18:25] <renergy> uh, sorry - that belonged to #gentoo-desktop
[18:45] <hyperair> lol
[18:45] <hyperair> you know ubuntu is where you belong when you customize your <insert distro here> installation to be like ubuntu.
[18:48] <renergy> hyperair: thanks for the info, but I politely disagree with you - I think I would not have found the info about the relevant use flag at #ubuntu
[18:48] <hyperair> of course you wouldn't
[18:48] <dobey> ubuntu doesn't have 'use flags'
[18:48] <renergy> indeed :-)
[18:48] <hyperair> precisely
[18:49] <hyperair> but my statement comes from my time with archlinux
[18:49] <renergy> ah
[18:49] <hyperair> i recompiled a few parts of my system to be like ubuntu =p
[18:49] <hyperair> yeah so it's rather pointless switching after all
[18:49] <hyperair> in my case
[18:51] <renergy> well actually it's somehow similar in my case - I switched from ubuntu to gentoo, and I'm now tuning the gentoo to look like ubuntu :)
[18:51] <hyperair> hah see =p
[18:52] <hyperair> well it's always worth the experience, but you might find yourself back in ubuntu someday ;)
[18:52] <hyperair> that's how it was for me
[18:52] <renergy> yeah that's what I'm writing - it's not pointless I would say - one get the knowledge how the system works, more with gentoo than with ubuntu
[18:53]  * hyperair nods
[18:53] <renergy> actually in my case it's also somehow "back to roots" - the first distro I had was slackware, back in 1997 or so - updated it by hand at that time, and rather quickly ran into what is called "dependency hell"
[18:53] <hyperair> well i have this belief that the package manager is the heart of every distro. learn to package, and you'll learn more about the distro =p
[18:54] <hyperair> dependency hell eh. i've never encountered that, thanks to apt and it's sudoku-solving capabilities =p
[18:54] <renergy> it's now rather pleasent surprise just to watch how the gentoo (emerge, portage) is beatifully doing automagically what I have done by hands before :)
[18:55] <hyperair> heh
[21:46] <Ampelbein> hi seb128, had you had a chance to look at bug #346591 ?
[21:46] <seb128> Ampelbein: hi, no it's sunday and I've been travelling today
[21:46] <Ampelbein> that's ok.
[21:47] <Ampelbein> you don't have to work on sundays, just saw you online here and thought asking could not be wrong.
[21:47] <seb128> yeah sure, I'm just saying I didn't look into it yet ;-)
[21:48] <seb128> I'll do that this week, the archive is frozen right now and I don't want to chase people to get exception today
[21:49] <Ampelbein> thats fine, i think. gnome 2.26.1 is weeks away.
[21:49] <seb128> indeed
[21:49] <seb128> 3 weeks
[22:11] <dobey> hrmm, i wonder what the best way to do this is
[22:13] <dobey> downloading a couple gigs of data in a postinst is probably not a good idea
[22:14] <pochu> what is 'this'?
[22:15] <dobey> installing neverwinter nights (and expansion packs) game data
[22:15] <pochu> are they non-free?
[22:15] <dobey> yes
[22:17] <pochu> even for multiverse I guess...
[22:25] <dobey> meh, the patch to the latest version is 506M for en
