| cybydude | :) hi folks! | 16:03 |
| davmor2 | Hello | 16:07 |
| cybydude | hi cjwatson | 16:16 |
| cybydude | greets tp all | 16:16 |
| cybydude | i mean greets to all | 16:16 |
| cybydude | basically, am trying to develop an integrated installer for a customised version of slax | 16:16 |
| cybydude | i found ubiquity sort of approach very ideal | 16:16 |
| cybydude | especially the partioning part | 16:16 |
| cybydude | so i was wondering, how do i go about compiling it | 16:17 |
| cybydude | and customising it | 16:17 |
| cjwatson | well, start by learning how to build Debian-format source packages in general | 16:19 |
| cjwatson | the debuild(1) tool in the devscripts package is a reasonable starting point | 16:20 |
| cjwatson | ubiquity is really really STRONGLY dependent on other things in Ubuntu though | 16:20 |
| cjwatson | so you may find it pretty difficult going if the underlying distribution differs much at all | 16:20 |
| cjwatson | there's a doc/README file in the ubiquity source package with some initial guidance | 16:20 |
| cybydude | thanks a lot for the information. i had gone through the the README and a couple of wiki articles. | 16:21 |
| cybydude | atleast to begin with, can u please tell me how to compile ubiquity from source in jaunty | 16:22 |
| cjwatson | I thought I just did | 16:22 |
| cjwatson | get the source package and use the debuild tool | 16:22 |
| cybydude | sorry. i tried ./configure and ended up with error | 16:22 |
| cjwatson | yeah, don't do that :) | 16:22 |
| cybydude | regarding pygtk2 not being found tha | 16:22 |
| cjwatson | 'sudo apt-get build-dep ubiquity' will help ... but (unfortunately) you still can't build ubiquity using the traditional ./configure && make approach, sorry. you have to use the Debian build system for it | 16:23 |
| cybydude | ok. i think i got it. | 16:23 |
| cjwatson | I realise it's confusing because it looks as though you can build it like that | 16:23 |
| cybydude | if u dont mind , can u briefly mention how do we go about using the debian build system - any link / pointer would do. | 16:24 |
| cjwatson | debuild | 16:24 |
| cybydude | ok. | 16:24 |
| cjwatson | it's in the devscripts package, and it has a manual page | 16:24 |
| cjwatson | you probably want to use 'debuild -b' to build just binaries, and to avoid | 16:25 |
| cjwatson | err, ignore "and to avoid" | 16:25 |
| cybydude | thanks a lot for your time. one last question - is it possible to only build a part of ubiquity - for eg just partioning | 16:25 |
| cjwatson | afraid not, it's pretty monolithic | 16:25 |
| cjwatson | it'd be a lot of work to split that out | 16:25 |
| cybydude | thanks. | 16:26 |
| cybydude | any other better way u can think of - for my probs (slax installer)? | 16:26 |
| cjwatson | ubiquity builds on "d-i", the Debian installer, which is very modular; but most of the UI is implemented in the ubiquity layer, and not in a modular way | 16:26 |
| cjwatson | distributions tend to build installers themselves, IME :-) | 16:27 |
| cjwatson | the reusability is mostly in things like libparted | 16:27 |
| cjwatson | I'm not sure this is the way it ought to be, but it seems to be the way it is at the moment | 16:27 |
| cybydude | thanks a lot cj. | 16:27 |
| cjwatson | sorry I can't help further | 16:27 |
| cybydude | very kind of you to have spared ur time. | 16:27 |
| cybydude | good day to you. | 16:27 |
| cjwatson | if you wanted to get ubiquity running exactly as-is, you'd probably have to start by getting a live CD working with casper or something extremely similar, and also get debconf ported | 16:36 |
| cjwatson | ubiquity kind of expects dpkg and apt at the moment, so you'd need to port from that if you're using a different package management system, and figure out how to get progress information and such through | 16:37 |
| cjwatson | the build system is inextricably wedded to debhelper | 16:37 |
| cjwatson | things like console keymap setup and the like would need to be ported to whatever your target uses - it might actually be easiest to keep on using console-setup in ubiquity and maybe just have it spit out different files on the target system if that's needed | 16:38 |
| cjwatson | the partitioner might actually be one of the easiest bits, although in order to use it you'd have to figure out how to port the rest | 16:39 |
| cjwatson | definitely a head-scratcher until you've made yourself very familiar with debconf though :- | 16:39 |
| cjwatson | :-) | 16:39 |
| cjwatson | cybydude: ^- | 16:39 |

| NCommander | cjwatson, I have a patch for libdebian-installer on SPARC (to resolve the FTBFS), although I'm not sure if I should also fix the fputs lines as well (they don't trigger a warning, but they look wrong to me unchecked) | 19:20 |
| NCommander | https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libdebian-installer/+bug/369439 | 19:20 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 369439 in libdebian-installer "Please merge SPARC FTBFS fixes onto libdebian-installer" [Undecided,New] | 19:20 |
| alex_joni | if I create a custom apt source list (located in /etc/apt/sources.list.d) on the LiveCD, does it get copied over on the installed CD? | 19:49 |
| alex_joni | (I found that it did, but can't quite locate where this happens. and since I have used a /usr/lib/ubiquity/apt-setup/generators/* custom generator, I ended up with twice the info) | 19:49 |
| alex_joni | should I just remove the generator I wrote, and trust that the file from sources.list.d/ gets copied over every time? | 19:50 |
| cjwatson | NCommander: no, please don't | 22:20 |
| NCommander | cjwatson, ? | 22:20 |
| cjwatson | NCommander: I intentionally removed the fwrite checks because (a) they're horribly ugly and (b) current glibc no longer needs them - the reason that libdebian-installer FTBFS on sparc is that glibc hasn't built on sparc for the last three revisions | 22:20 |
| NCommander | Oh | 22:21 |
| cjwatson | so the right thing to do is to fix glibc | 22:21 |
| cjwatson | alex_joni: if the file is in the live filesystem, it'll get copied along with everything else | 22:21 |
| NCommander | cjwatson, ew, sorry, I was unaware that glibc was FTBFSing :-/ | 22:22 |
| cjwatson | NCommander: I mentioned it on IRC a few days ago and tried to highlight you, I think | 22:22 |
| NCommander | cjwatson, must have missed the ping :-/ | 22:23 |
| cjwatson | NCommander: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2009/04/28/%23ubuntu-devel.html and search for glibc | 22:23 |
| NCommander | cjwatson, completely missed that ping | 22:24 |
| CIA-4 | netcfg: cjwatson * r636 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 1.48ubuntu1 | 22:35 |
| alex_joni | cjwatson: cool, thanks | 22:47 |
| cjwatson | alex_joni: of course if you don't want it to be copied then there are ways around it, but it sounds as if this is actually the best behaviour from your POV | 22:52 |
| alex_joni | yup, it is | 22:53 |
| alex_joni | around dapper I wasn't aware of the sources.list.d, so I added a apt-setup generator | 22:53 |
| alex_joni | and on hardy I did the same as for dapper :) | 22:53 |
| CIA-4 | rootskel: cjwatson * r341 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 1.76ubuntu1 | 23:36 |
| alex_joni | cjwatson: thanks again, I'll test the fresh CD tomorrow, but I bet it works as it should | 23:51 |
