seb128slytherin, that's the second time you ask on IRC, any reason it should hijack things waiting for longer in the queue?08:51

seb128ok, so no need to ping people for regular tasks, they are done often enough usually08:52
seb128and no need to be sorry that's ok, that's just that people know about those and if they don't do it that's because they are busy or on holidays, etc08:53

directhex<meebey> Subject: mono_2.4.2.3+dfsg-1_i386.changes is NEW09:03
seb128directhex, cool!09:04
directhexseb128, includes a few little patches too, which ought to allow some more interesting things to run (e.g. ironruby). also includes the fixes to stop needless libmono0 inclusion on the CDs09:05
seb128directhex, are you going to prepare an upload for karmic? ;-)09:06
directhexseb128, i don't think binary NEW is too slow at the moment in debian, so i'd rather wait & sync (saves a layer of archive admin time, if anything, getting ftpmaster to check instead). i have a month before i need to do that icky FFe paperwork anyway09:07

arandLaserJock: well, it's libgoffice that is patched so yes, I guess... There was a comment on no necessity of adding goffice since it was contained in gnumeric, so I just went by that and left libgoffice as "invalid" witout arguing.'18:29
LaserJockI think that's wrong, goffice is a separate source package18:30
arandBut goffice is a separate package, so I'd personally say that'd be more correct... yea, exactly.18:30

mathiazknoob: 7.04 is end-of-lifed - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades for an upgrade process.21:40
knoobmathiaz: that's the tutorial that i'm talking about21:40
knoobwhen I run ./gutsy it does stuff for a while, then quits out on two 404 errors21:41
knoobcan I paste the error here?21:42
mathiazknoob: it's probably because gusty is also end-of-lifed21:43
mathiazknoob: look at the section about edgy->feisty upgrade21:43
mathiazknoob: and you'll to adapt it to do a feisty->gutsy upgrade21:44
knoobok i'll read that, thank you21:44
mathiazknoob: the 404 error is because the gutsy script is trying to use archive.ubuntu.com to retrieve the Packages.gz and Sources.gz.21:44
mathiazknoob: since gutsy is EOL, it has been moved to old-releases.ubuntu.com21:44
knoobno it's trying tog et http://free.linux.hp.com/~brett ... etc21:45
mathiazknoob: thus the gutsy script probably needs to be patched the same way to use old-releases.ubuntu.com21:45
knoobi'm still reading 6.10-7.0421:45
knoobmathiaz: Could you help me understand the patch job? I create the patch file and did sudo patch, but I got a Hunk #1 error21:51
knoobeven if I change all existences of archive.ubuntu to old-releases.ubuntu, the gutsy installation still looks for http://free.linux.hp.com/~brett21:55
mathiazknoob: did you had an custom entry in sources.list?21:58
mathiazknoob: http://free.linux.hp.com/ doesn't look like a standard mirror21:58
knoobmathiaz: i'll check... this wasn't my machine until a few weeks ago21:59

knoobmathiaz: i added # before those two lines and it seems to have helped... upgrade is still running22:04
