| crimsun | apw: any interest in extending buildscripts/build-mkschroot to work for Debian suites, too? I could push my tree. | 00:08 |

| apw | crimsun, why not indeed | 00:57 |

| matti | Quick question folks: is there a way of installing latest kernel from Lucid on 8.10? | 19:01 |
| matti | I've tried the PPA for kernel, but its empty ;] | 19:01 |
| dhillon-v10 | matti, I think that could break stuff, you may want to try that in a virtual machine | 19:01 |
| matti | Isn't the kernel quasi-agnostic? | 19:02 |
| crimsun | matti: of course, just manually install the debs | 19:02 |
| matti | I believe it should be fine, but I will use your advise ;] | 19:02 |
| crimsun | insert big fat disclaimer/caveat | 19:02 |
| matti | crimsun: I am not gonna complain in a case of issues. | 19:03 |
| matti | ;] | 19:03 |
| dhillon-v10 | crimsun, a quick question: won't the latest kernel break stuff in intrepid, i am just asking to get some information on this topic | 19:03 |
| matti | I always can build it myself using make-kpkg. | 19:04 |
| matti | dhillon-v10: Em. Actually. | 19:04 |
| matti | dhillon-v10: Interpid is still udev-bounded. | 19:04 |
| matti | dhillon-v10: Therefore it might actually be unhappy. | 19:04 |
| matti | ;] | 19:04 |
| matti | I wonder if backport is possible. | 19:05 |
| dhillon-v10 | matti, there are some great videos on youtube about making a custom kernel on debian based systems (ubuntu) let me get you the link for that, I have tried myself it works :D | 19:06 |
| matti | I have no problem compiling it from the vanilla. | 19:07 |
| matti | But I like the way how it is patched in Ubuntu. | 19:07 |
| matti | I've noticed, that an upstream bug has been resolved in almost-latest version available in Lucid. | 19:07 |
| matti | Hence, I wanted to upgrade ;] | 19:07 |
| dhillon-v10 | matti, ahh here you go, try it out and see what you get: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bH4H9cHPV2s&feature=channel that's part 1, part 2 will be in the related videos | 19:08 |
| matti | I have to finally put myself up and do some bug squashing and help in general with the Ubuntu development. | 19:09 |
| matti | dhillon-v10: Thanks! | 19:09 |
| matti | dhillon-v10: Interestingly, I am finding process of building .deb package a nightmare ;] | 19:09 |
| dhillon-v10 | matti, sure :D I actually got started with ubuntu development in this channel | 19:10 |
| dhillon-v10 | matti, packaging isn't too hard, over time you get the hang of it | 19:10 |
| matti | dhillon-v10: Granted. | 19:10 |
| matti | dhillon-v10: I am used to building .rpm because of my work. | 19:10 |
| matti | dhillon-v10: And it is really simple - I've found building .deb a little bit more complex - although both apt-get and aptitude are better than rpm package manager. | 19:11 |
| matti | dhillon-v10: Any advice on how to begin? | 19:11 |
| dhillon-v10 | matti, sure, you will have to do a lot of reading | 19:11 |
| dhillon-v10 | matti, what are you trying to package | 19:12 |
| matti | Nothing at the moment. | 19:12 |
| dhillon-v10 | matti, nice :D alright let's find something for you, just a sec. | 19:12 |
| matti | Perhaps I should backport vlc 1.0.x to Intrepid. | 19:13 |
| matti | Unless its already done. | 19:13 |
| dhillon-v10 | matti, you want to start out doing something smaller, I am not discouraging you but the amount of information you will find will be hard to keep up with | 19:13 |
| matti | ;] | 19:14 |
| matti | But it is not a rocket science, isnt it? ;] | 19:14 |
| dhillon-v10 | matti, here's an insanely long guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/packagingguide/C/index.html keep that for reference, Danial Holbach made some videos on packaging, let me get you the link for that as well | 19:14 |
| dhillon-v10 | matti, no its not rocket science otherwise I wouldn't get it | 19:15 |
| matti | You would ;] | 19:15 |
| matti | Nothing is impossible. | 19:15 |
| matti | ;] | 19:16 |
| dhillon-v10 | matti, alright here's another page, this one is long but you will have to read it, sorry: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete | 19:16 |
| matti | What do we use during build process? | 19:17 |
| matti | Makefile? Ant? Scons? | 19:17 |
| matti | Crazy to the level of n^n autoconf? | 19:17 |
| matti | ;] | 19:17 |
| dhillon-v10 | matti, nothing there's one common build process that applies to packaging a software written in any language | 19:18 |
| dhillon-v10 | matti, that makes Debian so awesome | 19:18 |
| matti | Quick question - side thing - is there a way for an aplication to be forced to re-connect to the Puleaudio sink? | 19:19 |
| dhillon-v10 | matti, not sure about that, I am learning about the sound base, right now I don't know much :D | 19:20 |
| dhillon-v10 | matti, alright here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Videos | 19:20 |
| matti | ;] | 19:22 |
| dhillon-v10 | matti, when you finish watching the videos you can then jump on to #ubuntu-motu and then ask on how to get started | 19:23 |
| matti | OK | 19:24 |
| matti | I am already spying there ;] | 19:24 |
| matti | dhillon-v10: Thank you very much for your help! | 19:25 |
| matti | dhillon-v10: Do you have Wiki page on ubuntu.com? | 19:25 |
| dhillon-v10 | matti, good luck and whenever you need me just /query dhillon-v10 | 19:25 |
| dhillon-v10 | matti, yah just a sec. | 19:25 |
| dhillon-v10 | matti, it needs to be updated: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/dhillonv/ will do that today | 19:26 |
| matti | Oh gosh. | 19:26 |
| matti | My FF just crashed ;] | 19:26 |
| * matti blames Adobe Flash. | 19:26 | |
| dhillon-v10 | matti, use chromium its really fast but in beta though never crashed until now | 19:27 |
| matti | Indeed it is. | 19:27 |
| matti | I am used to FF, hard to break old habits ;] | 19:27 |
| matti | Oh, you do not actually have feedback section in there ;] | 19:28 |
| dhillon-v10 | matti, just make one then lol :D | 19:30 |
| dhillon-v10 | matti, alright its there now | 19:31 |
| matti | Ops. | 19:35 |
| matti | I have conflicting entry ;] | 19:35 |
| matti | I was in process of adding one for you ;] | 19:35 |
| dhillon-v10 | matti, don't worry I'll fix it | 19:36 |
| matti | I can deal with it ;p | 19:38 |
| matti | - done. | 19:40 |
| matti | Hope you like it ;] | 19:40 |
| dhillon-v10 | matti, thanks a lot, now that you remind me, I need to get testimonials from other devs. as well :D | 19:41 |
