| bcurtiswx_ | what might stop debdiff from working ? | 01:19 |
| bcurtiswx_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/483168/ | 01:20 |
| persia | bcurtiswx_, That's very unexpected. Maybe try a update of that environment, in case there's some odd skew? | 01:22 |
| steve|m | hi.. does anybody know why the btrfs support for the alternate installer has gone in the current daily image? | 01:23 |
| bcurtiswx_ | persia, you mean upgrade the OS? | 01:24 |
| * bcurtiswx_ is, anyway | 01:25 | |
| persia | bcurtiswx_, I hadn't meant an upgrade, just an update. If you're mid-upgrade, then you might have caused skew that would generate that. | 01:26 |
| bcurtiswx_ | persia, I am, <crosses fingers> thx | 01:26 |
| persia | Aha, then that's it :) You've swapped the library under devscripts, and apt allowed this because you're doing a larger upgrade. | 01:27 |
| bcurtiswx_ | persia, I mean, i am updating. It is maverick so <shrugs> | 01:27 |
| bcurtiswx_ | i wasn't mid update. unless i missed something and needed a -f | 01:27 |
| bcurtiswx_ | but it should take care of it now anyways i believe if that was it | 01:28 |
| persia | Hrm. That's a narrower case then. But yeah, get updated, try again, and if it's still broken, try to narrow when it breaks :) | 01:28 |
| bcurtiswx_ | maybe a --reinstall will help if this doesn't do it | 01:30 |
| * bcurtiswx_ goes to reboot due to kernel update | 01:30 | |
| bcurtiswx_ | which package is debdiff a part of? | 01:34 |
| bcurtiswx_ | ah ha | 01:35 |
| * bcurtiswx_ learned apt-cache search | 01:35 | |
| persia | dpkg -S is also useful... | 01:35 |
| bcurtiswx_ | persia: would the fact that i'm using debuild -S on maverick trying to upgrade a lucid package cause it? | 01:36 |
| * bcurtiswx_ still has the debdiff issue | 01:36 | |
| persia | Shouldn't. | 01:36 |
| persia | Although, depending on the change in the build-deps, and the things that run at source-build-time, you may want to take care with building lucid source packages on maverick. | 01:37 |
| bcurtiswx_ | persia, what do you mean by take care? | 01:38 |
| persia | For example, if your package runs something in the clean: rule (e.g. copying config.{guess,sub}), and it runs locally on your maverick system, the results may differ from that run on a lucid system, which can potentially affect how a package ends up building on the buildds. This is rare, but it's worth being sure you know the changes in your tools (especially debhelper, CDBS if you use it, etc.) | 01:40 |
| bcurtiswx_ | Steps done so far: grab tar.gz from debian, rename .orig.tar.gz, unpack, copy debian/ from previous version, i had to remove a patch that faied because I believe its fixed in the changes to the new package, | 01:41 |
| bcurtiswx_ | i've debuild -S successfully, i've pbuilder-dist lucid successfully | 01:41 |
| bcurtiswx_ | i was trying to debdiff for the SRU request, but it doesn't want to work :( | 01:41 |
| bcurtiswx_ | pbuilder-lucid build successfull.. sorry if that was confusing | 01:43 |
| * bcurtiswx_ will start again, maybe i'll notice something | 01:47 | |
| persia | I wouldn't. there's no point there, really. | 01:48 |
| persia | But in general, 1) debdiff isn't very useful for new upstream versions and 2) if you're using a tar.gz from Debian, you'd do better to do a merge, rather than a new upstream upload. | 01:49 |
| steve|m | okay, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20100823/ is the last available build with enabled btrfs in the alternate-installer | 01:51 |
| bcurtiswx_ | persia, how would I do a merge? | 01:59 |
| bcurtiswx_ | maybe i know, but didn't know it was a merge | 01:59 |
| persia | Workflows differ, but the idea is to start from the Debian package for the upstream version you want, and patch it to contain any useful fixes from the Ubuntu package, update the changelog to give appropriate credit for everything, and ensure that you have identified the Ubuntu delta to make it easier for the next merger. | 02:01 |
| persia | If you use debdiffs, the interesting debdiff is typically that between the Debian version on which you're basing and your proposed version. | 02:02 |
| persia | You may want to ask in #ubuntu-desktop for more specific instructions, as there are some additional preferred workflow actions for working on empathy. | 02:02 |
| bcurtiswx_ | persia: OK thx | 02:03 |
| ion | The merge function in a decent VCS may automate a portion of the merge. | 02:04 |
| persia | Indeed, although it depends on whether one can construct branches that are apparently compatible for merge. | 02:07 |

| persia | bcurtiswx_, I can't do anything with that, but I'm glad you got debdiff to work. That said, I find debdiffs of that nature completely useless, and always request folks to upload the new diff.gz instead (although this works less well for Format: 3.0 packages) | 02:51 |
| persia | My recommendation would be to work with the #ubuntu-desktop folk to update their bzr branches, and seek a sponsor, perhaps by subscribing ~ubuntu-sponsors. | 02:52 |
| bcurtiswx_ | i can do that if needed :) i greatly appreciate your help, thx persia | 02:52 |

| papertigers | RAOF: Thanks! | 03:57 |
| bcurtiswx_ | g'nite all | 03:57 |
| papertigers | RAOF: gonna release and android app to control rhythmbox :) | 03:58 |
| RAOF | papertigers: I'd look into mpris, then. | 03:58 |
| RAOF | That'll cover all the major players in Ubuntu. | 03:58 |
| papertigers | RAOF: but then how could I connect to it? If I make a rhythmbox plugin I can create a socket for local wifi control | 04:00 |
| RAOF | Hm. There's a control protocol… DACP (and Apple's extensions to it which drive iTunes)? From memory there's a GSoC implementing it in Rhythmbox. | 04:01 |
| papertigers | RAOF: hmm wonder if that would be better | 04:04 |
| papertigers | RAOF: looks like a guy is working on DACP for rhythmbox and has applied to get a patch approved | 04:10 |
| RAOF | There's your winner. | 04:10 |
| papertigers | RAOF: well its a waiting game for it to get included | 04:13 |

| pitti | ari-tczew: see my question on the bug -- this doesn't look like the kind of thing that we should fix in jaunty now IMHO | 08:47 |
| ari-tczew | pitti: listen, someone reported the bug, give the patch for fix, so someone is waiting for resolve problem. I spent time on this, so I look forward for upload. | 08:49 |
| persia | Still needs a rationale on the bug, regardless of the final decision. | 08:50 |
| pitti | we have an SRU policy for a reason, though | 08:50 |
| pitti | we already stretch the scope of SRUs quite high for lucid, with it being an LTS and still pretty fresh and all that | 08:51 |
| pitti | but for jaunty we don't get a lot of testing any more, so chances of getting regression reports are very close to 0 | 08:51 |
| pitti | and this isn't a data loss/security/etc. class of thing | 08:51 |
| ari-tczew | pitti: I tested package and it works | 08:51 |
| ari-tczew | pitti: what about karmic? it's freshly than jaunty | 08:52 |
| pitti | ari-tczew: I can be talked into karmic, although it's also outside the SRU criteria | 08:52 |
| pitti | and once LP starts working again for me, I'll continue SRU stuff | 08:53 |
| ari-tczew | pitti: do you know, that this is funny? | 08:53 |
| pitti | seems it broke for me some minutes ago, pages are utterly distorted | 08:53 |
| wgrant | pitti: edge update broke CSS. Fix in progress. | 08:54 |
| wgrant | Should be fixed in a few minutes, otherwise use production. | 08:55 |

| geser | how many +1 does a MIR need? one or more? | 08:55 |
| wgrant | production should never have been broken. | 08:55 |

| ari-tczew | and again I wasted my time | 08:57 |
| pitti | ari-tczew: no, it's not comedy, it's how stuff works, sorry | 08:57 |
| Chipzz | ari-tczew: there's an SRU policy for good reasons | 08:58 |
| pitti | ari-tczew: there's always a nonzero regression potential, just look at the wxwidgets disaster from yesterday | 08:58 |
| pitti | which was a no-change rebuild | 08:58 |
| wgrant | pitti: Fixed now. | 08:59 |
| pitti | those rules weren't made out of thin air, we learned them the really hard way | 08:59 |
| pitti | wgrant: cheers | 08:59 |
| pitti | ari-tczew: and your work wasn't wasted -- after all, it does get fixed at least in lucid | 08:59 |
| ari-tczew | pitti: wow! but I spent 4 hours for adjusting patch to karmic and jaunty | 09:00 |
| Chipzz | pitti: otoh, if it was broken before, a patch to fix it can hardly make it worse ;) | 09:00 |
| pitti | Chipzz: well, that's pretty much what I was asking for -- a rationale why it needs to/should be fixed in jaunty/karmic | 09:01 |
| Chipzz | ari-tczew: 4 hours? seriously? how does adding 2 lines to file take up 4 hours? :) | 09:01 |
| pitti | Chipzz: it's not at all clear to me that the package is entirely broken -- it might work for other use cases than the one in the bug | 09:01 |
| persia | Chipzz, But the "package is completely broken" rationale for SRU was dropped in the most recent policy update (likely due to painful experience). | 09:01 |
| pitti | and I can't know the details of all packages | 09:01 |
| pitti | so if someone explains that the jaunty package is totally useless, then the regression potential is 0 | 09:02 |
| ari-tczew | Chipzz: you didn't working on it, so please hold on - saying culturally | 09:02 |
| maco | persia: does "it ftbfs anyway" still count? | 09:02 |
| * pitti points out that he didn't say "no way" in the bug, but "why?" | 09:02 | |
| Chipzz | maco: except it doesn't (I think)? | 09:02 |
| maco | Chipzz: im just asking for future reference, not related to your thing | 09:03 |
| persia | maco, Last time I read the page (a rew minutes ago), FTBFS was listed, but "completely broken" was gone. I haven't been following SRU policy changes closely though. | 09:03 |
| Chipzz | maco: ari-tczew' thing, not mine :) | 09:03 |
| * persia cheers pitti for requesting rationales, so people *understand* why they get updates. | 09:03 | |
| ari-tczew | pitti: could you update SRU policy in wiki including text: ok, please working on bugs, this is very important, but your patch won't be accepted, because SRU is unecessary | 09:03 |
| ari-tczew | pitti: enough reason for me is someone is waiting for this | 09:04 |
| ari-tczew | and you can see this in bug | 09:04 |
| Chipzz | ari-tczew: why are they waiting for a fix in an ubuntu release that's neither LTS nor up to date? | 09:04 |
| pitti | ari-tczew: the SRU policy already points out very clearly when to do an SRU; also, please read what I just said | 09:05 |
| maco | persia: now i wonder how "completely broken" was defined, because ftbfs was my definition | 09:05 |
| ari-tczew | Chipzz: I don't know. I only want help. | 09:05 |
| Laney | while we're on SRUs, could 539814 be sponsored/accepted? :) | 09:05 |
| pitti | ari-tczew: I asked for a rationale and a regression potential analysis on the bug, I didn't say "no" outright | 09:05 |
| pitti | maco: no, FTBFS is far from "completely broken" -- the archive will have the previous binaries | 09:05 |
| directhex | i don't think that's ever useful. if it can't be built, how can people exercise their right to modify it? | 09:06 |
| maco | pitti: mmm i was thinking "if it doesnt even build, you cant make it any worse" | 09:06 |
| pitti | maco: oh, sure you can :) | 09:06 |
| pitti | directhex: well, obviously it is a problem | 09:06 |
| pitti | but saying that fixing an FTBFS will never cause regressions is wrong | 09:07 |
| persia | maco, Completely broken used to include stuff like fails-to-run, due to incomplete library transition, etc. I think the lucid-supportibility spec just removed all the binary packages we didn't know about it, so the number of fails-to-work packages ought be fairly small now. | 09:07 |
| directhex | anyone in the mood for a security fix? hot off the presses | 09:08 |
| ari-tczew | pitti: okay, well done. you fine demotivated me. I won't prepare any SRU anymore. it's non-sense. | 09:08 |
| pitti | ari-tczew: frankly, I don't quite understand your reaction | 09:09 |
| pitti | ari-tczew: but if you can't give me an answer about an SRU rationale, but instead just act grumpy, I can't help it, I'm afraid :/ | 09:09 |
| pitti | I can't know the details about all 25000 packages in the archive, so the SRU team needs to have information like that | 09:10 |
| ari-tczew | pitti: because this is frustrated, when I know that patch works and won't go. | 09:11 |
| pitti | ari-tczew: it's in your hands to make it go | 09:11 |
| diwic | ari-tczew, the bureaucracy around making a patch go in can be frustrating sometimes, I've been there a few times myself | 09:13 |
| diwic | ari-tczew, but people on the other side have been burned many times by letting patches in that cause regressions, and so they come up with rules which are meant to minimize that risk | 09:15 |
| ari-tczew | diwic: ok, so let's don't making any SRUs. risk will be zero ! | 09:16 |
| diwic | ari-tczew, those rules are not perfect and probably won't ever be. | 09:16 |
| seb128 | there is plenty of SRU done each cycles | 09:21 |
| seb128 | it's not hard to do those, you just need to justify the need for change and describe how to test | 09:21 |
| pitti | if you can't explain why an SRU should be done, and what can possibly go wrong, we won't do it | 09:21 |
| seb128 | it's a reasonable requirement | 09:21 |
| diwic | ari-tczew, so if you were in pitti's shoes right now, what can you tell him about your patch that makes him reasonably sure that your patch won't cause regressions? | 09:22 |

| ScottK | doko: python/python3-defaults are done. | 14:48 |
| Adri2000 | doko: the forum thread lists some issues with OOo in lucid, but it doesn't specifically talk about the translation issue and doesn't seem to mention it at all actually | 14:48 |
| doko | Adri2000: it's one of the issues afaiu | 14:49 |

| Daviey | cjwatson, Has "d-i apt-setup/local0/repository" changed? Adding a local repo, doesn't seem to working anymore :( | 15:08 |
| Daviey | or am i be a numnut? | 15:09 |
| pitti | ari-tczew: hello (sorry, in meeting, but I responded to the bug some minutes ago) | 15:09 |
| pitti | ScottK, jibel: ah, want me to do a rebuild then? | 15:10 |
| cjwatson | Daviey: not aware of any changes there | 15:11 |
| Daviey | cjwatson, , thanks | 15:12 |
| ScottK | pitti: I'd say let's wait to hear the results of jibel's testing, but probably. | 15:12 |
| pitti | ... and this time with a Breaks: (thanks slangasek for pointing out) | 15:13 |
| jibel | ScottK, I cannot reproduce with wxwidget in -release or -updates and codeblocks has not changed since the release of lucid | 15:13 |
| ScottK | jibel: Right, but wx has. | 15:13 |
| ScottK | jibel: You're sure it was using 2.8 when you were testing, right? | 15:14 |
| * jibel checking again. | 15:14 | |
| ari-tczew | pitti: OK, tested, works fine. so jaunty won't go? | 15:14 |
| === jelmer is now known as Guest48768 | ||
| Daviey | cjwatson, Scrub what i said.. is working ;) | 15:17 |
| ari-tczew | pitti: so in current SRU policy, ubuntu-sru is deprecated? | 15:23 |
| jibel | ScottK, I really cannot reproduce. tests done with wxwidget2.8 in lucid and -proposed, codeblocks without then with codeblocks-contrib. Could it be a specific codeblocks plugin ? | 15:31 |
| === JanC_ is now known as JanC | ||
| ScottK | jibel: It may be arch specific. I'd ask the reporter what arch they are using. | 15:34 |
| pitti | ari-tczew: deprecated how? (it's not -- it's the team who reviews/handles all SRUs) | 15:35 |
| === Guest48768 is now known as jelmer | ||
| ari-tczew | pitti: because now sponsors are uploading SRU patches. then is test and if it's fine, then you are moving to -updates. I don't see work for ubuntu-sru. | 15:57 |
| === bjf[afk] is now known as bjf | ||
| pitti | while ~ubuntu-sru also has been sponsoring packages, it's not their main role; that is to review the queues and patches, follow up on discussions, regressions and coordinate moving to -updates | 15:59 |
| jdstrand | mvo: hi! | 16:05 |
| mvo | hey jdstrand | 16:05 |
| jdstrand | mvo: I wanted to bring your attention to bug #614589 | 16:06 |

| jdstrand | mvo: it is fairly annoying, and it breaks several scripts the security team has. I imagine it affects others too. It isn't a 'drop everything' and fix now bug cause I know you are busy and we can work around it. but I wanted to make sure you saw it | 16:07 |
| SpamapS | mathiaz: php5-sybase stays. As slangasek pointed out, its probably easier for us to find a sybase server if we ever need one, than to maintain a massive delta w/ debian. ;) | 16:09 |
| mathiaz | SpamapS: ok - thanks for the summary | 16:10 |
| mvo | jdstrand: thanks, I have a look | 16:10 |
| jdstrand | mvo: thanks! :) did you have a nice vacation? | 16:10 |
| mvo | jdstrand: yes, *very* nice. just ended too early ;) | 16:11 |
| jdstrand | mvo: glad you enjoyed it, and glad to have you back, even if it was earlier than you might have liked :) | 16:12 |
| mvo | jdstrand: :) | 16:16 |
| mterry | pitti, how bad are multiple shared libraries in one binary package? I'm looking at a MIR that has such, but not sure how much of a stickler about it I should be. | 16:16 |
| Chipaca | mvo: ping | 16:19 |
| mvo | Chipaca: hello | 16:19 |
| === zyga-us-visa-stu is now known as zyga | ||
| pitti | mterry: at least bad enough to require further justification | 16:19 |
| pitti | mterry: we have some special cases, if they all share the exact same SONAME and are always bumped together, it's ok | 16:20 |
| pitti | mterry: but if it's different SONAMEs, then it's a major bug | 16:20 |
| mterry | pitti, like, 4/5 are SONAME 2, one is SONAME 1 | 16:21 |
| mterry | pitti, apparently the MIR submitter talked to Debian maintainers and they weren't sold on unbundling. Will try to find out why | 16:21 |
| pitti | mterry: then that package deserves to get shot in the head and removed from the archive; definitively a MIR blocker | 16:21 |
| pitti | (IMO) | 16:21 |
| mterry | pitti, OK, good. I don't like wielding MIR blockage power, so good to get confirmation that bundled libs suck | 16:22 |
| pitti | it's a disaster waiting to happen whenever the ABI changes | 16:22 |

| mathiaz | james_w: hi! | 16:52 |
| mathiaz | james_w: is there a reason why the puppet pkg branch hasn't been imported yet? | 16:52 |
| mathiaz | james_w: there is a new version in the archive, however puppet doesn't show up on http://package-import.ubuntu.com/status/#stats | 16:52 |
| mathiaz | james_w: and the puppet pkg branch is not up-to-date | 16:53 |
| === jj-afk is now known as jjohansen | ||

| mathiaz | james_w: that's ... not nice of LP :/ | 16:58 |
| fta | micahg, hi, you missed a bunch of emails from me in the last few hours. someone apparently decided it was a good idea to make a package add the hostname to 127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts, leading my SMTP servers to send emails with localhost.localdomain as FROM (in the SMTP envelope). this is plain wrong | 16:59 |
| fta | not sure which package did that though | 17:00 |
| Chipzz | papertigers: this is not the channel for these kind of questions, pls refer to the topic | 17:02 |
| === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk | ||
| james_w | mathiaz: I don't know what happened, but somehow we missed the creation of the publication record. This shouldn't happen unless LP's clock jumps backwards. | 17:10 |
| james_w | mathiaz: I'm going to make it more robust against that, and ask it to import puppet now. Please let me know if you see this again and I will look again for ways we can miss the publication of something. | 17:11 |

| mvo | lanoxx: yes | 18:12 |
| lanoxx | mvo, could you add "Christian Klein" to the commit messages of my xdg fixes? after all parts of my patch are from his branch | 18:13 |
| lanoxx | mvo, or do you think thats unneccessary given the size of the patch? | 18:14 |
| mvo | lanoxx: thanks, I will do that | 18:18 |

| vlada | hi ppl. I might be at the wrong place, but counting on you to redirect me ;) How can I debug indicator applet thing. There is a bug nobody pays much attention, so I'm guessing not many experience it. I'd like to redirect debug output to terminal. Is there a way to do that? | 18:21 |

| SpamapS | vlada: you can attach the debugger (gdb) to any running process, though in Maverick you'll need to either be root or enable a sysctl to do that. | 18:23 |

| dobey | any python packaging gurus around? | 18:25 |
| dobey | pysupport seems to only be setting up the stuff in /usr/share/pyshared for me, in a package that also has a .so in /usr/lib/pyshared :-/ | 18:26 |
| dobey | wondering what i'm doing wrong (since pycairo seems to work ok) | 18:26 |
| mvo | lanoxx: yes | 18:26 |
| SpamapS | dobey: I believe pysupport is deprecated | 18:26 |
| SpamapS | but I could be confusing it with pycentral | 18:26 |
| SpamapS | or dh_python | 18:26 |
| dobey | pycentral is deprecated afaik | 18:26 |
| === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk | ||
| vlada | SpamapS, hi. and hmmm. Applet doesn't really crash. Not sure my gdb skills are that good to trace running process execution. | 18:27 |
| jcastro | vlada: find someone in #ayatana, they can help you with indicators | 18:27 |
| dobey | which is why i'm trying to move stuff over to pysupport | 18:27 |
| jcastro | vlada: I think there's a debugging tool somewhere but they will know for sure | 18:27 |
| SpamapS | vlada: gdb -p 12345 where 12345 is the pid of the process running your applet. | 18:27 |
| SpamapS | dobey: I believe there's a new kid in town, dh_python2, that is supposed to be "the one ring to bind them all" | 18:28 |
| SpamapS | dobey: but, I'm a python packaging novice | 18:28 |
| lamont | doko: pycentral or pysupport is deprecated? | 18:28 |
| SpamapS | dobey: #debian-python on OFTC is full of python packaging wizards. | 18:28 |
| vlada | great! thanks both of you | 18:29 |
| doko | lamont: dh_python[23] is the future | 18:29 |
| lamont | doko: meaning both support and central are to be shunned? | 18:29 |
| dobey | boo | 18:29 |
| doko | lamont: I only can speak for one ... | 18:29 |
| SpamapS | vlada: if you haven't also tried 'strace' and 'ltrace', they're useful when you're not quite sure what it is the thing is doing. | 18:29 |
| dobey | and i was recently told to use pysupport instead of pycentral | 18:30 |
| dobey | but i somehow doubt that just switching to use dh_python2 is going to fix my problem | 18:30 |
| SpamapS | dobey: I also made a package about 3 months ago and used pysupport, without knowing that dy_python2 existed. | 18:31 |
| SpamapS | dobey: actually I'm using pysupport and my .so is copied into the right place just fine | 18:31 |
| dobey | my problem is not that the package doesn't include the files, it's that pysupport is only creating symlinks for the .py files during postinst | 18:32 |
| dobey | (this is an automake based package, and not setup.py) | 18:32 |
| dobey | but i'm at a bit of a loss as to why | 18:33 |
| SpamapS | ah.. setup.py seems to be the generally accepted way to distribute/package python apps/libs .. never would have thought to use pure automake. | 18:34 |
| dobey | well it's a c/gtk+ based lib, with python/mono bindings | 18:38 |
| dobey | (and if it were up to me, nobody would use setup.py) :) | 18:39 |
| SpamapS | Heh.. the gearman-interface package builds python libs from swig interface files.. it also builds a setup.py ;) | 18:39 |
| SpamapS | setup.py is just a nice uniform way to distribute apps.. just like automake.. | 18:40 |
| dobey | i know what setup.py does, is capable of, etc... | 18:40 |
| SpamapS | But you don't like it? | 18:41 |
| dobey | no | 18:41 |
| SpamapS | Got a grudge against pypi? | 18:41 |
| dobey | no | 18:41 |
| SpamapS | alrighty then... err.. how 'bout them Meerkats? | 18:42 |
| dobey | it's fine for shipping simple python scripts and modules | 18:42 |
| dobey | it sucks for real apps that have config files, data, etc... | 18:42 |
| dobey | and i don't have time to fix it | 18:43 |
| dobey | but that doesn't tell me why pysupport isn't working as expected | 18:43 |
| === ivoks_sleeping is now known as ivoks | ||
| SpamapS | dobey: maybe it relies too heavily on setup.py .. dh_python2 seems to have a lot more options. | 18:44 |
| highvoltage | Anyone have some trouble booting dailies? Edubuntu doesn't boot properly currently | 18:48 |

| highvoltage | cjwatson: I did indeed, nothing stands out | 18:49 |
| cjwatson | doko: is it safe to convert to dh_python2 right now in unstable? looking for some sort of policy guidance to tell me whether I've got it all right ... | 18:49 |
| highvoltage | the previous build problems earlier this week has been fixed at least | 18:49 |

| cjwatson | (the build log publishing is held together with wet string, I don't want to stretch it too much!) | 18:54 |
| highvoltage | heh :) | 18:54 |
| cjwatson | I don't think that message is a problem. in what way does it fail to boot? | 18:55 |
| highvoltage | I get busybox | 18:55 |
| cjwatson | is this on a live-style boot? | 18:56 |
| highvoltage | yes | 18:56 |
| cjwatson | ok, I'll see if it reproduces on a desktop CD | 18:56 |
| highvoltage | I'll try to quiet plymouth or check for logs from inside busybox in the meantime | 18:57 |
| highvoltage | well what do you know... with plymouth disabled it boots just fine | 18:59 |
| doko | cjwatson: for packages managed by pycentral, it should be safe. the location doesn't change | 19:00 |
