[15:52] <rexbron> just a heads up for everyone here, I'm working getting nightly builds set up for ffmpeg, x264, blender and a few other tools set up
[15:57] <persia> Using the new VCS->build system?
[16:00] <rexbron> persia: yep
[16:00] <persia> nifty
[16:00] <rexbron> there are a few workflow issues I'm having to work around
[16:01] <rexbron> mainly not be able to use the run command on launchpad
[16:01] <rexbron> but the solution I came up with is to branch the upstream, add the debian dir to it then tell it to merge
[16:02] <rexbron> in fact ffmpeg is building right now :)
[16:02] <rexbron> basically, the docs that currently exist are kinda wrong
[16:03] <rexbron> you can't just take the debian branch and merge it with the upstream
[16:03] <rexbron> but the system is quite elegant imo
[16:04] <rexbron> persia: even better would be to use a recipe branch instead of having to copy and paste the recipe into launchpad
[16:04] <persia> File a bug requesting that.  I suspect the LP folks would agree.
[16:10] <rexbron> https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/launchpad-code/+bug/627466
[16:13] <rexbron> persia: the ffmpeg packaging contains a lot of blackmagic :/
[16:14] <rexbron> three days of beating my head against it
[16:14] <persia> Have you talked with siretart about it?
[16:15] <rexbron> persia: the last time I contacted him about it, I didn't get a friendly responce
[16:15] <rexbron> ffmpeg is one of those packages that is a nightmare
[16:15] <persia> Odd.  He always struck me as a freindly guy.  Dunno then.
[16:16] <rexbron> persia: probably because I was bugging him for an update :{
[16:16] <rexbron> :P
[16:16] <rexbron> in any case, the tools now exist to make that very painless
[16:16] <persia> Yeah, that would do it :)  the black magic needs care...
[16:17] <rexbron> there's actually a section in the rules file to make it hard to mix the debian ffmpeg with any thing else
[18:15] <rexbron> persia: et al. If anyone is interested in testing the packages, the url is ppa:rexbron/rexbron-nightly
[18:34] <rexbron> ScottL: scott-work Could you create an ubuntu studio nightly ppa?
[18:59] <rexbron> TheMuso: I'm going to try and tackle ardour3 nightlies soon
[19:04] <rexbron> TheMuso: well firstly, ardour has switched build systems
[19:04] <rexbron> and I don't think cdbs supports waf
[19:04] <rexbron> at least the same way that it does scons
[21:50] <ckontros> ScottL: yo
[23:13]  * TheMuso groans. Another build system change for ardour...
