[13:56] <sveinse> Hi. I have the sources for a package (retrieved with apt-get source) and I need to build the x86 version of it, while I'm running amd64. I guess I need to setup some fakeroot system. Any links to where I can find descriptions of how to do so?

[16:23] <Keybuk> gnargh
[16:24] <Keybuk> every time I type bzr log, I wish it would invoke $PAGER
[16:24] <penguin42> you mean like git does? Yeh it's a nice feature
[16:24] <Keybuk> yeah
[16:24]  * penguin42 hands Keybuk the source
[16:25] <Keybuk> heh, I don't care enough to patch it
[16:25] <Keybuk> besides, I have a feeling they'd reject it anyway
[16:40] <cjwatson> Keybuk: mkdir -p .bazaar/plugins && bzr get lp:bzr-pager .bazaar/plugins/pager
[16:40] <cjwatson> Keybuk: (bug 213718)
[16:41] <cjwatson> the picky will observe that I should have put a couple of ~/ in there, but YKWIM :)
[16:43] <Keybuk> cjwatson: ooooh
[16:43] <Keybuk> awesome
[16:51] <cjwatson> (don't like it myself - I turn that off in git - but I understand others do ...)
[16:53] <Keybuk> I do, because you never know how much output a given command is going to generate
[16:54] <Keybuk> and bzr commands can be slow to run
[16:54] <cjwatson> I'm not quite sure why I dislike it; I think it's at least half visceral, "damnit if I wanted a pager I'd have asked for one"
[16:54] <Keybuk> so you either protect everything with less just in case, which screws up progress bars
[16:55] <Keybuk> or you run things twice
[16:55] <cjwatson> but also, my pager is set up to use the alternate screen
[16:55] <cjwatson> and very often I want some of whatever I asked for on my terminal for slightly later
[16:55] <Keybuk> yeah, I can see how that would annoy you
[16:55] <cjwatson> so the effect of auto-spawning a pager is exactly to cause me to run things twice
[16:56] <cjwatson> I suspect autopaging makes sense iff the pager isn't going to use an alternate screen
[16:57] <cjwatson> unfortunately, neither bzr nor git can know that
[16:57]  * penguin42 tends to use a LOT of terminals/tabs so I don't worry about nuking the contents of one
[20:16] <vadi2> How can I get in touch with someone in Canonical in regard to a piece of Ubuntus website architecture not working properly anymore? (and not being fixed for half month now).
[20:18] <JanC> vadi2: try asking in #ubuntu-website
[20:18] <vadi2> Thanks
[20:18] <JanC> IIRC there is also an e-mail address listed on most sites
[20:19] <JanC> vadi2: http://www.ubuntu.com/contact-us under "web feedback"
[20:20] <vadi2> thank you
[20:42] <shadeslayer> or open up a ticket?
[20:42] <shadeslayer> vadi2: ^^
[20:42] <vadi2> how?
[20:46] <micahg> vadi2: you can file a bug against this project as well: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-website
[20:46] <vadi2> thank you
[23:40] <Laney> i'd appreciate it if someone could approve the nomination on bug #696480
[23:48] <cjwatson> done
[23:49] <Laney> ty
[23:50] <hyperair> hmm is that what broke our pristine-tar things?
[23:50] <elmo> man, I thought that bug was going to be hilariously awesome, but it's just depressing
[23:50] <Laney> hyperair: yes
[23:50] <hyperair> i see
[23:51] <Laney> it is pretty depressing indeed
[23:51] <Laney> thankfully not much should have relied on that behaviour
[23:51]  * cjwatson apologises for the Ubuntu project's failure to provide elmo with sufficient entertainment, and offers bug 248619 on the basis that a repeat is better than no show at all
[23:52] <cjwatson> hang on, where's the awesome version of that
[23:52] <cjwatson> bug 255161 is more like it
[23:52] <penguin42> is that the Tuesday printing one?
[23:52] <penguin42> ah yes
[23:53] <elmo> hahaha
[23:54] <hyperair> lol
[23:59] <azeem> wow
