| njin | hello, what do you think about bug 668926 ? | 15:05 |
|---|---|---|
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 668926 in ubuntu "can't resolve domain names starting with a dash (minus sign) (affects: 3) (heat: 20)" [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/668926 | 15:05 |
| paultag | njin: as far as bugs go, pretty awesome | 15:05 |
| paultag | njin: has all the key elements -- making fun of tumblr, citing spec and marking the bug invalid. Tis a good day. | 15:06 |
| njin | paultag, thanks | 15:08 |
| paultag | njin: sure thing. I don't see that being fixed, since what they're asking breaks rfc | 15:08 |
| paultag | sorry :) | 15:08 |
| stgraber | bind or whatever name server they're using for their domain shouldn't even allow that to start with | 15:10 |
| * penguin42 wonders if that stuff changed with the internationalised domain name rfcs | 15:11 | |
| stgraber | and I'd think a lot of recursive DNS servers probably consider that invalid | 15:11 |
| paultag | stgraber: aye | 15:11 |
| stgraber | penguin42: nope, internationalised domain name still start with alpha | 15:11 |
| stgraber | penguin42: x-XXXXXXXX.blah.com means it's UTF-8 with XXXXXXXX being whatever encoding they're using for that | 15:11 |
| penguin42 | paultag/stgraber: OK, except for one problem - obviously their DNS server does allow it, and everything in between there and the testers does allow it, and windows and mac allows it | 15:12 |
| stgraber | the actual storage in the DNS zones still respect the good old RFCs | 15:12 |
| paultag | penguin42: who cares? :) | 15:12 |
| penguin42 | paultag: The user who can't access his site on Linux | 15:12 |
| paultag | penguin42: just because they have a broken system does not mean we have to taint our code | 15:12 |
| paultag | penguin42: so? Sounds like an issue with tublr | 15:12 |
| paultag | tumblr, rather | 15:13 |
| paultag | it's like saying "Windows does it" as a reason to drop POSIX standard | 15:13 |
| * penguin42 doesn't personally have a problem with being more permissive than the standard | 15:13 | |
| paultag | he could add an /etc/hosts entry, I'm sure | 15:14 |
| paultag | I'm farily sure those can be invalid | 15:14 |
| * penguin42 bets you can have fun with scripts that pass domain names with -'s passing options to things | 15:17 | |
| xteejx | Hey peeps long time no see! | 15:25 |
| penguin42 | hey | 15:26 |
| xteejx | I did "pbuilder-dist oneiric creatre" and then "pbuilder-dist oneiric update" but keep getting E: failed to extract /home/teej/pbuilder/oneiric-base.tgz to /var/cache/pbuilder/build//18825 ...is this a bug or me messing up? | 15:27 |
| xteejx | penguin42: Hey :) | 15:27 |
| xteejx | btw I did create not creatre :P | 15:28 |
| penguin42 | there was a broken pbuilder bug the other day | 15:28 |
| penguin42 | not sure if it's still around | 15:28 |
| xteejx | hmmm, have looked on LP but cant find anything, probably wrong keywords | 15:29 |
| penguin42 | I think it ended up being a debootstrap issue | 15:30 |
| xteejx | ahhh that could make sense :) | 15:31 |
