CIA-37debian-installer: cjwatson * r1499 ubuntu/debian/changelog: No-change rebuild to pick up new components.08:03
CIA-37debian-installer: cjwatson * r1500 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 20101020ubuntu4908:04
evsince we can't handle update-grub server side, I think I'm going to leave the existing wubildr in place and do this for the first run, followed by update-grub being run in jasper: http://paste.ubuntu.com/652305/09:33
evcjwatson: can you please remind me why we generate a new wubildr for C:\ to replace the one provided by wubi, created during Wubi's build?  Is it just to ensure that the version of wubildr matches the version of grub on the installed system?09:52
evhm, given that jasper just shells off to oem-config and there doesn't seem to be anything interesting in jasper itself, I wonder if it makes more sense to just install oem-config and touch /var/lib/oem-config/run in the live-build instead.10:14
evnot a massive fan of going through that giant pile of code though10:15
cjwatsonev: well, we need to be able to incrementally upgrade it, so we might as well find out early if that's going to fail10:38
cjwatsonoh and it has slightly different embedded configuration once installed10:39
evI thought we didn't touch it once it was in place, but I must be missing that bit of code in grub-install/lupin10:57
evcjwatson: when you have some free time, could you also look this over: https://docs.google.com/a/canonical.com/Doc?docid=0AU5sFuLRpCpBZGZra2pqY2pfMTAxZ25rcnBnNXY&hl=en_US#4_5_2_Manual_partitioning_7972 ?10:57
evI'm going to go over it with Matthew in a bit, but I'm sure there are subtle nuances of RAID/LVM that I'll miss10:58
evcjwatson: also, what do you think of going straight into oem-config, as mentioned above?10:58
evapols for pouncing on you :)10:58
evdidn't touch it once it was in place> following the convention of never upgrading the MBR11:00
evalso, I have an evil plan download and dynamically load the components for the slideshow.  So we should be able to keep a single wubi binary, and thus included on the CD, for this cycle.11:01
evthough admittedly I haven't actually tried that yet11:02
cjwatsonnever upgrading the mbr> obsolete rule11:09
cjwatsonwell11:09
cjwatsonwe don't touch wubildr.mbr, but we totally upgrade wubildr, and have to11:09
cjwatsonmanual partitioning> I probably won't have time until after debconf+holiday :-(11:09
cjwatsonwhat happens to that design if there are too many partitions to fit on the screen?11:11
cjwatsonscrollbar?11:11
evyes11:11
ev(and no worries)11:11
ev(review it when you can, it's a living document :) )11:11
ev"Every partition block should be, at a minimum, high enough to show one line of its label. If the chart area has too little height to show all partitions this way, it should scroll vertically (and if there are two charts, they should scroll together)."11:12
cjwatsonah right11:12
cjwatsonI'll keep it open and look through it if I get a spare half-hour11:12
evcheers, very much appreciated11:16
bdmurraycjwatson: I've found a few grub bugs where 'update-grub' is not found and they are all rather old14:22
