| ojwb | is there an easy way to take an "alternate" ISO and include the updates since the release? | 03:02 |
|---|---|---|
| ojwb | and produce a new ISO image | 03:02 |
| mwhudson | it's probably distressingly hard | 03:02 |
| * ojwb wondered if creating a second repo on the ISO would actually be easiest | 03:03 | |
| mwhudson | the current process for producing an iso involves baling twine | 03:03 |
| mwhudson | aiui | 03:03 |
| ojwb | and perhaps then nuke the original packages for space | 03:04 |
| chilts | ojwb: is this because a dist upgrade from where the newly installed image would be too slow? | 03:05 |
| ojwb | not sure about "too slow" but it does make it take longer | 03:05 |
| ojwb | for LTS releases, they do at least roll up point versions | 03:08 |
| ojwb | hmm, I wonder if I can just unpack, fiddle with the pool, run dpkg-scanpackages, sign stuff | 03:20 |
| * ajmitch stabs unity through its black heart | 03:53 | |
| ajmitch | thumper: sorry, there doesn't appear to be a crash dump to submit from unity dying on me again | 03:56 |
| G | ojwb: is this for local installs or for sharing with others I wonder? | 04:04 |
| thumper | what's happening | 04:18 |
| ojwb | G: local stuff | 04:55 |
| G | ojwb: I do some whacky stuff with nginx, and just use a PXE image, point it to nginx, and install newist stuff that way | 04:55 |
| ojwb | uhuh | 04:56 |
| ojwb | not sure that's really an improvement from what we already have - i was aiming for less fetching of packages across the network | 04:56 |
| ojwb | rather than more | 04:56 |
| G | ojwb: basically nginx proxy cache's pool/ etc, and proxy_pass (& caches) the repodata | 04:57 |
| G | ojwb: depends, because I only fetch once over the internet, but many times over LAN | 04:57 |
| G | (I know apt-proxy/apt-cache can do that, but I don't like either, and the server that is doing it isn't running Ubuntu yet | 04:58 |
| ojwb | i think I still prefer an ISO image with stuff on | 05:01 |
| ojwb | less to go wrong | 05:01 |
| ojwb | and for me to have to debug remotely | 05:01 |
| G | yeah, was just throwing it out there | 05:02 |
| ojwb | worth thinking about - network probably beats DVD these days | 05:02 |
| G | (I did the same for when I was using Fedora everywhere at home too, but the RH-repo structure is by far messier | 05:03 |
| hads | G: Stock arrived, but umm... it seems I ordered 2 UY2 connectors instead of 200. | 06:44 |
| ojwb | better than order 100 times too many I guess | 06:44 |
| hads | Valid point. | 06:45 |
| ojwb | if poorly typed | 06:45 |
| hads | Must have been tired this morning. Ordered a 15m cable AND a 20m cable but was only meant to order either or. | 06:48 |
| ojwb | the next few days could be interesting I guess | 06:49 |
| G | hads: oh whoops | 07:37 |
| G | TelstraClear on twitter: "Due to unprecedented demand, some of you may be experiencing intermittent or slow internet..." - I wonder why | 07:40 |
| G | hads: I definately need more than 2 of the UY2 connectors, the reason why I said just send a hundred was because I was thinking we'd be able to use them elsewhere (model trains etc) | 07:41 |
| hads | G: Yeah, I thought I was ordering two packs, turns out it was just two. I'll order two packs on Monday, I hope the extra days delay won't be an issue. | 07:43 |
| G | hads: nah it's fine | 07:43 |
| hads | Cool | 07:43 |
| G | I've got everything else next to me now, but I need to do a bit of prep (such as cleaning/drilling/moving stuff out of the way) work anyway, so I'll just start doing that and do the rest during the week | 07:45 |
| G | must say, the PDL stuff looks really good too, got the RJ-45 module with the plastic lid etc, fits in with everything else and doesn't look out of place or anything like that | 07:47 |
| G | hads: btw if you are interested: https://code.launchpad.net/~dev-nigelj/+junk/tv_grab_nz-py | 08:03 |
| ojwb | morning | 19:02 |
| lamba | lo all | 22:16 |
