[05:15] <ybit> also i'm curious if it's possible to write plugins for the dash
[05:15] <ybit> er, is there an api for it rather
[05:16] <ybit> and i'm executing sudo pbuilder create --debootstrapopts --variant=buildd having not got a response from anyone
[05:16] <ybit> ..after already sudo pbuilder create executed sucessfully
[05:17] <ybit> -already
[05:28] <ybit> sudo pbuilder build *.dsc
[05:29] <ybit> that command tells pbuilder to build anything with a file ending with .dsc
[05:29] <ybit> are the dsc files removed after the build or install is successful?
[08:04] <hacked_kernel> Is there a channel for Ubuntu One dev?
[08:54] <nigelb> hacked_kernel: There's #ubuntuone if you haven't already seen it. Everyone's probably away for the holidays though.
[11:40] <sladen> Riddell: which "guy on #ubuntu-users" ?
[11:40] <sladen> Riddell: or literally <guy> ?
[12:25] <Riddell> sladen: mailing list
[16:30] <shnatsel> hello everyone
[16:31] <shnatsel> I'm trying to create custom seed file; I'm stuck at Germinate's "Task-Seeds: " key
[16:31] <shnatsel> it seems to duplicate the data in the STRUCTURE file
[16:32] <shnatsel> what shall I put there if my task depends on several other seed files from the same branch/dir?
[16:33] <shnatsel> "man germinate" says to refer to "man germinate-update-metapackage" which doesn't mention such keys
[17:03] <shnatsel> !logs
[17:41] <cjwatson> shnatsel: germinate-update-metapackage(1) *does* document Task-Seeds.
[17:41] <cjwatson> Albeit obliquely.
[17:42] <cjwatson> shnatsel: And no, that header does not duplicate the inheritance data in STRUCTURE.
[17:42] <cjwatson> shnatsel: Task-Seeds says that, in addition to this seed, the packages listed directly in the specified additional seeds should also be added as Depends/Recommends of the metapackage generated from this seed.
[17:43] <shnatsel> cjwatson: wow, glad to see you here! :D
[17:43] <cjwatson> shnatsel: If specified, this would normally be only a subset of the full inheritance of the seed.
[17:43] <shnatsel> cjwatson: ah, sorry, found it
[17:43] <cjwatson> shnatsel: In general it is perfectly fine to omit that header.  You only need it in special cases.
[17:44] <shnatsel> cjwatson: thanks!
[17:46]  * shnatsel thinks that #ubuntu-devel is truly a great place if you can get answers to stupid questions even during Christmas holidays
[18:40] <shnatsel> cjwatson: Germinate is a great tool! Thank you so much for creating it and answering my stupid questions!
[18:49] <cjwatson> shnatsel: That's OK - feel free to file bugs about documentation inadequacies, as ever
[18:50] <cjwatson> shnatsel: (And, for completeness, I didn't actually create it originally, I've just been the victim who ended up maintaining it for seven years :-) )
[18:50] <cjwatson> Although it's barely recognisable from the original nowadays ...
[18:51] <shnatsel> cjwatson: oh yeah, I know that feeling... I've inherited an ISO build script, I'm trying to get rid of it all the time but I always end up rewriting it
[18:52] <shnatsel> the latest (third) rewrite uses seeds
