| jibel | I haven't verified it yet, but it seems related to the change with resolvconf | 16:32 |
| cjwatson | stgraber: another one for you then :) | 16:36 |
| cjwatson | actually never mind, I can just fix that | 16:36 |
| stgraber | it's going to be loooong day ;) | 16:37 |
| * stgraber is getting pinged in at least 5 different channels for resolvconf related issues :) | 16:38 | |
| CIA-11 | ubiquity: cjwatson * r5133 trunk/ (debian/changelog scripts/plugininstall.py): Cope with /etc/resolv.conf being a symlink (LP: #922640). | 16:46 |
| ogra_ | cjwatson, out of curiosity, why cant d-i produce a netinst initrd from a PPA build ? | 16:47 |
| ogra_ | that doesnt involve any debian-cd stuff, just needs udebs available, or am i wrong here ? | 16:49 |
| cjwatson | ogra_: assuming that Launchpad will publish the custom upload to a PPA! | 16:52 |
| ogra_ | well, indeed, that ssumes that both, d-i and kernel are in that PPA and the binaries end up in that very same PPA | 16:52 |
| cjwatson | missing my point | 16:52 |
| cjwatson | custom uploads are a very specialised upload type | 16:53 |
| cjwatson | afaik they have only ever been performed to the primary archive | 16:53 |
| cjwatson | they require lots of specialised code in Launchpad to handle them | 16:53 |
| cjwatson | this is the *output* from the d-i build | 16:53 |
| cjwatson | ogra_: looking through the Launchpad code, I can't actually find anything that prevents it right now, so it's possible I'm wrong; but you're well into untested territory, I think | 16:53 |
| ogra_ | hmm, k | 16:53 |
| cjwatson | and in any case I don't like the idea of branching the d-i package, it's hard enough to maintain sanely as it is | 16:54 |
| ogra_ | yeah, thoug *if* we have to branch, the out of archive solution seemed saner to me | 16:54 |
| ogra_ | if LP gets in our way thats indeed bad | 16:54 |
| * GrueMaster never thought of d-i as sane in the firstplace. | 16:54 | |
| cjwatson | :-P | 16:55 |
| * ogra_ thinks infinity was also in favour of thje PPA idea though i dont know if he knows the LP specifics you mention | 16:55 | |
| cjwatson | I guess you can try it and see if it works. You should try it before making any plans that assume it works. | 16:55 |
| ogra_ | indeed, though its NCommander's project and he seems to want to go another route | 16:55 |
| ogra_ | with a second d-i in universe or so | 16:56 |
| cjwatson | I wouldn't accept that into the archive if I were the archive admin on duty | 16:58 |
| cjwatson | he hasn't talked to me about it | 16:58 |
| cjwatson | I really don't think it's appropriate to fork d-i in universe. It buys absolutely nothing, since LP would still publish the output to main. | 16:59 |
| cjwatson | If we're going to have it in the primary archive, we might as well just have the existing debian-installer package build it out of universe. | 16:59 |
| ogra_ | right, if thats the case we wont gain a thing | 16:59 |
| cjwatson | It is the case; I have checked the code. | 16:59 |
| ogra_ | k | 16:59 |
| cjwatson | self.targetdir = os.path.join( | 16:59 |
| cjwatson | archive_root, 'dists', distroseries, 'main', | 16:59 |
| cjwatson | '%s-%s' % (build_type, self.arch)) | 16:59 |
| ogra_ | yep | 16:59 |
| cjwatson | And there's no overrides facility that could be used to change that. You'd have to build an entire new edifice of stuff. | 17:00 |
| ogra_ | yeah, understood | 17:00 |
| infinity | Yeah, the custom upload processor stuff was never designed, per se. | 17:00 |
| ogra_ | sounds like there is no sane solution at all | 17:00 |
| infinity | Just kinda slapped in. | 17:00 |
| === JanC_ is now known as JanC | ||
| cjwatson | It was inserted with a drill. | 17:02 |
| infinity | ogra_: The "do it in a PPA" idea was predicated on the idea that the final build would be changed to make the by-hand tar.gz be a .deb someone could move around and publish elsewhere. It was a thought I never bothered to finish because it was just us banging out ideas for interim solutions (where I still say the best solution for a kernel and d-i we don't want to support is just to build it locally) | 17:02 |
| ogra_ | ah, ok | 17:02 |
| infinity | But we could also alter d-i to build against universe for specific targets, I suppose. That could introduce other hilarity where, for instance, we currently demote udebs to universe when we don't want d-i to see them. :P | 17:03 |
| ogra_ | oh, yeah, indeed ... fun ahead | 17:05 |
| ogra_ | i wonder if we couldnt just push the kernel to main and demote it right after the last d-i upload | 17:08 |
| ogra_ | (and likely mangle the d-i output for this kernel to not end in main at all) | 17:09 |
| stgraber | cjwatson: seems like d-i has a similar issue trying to copy /etc/resolv.conf (in 40netcfg based on the log I have here) | 17:09 |
| cjwatson | can I see the log? /target/etc/ should be empty ... | 17:10 |
| cjwatson | not necessarily the case in ubiquity | 17:10 |
| cjwatson | ogra_: that's worse | 17:10 |
| cjwatson | better to have d-i be honest | 17:10 |
| cjwatson | ogra_: your plan would make it hard to do post-release uploads | 17:11 |
| ogra_ | well, actual post release uploads of that kernel would likely be with a supported version | 17:11 |
| cjwatson | just please don't play silly archive games | 17:11 |
| ogra_ | what michael tries here is to fill the gap until a supported kernel exists i think | 17:11 |
| ogra_ | k | 17:12 |
| cjwatson | if d-i is using a kernel from universe, it should say so | 17:12 |
| ogra_ | oh, i didnt mean to hide that fact indeed | 17:12 |
| ogra_ | just to make the building easier | 17:12 |
| stgraber | cjwatson: oh, sounds like my bad then (and GrueMaster's). We both had mirror issues so at least I probably have a dirty /target, he might well have had that too | 17:14 |
| GrueMaster | wait, what was my bad??? | 17:16 |
| ogra_ | GrueMaster, everything ! | 17:17 |
| cjwatson | stgraber: can I see the log anyway? | 17:17 |
| GrueMaster | I don't break things, I only find weak points in others work. | 17:17 |
| stgraber | cjwatson: http://paste.ubuntu.com/819048/ | 17:20 |
| stgraber | cjwatson: my DNS server being stupid made that download fail. | 17:20 |
| cjwatson | ah, right. we should be robust anyway. | 17:22 |
| cjwatson | but that code looks wrong in resolvconf land | 17:23 |
| cjwatson | it'll cause all new systems to start out with /etc/resolv.conf as a file and resolvconf will ignore them | 17:23 |
| cjwatson | can you suggest a replacement? | 17:23 |
| stgraber | cjwatson: what was done in LXC and live-build is basically copy the content of /etc/resolv.conf from the outside to the target during install/build time, then at the end restore the symlink (moving it initially to .orig and moving back .orig to resolv.conf at the end) | 17:28 |
| cjwatson | d-i needs to preserve manually configured nameservers | 17:29 |
| cjwatson | in static network configuration | 17:29 |
| stgraber | right, these should be converted to dns-search and dns-nameservers entry in /etc/network/interfaces | 17:31 |
| cjwatson | is that new with resolvconf? | 17:32 |
| stgraber | it's implemented through an ifupdown hook shipped by resolvconf but I don't think it's particularly new | 17:33 |
| stgraber | so if we know we have resolvconf on the target, we should be setting these, otherwise we want to copy /etc/resolv.conf as we used to | 17:33 |
| bdmurray | the launchpad.net/wubi/ page has an external downloads link which points to sourceforge which has a very old version of wubi | 17:45 |
| bdmurray | would linking to evan's home directory on people be better? | 17:46 |
| cjwatson | yeah | 17:47 |
| cjwatson | stgraber: hah, netcfg already writes dns-* as well :-) | 17:47 |
| cjwatson | so we can just not copy resolv.conf if it's a symlink | 17:48 |
| cjwatson | er if resolvconf is installed | 17:48 |
| stgraber | cjwatson: sounds good | 17:48 |
| CIA-11 | netcfg: cjwatson * r1283 ubuntu/ (base-installer.d/40netcfg debian/changelog): | 17:50 |

| antarus | cjwatson: you test that dhcpv6 timeout patch I sent? | 17:52 |
| cjwatson | antarus: oh, no, sorry, have been swamped - I've made a note to do it next week | 17:53 |
| antarus | ok no worries | 17:56 |
| antarus | I think the deadline for P was in mid-feb? | 17:56 |
| antarus | so we are trying to get all our patches upstreamed before then | 17:56 |
| cjwatson | for bug fixes the deadline is still ages away | 17:57 |
| cjwatson | feature freeze is soonish | 17:57 |
| antarus | ipv6 is a feature! :) | 17:58 |
| antarus | but good to know ;) | 17:58 |
| cjwatson | the installer already supports ipv6, this is a bug fix :) | 17:58 |
