[00:01] <roaksoax> bigjools: around already?
[00:33] <bigjools> roaksoax: OTP
[01:22] <bigjools> roaksoax: still there? off TP now
[01:23] <roaksoax> bigjools: ya
[01:23] <roaksoax> bigjools: so if you saw, the sudoers thing is in place already
[01:23] <bigjools> I saw!
[01:24] <roaksoax> bigjools: the only problem now is being able to access the files under etc/<daemon>
[01:24] <roaksoax> bigjools: the group adding didn't seem to work
[01:24] <roaksoax> so another option would be to manage those files independently and just symlink
[01:24] <bigjools> yeah I guessed it would not yesterday when I looked at it in more detail :(
[01:24] <roaksoax> i don't know whether that would work
[01:25] <bigjools> we could spawn a process using sudo, instead of writing directly
[01:26] <roaksoax> that could also be an option, Im gonna email to the security list
[01:26] <bigjools> or temporarily gain suid?
[01:26] <bigjools> I forgot the system call
[01:26] <bigjools> in fact I hope Python could even do that
[01:26] <roaksoax> heh well we need to look into that
[01:27] <roaksoax> without having an in-depth look, handling it under /var/lib/maas and symlinking to /etc/<daemon> might work
[01:27] <bigjools> roaksoax: do you want to run with it?  you probably overlap better with Jamie
[01:27] <roaksoax> bigjools: yes, I'll email tomorrow morning the security team
[01:27] <roaksoax> for advise
[01:27] <bigjools> you mean writing to /var/lib/maas, ok, but doesn't it still need root to symlink?
[01:28] <roaksoax> bigjools: the symlinking would be done on package creation
[01:28] <roaksoax> bigjools: so maas would modify whatever is in /var/lib/maas/dhcp/* for example
[01:29] <roaksoax> bigjools: s/package creation/package installation/
[01:29] <bigjools> ah ok
[01:29] <bigjools> like we do for dns?
[01:29] <roaksoax> bigjools: for DNS we do directly on /etc/bind/maas
[01:29]  * bigjools wonders if dhcp has an inclusion mechanism
[01:30] <roaksoax> bigjools: so we only need to have a dhcpd.conf right?
[01:30] <bigjools> yep
[01:30] <roaksoax> bigjools: so that could be in /var/lib/maas/dhcp/dhcpd.conf, then we symlink that to /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
[01:30] <bigjools> this will eventually need to happen on worker packaging as well
[01:31] <roaksoax> yep
[01:31] <bigjools> that would work
[01:31] <roaksoax> on package installation is easy thing to create a symlink
[01:31] <bigjools> when I say eventually, in about 4-6 weeks :)
[01:31] <roaksoax> hehe
[01:31] <bigjools> >deadlines<
[01:31] <roaksoax> sounds like fun
[01:32] <bigjools> fsvo
[01:33] <bigjools> roaksoax: oh BTW, we are running tftp out of the maas tree in precise, right?
[01:33] <bigjools> I am about to test it
[01:35] <bigjools> hmmm
[01:35] <bigjools> maas wants to install python-txtftp still
[01:36] <bigjools> should probably fix that :)
[01:43] <roaksoax> bigjools: in precise it is in the tree
[01:43] <roaksoax> bigjools: python-txtftp is a depends on quantal, but it is installed from the source in precise
[01:44] <roaksoax> anyways, i'm off
[01:44] <roaksoax> have a good day
[01:48] <bigjools> roaksoax: it depends on it in precise AFAICS
[01:54] <bigjools> python-django-maas depends on python-tftp
[01:54] <bigjools> python-django-maas depends on python-txtftp I mean
[02:57] <roaksoax> bigjools: yeah
[02:58] <roaksoax> bigjools: that's about right, because the provisioningserver is being shipped with python-django-maas
[02:58] <bigjools> ah you're back
[02:58] <bigjools> I sent an email 5 mins ago
[02:58] <roaksoax> bigjools: yeah i just read that's why I came back :)
[02:58] <bigjools> :)
[02:58] <roaksoax> bigjools: so i keep a separate branch for the precise precise package
[02:59] <bigjools> roaksoax: sounds like we need two proper packaging branches then :)
[02:59] <bigjools> and two recipes
[02:59] <roaksoax> bigjools: yeah I have them I just haven uploaded it since I wanted to get the cobbler removal in place
[02:59] <roaksoax> bigjools: but the precise version basically removes whatever is not in the archives (such as python-tx-tftp)
[03:01] <roaksoax> bigjools: so if you backport a quantal version to precise, it will fail to work
[03:01] <roaksoax> bigjools: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1171058/
[03:01] <roaksoax> bigjools: i'll upload it to a bracnh tomorrow
[03:01] <roaksoax> bigjools: the problme is (in PPA's) that the tarball differs for each version, and so, PPA's don't alow me to upload
[03:01] <bigjools> ah
[03:01] <bigjools> indeed
[03:02] <bigjools> you need to version them appropriately :)
[03:02] <roaksoax> bigjools: indeed
[03:02] <bigjools> I won't test today then, let me know when you're set
[03:03] <roaksoax> bigjools: please, do test it today
[03:03] <roaksoax> bigjools: I have it in ppa:andreserl/ppa
[03:03] <bigjools> ok
[03:03] <bigjools> I'll let you know how I get on then
[03:03] <roaksoax> bigjools: ok, awesome then!
[03:04] <roaksoax> i'm off now for real :)
[03:04] <roaksoax> have a good day
[03:04] <bigjools> roaksoax: cheers!
