jjesse-homeok this might be one of the worst job ads I've seen "Do you offer the Net to go with the Dot? The # to go with the C? The “j” to complete the Query? The right mix of P’s, H’s, and P’s to have the experience we need in PHP? Can you make it all happen with an O an O and a P through OOP? "00:21
snap-lDo you break your bytes into bits?00:55
snap-lwe can't function without your methods, so break from your normal case and gosub us now00:57
snap-lWE promise we won't break you.00:58
snap-lor leave you in an infinite loop00:58
snap-lWe're anything but routine01:01

rick_h_http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/1/1/57563-teak-asia-stool.html isn't bad looking02:35
rick_h_shame they didn't curve the legs some to go with the top but that makes it a pita to make I guess02:35
derekvi royally declare the state of computing to be,... bullshit02:36
rick_h_now here you go http://cgi.ebay.com/Danish-Modern-Teak-Stool-Chair-Bench-Mid-Century-Wegner-Finn-Juhl-Eames-Era_W0QQitemZ290781763219QQcmdZViewItemQQssPageNameZRSS:B:SRCH:US:10102:36
rick_h_jcastro: ^^02:36
rick_h_derekv: and the new part of this statement is? :P02:37
derekvso i figured out you can compile hundreds of dependancies deep in freebsd generally without a problem02:38
derekvall with their nested ports makefile system02:38
derekvas long as its a fresh system02:38
derekvtrying do maintain updates that way02:38
derekvthings go way out of wack02:38
rick_h_updating is hard, let's go shopping02:39
rick_h_jcastro: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Grade-A-Teak-Wood-Stool-W-Shelf-Shower-Spa-Bath-Bench-Outdoor-Garden-Patio-New-/290614467120 isn't bad looking02:40
derekvbasically want I want is a system where I specify what things are important to me.  if its important what version, I specify that, or if its important I have the most recent, I say so, otherwise give me the most stable that is known to match the other requirements I have given02:41
derekvinstead of upgrading02:41
derekvtake a snapshot of my system02:42
derekvrebuild from scratch02:42
derekvgiven the requirements02:42
derekvif something fails, or in the morning I find I don't like it, I get to roll back02:42
derekvdon't try to upgrade in place02:42
derekvjust, new system as per my requirements02:42
derekvapply my patches to config files02:43
derekvboot02:43
derekvrick_h_: you know how you made your makefile to roll out all the requirements, at least given an ubuntu system02:47
derekvI want that for my entire operating system02:47
derekvI don't care about upgrade02:47
derekvhere's the other way of putting it02:47
derekvworked on a system where customer data was in the database, but the scheme was evolving02:48
derekvwhat I wanted that never quit happened was this02:48
derekvwe started with the schema of the last release02:48
derekvCI applied the patches, including the schema upgrade scripts, given a snapshot or dump taken from the last release point02:49
derekvbasically at every commit, CI tries to do the full upgrade02:50
derekvpart of the "tests" that CI runs, is testing the upgrade process02:50
derekvI want that for my OS02:50
derekvthe previous release point is my current system02:51
derekvbut in my case, I think I can remove much of the "state" eg the database02:51
derekvjust start with a base OS install, apply patches02:51
derekvif I don't like, I back out, and adjust the patches untill they work02:51

rick_h_ugh, wtf...I think it's trapped02:59
rick_h_derekv: yea, but that's hard. I know with ubuntu we've worked on smoke tests and doing upgrades/etc02:59
rick_h_but it's not on a continous package by package and with 30k packages there's amore than a few combinations to test out there03:00
derekvrick_h_: its not trivial no ... thats why id be running tests on my own paticular combination03:27
derekvno OS packager could run tests on every combination, and its even more ridiculus when you throw in upgrades03:28

jcastroI got a tiny bit15:00

jcastrobut now I got some more, enough to shovel when added with the other stuff15:00
