[02:05] <bkerensa> slangasek: [ 6337.035663] systemd-hostnamed[20119]: Warning: nss-myhostname is not installed. Changing the local hostname might make it unresolveable. Please install nss-myhostname!
[02:05] <bkerensa> you know what that is?
[02:05] <bkerensa> its in dmesg
[02:05] <bkerensa> also been seeing lots of this: "[ 6291.378390] traps: pxgsettings[19817] general protection ip:4014fa sp:7fff0ec6ee90 error:0 in pxgsettings[400000+2000]

[02:35] <slangasek> bkerensa: it's systemd-hostnamed having opinions that I do not share
[02:35] <bkerensa> slangasek: :)
[02:36] <slangasek> the right answer is for hostnamed to simultaneously take care of updating the 127.0.1.1 entry in /etc/hosts when it updates /etc/hostname; but we haven't patched it to do this yet
[02:36] <slangasek> but in any case, this isn't an issue that bothers people in practice
[02:38] <slangasek> as for pkgsettings, that's a very nice buggy piece of software that's part of the GNOME desktop stack now; I don't know how we've would up with such a buggy implementation
[02:42] <bkerensa> :D
[02:45] <slangasek> pxgsettings, rather; seems I have a hard time typing 'pxg' vs. 'pkg'
[17:06] <bkerensa> slangasek: is there any protip for merging upstream git branches into ubuntu source packages?
[17:07] <slangasek> no
[17:07] <bkerensa> I dont think bzr merge does this?
[17:07] <bkerensa> ok
[17:07] <bkerensa> :9
[17:07] <bkerensa> :( even
[17:07] <slangasek> bzr merge requires there to be a shared history; it doesn't allow you to "merge" from arbitrary foreign branches
[17:08] <slangasek> while a sensible design decision in and of itself, this is effectively one of the biggest reasons for bzr losing the VCS wars
[17:21] <bkerensa> slangasek: when building a package that I'm merging from upstream because debian not longer carries the source package the builds going to fail since a original tarball is not present.... How do I get around that
[17:26] <slangasek> you get an original tarball for it
[17:30] <bkerensa> slangasek:  you mean create one?
[17:30] <slangasek> if necessary
[17:30] <slangasek> which slack upstream is this that's not creating tarballs for their releases?
[17:31] <bkerensa> http://gitorious.org/vaapi/gstreamer-vaapi
[17:31] <bkerensa> unless I'm missing something
[17:31] <bkerensa> and I cannot find this package on Debian PTS anymore
[17:31] <bkerensa> which if why I'm grabbing this git branch
