thafreakthere was a tool back in the original redhat days, called apt4rpm01:25
thafreakthat was my first time using apt...01:25
thafreakthat was also pre-yum01:25
thafreakwhen rpm dependancies had to be resolved manually...which sucked01:25
thafreakso apt4rm was really nice01:25

skellatOne for paultag: https://github.com/e14n/pump.io/issues/11803:33
jenni[ Debian package · Issue #118 · e14n/pump.io · GitHub ] - https://j.mp/10VydlB03:33
paultagI can't get into my pump.io03:33
paultagerm, identica03:33
paultagsince I had a LP login03:33
paultagvia OpenID03:33
paultagand I can't email recover03:33
skellatYou never had an e-mail set up?03:34
skellatHmm03:34
skellatThere is a ticket filed on that03:34
paultagThis user account has no email address.03:34
paultagsucks03:34
paultagidenti.ca totally jumped the shark03:34
skellatYou're not the only one who missed the couple weeks of notices on that03:35
paultagsuch a shame03:35
paultagya03:35
skellatHow horrible do I sound in the packaging discussion above?03:35
paultagLet me open it in a sec03:35
paultagworking in NEW03:35
Unit193Thought identi.ca turned into a spam pit a while ago.03:36
paultagheh, pump is node03:37
skellatUnit193: Nah, that got killed ruthlessly.  Sometimes legitimate users got slammed too.03:37
skellatpaultag: But notice the issues I flagged with that nasty little dependency...03:38
skellatShipping a private copy of node.js in a package probably violates packaging policy, I assume03:38
paultagskellat: pushing so hard for stable, why?03:38
paultagwhy not just wait until node gets into testing and backports03:39
skellat:-)03:39
paultagskellat: also is pump really in a shape to be uploaded to Debian?03:39
skellatpaultag: Evan wants to build a pump.io appliance03:39
paultagskellat: if someone has a bug in 4 years when this version is in stable, will it get attention or "you're running out of date code, we're at v100000, what are you using that for"03:39
paultagperhaps you should upload it to experimental.03:40
skellatpaultag: That's still the question being batted about03:40
paultagi see03:40
paultagyes, I agree. Wait until there's a compelling reason03:40
paultaguntil then use a local archive + ppas03:40
skellatIdentica collapsed once after the transition03:40
paultagyou have to really ask if this is going to be supported; if not, it's not fit for stable03:41
paultagwhich is part of why node it's self isn't in03:41
skellatHence why I'm also talking to an FTPMASTER03:41
paultagskellat: rc-buggy, btw, isn't about rc buggy behavior03:41
paultagit's the rc buggy car from toy story03:41
paultagit's a joke03:41
paultagskellat: >:D03:41
paultag(you heard about that, didja :) )03:41
skellatWhich done did flew over my head03:42
skellatNever really watched the Toy Story films too much03:42
paultagit's a bit subtle for most people03:42
paultaghttp://s3.amazonaws.com/bonanzleimages/afu/images/1002/8369/TOY_STORY_RC_CAR_PICS.jpg03:42
jennihttps://j.mp/10VyPYw03:42
skellatEvan is a DD at least03:42
paultagwait, he is?03:43
skellatLast I recall, Evan Prodromou is a Debian Developer03:43
paultagevan@debian.org; confirmed03:43
paultagneato03:43
skellatWhen I did the private write-up to him about what it would take to do the appliance I noted that Debian was going to be the best route since it supported the most kerosene-powered cheese graters at the moment03:44
paultagskellat: I met him when he came to Boston :)03:44
paultagYeah, I'd say shoot for experimental03:44
paultagyou can requestsync it down if you need to03:44
skellatThe downstreams are the big worry if he goes ahead with the RPi appliance idea03:45
skellatRaspbian would be out of the question since they diverge a bit from Debian's own repo03:45
skellatPossibly03:45
paultagwell, setting up an rpi archive is a snaop03:46
paultagsnap03:46
skellatThe RPi has a nice price point but has so many inconvenient limitations that make it annoying for things like use as an appliance03:46
paultagand one of the rpi folks is a DD03:46
paultagerm, raspbian03:46
Unit193Pretty easy to do a normal repo too. ;)03:46
paultagplugwash03:46
paultagbrb trash03:46
skellatARMv6 instruction set makes it generally not play nice with Pure Debian armhf which is why Raspbian went through re-compiling03:46
skellatUbuntu won't touch ARMv6 instruction set03:46
skellatFedora ARM ran dog slow until it was re-compiled for ARMv6 as Pidora and that was just...not cool...03:47
skellatSlackware focuses on ARMv503:48
skellatGentoo's installation process looks a bit masochistic03:48
Derath-Srvrskellat: isn't Gentoo masochistic in the first place?09:35

Unit193http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1269#comment-402807 hah. ;P18:28
jenni[ Mark Shuttleworth » Blog Archive » Two weeks with Mir ] - https://j.mp/1bD5AOv18:28
Unit193And no, I don't often read that blog, I didn't even fully read that post either.  There is a Jeff in the comments that is worth reading, though.18:28
paultagskellat: I'm just an ftp-assistant, part of the ftpmaster team :)18:54
paultagskellat: but thank you :)18:54
Unit193Well you help me out enough...18:54
paultagUnit193: ♥18:54
paultagit's a pleasure to serve.18:55
paultagMen and women for others, and all that other Jesuitical stuff18:55
Unit193I've even contacted the Debian/Ubuntu packageer for grub about a patch, but he said to contact upstream. :(18:57
paultagdafuq18:58
paultagcjwatson? jordi?18:58
Unit193(New config option, so makes sense.)  Watson.18:58
paultagah yep18:58
paultagcjwatson is a great guy18:58
Unit193He didn't seem bad, not someone I'd want to contact often though just because :scary: :P18:59
Unit193He explained why, and it was very sane.18:59
paultag:)19:04
alpacaherderVery, very, very tentatively: http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/ubuntu-us-ohio/624/detail/19:08
jenni[ Ubuntu Ohio July 2013 Meeting | Ubuntu LoCo Team Portal ] - https://j.mp/15IaKGw19:08
=== ChanServ changed the topic of #ubuntu-us-oh to: Welcome to the IRC home of Ubuntu Ohio! | Check us out at http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-us-ohio/ | Current podcast (122): http://tx0.org/68x Speex Version (122): http://tx0.org/68y | MEETING THURSDAY: http://tx0.org/68z
Unit193Heh, for having "details" in the name, it's a bit lacking on their end. :P  I'd guess either the platform is lacking, or the agenda is one item?  (Well, guessing lacking platform either way.)23:16
skellatUnit193: Yet another bug I need to file against LoCo portal23:20
skellatEven though our time zone is Eastern Standard Time, the meeting tool is stuck in UTC23:21
skellatOkay23:23
skellatGot some more details added23:23
skellatGonna file yet more bugs23:23
Unit193(Not that I'm trying to nitpick, or complain.)23:23
skellatUnit193: There, does it look better now?23:24
Unit193Yes!23:25
