[02:38] zequence: getting things to work in ubuntustudio-install with packages on the commandline was much harder. I finally gave up on bash and have moved to perl. perl deal much nicer with strings than bash does. [02:40] ubuntustudio-install now takes packages on the commandline checks to see if they exist in the repos the system knows about, grabs the description at the same time... [02:41] then creates the selection dialog and installs whatever the user has selected. [02:42] The install progress screen is writen in perl, so no new depends are added as I am not using any special perl modules or extras. [02:50] (30 lines of code, 20 lines of comments) [03:37] zequence: new branch: https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-dev/ubuntustudio/ubuntustudio-installer [04:33] zequence: I have uploaded ubuntustudio-installer to my ppa so I can see how it builds and installs. [04:35] It is missing an icon for the desktop file... I'll work on that unless one of our artists beats me to it :) [06:33] OvenWerks: Nice. I'll try it out tomorrow [06:33] We also need to do something about -controls before feature freeze. My idea right now is to do a quick rewrite of it [06:33] make it a simple indicator app, with launchers to system settings and your installer [14:23] zequence: sure, I was thinking that a generic uninstaller might be nice too. [14:38] (as in a generic kernel uninstaller) [14:39] but we should fix grub to default to low latency anyway. [15:05] Hmm, if a package/meta is already installed, I should probably not list it :) [15:07] It doesn't hurt anything to list already installed stuff... makes easier testing. I will put a switch in my code to turn it off and on. [22:54] OvenWerks: its just like... [22:54] Ya I know. [22:54] "i want to help!, how can i help?!" [22:54] and the first thing on the list is /join this channel ;) [22:55] whatevs... [22:55] you never know [22:55] they might test iso's [22:55] that would be helpful [22:55] smartboyhw started that way too. [22:55] yup [22:55] and he's quite helpful
