[08:56] <apw> rtg
[09:06] <apw> heh, that makes so much sense
[12:37] <Marex> Hi
[12:38] <Marex> I'm hitting this issue here http://www.spinics.net/lists/git/msg217736.html when I try to clone from kernel.ubuntu.com GIT repositories
[12:38] <Marex> would it be possible to contact the admins somehow ?
[12:38] <Marex> The patch for the issue has to be applied server-side and is already in upstream GIT repository, see http://www.spinics.net/lists/git/msg217744.html
[13:07] <apw> Marex, is that after a very long wait ?
[13:07] <apw> Marex, and ... does dropping the -q help
[13:07] <apw> was that you who said that ?
[13:08] <Marex> apw: dropping -q fixes it, yes
[13:08] <Marex> apw: it was me who posted to the git@vger ML, yes
[13:08] <apw> so you have a work around at least
[13:09] <Marex> apw: I'm invoking the git from Yocto build and as yocto adds the -q option to the git command line, the workaround is not much of an option
[13:10] <Marex> apw: would it be possible to get a proper fix applied ?
[13:10] <apw> Marex, well yokto isn't being very helpful now is it
[13:11] <apw> Marex, everything is possible, though that machine is on lucid, ick
[13:11] <apw> Marex, so i wouldn't bet my house on it
[13:11] <Marex> can the patch not be backported on that version of git? the patch doesn't seem too big
[13:14] <Marex> apw: the patches are here http://www.spinics.net/lists/git/msg217019.html http://www.spinics.net/lists/git/msg217020.html btw
[13:15] <apw> Marex, in the unlikely event that a patch against tip still applied it might well be possible, though it would have to go thorugh the SRU process so its not going to be less than weeks
[13:16] <apw> Marex, you would need to file a bug against git in the first instance 
[13:16] <apw> Marex, though can you not work round this by cloning the tree locally and then just doing the yocto commands against a local mirror?
[13:16] <Marex> apw: it's a server side bug, why would I work around it instead of fixing the server ?
[13:17] <apw> Marex, presumably because you arn't running the command for fun but to get somethign donw
[13:17] <Marex> apw: certainly, but it's not only me running into these issues
[13:18] <Marex> apw: I just so happened to be too annoyed by it to push for a fix
[13:19] <apw> Marex, the backport looks to be non-trivial, so its not going to happen right now
[13:20] <apw> Marex, can you file a bug against git with the relevant info above in the description please, 'ubuntu-bug git' and give me the number, so i can thnk about it
[13:21] <Marex> I dont even have a lunchpad account, would it be too much to ask to leave this in your hands ?
[13:21] <apw> well normally one gets the reporter to test etc
[13:23] <Marex> apw: let me see
[13:27] <Marex> ugh
[13:27] <Marex> apw: where do I need to navigate to file a bugreport for ubuntu kernel git ?
[13:28] <apw> file it against the package git, as that is the issue
[13:28] <Marex> it's rather git-core , no ?
[13:29] <apw> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/git/+filebug
[13:29] <apw> old 'git' went away somewhen in the last 2 years, and git-core -> git
[13:49] <Marex> apw: is this the correct bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/git/+bug/1228148 ?
[13:51] <apw> Marex, yep that lookfs goo thanks
[13:57] <Marex> apw: thanks, I will also update the redhat bugzilla, where this was initially reported and the git mailing list
[14:25] <apw> jsalisbury, yo ... we discussed using aliases for git bisect good/bad to allow reverse bisects to not blowup ones head ...
[14:26] <apw> jsalisbury, if you ended up codifying that, i wonder if it would make sense to update https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection with that knowledge
[15:01] <jsalisbury> apw, never put anything into code, just been keeping track in my head when I do them
[15:05] <apw> jsalisbury, ok ... 
[16:46] <apw> jodh, yo ... i have a couple of boxes which 'recently' are rebooting when i ask for power off ... ie when i say sudo poweroff it doesn't
[18:16]  * apw wanders to another location where there are beverages
[18:18]  * bjf thinks that's a fine idea
