| stgraber | cjwatson: so I was a bit bored tonight and couldn't think of a better way to use my time than try to merge netcfg since we're a tiny bit behind on that one. | 02:56 |
|---|---|---|
| stgraber | cjwatson: it's not the easiest merge ever but I'm making some progress. I ended up just generating diffs for all changes we ever made and I'm going through all of those one by one re-applying them on the current debian branch (seemed least painful than dealing with the thousands of conflicts a bzr merge would give me) | 02:58 |
| stgraber | cjwatson: alright, looks like I've got a plausible merge, including a diff that's actually readable now! Just need to get the package to build now (failing because of uncheck return values) and then do a massive amount of test on it (IPv6 and NetworkManager support being the bits I'm the most scared about) | 03:41 |
| stgraber | cjwatson: and got it building. Resulting changelog is http://paste.ubuntu.com/6280951/ and remaining delta (without the changelog) http://paste.ubuntu.com/6280952/ | 04:19 |
| stgraber | (not sure what's going on with tg.po though, I clearly didn't touch that...) | 04:19 |
| stgraber | anyway, time for bed, will do the testing tomorrow | 04:20 |

| stgraber | cjwatson: looks like my netcfg merge is pretty solid. It's just passed my IPv4/IPv6 automated tests. Now doing a quick desktop install with it to check the NetworkManager behaviour and if that looks good too, I'll upload in a couple of hours. | 17:07 |
| cjwatson | stgraber: *nod* Sounds good, thanks for dealing with that, I'd been putting it off | 17:08 |
| cjwatson | stgraber: The tg.po diff could've been a bzr plugin | 17:08 |
| cjwatson | stgraber: Looks like it should be reverted | 17:08 |
| stgraber | np. I figured that as most netboot users stick to LTS, it'd be a good idea to get netcfg into a more managable state :) | 17:09 |
| cjwatson | Yeah, definitely | 17:09 |
| stgraber | neat, netcfg actually seems to be configuring NM properly! | 17:48 |
| stgraber | so no more ifblacklist hack and a valid NM configuration on top of that, that's a huge improvement for anyone doing static IP desktop netinstalls | 17:48 |
| stgraber | first time I try an IPv6 static install in d-i, works fine but it's a bit confusing having to enter the netmask in full instead of using cidr (ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:: instead of /64) | 17:57 |
| stgraber | I guess I'll take a look at getting it to allow cidr, no idea how easy/hard that's to do in C | 17:57 |
| stgraber | ah, nevermind, it supports CIDR but you have to add it with the IP otherwise it prompts for the full mask, I guess that's reasonable | 18:07 |
| stgraber | looks like netcfg's NM config generator isn't perfect, the static config generated is invalid, I'll go back and fix the generator then | 18:32 |
| kentb | infinity: xnox sent me to you for this bug...it looks like the priority override for some reason didn't happen: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hw-detect/+bug/1243375 The idea with the changes in 13.10 was that the driver-injection-disk-detect would get loaded by default without having to pass any preseed parameters. It looks as if it wasn't | 19:54 |
| kentb | entireley fixed or something else is going on. | 19:54 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 1243375 in hw-detect (Ubuntu) "13.10 Server installer doesn't load driver-injection-disk package by default" [Undecided,New] | 19:54 |
| infinity | kentb: Ahh, indeed, no one bugged an archive admin about twiddling the priority. We can't do that post-release (at least, not in the release pocket)... | 19:57 |
| infinity | I can do it in trusty right now, before I forget. | 19:57 |
| infinity | kentb: If this is needed for saucy, I can copy it to the updates pocket and twiddle the priority there. Not sure if d-i will look at that, off the top of my head. | 19:59 |
| infinity | cjwatson: ^-- Any idea? | 19:59 |
| kentb | infinity: trusty's fine, as long as it's fixed there if you can make something work for saucy it'll be a bonus :) | 20:00 |
| * kentb forgot a period between there and if | 20:00 | |
| infinity | kentb: Fixed in trusty as of now (well, after the next publisher run). | 20:01 |
| kentb | infinity: excellent. thank you | 20:01 |
| infinity | kentb: If you can give it a whirl sometime in the next day and let us know if it still hates you, that would be informative. | 20:02 |
| infinity | kentb: We *could* probably fudge a fix for saucy, but if no one particularly cares deeply, I won't care either. | 20:02 |
| kentb | infinity: ok. I defintely will for trusty. Saucy is a 'nice to have' at this point. | 20:03 |
| infinity | (my guess is that just copying the packages from the release pocket to -updates and then overriding the priority in -updates would do the trick) | 20:04 |
| infinity | Well, would do the trick for netboot type installs. Wouldn't do much of anything useful for server ISOs. | 20:04 |
| kentb | right. got it. | 20:20 |
| stgraber | cjwatson: netcfg uploaded. If you have commit rights to the Debian git branch, most of our delta looks like it should be applied there too (FTBFS fixes, NetworkManager fix, dhcpv6_timeout change and the change to flush all addresses at least) | 20:22 |
| cjwatson | infinity: d-i looks at -updates by default for network installs, yes | 22:31 |
| cjwatson | stgraber: I ... may find time, not promising :) | 22:32 |
