godbykdsmythies: ping18:34
dsmythiesgodbyk: I'm here now19:36
dsmythiesgodbyk: But only for a few minutes. Otherwise I should be around for a few hours in a few hours.19:39
godbykdsmythies: Ah, I think I figured it out.19:47
godbykThe check_validation.sh script requires a newer version of yelp-check than what I have installed in 13.10.19:47
godbykI'm updating the shell script to do some checks on what the yelp-check command supports. Then we can use it anywhere.19:48
godbykI'm also adding color output just for kicks.19:48
dsmythiesgodbyk: Oh, crap, did I mess it up again?19:48
godbykdsmythies: No, it was just that the yelp-check command in Ubuntu 13.10 doesn't have the ids command yet.19:49
godbykdsmythies: Quick question for ya, though, related to bash.. Can I generate an environment variable name by nesting another environment variable value in it?19:49
godbykI want to have something like YELP_CHECK_SUPPORTS_x where x is stored in another environment variable.19:50
dsmythiesgodbyk: I don't know. I am not an environment variables whiz.19:51
godbykdsmythies: I may have found a solution on StackOverflow. I'll give it a shot.19:51
godbykWhen I'm finished with this script, I'll email it to you to test it before I commit it.19:51
godbykI want to make sure I don't blow everything up. :-)19:51
dsmythiesgodbyk: I should have checked my validation scripts changes on older machine. I think Gunnar and I agreed it should not require the newest yelp stuff, because it doesn't look as if it will make it in time.19:52
godbykWell, with my updates, the script should detect that the older yelp-check doesn't support a command and just silently skip that check.19:53
dsmythiesCool.19:53
godbykThen we can easily add new commands as they come about in the future and be backward-compatible.19:53
dsmythiesThat would be awesome.19:54
godbykdsmythies: Okay, I've got it working, I think.19:59
godbykI'll send you this script so you can test it out.19:59
godbykI'm going to do a bit of refactoring on it and work to speed things up a bit, too.19:59
dsmythiesIt'll be a few hours until I can get to it.20:00
godbykdsmythies: No worries.20:02
godbykdsmythies: There's no rush. I've got plenty of other things to work on, too. :)20:02
