[18:34] <godbyk> dsmythies: ping
[19:36] <dsmythies> godbyk: I'm here now
[19:39] <dsmythies> godbyk: But only for a few minutes. Otherwise I should be around for a few hours in a few hours.
[19:47] <godbyk> dsmythies: Ah, I think I figured it out.
[19:47] <godbyk> The check_validation.sh script requires a newer version of yelp-check than what I have installed in 13.10.
[19:48] <godbyk> I'm updating the shell script to do some checks on what the yelp-check command supports. Then we can use it anywhere.
[19:48] <godbyk> I'm also adding color output just for kicks.
[19:48] <dsmythies> godbyk: Oh, crap, did I mess it up again?
[19:49] <godbyk> dsmythies: No, it was just that the yelp-check command in Ubuntu 13.10 doesn't have the ids command yet.
[19:49] <godbyk> dsmythies: Quick question for ya, though, related to bash.. Can I generate an environment variable name by nesting another environment variable value in it?
[19:50] <godbyk> I want to have something like YELP_CHECK_SUPPORTS_x where x is stored in another environment variable.
[19:51] <dsmythies> godbyk: I don't know. I am not an environment variables whiz.
[19:51] <godbyk> dsmythies: I may have found a solution on StackOverflow. I'll give it a shot.
[19:51] <godbyk> When I'm finished with this script, I'll email it to you to test it before I commit it.
[19:51] <godbyk> I want to make sure I don't blow everything up. :-)
[19:52] <dsmythies> godbyk: 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.
[19:53] <godbyk> Well, 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] <dsmythies> Cool.
[19:53] <godbyk> Then we can easily add new commands as they come about in the future and be backward-compatible.
[19:54] <dsmythies> That would be awesome.
[19:59] <godbyk> dsmythies: Okay, I've got it working, I think.
[19:59] <godbyk> I'll send you this script so you can test it out.
[19:59] <godbyk> I'm going to do a bit of refactoring on it and work to speed things up a bit, too.
[20:00] <dsmythies> It'll be a few hours until I can get to it.
[20:02] <godbyk> dsmythies: No worries.
[20:02] <godbyk> dsmythies: There's no rush. I've got plenty of other things to work on, too. :)
