| infinity | There. Mosh works on ppc64el. Port done. Nothing else matters. | 02:11 |
|---|---|---|
| teward | has an official date been decided for the quantal EOL yet? | 14:16 |
| stgraber | arkose has been badly broken for about a year due to LXC changes, changes to su, kernel changes and the introduction of userns | 20:54 |
| stgraber | I won't have time to fix it this cycle, so I plan on getting it out of 14.04 entirely | 20:54 |
| infinity | :( | 20:55 |
| infinity | Poor arkose. | 20:55 |
| stgraber | the upload above does just that for Edubuntu (only seeder of those packages), I'm also going to push a matching installer slideshow update and then file and archive removal bug | 20:55 |
| stgraber | all the features I ever needed for arkose now exist but it needs pretty much a full rewrite to use them and that won't happen by release | 20:55 |
| stgraber | I still hope for a 2.x release which will use userns and unprivileged overlayfs to provide the exact same features but without requiring any privileges | 20:55 |
| infinity | stgraber: Maybe you can rewrite it in a language that doesn't suck next time. ;) | 20:57 |
| * infinity blinks at ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu being in the kubuntu packageset. | 20:59 | |
| stgraber | infinity: well, I don't feel like doing it in C, so my other options for the LXC binding is Go, Lua, Ruby or Python3. I think I'd stick to Python3 :) | 21:00 |
| infinity | stgraber: No perl? | 21:01 |
| infinity | (But yeah, C was what I was suggesting) | 21:01 |
| stgraber | infinity: bug 1299904 (I probably shouldn't be processing that one myself) | 21:01 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 1299904 in arkose (Ubuntu) "Please remove arkose from the archive for 14.04" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1299904 | 21:01 |
| infinity | Seems weird to sandbox potentially tiny/fast C applications by running a massive python interpreter. | 21:01 |
| stgraber | I suspect 90% of arkose's code could now go away as it's since been re-implemented in liblxc itself so maybe doing it in C wouldn't be as horrific as it'd have been for the initial implementation :) | 21:02 |
| infinity | shell would work too, I suppose, if there were enough CLI utilities to make that work. | 21:02 |
| stgraber | the GUI and nautilus integrations would probably remain python, because those are definitely a pain to do in C :) | 21:02 |
| stgraber | yeah, shell would be an option, I "think" I could actually do that with the current LXC tools, definitely a fun thing to try if it wasn't for ENOTIME... | 21:03 |
| infinity | PS: Thanks for hiding your slideshow change in the middle of a translation update. | 21:04 |
| stgraber | infinity: sorry :( | 21:04 |
| infinity | Oh, hah, you just commented out the slide. Kay. | 21:04 |
| stgraber | yep, that's the usual way. Removing it would also remove the translations which may one day be useful again. | 21:04 |
| infinity | stgraber: Yeah, seems sensible to me. | 21:06 |
