| cj | cjwatson: were you the one behind grub2? | 03:23 |
|---|---|---|
| cj | looks like you're on the pkg-grub-devel probably | 03:26 |
| cj | weren't you the sole maintainer at one point? I recall seeing my name on grub at one point :-) | 03:26 |
| |Ost`Age| | Good Morning | 11:20 |

| cj | so... why does I gets prompted to enter the mirror country if I specify ubuntu.osuosl.org instead of us.archive.ubuntu.com ? | 19:05 |
| cj | it doesn't look like make -j works for the rebuild_netboot target, eh? | 20:09 |
| cj | It takes 1:30 to rebuild the initrd with that target. it's seriously putting a crimp in my development lifecycle | 20:10 |
| cj | anyone have an example of using the classes selector? | 20:22 |
| cjwatson | cj: don't think there's any tftp preseed support, no | 20:28 |
| cj | looks like url=tftp://... works fine | 20:29 |
| cjwatson | cj: I'm a bit inactive at the moment, but I used to be active upstream and I maintain the Debian package. I don't think it would be fair to describe me as the one behind grub2 though; yes I have a fair bit of code in there, but I was late to the party | 20:29 |
| cj | and the busybox has a tftp client | 20:30 |
| cjwatson | oh gosh, so it does | 20:30 |
| cj | but I'm baking the files in to the initrd now | 20:30 |
| cjwatson | entirely hadn't noticed that fetch-url had a tftp method | 20:30 |
| cj | I thought you added that patch | 20:30 |
| cj | ha | 20:30 |
| cjwatson | no, git blame says it was Ryan Niebur | 20:31 |
| cjwatson | oh, I uploaded that particular version to Debian but there was lots of stuff in there :) | 20:31 |
| cj | your name was all over the debbug I think. | 20:31 |
| cj | so... classes... I can't find any examples. | 20:32 |
| cj | what does it do? just export some value for the early- and late- scripts to use? | 20:32 |
| cjwatson | is it still a thing? | 20:43 |
| cjwatson | I thought it was from the old auto-install, which I think was integrated in a somewhat different way | 20:43 |
| cj | okay. Maybe so. I guess that would explain why I can't find any examples. | 20:58 |
| cj | I am automating the process of preseeding a set of openstack nodes | 20:58 |
| cj | I figured I could use controller, compute, block and object as classes with slightly different preseed files for each | 20:59 |
| cj | but what I'm doing now is specifying file=.../${CLASS}.preseed on the kernel args list and having the first line of ${CLASS}.preseed be d-i preseed/include string preseed | 21:00 |
| cj | where ./preseed contains general values and ./${CLASS}.preseed contains specific values | 21:00 |
| cj | if I just wanted to build tmp/netboot/dir_tree/ubuntu-installer/amd64/initrd.gz is there a better target to use than qemu_netinst / rebuild_netinst ? | 23:15 |
