tsimonq2 | Unit193: I heard some packagesets have things in main? | 00:20 |

sudodus | o/ tsimonq2 | 10:32 |
tsimonq2 | sudodus: hi :) | 10:45 |
tsimonq2 | sudodus: sorry I'm late from our planned time, this is when I wake up in the morning | 10:45 |
tsimonq2 | sudodus: around? | 10:45 |
sudodus | Yes, I see you now :-) | 10:47 |
tsimonq2 | so what do you have done in Git? | 10:48 |
tsimonq2 | have you done anything since our last little meeting? | 10:48 |
sudodus | yes, some minor things are uploaded. The unstable ppa contains mkusb 11.0.8 | 10:49 |
sudodus | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/mkusb/v11 | 10:50 |
tsimonq2 | ok cool | 10:50 |
tsimonq2 | I don't remember if I fully set up the stable PPA | 10:51 |
tsimonq2 | this is why I wanted to meet again, I don't remember what you know :) | 10:51 |
sudodus | and there is an unofficial version of mkusb-nox, that I'm working on, that can create USB boot drives of Windows 7-10 | 10:51 |
tsimonq2 | ok | 10:52 |
sudodus | I am still uploading directly to the PPA, not yet via github | 10:52 |
tsimonq2 | sudodus: so I assume that the Debian package removed that little blob that made it unacceptable to go into Debian? | 10:53 |
tsimonq2 | I mean, did you remove it? | 10:53 |
tsimonq2 | I thought I heard something about that | 10:54 |
sudodus | do you mean usb-pack-efi? | 10:54 |
tsimonq2 | maybe, please explain | 10:54 |
sudodus | It is a separate package now. | 10:54 |
sudodus | usb-pack-efi was originally uploaded by Andre Rodovalho, and helps creating drives, that can boot in UEFI mode, even with Ubuntu family 32-bit iso files. | 10:56 |
tsimonq2 | and you have made sure that it will absolutely 100% work without it? | 10:56 |
tsimonq2 | (if people don't want it) | 10:56 |
sudodus | It is possible to create drives that boot in BIOS mode and UEFI mode from 64-bit iso files *without* usb-pack-efi. | 10:57 |
tsimonq2 | ok, and you've properly made people aware of that when using mkusb? | 10:58 |
sudodus | See this link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/mkusb/persistent#A2._Using_data_from_the_source_iso_file | 10:59 |
sudodus | what do you mean properly? | 10:59 |
tsimonq2 | I'm thinking about some way of implementing a notice like, "usb-pack-ufi not detected" and explaining hy | 11:01 |
tsimonq2 | *why | 11:01 |
sudodus | There is a pop up window, where you can select usb-pack-efi (if it is installed). You can select to use it or not use it. | 11:01 |
tsimonq2 | ok cool | 11:01 |
tsimonq2 | have you fully tested this on Debian? | 11:02 |
sudodus | Please run mkusb (to create a persistent live drive) and try with and without usb-pack-efi! | 11:02 |
sudodus | When making standard live-only drives, usb-pack-efi is not used at all | 11:02 |
tsimonq2 | ok good | 11:03 |
sudodus | Yes, I think so - in Debian Jessie | 11:03 |
tsimonq2 | what about Sid and Stretch? | 11:03 |
tsimonq2 | because that's where they will go | 11:03 |
tsimonq2 | sudodus: after this I'll take one more look and go hunt down some victims...I MEAN DDs to upload ;) XD | 11:05 |
tsimonq2 | sudodus: then once that's done, it'll sync down to Ubuntu, and if anybody yells I'll be there :P | 11:05 |
sudodus | years ago I tested in Wheezy. I have not tested in any other version. I remember that it took time until it worked in Jessie - during the early stages things were weird (compared to Ubuntu), but getting closer to release things were getting nice. (I did some fixes for persistence, the functionality for live-only drives is very straight-forward and works in many linux distros). | 11:06 |
tsimonq2 | also since it says "works in Ubuntu" in some spots, once you've tested it, you should make sure that those spots are updated to include Debian | 11:07 |
sudodus | Yes, I agree, it should be validated for both Ubuntu and Debian. | 11:08 |
sudodus | Do you mean in the documentation - which documentation? | 11:09 |
tsimonq2 | aren't there some parts of the program that say that? | 11:09 |
tsimonq2 | I remember hearing the DD I was talking to saying something like that | 11:10 |
sudodus | Do you mean in the scripts mkusb and mkusb-nox themselves. That is easy to check :-) | 11:10 |
sudodus | What is DD? | 11:11 |
tsimonq2 | yup, that's what I'm talking about :) | 11:11 |
tsimonq2 | Debian Developer, they have upload access to the Debian archive | 11:11 |
sudodus | We'll try to keep the Debian Developers happy. | 11:12 |
tsimonq2 | yep ;) | 11:12 |
tsimonq2 | so you say you've done no releasing in GitHub. have you committed at all? | 11:14 |
sudodus | I grepped the script files, and yes, there is a home-work to do, to modify the text strings mentioning Ubuntu to include Debian | 11:14 |
sudodus | I did it once, right after our first meeting, but after that I have been waiting for you | 11:15 |
tsimonq2 | ok, but in order for me to package mkusb in a good way, ideally you'd git tag when you release | 11:15 |
tsimonq2 | what's been the changelog since we last spoke? :) | 11:15 |

tsimonq2 | ok | 11:20 |
tsimonq2 | sudodus: if you let me know when you've tested on Debian Sid and Stretch, I'll poke the DDs then :) | 11:20 |
tsimonq2 | but otherwise seems good to me | 11:20 |
sudodus | OK. If there are problems (which I suspect), it will take time, because I'm unusually busy this week. Next week there should be more time for this task. | 11:22 |
tsimonq2 | ok, thanks sudodus! :) | 11:22 |
tsimonq2 | I have to go now, gotta get ready for school | 11:22 |
