nacc_ugh, DO droplet, with only xenial-security enabled and then all 3rd party stuff19:08
daftykins;_;19:09
daftykinsDO's lovely though :D19:09
=== nacc_ is now known as nacc
* TJ- has steam coming out of his ears23:24
naccsomething is fubar23:26
naccdunno what :)23:26
TJ-I do!!23:26
* nacc is busy doing the PHP7.2 migration23:26
TJ-But I'm too polite to day23:27
naccheh23:27
TJ-I'm not sure who's got the better task here :D23:27
naccTJ-: you. a thousand times you :)23:29
naccmanual bootstrapping of phpunit is a PITA23:29
daftykinso023:34
naccdaftykins: looped dependencies :)23:35
naccphpunit is used to test all of its own dependencies, which phpunit in turn depends on23:35
daftykinsi upgraded my ZFS test box to 18.04 for fun, that got stuck with plymouth text depending on lsb-release being configured, which depended on plymouth text being configured - that was fun23:36
naccdaftykins: was that the ping loop?23:37
nacc*a ping loop, i mean23:37
daftykinsnot sure how you mean 'ping' in the context of packages23:37
TJ-daftykins: the plymouth --ping bug23:38
daftykinsit wasn't an important machine - and i only upgraded for fun, so i just nuked it :)23:38
daftykinsi have no idea what that is23:38
daftykinsTJ-: oh you'd love this, it seems subiquity fails to even nuke a disk that isn't already blank, to install to23:39
TJ-plymouth gets stuck in a loop ping-ing itself23:39
daftykinsit was only trying to configure it at upgrade time, so i have no evidence to that23:39
TJ-daftykins: Yes, I saw that bug too when I was going through the list23:40
daftykinsah i didn't see anything along those lines earlier with a quick glance23:40
daftykinsessentially every feature of that installer doesn't work23:40
daftykinsoh and what's with this netplan rubbish?23:40
TJ-daftykins: that's why i's called _sub_iquity :)23:41
TJ-netplan isn't rubbish!23:41
daftykinswell it sure looks it when you have to write silly format config files23:41
TJ-The point is that they can be written in a single syntax and deployed to systemd-networkd, network-manager, ifupdown or anything else at boot-time without the admin needing to learn different net configs23:45
daftykinsyeah instead they just have to learn a ridiculous format judging by what i've seen :/23:45
daftykinsalso what's cloud-init about? sounded like it was going off online to do something23:46
naccdaftykins: http://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html23:46
TJ-It's YAML format23:46
daftykinsit has a quirky mix of new lines and square braces for comma separated lists and ugh23:47
daftykinsdoubt i'll learn to write out of those out from memory versus the lovely simple /etc/network/interfaces :)23:48
naccdaftykins: that's YAMLL23:48
naccyou can either use a [] list or a newlined, - started list23:48
daftykins:|23:49
naccand if you have to do anything even reasonaby compilcated (thinnk cloud) with eni, you'd know why it's terrible :)23:49
TJ-ifupdown is about 20 years old!23:49
naccyeah23:50
daftykinswell age isn't a very good argument23:50
naccin that it has't changed in 20 years while the entire industry has23:50
naccit is *an* argument, at lelast23:50
daftykinscan't see why this cloud-init junk needs to be on by default but ho-hum23:52
TJ-Because the massive majority of ubuntu-server deploys are now virtual machines or containers23:54
daftykinsextra junk to purge then23:57
