| tomreyn | sorry for the spam. it's all in there now. i wanted to ensure we keep the official EoL page in there, which was missing previously. | 14:55 |
|---|---|---|
| tomreyn | i.e. the "Releases" wiki page | 14:55 |
| dax | ? | 14:59 |
| dax | i don't see any recent factoid edit requests. are you sure you're sending to ubottu and not one of her clones? | 15:01 |
| tomreyn | dax: yes, i'm certain, i send it to ubottu in private messages and it responded, saying it had forwarded my edit requests | 15:16 |
| tomreyn | oh actually it didn't say it had forwarded my edit requests, sorry | 15:16 |
| tomreyn | it responded with <ubottu> I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 15:16 |
| tomreyn | here's my edit request: | 15:17 |
| tomreyn | !eol endoflife end-of-life eolupgrades eolupgrade old-releases oldreleases eolupdate is <reply> End-of-Life (EoL) is when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop. Ubuntu EoL: to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases | !Flavors: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOL | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | Extended security support: !esm | 15:17 |
| ubottu | tomreyn: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 15:17 |
| tomreyn | so what am i doing wrong there? | 15:17 |
| dax | !-eol | 15:28 |
| ubottu | eol aliases: endoflife, end-of-life, eolupgrades, eolupgrade, old-releases, oldreleases, eolupdate - added by Seveas on 2006-09-18 04:08:52 - last edited by dax on 2019-04-22 03:01:27 | 15:28 |
| dax | tomreyn: !no, eol is <reply> End-of-Life etc. | 15:28 |
| dax | tomreyn: factoids have one "master" name and can have aliases, you just mention the master name when editing. use !-foo to figure out whether "foo" is the master name or an alias (and it'll tell you what it's an alias of if so) | 15:29 |
| dax | i'm guessing this is why the ati one didn't show up the other day either :) | 15:29 |
| dax | anyway | 15:29 |
| * dax takes a look at the factoid change | 15:29 | |
| tomreyn | i looked up the Factoid (master term and aliases) at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi?search=End-of-life | 15:30 |
| tomreyn | you can see there how it starts with "eol " | 15:30 |
| dax | yeah, the list down the left is the factoid name and all of its aliases | 15:30 |
| dax | which is extra fun since it's space-delimited and factoid names can have spaces in them | 15:30 |
| tomreyn | yes this puzzled me before | 15:31 |
| dax | (if it weren't effectively unmaintained, this is the bit where i'd probably say to file a bug) | 15:31 |
| tomreyn | limnoria isnt unmaintained, but i don't know about the factoid plugin | 15:32 |
| tomreyn | and this may not be limnoria yet | 15:32 |
| dax | @version | 15:32 |
| ubottu | The current (running) version of this Supybot is 0.83.4.1. The newest version available online is 0.83.4.1. | 15:32 |
| dax | indeed not | 15:32 |
| tomreyn | https://github.com/Supybot/Supybot/blob/master/README | 15:33 |
| dax | yup | 15:34 |
| tomreyn | so...any luck with the factoid change, yet? | 15:43 |
| dax | dangit, sorry, got distracted pondering the limnoria situation | 15:44 |
| tomreyn | (if it'll take more time or you're unhappy with the change, that's fine, of course.) | 15:44 |
| dax | might be simpler if we just do "For more info, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOL and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases | 15:45 |
| dax | " | 15:46 |
| dax | since [EOL] discusses e.g. ubuntu-support-status which is useful for mainline Ubuntu too | 15:46 |
| dax | i think the last time this came up we decided that [EOL] links to [Releases] so we didn't need to do it too, but i'm not particularly convinced by that argument | 15:47 |
| dax | ubottu: eol =~ s%https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOL%https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOL and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases% | 15:49 |
| ubottu | I'll remember that dax | 15:49 |
| dax | !eol | 15:49 |
| ubottu | End-Of-Life is when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOL and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more info. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 15:49 |
| tomreyn | yes, that's better. originally i had nother part in there: Systems running after this date will accumulate security vulnerabilities, so upgrade in advance. | 15:52 |
| tomreyn | but trying to set this (while listing all the aliases like i did above) exceeded the line length and made my irc client wrap the line i meant to to send to ubottu | 15:53 |
| tomreyn | but your editing approach would work for that, if you wanted to add this statement. | 15:53 |
| tomreyn | but i'm happy as it is now as well. and i agree we need to keep listing both URLs (at least until we rewrite the community wiki to somehow better clarify this) | 15:54 |
| tomreyn | TLDR: thanks for your time (and please consider adding the extra sentence, but it's just nice to have). | 15:55 |
