[00:41] <xnox> CarlFK:  i have added in recent releases support for ip= vlan= url=http:///subiquity*.iso which does netboot, download .iso, loopmount, boot.
[00:42] <xnox> CarlFK:  many of the things you are specifying are debconf preseeds
[00:42] <xnox> CarlFK:  and autoinstall=http://*.yaml will go somewhere somehow too
[00:44] <CarlFK> xnox: debconf preseeds have a bunch of aliases - if you can use the same strings, that would be handy
[00:44] <CarlFK> also the url= magic that constructs a path from host + namespace + release name
[01:01] <xnox> CarlFK:  our explicit goal is clean design, none of the existing keys are expected to have anywhere near the same meaning or compatibility =)
[01:02] <xnox> CarlFK:  everything should have only one key. And not long form key; d-i preseed type key; cmdline/long-arg; cmdline short arg; alias; legacy option; mega option that combines other options..... as is the case with d-i =))))))
[01:03] <xnox> so, debconf preseed aliases are bad =)
[01:03] <xnox> which is not actually debconf, but d-i, despite being backed by debconf.
[08:59] <RikMills> does casper still not have git branches I can do a merge proposal to? all I find is the archive import ones
[10:52] <faction> How to debug a Makefile project? Specifically I need to be able to step though the conditional rules of sub-Makefiles of linux kernel project.
[11:00] <cjwatson> I've never seen a way to step through Makefiles
[11:00] <cjwatson> $(warning ...) can be helpful
[13:29] <cpaelzer> thanks rbasak for the systemd 244 trigger with libseccomp
[13:30] <rbalint> cpaelzer, welcome ;-D
[13:30] <cpaelzer> arr again tabbing with rb prefix seems always wrong - this time I meant rbalint
[15:26] <Odd_Bloke> bdmurray: We've had a cloud-init bug report that appears to be a blkid (i.e. util-linux) issue in bionic.  I've added a util-linux bug task to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/util-linux/+bug/1856560, is that sufficient for it to get onto your triage list?
[15:28] <bdmurray> Odd_Bloke: the rls-$$-incoming bug tag would get it on our list
[15:33] <Odd_Bloke> bdmurray: Is it appropriate to do that for any bug, or are there criteria I should consider before using those tags?
[15:35] <bdmurray> Odd_Bloke: Consider whether or not you really want to get it on our list?
[15:36] <Odd_Bloke> I will ruminate.
[15:36] <Odd_Bloke> Thanks!
[17:33] <seb128> doko, gcc-9 in focal-proposed makes pocl ftbfs, https://launchpadlibrarian.net/456053963/buildlog_ubuntu-focal-amd64.pocl_1.3-9build1_BUILDING.txt.gz
[17:33] <seb128> doko, unsure what info would be useful in a bug report?
[17:53] <bdmurray> seb128: reading the upstream bug related to bug 1843262 it seems like the issue is a due to a corrupted database. If there is a way to reset the database i.e. clear it out and build a new one maybe that should be added to the bug report.
[18:06] <seb128> bdmurray, right, done now
[18:14] <bdmurray> seb128: thanks!
