| Laney | how come paths in cgit use \ for separator instead of /? | 12:55 |
|---|---|---|
| Laney | doesn't matter, just curious :-) | 12:55 |
| cjwatson | Laney: it was an upstream change, I dug it up a while back. Let me see if I can find it | 13:08 |
| Laney | C:\ | 13:12 |
| Laney | cjwatson: I'm just being nosy really, don't spend time looking unless it's right at hand | 13:13 |
| cjwatson | Laney: remind me where you see it exactly? | 13:13 |
| cjwatson | ah yes, in <title> | 13:13 |
| Laney | yeah, interestingly the path in the body still uses \ | 13:14 |
| cjwatson | https://git.zx2c4.com/cgit/commit/?id=23f7dadaaba2817c92c42c0a642a3186aa8ef24d not super-informative as to the reason | 13:15 |
| cjwatson | IIRC the reversing was to try to get more relevant things earlier in the title | 13:16 |
| cjwatson | so maybe the backslash is meant as a sort of indication that the path is reversed? not sure | 13:16 |
| cjwatson | however https://git.zx2c4.com/cgit/commit/?id=e23f63461f17aeb770d47d9c3134414e549d1f0e changes it to « instead, so we'll get that eventually | 13:17 |
| cjwatson | when we redeploy on focal, I think | 13:17 |
| Laney | oh yes, heh, I didn't notice it was reversed | 13:18 |
| Laney | that makes some sense to me | 13:19 |
| cjwatson | it's a bit eccentric but I can kind of see the justification | 13:19 |
| JoBbZ | If I delete my PPA on launchpad, can I re-create it with the same name later? | 23:32 |
| cjwatson | JoBbZ: Yes, once it's finished deleting which might take up to an hour or so | 23:34 |
| JoBbZ | great, tyvm.. | 23:34 |
| JoBbZ | I uploaded a bad .orig.tar.gz file, so builds would just constantly fail | 23:35 |
| JoBbZ | and no way to replace the orig.tar.gz :/ | 23:35 |
| JoBbZ | (with the fixed one) | 23:35 |
| JoBbZ | that I could fine | 23:35 |
| JoBbZ | *find | 23:35 |
| cjwatson | JoBbZ: It's normally best to just bump the upstream part of the version, adding +repack1 or something | 23:36 |
| JoBbZ | be nice if there was a way to forcefully overwrite it | 23:38 |
| cjwatson | That's not planned, sorry, but bumping the version is pretty cheap and is what we normally advise | 23:39 |
| cjwatson | But you can delete and recreate the archive if you really prefer | 23:40 |
| JoBbZ | yeah, won't be a problem long term. I just didn't realize that the debian packagers actually deleted a number of files from the upstream source tarball, so it wasn't literally an original copy. Now I know that, I won't hit the issue in the future. :) | 23:42 |
| JoBbZ | thanks for the help :) | 23:44 |
| cjwatson | No problem. Yeah, that's sometimes done for DFSG-compliance reasons (though of course it may have been a mistake of some kind, I don't know) | 23:48 |
| JoBbZ | yeah, it's because it has RFC stuff in it | 23:50 |
| JoBbZ | I assume I'll be able to dput it again after a bit as well? (Right now, it says it was already uploaded to ppa.launchpad.net, even though the PPA disappeared from my site on the web page) | 23:51 |
| cjwatson | JoBbZ: That's a client-side check - dput -f overrides | 23:52 |
| cjwatson | JoBbZ: See "man dput" | 23:52 |
| JoBbZ | cjwatson: awesome tyvm :) | 23:56 |
