| mitchdz | Is there a debhelper script to add a variable to the environment? I'm looking to add one and just thinking of appending to /etc/environment in .postinst one time, but curious if there's a script for that | 15:16 |
|---|---|---|
| mdeslaur | I doubt it, since setting environment variable would be against debian policy https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html#environment-variables | 15:37 |
| mdeslaur | though running dpkg -S /etc/profile.d/ on my system shows a bunch packages that do it anyway | 15:39 |
| mitchdz | It definitely feels a little messy of an implementation, and potentially error prone | 15:43 |
| mitchdz | Maybe I could change it to have the new functionality be default, since this change will be something that's opt-out, and I can instruct the user to manually add the environment variable to disable this change. | 15:43 |
| mdeslaur | have a sane default sounds like a good idea | 15:55 |
| tsimonq2 | juliank: Hi, I'm switching Cala to deb822 sources.list files at the dawn of NN. Now's your opportunity to object, and/or provide any guidance on implementation details. :) | 16:05 |
| juliank | tsimonq2: I guess you talk about that live installer thingy that iirc some flavours use? I guess comment on the foundations discourse or send an email to discuss, we should align all the sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources writers and unify them as much as possible, there should be a single source of truth. | 17:54 |
| juliank | We're still updating the spec on sources.list generators | 17:54 |
| juliank | I'm out for a week and playing with cat so don't expect fast responses :D | 17:56 |
| Eickmeyer | juliank: Afraid not. He's specifically talking about implementation in calamares, since that's what lubuntu uses. | 18:50 |
| tsimonq2 | juliank: Sounds good, send my regards to the kitty :D | 18:56 |
| mclemenceau | Ack bluca, Thanks for the heads up. definitely something to look into. | 21:08 |
