Centurion_Danpalinuro: I'll check it out02:40
Centurion_Danthanks.02:41
fsmithredpalinuro, where can I get the parrot repo key?03:08
fsmithredI think I found it03:11
onefangAfter some discussions with Evilham, I've been working on a new, easier to use, mirror checking script.07:57
onefang https://sledjhamr.org/cgit/mirror-checker-lua/about/ though it's still a WIP, it doesn't actually produce emails or web pages yet.  At least you get logs though.07:57
palinuroonefang what about https://github.com/etix/mirrorbits09:02
onefangThat looks more like CDN software that happens to have it's own monitoring.09:04
onefangI don't think we are planning that drastic a change to how we provide mirrors.09:05
onefanghttp://deb.devuan.org/mirror_status.html is what we currently produce, and a similar email that is sent weekly to mirror admins.09:10
onefangWell, vaguely similar, they are produced by different scripts, written by different people, in different languages.  Among other things, I'm combining the two.09:13
Evilhampalinuro: mirror bits is cool and if you wanted to help set it up and maintain it for files.devuan.org, that can probably be talked about10:02
EvilhamBut it won't work for debs10:03
onefangI am planning on adding support for files.devuan.org to my checker script.10:05
onefangBut as Evilham said, this checker script is currently testing the deb mirror servers, not the files ones.10:37
EvilhamThe nice thing about mirrorbits is that it'd distribute traffic between the mirrors, for files.d.o it's nice to have10:45
EvilhamFor deb.d.o it would be , but it can't be used because of how it works10:45
LeePenHi all.11:03
LeePenThere have been no problems reported with slim-1.3.6-5.1+devuan4 in ceres. Can we move it to beowulf?11:04
Centurion_DanLeePen: yup12:55
LeePenCenturion_Dan: Thanks very much.13:07
jaromilgrub2 fixed for UEFI here https://git.devuan.org/palinuro/grub2/tree/debian/2.02+dfsg1-19devuan113:21
* jaromil struggling with a stranded server because of this bug13:22
jaromilpalinuro is here13:23
fsmithredjaromil, can you access the server to chroot it?13:25
jaromildon't know?13:26
fsmithreddo you have physical access?13:26
jaromili have no idea which server you mean?13:28
fsmithredthe one you're struggling with13:28
jaromilthe one i have problem13:28
fsmithredbecause of the grub2 problem13:28
jaromiloh yes sure a colleague is dealing with it13:28
fsmithredoh, ok13:28
jaromilwe need a workaround for now13:29
fsmithredif we're talking about the uefi bug, there's an easy workaround13:29
jaromilor boot by hand13:29
fsmithredgrub-install --bootloader-id=debian13:29
jaromillet me know i'll tell alv13:29
jaromilhe'll try now thanks13:29
Centurion_DanI'll have to rebuild the patch against a base from debians git repo13:29
fsmithredI know it may be painful to do that. Give alv my apologies.13:29
jaromilCenturion_Dan: why don't we ask palinuro to do that?13:30
jaromilfsmithred: it worked!!! thanks!!!13:31
fsmithredyw13:31
jaromil<313:31
fsmithredbeen there, done that13:31
Centurion_Danjaromil: Can do, but that will take time too.13:31
jaromilCenturion_Dan: I recommend we distribute responsibility and let maintainers engage with the correct flow13:32
jaromiltime is a secondary issue13:32
jaromilimho13:32
Centurion_DanSure, but that takes time and coordination, and the implication I got is that this is an urgent bug.13:33
fsmithredwhat package pulls in grub-efi-amd64-signed?13:36
Centurion_Danpalinuro: Hi, can I engage you in fixing the grub bug and learning about our processes?13:38
Centurion_Danfsmithred: so this uefi issue is related to the signed shim?13:41
palinurocenturion_dan yes i would like to follow the package over time, but i don't know what is your way to do such things13:43
jaromilfor now would be just to start from a git history preserved from the fork (from alioth)13:44
fsmithredfrom salsa?13:44
jaromilthe bug is not urgent, since beowulf is not stable yet13:44
jaromiloh, salsa13:44
fsmithredit will need to be fixed for the next mini.iso13:44
jaromilyes indeed13:45
jaromilwhen we did mini.iso last? I have no vision on this, its obscure to the point we were almost planning to start rolling our own builds at dyne13:45
Centurion_Danpalinuro: Great.  For a start whenever we can we try to be based directly of Debians git source.  The easiest way to find it is to use https://tracker.debian.org and enter the package name.13:45
fsmithredI think it was February13:46
jaromilthe debian-installer is waiting for a spin, mentioned in the past 2 or 3 weekly meetings13:46
jaromillets do it if we include this fix13:46
Centurion_DanIt's spinned, for unstable today, and ascii about a week ago.13:48
palinurocenturion_dan i can rebase the whole patches thing on top of a clean grub2 source taken from salsa13:48
jaromilgreat! thanks Centurion_Dan13:48
palinuroi'm not new to dep14 git packaging, so i should be able to provide clean tags there13:48
Centurion_Danpalinuro: that would be great. :-)13:48
jaromilpfect13:48
Centurion_Danjaromil: I even got the arm archs building again today ;-)13:49
palinurojaromil i haven't played with d-i yet since the linux cross-compilation is so slow that i'm still waiting the latest 4.19.0-5 to finish its build13:49
Centurion_Danjaromil: to be honest I'm a bit surprised at the lack of arm64 hardware is supported by d-i13:51
Centurion_Danjaromil: is their a particular suite of d-i you were interested in??13:52
palinuromy plan to rebuild the whole d-i from scratch is still valid lol14:01
palinuros/rebuild/rewrite/14:01
Centurion_Danpalinuro: yeah it's a bit of a mess.14:01
jaromilarm archs are building thanks to our computer here in the office actually, that's what parazyd setup the other day14:02
jaromili'd love to hear back from ungleich since they have the same soft-iron14:02
Centurion_DanBut I'd settle for a fix to the makefile so it will be smart enough to figure out the kernel-abi from the packages available.14:02
jaromilthe main suites interesting are ascii and beowulf14:03
Centurion_Danjaromil: you have a SoftIron :-o14:03
Centurion_Danjaromil: yes, I very much appreciate parazyd fixing that.  I even got remote access to the new arm builder :-p14:04
jaromilCenturion_Dan: was the first piece of equipment bought with decode14:05
Centurion_Danjust didn't realise it was a SoftIron :-D14:05
jaromilits a small softiron14:05
jaromilgreat machines14:05
Centurion_DanI will abuse it with much package building :-)14:05
jaromilits very hot in here best to keep it to the minimum indespensable14:07
jaromilwould love to have ungleich on board with that too14:07
jaromilthey have two soft-irons14:07
jaromilkeep an eye on the termal sensors14:08
Centurion_Danok.14:08
fsmithredput it in the refrigerator in a plastic bag.14:09
Centurion_Danjaromil: I'm trying to get debian-installer to produce an image suitable for my espressobins (marvell 7320)14:10
onefangWiFi doesn't work so well in a 'fridge.14:11
fsmithredgood point. Also, how big is it?14:13
fsmithredI'm finding pictures of data centers, not little boxes sitting on chairs14:13
jaromilbbl14:19
onefangYes, I'm up early enough to attend a meeting, the day before the meeting.  It's purely by accident, and it's likely it'll be the same tomorrow, if I'm up at this time it'll be by accident.  Though I want to attend this week.22:24
onefangI blame a faulty smoke detector.22:24
Centurion_Danonefang: I hate it when that happens... but better a fail loudly then a silent demise...22:46
onefangIt seems to be cold related, so tends to go off between 4 and 7 AM.22:48
