cosurgienyc: yeah, but JackFrost said "This is pretty much status-quo, where package maintainers *could* remove init scripts if they so choose."12:56
cosurgienyc, JackFrost: so is that bad news or good news?12:56
* cosurgi woke up to anoher day of active systemd hating.12:56
cosurgigood morning everyone :)12:57
JackFrostIt could be worse.13:03
enyccosurgi: i'm not exactyl user,  but i think it important to  TRY to get  support-of-init-diverstiy  patches upstream, consistent with debians' now formalized policy13:50
enyccosurgi: uerrr not exactly sure13:50
cosurgienyc: :)17:55
enycplease try!18:44
golinuxHave been trying to get hold of chillfan since late spring.  Sent several emails but no response . . . till today.19:35
golinuxLooks like he won't be around to do documentation for beowulf but will be back at "some point"..19:37
golinuxSo we will have to take on writing beowulf documentation without him.19:39
xrogaanis he doing ok?20:08
gnu_srs1LeePen: I have now a preliminary version of eudev-3.2.9-1. Some lintian warnings are still showing up.20:27
gnu_srs1I'll test-install when the following issues is solved: The upstream tarball contains generated files like Makefile.in, aclocal.m4 etc.20:29
gnu_srs1Running autoreconf modifies these files and building from the same source a second time complains the the .orig files have changed.20:31
gnu_srs1What to do: 1) Not running autoreconf or configure or 2) Remove all generated files with a Debian patch from the .orig tarball?20:33
LeePengnu_srs1: Thanks. I think it shouldn'tbe21:38
LeePenbe a problem. The package is only built once from the extracted sources.. You should be testing with gbp buildpackage which exports a tag and then builds.21:40
LeePenAnd use pbuilder and cowbui.der.21:41
LeePenThat replicates the buildpipeline env pretty closely.21:42
rrqfsmithred: does the 2.1 i386 iso boot with uefi?22:44
fsmithredrrq, I'm not sure22:45
fsmithredI'll try now22:46
fsmithrednope.22:47
fsmithredjust to be sure, I'll try a different ia32 boot image22:48
golinuxThis is what you posted a few days ago:22:48
golinux<fsmithred> rrq, I can't get the i386 netinstall to boot uefi mode in virtualbox. I can get into the Tianocore setup interface, find the ia32 bootloader in the iso and try to boot from file, but it doesn't work. (Normally that does work for me.)22:48
fsmithredok, I can't get the ia32 image in an older Refracta iso to boot from file in qemu.22:54
fsmithredso it's me, not necessarily the iso22:54
fsmithredcould be both22:55
rrqyou wouldn't have a bare metal i386 with uefi I suppose22:55
fsmithrednope22:55
fsmithredI altered refractasnapshot some time ago for someone who needed 32-bit boot and 64-bit OS for an old macbook pro22:55
fsmithredso some of my amd64 isos have both amd64 and ia32 boot images22:56
rrqas I looked into tianocore it seems you'd have to compile your own bios code for i386; the precomiled I could find are all for x86_6422:56
fsmithredoh22:56
fsmithredvirtualbox any better?22:56
rrqwouldn't think so22:57
fsmithrednope22:59
rrqI'll see if tianocore is easily compilable for me22:59
fsmithredjust tried netinstall22:59
fsmithredwe need to advertise for someone who has the right hardware to test?22:59
fsmithreddoes it even exist?23:00
fsmithredI have to go out for a couple hours. Ping me later if you want me to do something.23:00
rrqcheers23:00
fsmithredsee ya23:01
