libera/#devuan-dev/ Thursday, 2020-04-09

onefangI was just speaking with the landlady.  The current ISP isn't even answering their phones, so she's switching to a different ISP that did answer their phones.  Which means we will be switching from ADSL2+ to FTTC (Fibre To The Curb).  Sometime in the next few days, though that might be "business days", and this weekend is easter, so might be a week.  While we wait, I'm still on phone data, which only h04:56
onefangas a day or two left before I need to pay for more.04:56
golinuxPad for this week's meet in here: https://pad.dyne.org/code/#/2/code/edit/x5t37klBnK3xESVe9RAe3GQP/06:31
onefangProgress, half of the FTTC is installed.  It's night time now, and tomorrow is a public holiday, and so is Monday.  So no idea when we will got the other half.10:05
gnu_srs1 LeePen: Did you also truncate the git log (how if so) when releasing elogind to Debian?10:47
LeePengnu_srs1: The git log isn't included in elogind.10:48
gnu_srs1(cd .../elogind/; git log) shows the git history even in the Debian branch10:50
LeePengnu_srs1: SOrry, I thought you meant in the package.10:50
LeePenNo, I just left git to do its thing.10:51
LeePen(Or am I misunderstanding you?)10:51
parazydfsmithred, Evilham: Any objections to me forking openrc and maintaining it in beowulf and forward?12:12
LeePenparazyd: What needs changing from the debian pacakge?12:16
parazydLeePen: A script fails to add openrc initscripts to specific runlevels. It also complains if LSB headers are missing. An if LSB headers are added, then the initscript ends up in a different runlevel than what was requested.12:18
parazydLeePen: Also, it starts disrespecting dependencies.12:18
parazydLeePen: So my plan is to fix this, and then try to upstream it.12:18
LeePenSounds good. My inclination is to try to fix it in debian if they will take the patches.12:19
parazydThat's why I first want to get it working in Devuan, since that's what we use in Maemo Leste :)12:20
parazydIt will speed the whole process up12:21
parazydThen if they take the patches, I can stop maintaining it here.12:21
LeePenYep. Debian uploaders are Thomas Goirlad and Adam Borowski who are good and open.12:23
LeePenThere is already a very out of date repro at devuan-packages/openrc12:23
parazydACK12:24
parazydSo is it fine if I take this?12:24
LeePen(PS, my n900 needs Maemo Leste ;-) )12:25
parazydLeePen: Just download it :p12:25
parazydLeePen: https://maemo-leste.github.io/maemo-leste-twelfth-update-february-and-march-2020.html12:25
LeePenIt is my only phone, so I need you to be a bit further on before I change over, I think.12:27
parazyd:)12:30
gnu_srs1LeePen: I have problems with the debian/watch file: eudev source: debian-watch-file-should-mangle-version line 6: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/eudev.git/snapshot/eudev-3.2.9.tar.gz14:49
Evilhamff14:56
Evilhamoops :-)14:56
Evilhamparazyd: go ahead, don't see why you shouldn't do that. Except maybe if you want to introduce too many changes to beowulf's version; maybe that'd be best not directly in main, other than that...14:57
parazydEvilham: Nothing major, just changing some specific logic14:58
parazydEvilham: Currently LSB headers are preferred, and I want to change it so that actual OpenRC dependencies are respected in the initscripts.14:58
Evilhamjust mentioning so you take it into account, use your judgement there14:59
parazydWhich makes a lot more sense to me and other users14:59
