bgstack15LeePen: what is the process to get the new lightdm for Beowulf-proposed-updates built on jenkins?15:15
bgstack15that would be lightdm-1.26.0-4+devuan215:15
parazydbgstack15: I pushed some changes. We should maintain the repo in the logic that it looks like now16:01
parazydbgstack15: It will be much cleaner to keep it this way when more and more stuff starts coming in16:01
parazyd(Talking about devuan-sanity btw_16:01
parazyd)16:01
bgstack15parazyd: the txt file is just there for a txt2man wrapper I wrote. It doesn't need to be installed, but if you want it to be within the filesystem-looking paths in the repo, that's fine.16:05
parazydIt can stay :)16:06
bgstack15lol, OK16:07
bgstack15Is anybody in the Devuan community interested in seeing a FreeFileSync package?16:45
bgstack15I saw Debian has it in wnpp (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=925512) but I'm not a part of that community.16:46
fsmithredbgstack15, you have a script that turns text into man pages?16:51
bgstack15Well, I have a wrapper for the txt2man project (https://github.com/mvertes/txt2man) that adds the TITLE, SECTION, etc., sections16:51
bgstack15txt2man is in the Devuan (Debian?) repo16:52
fsmithredoh, and it has a command to extract comments from source code. That sounds like fun.16:54
fsmithredbut it'll miss the comments I mutter under my breath when I'm writing code. I guess that's god.16:55
parazyd:D16:55
fsmithreds/god/good16:55
bgstack15txt2man is a crazy awk script that puts mine to shame. Never realized there was a src2man in that suite before.16:57
fsmithredapt show <package> will sometimes yield valuable information16:58
fsmithredsometimes16:58
bgstack15I was migrating off of a Go-written tool, "md2man"16:59
bgstack15I love markdown, and I tolerate Go, but I think that compiling GO gets weird on the environments I use and I wanted something more reproducible.16:59
parazydBut the point of Go is that you can compile it anywhere and just copy the binary :)17:01
bgstack15If I wanted to statically compile something, I'd search for how to do that.17:11
parazydGo already does it17:14
