11:29.05DocScrutinizer05to all devels:
11:30.29DocScrutinizer05could you pretty please have a look into apt-cache and, on apt-cahe policy (et al),  make it print the *whole* URL of the repository? It can't be a complicated patch, probably not taking longer than 30min, incl packaging and uploading to repo
11:33.09DocScrutinizer05I even would do it myself if I had a working sb environment here
11:33.43DocScrutinizer05but the overhead to install sb is factors larger than the patch itself
11:34.37DocScrutinizer05if you insist, I could point you to the exact source lines that need edits, as well as the type of edit it takes
11:35.02DocScrutinizer05but I guess that's an insult for any of you
11:35.11DocScrutinizer05;-)

12:08.24merlin1991huh
12:08.38DocScrutinizer05indeed huh?
12:09.06kerioapt-cache policy prints the repos' domains
12:09.14DocScrutinizer05kerio: what you're trying to tell me?
12:09.24kerioi'm giving you a temporary workaround
12:09.30kerioi'm sorry, i won't do it anymore
12:10.20DocScrutinizer05temporary workaround for what? how?
12:10.35DocScrutinizer05and you're doing what anymore?
12:10.45keriothose are almost mirrors of extras-devel and community-testing
12:10.48DocScrutinizer05you honestly lost me completely
12:11.15kerioand they'll let you identify the repo a package is from because the domain is different
12:11.25kerioin the output of apt-cache policy
12:11.32DocScrutinizer05mhm
12:11.44DocScrutinizer05doesn't help me usually
12:11.54keriohm, why?

12:12.46DocScrutinizer05or tools, like here
12:12.59keriowait, tools?
12:13.04kerioisn't that on rmo?
12:13.12DocScrutinizer05no

12:13.57DocScrutinizer05http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/devtools/maemo5#Installation
12:14.01kerio...so it *is* rmo
12:14.09DocScrutinizer05huh?
12:14.13DocScrutinizer05seriously?
12:14.20keriodeb http://repository.maemo.org fremantle/tools free non-free
12:14.26DocScrutinizer05indeed :-o
12:14.46DocScrutinizer05so wtf told me that apt-cache then?
12:15.03DocScrutinizer05see how urgently it needs a patch?
12:15.46kerioit's on both dmncs and on fremantle/tools
12:16.53kerioand it's the same package down to md5sum
12:16.53DocScrutinizer05thanks for pointing me at that detail that I missed
12:17.02DocScrutinizer05however the root issue is about apt-cache
12:17.25kerioit's not apt's fault that nokia botched the repositories badly
12:18.05DocScrutinizer05it does some insane filtering/cropping on URL that probably just needs to get commented out
12:18.19kerioyou do multiple repositories by having multiple distributions, not by changing directory
12:18.41DocScrutinizer05I do nothing
12:18.54kerionokia did rmo like that
12:18.57DocScrutinizer05apt-cache does too much
12:18.58kerioand we can't change it
12:19.15DocScrutinizer05we can change apt-cache
12:19.28keriogo ahead then
12:19.29DocScrutinizer05which is what I asked for
12:19.36kerioapt feels like the kind of thing that's an absolute hell to change
12:19.43keriounless you know the whole design
12:19.45DocScrutinizer05nonsense
12:20.27DocScrutinizer05MohammadAG changed apt-get to kick out some nokia-borne botch
12:20.49DocScrutinizer05I guess patching apt-get is way easier even than apt-get
12:21.03DocScrutinizer05I guess patching apt-cache is way easier even than apt-get
12:23.36keriohm, i wonder if this new rcS-late will fuck up my boot
12:24.25kerioalso, i wonder if /etc/event.d/rcS-late.dpkg-old will fuck the boot process up
12:25.28DocScrutinizer05any bogus files in /etc/event.d sound like a pretty bad idea
12:25.55merlin1991DocScrutinizer05: kicking out the nokia bits was easy
12:26.02merlin1991because the nokia source was an upstream tarball + patches
12:26.11merlin1991remove one patch and you kicked stuff out clean :)
12:27.32merlin1991hm actually in the case of apt it was a configure flag: cd build && CXXFLAGS="$(confcxxflags)" ../configure --disable-block-hidden $(confflags)
12:34.45DocScrutinizer05merlin1991: grepping the source for the string "Version table:" should yield some rough location of where to do that probably 2char patch
12:35.02DocScrutinizer05//
12:35.08DocScrutinizer05;-P
12:36.54DocScrutinizer05merlin1991: could you point me to a URL where apt-cache source is available online so I don't have to git pull it or whatever?
12:39.43merlin1991http://gitorious.org/community-ssu/apt/trees/master ;)
12:40.09merlin1991and if you want it locally, there is a download master as tar.gz button on the right
12:42.57DocScrutinizer05thanks
12:44.08DocScrutinizer05http://gitorious.org/community-ssu/apt/blobs/master/cmdline/apt-cache.cc#line1603
12:49.14DocScrutinizer05http://gitorious.org/community-ssu/apt/blobs/master/cmdline/apt-cache.cc#line1619 is the line that does the print
12:49.26DocScrutinizer05Indx->Describe(true).c_str());
12:53.04DocScrutinizer05and aiui http://gitorious.org/community-ssu/apt/blobs/master/cmdline/apt-cache.cc#line1615 SrcList->FindIndex(VF.File(),Indx is what populates Indx
12:57.38kerioah fuck it didn't
12:57.46kerioi mean, it did
12:58.01keriothis fucking shit right here
12:58.05kerioit's a package known to cause problems
12:58.06keriobut noooooooo
12:58.12keriolet's leave it in
12:59.34merlin1991kerio: wth you on about?
12:59.39keriosystem-services
13:00.02keriofucking up my boot
13:02.05merlin1991when will you learn to dpkg-diver changes to files that have been packaged?
13:02.11merlin1991*dpkg-divert*
13:02.50keriodpkg-divert doesn't work correctly for configuration files
13:02.52kerioit leaves shit around
13:03.03kerioand i told the new system-services to not generate fstab
13:03.21kerioand it's not generated
13:03.22merlin1991but did you keep your old fstab though?
13:03.30kerioyeah, it's not generated anymore
13:05.37DocScrutinizer05can any of you tell me why we messed with this already fubar fstab generation?
13:06.10keriowell, i don't quite know how to fix this
13:09.09keriook, restored the old rcS-late
13:09.13*** join/#maemo-ssu LauRoman (~LauRoman@5-14-93-40.residential.rdsnet.ro)
13:10.17kerioalright, the old rcS-late makes it work
13:10.45DocScrutinizer05wouldn't the only correct way to touch such stuff (when touching it at all) be to ask in /etc/sysconfig (or whatever) whether to keep the classic way to autogenerate fstab on each boot, or not touch fstab at all?
13:10.53keriono no, you don't get it
13:10.59keriothe new rcS-late is supposed to handle that
13:11.01kerioand it kinda does
13:11.08keriobut there's some problem, and it doesn't work correctly
13:11.12keriothe idea and design are sound
13:11.21kerioit's configurable via a file in /etc/
13:11.39kerioand it's fstype-agnostic
13:12.46DocScrutinizer05I can't see the problem from a inserted line   if ! [ -f /etc/dont-touch-fstab ]; then...
13:12.56kerioit's a bigger change
13:13.02kerioit also handles, in theory, different filesystem types
13:13.22DocScrutinizer05and that's beyond the top
13:13.35keriono it's not, it's perfectly doable
13:13.44kerioand if you don't do that, it's simply useless to allow a static fstab
13:13.47DocScrutinizer05it's nonsense
13:14.03keriobecause 90% of people who'll use it want to do so to use a different fs
13:14.17DocScrutinizer05so what?
13:14.36kerioso, if you have to manually change rcS-late to do so, you might as well also manually disable the fstab generation
13:14.43DocScrutinizer05do they need friggin automatism to detect what fs they manually installed on their MyDocs?
13:15.03keriono, but it doesn't require home to be ext3 and mydocs to be vfat
13:15.16kerioit just rolls with whatever fstab says
13:15.40keriounlike the stock rcS-late
13:15.40DocScrutinizer05well, then where's the problem?
13:15.49keriothe problem is that it doesn't work :3
13:16.02kerioand diagnosing boot issues is a PITA
13:16.35DocScrutinizer05omg, a "mount -a" fails?
13:17.06kerioit wants to do the nokia thing and check that home is mounted rw and not ro
13:17.23DocScrutinizer05<PROTECTED>
13:17.24kerioalso, you meant `mount /home && swapon -a`
13:25.13DocScrutinizer05the check for home being mounted r/w and not r/o has to go after the "fi" if above if's else branch
13:25.51DocScrutinizer05Of* above if's...
13:30.38kerioi see a lot of talking and not a lot of .diffs
13:30.56keriodon't steal my style
13:34.06DocScrutinizer05wut?

19:27.55ketil_kHello
19:30.04ketil_kI installed cssu testing on maemo PR1.3.1, but didn't understand how to do it correctly so now I have a desktop that is stuck at a wrong zoom level and which every widget stacks upon each others so I can't really start anything
19:31.59ketil_knever mind, I will try restoring the rootfs with backupmenu. Forgot about that possibility

20:22.21merlin1991ketil_k: the wiki clearly states that you have to rearrange the desktop widgets once
20:23.04merlin1991regarding zoom level, we took that functionality out, it can? not happen
20:23.06ketil_kThe problem was that I was not able to do the rearrangements
20:23.16ketil_kMaybe zoom was wrong
20:23.19merlin1991did the desktop stay in the middle like zoomed out?
20:23.28merlin1991with black space around it?
20:23.58ketil_kYes with black space
20:24.17ketil_kThe part of the top bar that could start applications was not reachable
20:24.28merlin1991if it wawsw like http://cdnm.at/~christian/maemo/cssu/Screenshot-20130609-230706.png
20:24.37ketil_kI restored my backup and try again now
20:24.40merlin1991then you could reach it only the zone to press is the original one
20:24.46merlin1991a simple reboot fixed it for me when that happened
20:25.19ketil_kNo it wasn't like that. Everything was stacked on top of each other so I could do nothing
20:25.29merlin1991the stacked thing is a nother story :)
20:25.51merlin1991I'm just talking about the zoom
20:26.08merlin1991so in other words a reboot + rearranging of your icons after that should have fixed everything
20:26.22ketil_kI hope it works better this time.

20:26.50merlin1991o_O Mag is in
20:27.06merlin1991hey there MohammadAG :)
20:28.57ketil_kI could not open any terminals and even though I managed to connect to the network I didn't get any ssh-connection so I couldn't do anything at all from any user interface. Anyway, if it works this time then it was probably a broken install.
20:29.46merlin1991nah it's rather a hiccup in the graphics driver / hildon-desktop, it happens once upon a time
20:29.55merlin1991did for me about a week ago
20:41.29ketil_kThis time the device is normal. I now understand that I installed too much too soon the last time.
