00:04.18lusisshould i email Maintainer: Debian GNOME Maintainers <pkg-gnome-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org>
00:05.22lusisaslo can we automate testing to prevent such situations from happening before package maintainer uploads are committed to repository?
00:05.33golinuxSearch the Debian and Devuan bug reports first
00:06.04lusisif my client apt program can detect the conflict, SURELY the repository can detect the conflict before accepting a commit, no?
00:07.01golinuxBugs exist.

00:38.01MetaYanI can reach devuan.org fine, but tried https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/devuan.org anyway and it reported "It's not just you! devuan.org is down."
00:39.05MetaYanMy mind went completely blank trying to figure out what that means...
00:41.50lusisi can reach it
00:42.22lusisis the package maintainer the correct person to notify when ceres, aarch64:  libgudev-1.0-dev : Depends: libgudev-1.0-0 (= 233-1) but 1:232-2 is to be installed?
00:49.51gnarfacelusis: probably, but not necessarily for that package, maybe the one that is to be installed
00:50.47gnarfaceMetaYan: all that means is that it's just down for them and nobody else, the same state you're using them to verify for your connection (nothing is special about their connection in this regard)
00:51.49lusisi'm not sure if it would be helpful for me to report this situation gnarface - since it seems like it should be automatically flagged
00:52.06lusisi don't want to waste people's time.  is it helpful to mention such broken dependencies in ceres?
00:52.33gnarfacelusis: in testing and unstable, i wouldn't bother unless it's still there for more than a day or two (more than a week or two in the case of offerings from nvidia)
00:52.46lusisthank you
00:52.49gnarfacelusis: chances are someone already knows it, and chances are that's the same person who did it

01:22.06frabbitdone. i run now Devuan Beowulf 3.0.0 with full disk encryption and donwgraded luks to version 1
01:22.38frabbitfsmithred: thx for the advice with the rescue shell from the installer again
01:23.09frabbitfsmithred: but when using manual partitioning u cant choose the luks version anywhere
01:23.19fsmithredyeah, I saw that
01:23.32frabbitso after install i started the installer again and used the rescue shell
01:23.43frabbitand that works just fine =)
01:23.45fsmithredhow many more of these are you planning to do?
01:23.57frabbitmany more what?
01:24.06fsmithredinstalls like this one
01:24.20frabbithmm minimal another one, why?
01:24.53frabbitor maybe two
01:25.07frabbitfor the beginner systems i dont use fde
01:25.22fsmithredIf you're planning to do several, it would make sense to make your own live iso from the current system to replicate it quickly
01:25.30frabbiti think thats a bit to confusing for them when they have to type in the same passphrase two times in a row
01:25.39fsmithredlol
01:25.50frabbitfsmithred: hmm.. i would need to maintain that
01:26.02frabbitnah it was two minutes of work
01:26.16frabbitand hopefully luks2 will support fde in the future...
01:26.52frabbitbut was pretty easy and nice, learned again something new =)
01:28.02frabbitbut i already have an old problem here on beowulf
01:28.38frabbitive had this beofre under ascii 2.1 and it was caused by a higher kernel version then 4.9
01:28.42frabbithttp://maemo.cloud-7.de/irclogs/freenode/_devuan/_devuan.2020-01-05.log.html#t2020-01-05T22:03:57
01:28.58frabbitthe xrandr command in .xinitrc isnt working
01:29.18frabbitits exactly the same behaviour like in january
01:29.49frabbitcommand is correct and works when i copy paste it into terminal and run it and also the other commands in .xinitrc working fine
01:30.57frabbitwhile that issue wasnt with kernel 4.14 i assume it exists from 4.19 on

15:26.56JTechnocan I have testing in sources.list, I used to have it but now I'm getting problems
15:27.07JTechnowith packages not updating
15:28.25gnarfaceit used to be beowulf and recently changed to chimera, highlighting why you shouldn't use the word testing
15:29.04fsmithredtesting is not necessarily testing
15:29.22fsmithredwe are no in sync with debian
15:29.25fsmithredno/not
15:29.52JTechnoso do I need to change it every time there is a new testing version?
15:30.09JTechnoor which is the proper way to always be in testing?
15:30.48gnarfacego by names and change it every time, that's what debian advises too
15:31.19JTechnook, thank you very much

19:22.44rwpI want to upgrade a friend's Debian Jessie 8 system not running systemd to Devuan Beowulf stable.
19:23.20rwpIs it sufficient to change sources.list to ascii to upgrade to there?  And then continue on to beowulf?
19:23.24fsmithredrwp, I think you can follow the directions for stretch to beowulf
19:23.29*** join/#devuan bsd4me (~bsd@98-106-74-65.gci.net)
19:23.36rwpAnd I am aware of many other practices that are necessary for clean upgrades too.
19:23.52*** join/#devuan xcm (~xcm@ipd114.250.tellas.gr)
19:24.03fsmithredcatch chillfan when he's around and he can tell you how hard it was to go directly from jessie to beowulf
19:24.11fsmithredwithout going trough ascii or stretch
19:24.28rwpI am fine with stepping through each major release point.
19:24.30fsmithredhe didn't write up the directions, but he said he did it
19:24.43rwpReading this now: https://devuan.org/os/documentation/dev1fanboy/en/stretch-to-beowulf
19:24.49fsmithredok. I'm not. I hate waiting for all the downloading, unpacking and configuring.
19:25.24fsmithredif it's decorated in red, you're on the right page.
19:25.44fsmithredyeah, that's it
19:25.57rwpThere is a lot of Devuan documentation that is written to help people avoid the Debian systemd infestation.
19:26.18fsmithredlol, that's the whole point of devuan
19:26.19rwpBut I already avoid systemd on Debian so much of that for my particular case is stuff I can ignore.
19:26.27fsmithredyeah
19:26.43rwpRight. Up through Stretch it was mostly easily possible to avoid systemd.
19:26.44fsmithredare you aware that elogind is now in debian?
19:26.50rwpBut in Buster it is a problem.
19:27.00rwpYes on elogind.  But it isn't available in Buster.
19:27.05fsmithredno???
19:27.08fsmithredwtf?
19:27.41rwpAnd also the process of trying to get to where elogind is running is a little interesting.  It looks like you need to edit the /var/lib/dpkg/status file temporarily to help it get installed.
19:28.15rwpI am not precisely clear on the details here so don't quote me.  When I started to read much of that I just said, no, and stopped doing things with it.
19:28.39fsmithredyeah, I would use that same approach (retreat)
19:28.55rwpBut Debian Bullseye 10 seems like it might have much of the problems worked through and be better again.
19:29.51rwpMy view is that just a few days before Buster release the systemd fanbois pushed through a few breaking changes that should never have been pushed through.
19:29.59fsmithredmaybe. I was able to do a netinstall of chimaera and make a live-cd out of it, and I was also able to upgrade an xfce system to chimaera. Both work better than I expected.
19:30.07rwpAnd so Buster creates an obstacle that breaks the timeline.
19:30.36fsmithredwould not surprise me.
19:31.43rwpThe situation all of the vitriol and caustic environment has created is that a lot of people "out in the field using Debian" just stopped participating in the community.
19:31.57rwpStopped upgrading too.  And that's bad for different reasons.

20:18.26rwpfsmithred, I have VMs intentionally on different releases as part of a test matrix.  Which includes Wheezy.
20:18.54rwpAnd I just got handed a request to make some old in-house CAD software last compiled in 2006 run on something post Jessie.
20:19.25fsmithredyou have the source code, I hope
20:19.35rwpSo...  To rebuild it the way it was last built in 2006 I just installed a pristine Sarge installation.
20:19.44fsmithredlol
20:19.48rwpYes.  Have full source to it.  It was a project I worked on back in the day.
20:20.34rwpA couple of the folks from the lab use it to teach an electronics class at the local high school.
20:20.53rwpNo one wants to pay licensing fees for current commercial tools from today.  $$$!
20:21.29rwpBut strangely Ohm's law hasn't changed in the last couple of years and so our old in-house tools are still good for teaching high school classes.
20:23.49fsmithredold books will still work for that, too
20:24.55rwpI like paper books.  Don't get me started about the online only temporary licensing for new textbooks!
20:25.21fsmithredI won't. We should avoid drifting off topic here.
20:25.41rwpI think after reading some that for Jessie upgrades I should take it to Debian Stretch and then follow the Devuan release notes for Stretch to Beowulf upgrades.
20:26.41fsmithredI'm gonna go outside while it's still light.
20:26.50fsmithredhow hard it is depends on what's installed
20:27.12fsmithreddesktop and policykit/logind stuff can be tricky in some cases
20:27.18rwpFor my friend it is an XFCE desktop and I am not sure what stuff he has installed otherwise.  Probably a lot of cruft.
