bgstack15Aw man, I bet LeePen's gone for the night already. That d1src-merge while in my suites/unstable branch somehow didn't do what I wanted it to do and I'm really mad. I'm so glad I had the foresight to make a duplicate branch with my useful changes.03:18
LeePenbgstack15: Sorry for that. What happened?04:33
LeePen04:33
bgstack15When I ran d1src-merge, it did not appear to place my one commit from my suites/unstable branch on top of [whatever happened to debian/4.10.2something]05:26
bgstack15the way I was expecting. For some reason it somehow kept a good portion of debian/ from exactly my suites/unstable from version 4.9.11 including some now-unncessary-debian-patches which were part of Timo's package (Debian) and not my commits at all and so shouldn't have still been there.05:27
rrqone "safe" way to merge could be: git merge --no-commit --no-ff -s ours master05:36
rrqthe "-s ours" stops any code to be taken from the source branch, but makes the history look like a merge when you, after some fixes, next commit05:37
rrqso, after that "pretend merge", you update your branch to how you want it,.. then add to the set of files to commit, and then commit05:38
bgstack15rrq: and this operation should be run from branch "ours", so suite/unstable ?05:39
bgstack15or is "ours" a literal05:39
rrqdoing so will be good for future updates on the master branch; i.e., nothing priori to this merge point will seep in05:39
rrqyes... (hmm I need to confirm in the manpage)05:39
rrqright; the "ours" strategy05:40
rrqit kind of "tells git" that "here my branch is synchronized wiht master"05:41
bgstack15so we basically do a rebase, without telling git that we're doing a rebase?05:42
rrqyes I guess, though without using the other branch's code05:43
rrqand with some advantage(?) of showing where your branch actually started05:47
rrq.. of also showing ..05:47
rrqI think "cherry picking" might also be useful here... to pick particular commits from that other branch. but I have never actually used it myself05:51
LeePenbgstack15: When you merge you won't end up with your commit on top, but it should still be present.08:19
LeePenI will try it with your tree later. This was freeipa?08:20
bgstack15LeePen: yes, freeipa.13:37
bgstack15And just in case you're not familiar with this, I noticed that Debian has now enabled building the server-side packages of freeipa (for the first time in my awareness which spans a few years). I have no idea if this will compile/operate correctly on Devuan so just beware.13:38
bgstack15whew, no wonder I just always rebase... Sorry mate, this merge business doesn't do what I want and required way more effort to just update the few changes I make.14:07
ManinTheSandbox1i/16:14
ManinTheSandbox1i want to start mantaining packages16:14
ManinTheSandbox1with what type of example can I start?16:14
golinuxLeePen: A conversation on the forum about non-free-firmware prompted me to poke around the Release Notes.16:29
golinuxThe only place in the document where Non-free-firmware with 2 hyphens is mentioned is in the top Index.16:31
golinuxIn the ## Non-free firmware section there is no mention that there is a NEW package for non-free-firmware. Perhaps there is some clarification needed there about it being a new package?16:33
