| plasma41 | LeePen: aptitude on my system is reporting that the signature on the InRelease files for the beowulf and chimaera releases expired around an hour and twenty minutes ago. | 02:39 |
|---|---|---|
| plasma41 | Hmm, LeePen's likely asleep at this hour. rrq, can you look into this? | 02:43 |
| onefang | My sledjhamr.org mirror has the same problem. | 02:45 |
| Xenguy | Yeah, ditto, for Beowulf: https://paste.debian.net/hidden/443266a7/ | 03:50 |
| brocashelm | good thing i updated my beowulf the other day | 03:54 |
| rrq | with mailutils.mail, how do I jump forward to the next mail with a given subject? | 05:40 |
| rwp | rrq, I am curious what your reason is to be reading email with the GNU Mailutils mail command? | 07:12 |
| rrq | mm that was tha "mail | 07:12 |
| rrq | " program installed on that host' | 07:12 |
| rwp | rrq, It's been some time since I used BSD mailx but as I recall you can "h /foo" and show a list of messages with that search pattern, truncated to some page limit. | 07:12 |
| rwp | And can h /Subject:foo to limit it to a specific header. Or some similar syntax. | 07:13 |
| rrq | thanks! seems to work :) | 07:13 |
| rwp | And then among that list one usually selects a message, say "p 8" to print the message, through the pager, to the terminal. | 07:13 |
| rwp | And then one usually does things like dp to delete the current message and print the next message. | 07:14 |
| rwp | Messages are only marked for deletion. The delete happens upon q quit. If you decide not to delete then x exit without deleting. | 07:14 |
| rwp | And one can keep messages and just use 'n' to move to the next new message. | 07:15 |
| rwp | The old mail command was designed for paper printing terminals and so nothing requires line editing or screen cursor addressing and everything is a continuous printing for use on a paper terminal. | 07:16 |
| rwp | I recommend mutt! It's a lot more powerful and I find it easier to use. | 07:16 |
| Xenguy | Love the mutt | 07:23 |
| rwp | I stopped using mailx when Dave Taylor released his Elm mailer. Elm was quite a bit nicer than mailx. Since Dave was working at HP at the time and so was I it was only natural that his program would find me and I would use it. | 07:29 |
| rwp | And then of course mutt was inspired by elm and the rest as we say is history. | 07:30 |
| rwp | The only other text console mailer other than mutt that I would recommend is nmh (aka mh) which really embodies the Unix Philosophy applied to mail handling. | 07:31 |
| cousin_luigi | Greetings. | 11:53 |
| cousin_luigi | Currently adapting an ancient custom debian package to devuan: how does one get rid of this warning: missing-systemd-service-for-init.d-script ? | 11:54 |
| rrq | does that happen with the devuan profile ? .. I suppose lintian coplaints can be silenced with a "debian/lintian-overrides" file | 12:00 |
| cousin_luigi | rrq: I'm not sure what the devuan profile is. I just installed devuan in a VM. | 12:02 |
| cousin_luigi | I usually work with rpm, so I'm somewhat out of my element here, sorry. | 12:02 |
| rrq | and that VM gives that warning? in dmesg or kern.log ? | 12:03 |
| rrq | (it looked like a lintian complaint to me so I thought you got it while building a package) | 12:04 |
| cousin_luigi | Yes, it's one of the complaints I'm trying to address whilst building that package. Does debuild have a profile for devuan? Is that what you meant? | 12:06 |
| rrq | package devuan-lintian-profile | 12:07 |
| cousin_luigi | rrq: Oh thanks, installing that package silenced that particular warning. | 12:08 |
| cousin_luigi | devuan-lintian-profile caused more warnings to appear, though: "invalid-field-for-derivative origin: - (must be attributed to Devuan)" and another two related to vcs-browser and vcs-git: what if one wanted to build a custom package for devuan to sit in an external repository for the time being? | 13:35 |
| bgstack15 | Then ignore those errors, cousin_luigi. | 17:10 |
