gnu_srs1LeePen: Hi again. Can you create a branch I can populate, e.g. Hurd has: deb http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports unreleased main09:42
gnu_srs1And a clarification about hard-coded paths: You can use which/command -v (no aliases) in addition to PATH!09:44
LeePengnu_srs1: I am well aware of that, but I don't maintain all the Debian packages that don't use that!09:53
LeePenBranch? Do you mean full repository below deb.devuan.org?09:54
LeePenOr branch on git.devuan.org?09:54
gnu_srs1I'm not sure. Probably a full repo below deb.devuan.org and only unstable as target.10:21
gnu_srs1As you might know I did support Devuan with a buildd:build005 until you lost interest in it.10:21
gnu_srs1I can revive that buildd or something similar again to build packages for Devuan and/or unreleased.10:21
LeePenI am afraid we don't have a mechanism to add that below deb.devuan.org.10:29
LeePenI think you would be better running your own repo, and then you have control and can publish what you have worked on.10:30
gnu_srs1I don't really understand. I want to have access to deb{,-src} http://deb.devuan.org/merged ceres main contrib non-free non-free-firmware and10:38
gnu_srs1deb{,-src} http.//deb.devuan.org/merged (whatever) unreleased main.10:38
fsmithredAre there any known cases of someone installing usrmerge in excalibur/ceres and not breakiing their system in the process? I think the usrmerge package itself may be broken, but I haven't looked into it. I just had a couple of catastrophic failures.11:40
fsmithredBut when I installed it in daedalus and upgraded to ceres, it worked fine.11:40
LeePenfsmithred: failure how?11:41
fsmithredxserver wouldn't start11:42
fsmithredat the moment I can't remember what else11:42
fsmithredthat was two or three weeks ago11:42
fsmithredand I'm not at home now so I can't fire up those systems to check.11:42
fsmithredwhen you install usrmerge in ceres, it spits out a bunch of errors or warnings about 'cp -n'11:43
fsmithredoh yeah, some files got lost, too.11:43
fsmithredI'll search some logs to see if I can find where I talked about it11:44
LeePenThanks.11:45
fsmithredHere's some:12:00
fsmithredJan 02 21:19:59 <fsmithred>     udev rules file for gphoto exists in two places and installing usrmerge fails12:00
fsmithredJan 02 21:21:35 <fsmithred>     it says I can run /usr/lib/usrmerge/convert-usrmerge until it completes without error.12:00
fsmithredJan 02 21:23:30 <fsmithred>     ...after fixing the problem12:00
fsmithredJan 02 21:23:40 <fsmithred>     and then it complains the same about libsane12:00
fsmithredJan 02 21:24:03 <fsmithred>     so I probably need to move /lib/udev/rules.d into oblivion.12:00
fsmithredJan 02 21:24:58 *       TheBlueWizard (~TheBlueWi@pool-173-66-223-114.washdc.fios.verizon.net) has joined12:00
fsmithredJan 02 21:27:09 <fsmithred>     ok, I had to move all of /lib/udev and run /usr/lib/usrmerge/convert-usermerge again and that fixed it.12:00
fsmithredJan 02 21:27:32 <fsmithred>     The big autoremove list was misleading. Same packages were also being installed.12:00
fsmithred#devuan.log:Jan 08 05:59:30 <fsmithred>I ran into this a couple days ago. I upgraded and got 6.6.9 kernel and also added usrmerge. Files were missing and I had to reinstall lvm2 and dmsetup. That got rid of two errors. Also reinstalled xorg xinit xauth and every xserver-xorg-* that was installed. Then reinstalled elogind libpam-elogind and policykit-1-gnome. I can now boot the 6.6.9 kernel and use startx, but lightdm is caught in an12:12
fsmithredendless login loop.12:12
fsmithredSome udev rules got lost in the usrmerge, but I'm not finding the file names now.12:16
fsmithredJan 06 19:34:47 <fsmithred>     reinstall gave me 69-lvm.rules   (reinstalled lvm2)12:22
fsmithredInstalling usrmerge in ceres spits out a bunch of lines that say, "Warning: behavior of cp -n is non portable"12:25
LeePenfsmithred: I can't reproduce this. libgphoto2-6 apparently has the 'correct' mitigation.12:55
LeePenIf you nuked /lib/udev, I am not surprised you lost files.12:55
LeePenI have just tried in a VM with libgphoto2-6 installed: http://dpaste.com/2UXFHVV2A13:11
fsmithredLeePen, I'm not the one who lost the two udev rules files that I knew were missing at the time. I think the other one was a dmsetup rule.13:43
fsmithredI'd like to do two ceres installs in chroot, install usrmerge in one and then compare with meld to see what files are missing.13:44
fsmithredUh, encrypting these systems is a challenge. Do I have to put them into a loop file, or is there another way?13:47
LeePenSorry, misunderstood your log paste.13:58
fsmithredHere's a report of successful addition of usrmerge after upgrade broke stuff: https://dev1galaxy.org/profile.php?id=691414:01
fsmithredThis one had breakage after upgrade without usrmerge and then more breakage after adding usrmerge: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=46656#p4665614:17
fsmithredbut no details about what usrmerge did.14:17
fsmithredOh, there is more on that last one: "Well it wasn't too bad. I had to apt-get install --reinstall initramfs-tools, lvm, and dmsetup."14:19
LeePenYes, but there is not even an indication of where the poster was on ceres, excalibur or daedalus.14:24
fsmithredsame packages I had trouble with, and he mentions testing in the first post on that thread.15:28
fsmithredI gotta go.15:28
