| tempforever | is there a guide/instructions to set up a devuan mirror? | 02:48 |
|---|---|---|
| onefang | https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/devuan_mirror_walkthrough.txt is for package mirrors. | 02:49 |
| tempforever | ty | 02:50 |
| tempforever | that's what I was looking for | 02:52 |
| onefang | tempforever: I'm guessing this email I just got from a new package mirror is you? | 04:39 |
| tempforever | yep | 04:39 |
| Xenguy | tempforever, ISO mirror too, or just package mirror? | 04:40 |
| tempforever | just package | 04:41 |
| tempforever | for now, at least | 04:41 |
| Xenguy | np, thanks | 04:41 |
| onefang | Xenguy is theperson to talk with for setting up an ISO mirror, I'm the package mirror person. | 04:42 |
| tempforever | I see :) | 04:42 |
| onefang | You repeated the CC DNS question, but didn't answer it. I'm guessing no. | 04:48 |
| tempforever | whatever the default answer is lol. does it make much difference? | 04:49 |
| onefang | You would have to setup to support US.deb.devuan.org, or any other country codes you want to support. | 04:50 |
| tempforever | that's just an additional serveralias in apache? shouldn't be a big deal to set up | 04:51 |
| onefang | Think that's covered in the walkthrough. | 04:52 |
| tempforever | err, since it doesnt use https for roundrobin I dont think there's anything additional ? | 04:52 |
| tempforever | ok I found that section | 04:54 |
| tempforever | sure, you can add US | 04:55 |
| onefang | You should be able to rsync now over ssh. apt-panopticon should notice you within the hour, and once you have been stable for a week you'll become official. | 04:57 |
| onefang | Thanks. | 04:57 |
| * onefang goes back to weekend mode. | 05:01 | |
| tempforever | well, off to bed ... rsync is going to be a while | 06:05 |
| fsmithred | I'm having trouble understanding a shell script that I need to edit. What is the case/esac stanza doing here? There's no action for install|upgrade. I need to add something that happens with install|upgrade and I don't know where to put it. https://git.devuan.org/devuan/desktop-base/src/branch/master/debian/preinst | 14:45 |
| rrq | dont you use the suites/unstable branch? (might not be the answer:) | 15:14 |
| rrq | after ")" and before ";;" would be where the case actions are | 15:18 |
| fsmithred | ignore the branch | 15:18 |
| fsmithred | that's where I would expect stuff to happen. I need to add a dpkg-divert somewhere | 15:19 |
| fsmithred | yes, I will do it in suites/unstable. I just needed to look at that before I open a text editor. | 15:19 |
| fsmithred | is the case really necessary in a preinst script? Won't it only run on install (including upgrades) | 15:20 |
| rrq | that case clause does nothing and should probably be cleaned out given that there's already an "if" conditional above | 15:20 |
| fsmithred | I thought the pre and post scripts only ran at the appropriate times, so even the conditional statement might be redundant. | 15:22 |
| fsmithred | not that I want to mess with it. | 15:22 |
| rrq | well, insert an "elif [ "$1" = "install" ]" just before the fi, or make a separate "if" after | 15:23 |
| rrq | or before | 15:23 |
| fsmithred | yeah, that sounds good | 15:23 |
| fsmithred | looking at it now - I think I'll put it inside the "tidy up" conditional since it's part of tidying up. | 15:26 |
| rrq | that only happens on $1=upgrade | 15:27 |
| rrq | probably makes some sense | 15:28 |
| fsmithred | oh, good call | 15:29 |
| rrq | does your divert compete with the cleanup? | 15:29 |
| fsmithred | no | 15:29 |
| rrq | doing divert seems to compete with the cleanup idea though(?) | 15:29 |
| fsmithred | desktop-background is getting clobbered by xfce, so I'm going to divert the default xfce image | 15:29 |
| fsmithred | and remove the .xml file that sets the background | 15:30 |
| fsmithred | so the alternatives link will still exist for the bg image but there won't be an xfce config file to set the bg image | 15:31 |
| fsmithred | and I expect the bg image will still work in the other desktops where it currently works | 15:31 |
| fsmithred | mate and the soon to be dead lxde | 15:31 |
| rrq | hmm that cleanup messes with "alternatives" rather than dpkg-divert | 15:32 |
| fsmithred | yeah | 15:32 |
| fsmithred | I'm stepping around the alternatives | 15:32 |
| rrq | fair enough.. though sounds like a recepie for confusion :) | 15:32 |
| fsmithred | desktop-base is already a mess of confusion | 15:32 |
| fsmithred | I would prefer to never touch it again. I have hated it and banned it ever since the spacefun theme. | 15:33 |
| fsmithred | it's not a coincidence that Refracta has a starry sky bg image. | 15:34 |
| fsmithred | I could put it inside that case, since those are the right conditions, right? | 15:39 |
| rrq | the project README.md cold do with a touch-up as well... not touched snce 2019 | 15:39 |
| fsmithred | that would require someone who can explain what's going on | 15:40 |
| rrq | yes, if you want the divert to happen for bot install and upgrade | 15:40 |
| rrq | both | 15:40 |
| fsmithred | I think maybe it needs to be re-forked from debian, but I have no specifics to support that idea | 15:40 |
| fsmithred | yeah, I do. I don't know what the next version of desktop-base will want to do, but it makes sense to set xfce back to its original state. | 15:41 |
| fsmithred | yeah, that applies to the prerm | 15:42 |
| fsmithred | ok, gonna go do this before I forget | 15:42 |
| fsmithred | one more question - I'm about to rename the image from *.svg to *.svg.distrib. Can I rename it to *.distrib.svg so it's still available to select as a bg image? | 15:49 |
| rrq | yes | 15:53 |
| rrq | debians desktop-base was last updated 2024-09-something; a fari few new/changed images | 15:55 |
| rrq | fair | 15:55 |
| rrq | hmm or maybe less images(?) I might read the diff wrong | 15:57 |
| fsmithred | next dilemma - I have to choose an svg file to replace the one I'm diverting. There's wide, narrow and 1080p. | 16:06 |
| fsmithred | which means I'm bypassing the part that chooses the desktop-background based on the actual screen size | 16:07 |
| fsmithred | I'm starting to like that xfce bg image more. | 16:07 |
| rrq | :) | 16:07 |
| rrq | so no svg to replace with? | 16:08 |
| fsmithred | three choices | 16:08 |
| fsmithred | wide, narrow 1080p | 16:08 |
| fsmithred | flip a three-sided coin? | 16:09 |
| rrq | hmm and the one swapped out doesn;t say which it is? | 16:09 |
| rrq | hmm I picked a random svg, backgrounds/your-way_purpy-wide-large.svg, and it turns out to be an html file | 16:15 |
| rrq | a "bad" html file | 16:15 |
| rrq | but actually just that one and backgrounds/your-way_purpy-narrow-large.svg :) I was lucky! | 16:18 |
| fsmithred | png also | 16:25 |
| fsmithred | looks like all the purpy images are html. WTF? | 16:26 |
| rrq | seems it happened 2019 ? | 16:38 |
| rrq | commit cbb2a62 | 16:38 |
| rrq | "1e5c845 [user/2017-12-11] changes for ascii" was first checkin of those | 16:40 |
| rrq | the "good" ones | 16:40 |
| rrq | then lost at "cbb2a62 [fsmithred/2019-06-10] Changes for cinnabar in beowulf." | 16:42 |
| rrq | should I grab the old purpy and check in? | 16:43 |
| rrq | hmm story is different: they were lost at 1e5c845, then the html versions were added at cbb2a62 | 16:51 |
| rrq | initial versions at 23f4896 | 16:52 |
| rrq | I've captured those; check in at master ? | 16:54 |
| rrq | I push as branch "resurrected-purpy" (based on current master) | 16:58 |
| * rrq bedtime | 17:00 | |
