1165968298 M * micah h01ger: is there a fixed fai build method available somewhere? 1165968597 M * h01ger no 1165968657 M * h01ger mugwump (mugwamp?) never had time to do it and i never cared,as i just use the debootstrap method and do the simply changes myself... he relies on his branch and couldnt really explain why... 1165968662 M * h01ger & hi micah :) 1165968684 M * h01ger (i also never cared as i had enough other stuff to do..) 1165968732 M * h01ger micah, but as i read -release these days, i'd say its too late for a fix now anyway. unless you make that RC which i dont really think it is... 1165968821 M * micah h01ger: hi! :) -- yeah, without any code at all, its unlikely the release team would be willing for someone to write it 1165968826 M * Bertl hmm, isn't that already integrated somewhere 1165968830 M * micah h01ger: i know I cant write it because I do not know FAI at all 1165968869 M * Bertl yep, vserver - build --help says: 1165968870 M * micah unfortunately the final freeze happened the day after I uploaded .212, so that isn't going to make it in to etch, but the version prior to that has most of the .212 functionality 1165968870 M * Bertl fai ... -- [ -f ] [-n ] [-d ] [ -a ] 1165968886 M * micah Bertl: yeah, I think the issue is that its broken 1165968888 M * micah let me see... 1165968908 M * h01ger micah, it checks for specical branch of fai... 1165968913 M * h01ger (last time i looked) 1165968918 M * micah Bertl: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=396593 1165968945 M * micah "...vserver-build.fai included in util-vserver only works with a development branch of fai, but not with the fai from trunk or the one in debian." 1165968975 M * micah what is the difference between the 'development branch' and 'trunk'? 1165969018 M * Bertl is there something which works with 'stable' debian out of the box? 1165969026 M * micah and is this change a trivial one? it might be, but I have no knowledge of FAI 1165969043 A * micah ignores Bertl's attempts at debian-baiting ;) 1165969054 Q * comfrey Quit: Lost terminal 1165969070 M * Bertl well, I think, debian folks are used to upgrading/backporting/patching by now ... 1165969072 M * h01ger micah, that development branch is a now outdated branch from mugwump. mugwump (mugwamp?) is not very much active in fai... 1165969101 M * h01ger Bertl, that branch is really a dead end i'd say 1165969104 M * Bertl well, it seems that sam was very interested a few months ago 1165969124 M * Bertl so maybe just contact him and see _what_ he uses atm 1165969137 M * micah h01ger: is it a simple change to something to have the build method not check for a specific version? 1165969137 M * h01ger i failed to understand why he made that check that way... (he touches a file "mybranch" or something and then checks for the existence of it.) 1165969147 M * h01ger micah, maybe 1165969160 M * h01ger i asked him, but he couldnt explain either 1165969178 M * h01ger and then i said, ok, i have my little script anyway, i dont need it... 1165969195 M * h01ger but contacting him is the way to go 1165969236 M * h01ger i think thomas lange (fai author and maintainer) has contacted him today, after i failed this bug. and he should be on the fai devel list, where i cc:ed it too. but mail him as well :) 1165969259 M * h01ger etch wont be released maƱana :) 1165969316 A * h01ger sighs at downloads the latest util-vserver to take a look :) i was about to sleep... ;) 1165969322 M * h01ger s/at/and/ 1165969350 M * daniel_hozac micah: actually, 0.30.211-6 will be really weird on 2.6.19. 1165969367 M * micah daniel_hozac: thats ok, 2.6.19 is not in etch 1165969380 M * daniel_hozac right, i'm just saying. 1165969381 M * micah unless that has changed 1165969403 M * h01ger micah, but there is a kernel update planned (as in 2.6.23 or something) for the medium lifetime of etch... 1165969405 M * micah daniel_hozac: but 0.30.212 wouldn't have that weirdness? 1165969417 M * micah h01ger: yeah etch+1 right? 1165969423 M * h01ger micah, no. etch+0.5 1165969430 M * micah h01ger: oh right 1165969434 M * daniel_hozac micah: no, with 0.30.212, there shouldn't be any quirks with 2.6.19 . 1165969436 M * h01ger :) 1165969451 M * micah h01ger: well, I need a good excuse to ask aba to let in .212 -- which he might becaues he uses vservers 1165969451 M * h01ger so _that_ would be a reason to go to 0.30.212 :) 1165969457 M * h01ger hehe 1165969460 M * h01ger yes 1165969468 M * micah well they might not let it until +.05 1165969545 M * micah daniel_hozac: the changes between 0.30.211-6 and 0.30.212-1 are pretty small actually 1165969556 M * daniel_hozac but oh so important. 1165969580 Q * lomonaco Quit: If you can't laugh at yourself, make fun of other people. 1165969598 M * micah yeah, but that fact is a useful one for making the case for allowing it in 1165969629 A * h01ger looked at vserver-build.fai and dislikes it: it needs the fai-nfsroot to be build. i dont use that anymore, i (almost) only use fai softupdates,which dont need nfsroots. so i would not use this anyway... and it greps for "VIRTUAL" in /usr/sbin/fai which only succeeds in that branch... (and as said, i didnt get why,looking at the branch now...) 1165969636 M * hardwire oooh creepy 1165969637 M * hardwire vwait 1165969644 M * hardwire I don't like that.. --timeout 30 1165969645 M * hardwire hehe 1165969656 M * hardwire zope isn't a timeout 30 kinda daemon 1165969659 M * hardwire squid isn't either ;) 1165969679 M * daniel_hozac h01ger: he had quite a few changes 1165969697 M * daniel_hozac removing things that just won't work inside a guest. 1165969706 M * daniel_hozac hardwire: that's why it's configurable. 1165969798 M * hardwire I just never knew about it 1165969841 M * h01ger daniel_hozac, yes (but thats rather cosmetical). but he also updated his branch the last time almost two month ago and *a lot* has happened since them in fai. micah, so i'd say, drop it. 1165969875 M * daniel_hozac h01ger: IIRC there were quite a few things that would make it fail. 1165969893 M * h01ger actually, mugwump has three development branches. and the string VIRTUAL (the one he greps for) is only in the one last updated 7th of july (!!) 1165969921 M * h01ger daniel_hozac, no. my setup-script doesnt do any such modifications and my vservers run fine 1165969934 M * daniel_hozac h01ger: because you run it on the host, i presume. 1165970000 M * h01ger yes. but i think he does the same, dunno. 1165970012 M * daniel_hozac no, it runs mostly within a guest. 1165970026 M * h01ger [ -d /proc/self -a ! -e /proc/cmdline ] && export VIRTUAL=1 is what sets VIRTUAL in his /usr/sbin/fai 1165970117 M * h01ger daniel_hozac, actually no. i only run vserver-build on the host, then i prepare a script and execute it in the newly created guest 1165970211 M * daniel_hozac mugwump: ping? 1165970213 M * hardwire daniel_hozac: wild.. guess how long it took me to find out how vwait works.. 1165970216 M * hardwire still.. looking.. 1165970240 M * daniel_hozac the name is rather descript, IMHO. 1165970241 M * hardwire I suppose its sync-timeout for vshelper 1165970260 M * hardwire daniel_hozac: like what calls it.. etc.. 1165970271 M * daniel_hozac the scripts, as with all the other utils. 1165970300 M * hardwire daniel_hozac: not trying to make anybody defensive.. but its just not intuitive if you aren't developing it. 1165970329 M * hardwire I still don't know what vwait actually does 1165970334 M * daniel_hozac so you know what wait does? 1165970345 M * hardwire ah. 1165970354 M * daniel_hozac vwait does the same, but for an entire context. 1165970357 M * hardwire I didn't make that connection by just adding a v to it. 1165970376 M * hardwire either way.. should I be editing /etc/vservers/vserver-name/apps/vshelper and changing sync-timeout? 1165970384 M * daniel_hozac yes. 1165970390 M * h01ger micah, mugwumps code is based on fai 2.10.1, we have fai 3.1.2 now. there where quite some changes since same (for example also a new fai install method, dirinstall, which would be useful for vservers as well). so whoever wants to use that vserver-build method whould need to downgrade&patch fai... so i would rather prefer/propose, mugwump (or we) fix vserver-build.fai and then those people need to upgrade util-vserver :) 1165970411 M * hardwire daniel_hozac: did your documentation guru get hit by a bus? 1165970442 M * daniel_hozac feel free to take his place. 1165970461 M * hardwire I am not prepared to document something I am not currently developing 1165970469 M * hardwire but did somebody just dissapear? 1165970473 M * daniel_hozac no. 1165970482 M * daniel_hozac there has never been anyone doing documentation, AFAIK. 1165970496 M * Bertl nobody likes to write documentation here :) 1165970499 M * daniel_hozac a lot of people have been pitching in here and there, some more than others. 1165970510 M * daniel_hozac indeed. 1165970522 M * daniel_hozac personally i don't mind keeping it up to date, once it exists. 1165970522 M * Bertl some of them have complained, but didn't improve anything ... 1165970526 M * daniel_hozac (like the flower page) 1165970550 M * daniel_hozac but i'm too deep in the code to make sense to any outsider, i think. 1165970594 M * Bertl and I did my best with the original Paper :) 1165970621 M * h01ger .oO( add a fancy "job offer" on the homepage ?! :) 1165970628 M * daniel_hozac hehe. 1165970642 M * hardwire daniel_hozac: I suffer personally with an issue to never document anything until I feel it is complete 1165970648 M * h01ger i didnt really know that was the case, though *now* it's obvious to me... 1165970654 M * hardwire that doesn't work in the open source world 1165970739 M * daniel_hozac i wonder if anyone has used util-vserver 0.30.212 yet... i figured people would be screaming at the top of their lungs when i broke their schedule files. 1165970827 M * Bertl works here for my tests ... but I haven't tested it much yet 1165970862 M * daniel_hozac yeah, should work for everyone but those who have dummy as their 6th line in schedule :) 1165970885 M * Bertl never added that, as it just looked stupid to me :) 1165970913 M * daniel_hozac it is. it's passed as the priority bias. 1165970934 M * daniel_hozac and since vsched used to just do x = atoi(optarg), that worked fine. 1165971042 M * h01ger g'night 1165971142 M * Bertl good night! 1165971324 M * kugg daniel_hozac: yepp it worked out fine and i learned a lot. :) Thanks for asking. Unfortunatly nobody finished the entire game, maybee its the wrong audince to little time and to hard levels. :/ 1165971397 M * daniel_hozac hehe, that's too bad. 1165971423 M * kugg yepp, well i guess 10 levels could be to much too. 1165971460 M * kugg I would hoverver like to trash the idea of level based wargame and make it more of a get root challenge 1165971472 M * kugg like king of the hill 1165971678 M * daniel_hozac hehe. 1165971695 M * daniel_hozac "whoever has root by
