"Please hold... your call is important to us" ...."Which is why we put you on perpetual hold" "because the telco is paying us by the minute" interesting pppd died - The remote system is required to authenticate itself ... As far as I can tell there are two causes for this problem: * /etc/ppp/options contains the auth option. Simply put a # comment character in front and try again. * Your system already has a default route. Have you set up a local network ? In thise case recent versions of pppd will behave as if the auth had been specified. To override this you may add noauth to the pppd arguments in kppp' setup dialog. Alternatively you could take down the local network prior to dialing in. I'd be thankful if someone could provide instructions on how to peacefully combine the two network connections. in the options file its says DO NOT comment out auth :) hmmm who is right :) work states they have seen no login attempts try without auth (it'll break pon/poff, but that's ok if you'll be using kppp afaik) so its connecting but dying before it ever attempts to login there anyone use anything else? if so help is appreciated i.e. i ran pppconfig so what is the debian way to login? what are you doing? derek: to make sure you _could_ connect, install minicom, and do it 'by hand' jcater: trying to use pppd on your firewall? neilt (~neilt@66.95.5.110) joined #gnuenterprise. #gnuenterprise: mode change '+o neilt' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services. trying with auth disabled then will try without network up this is a new ppp or kernel issue blue magenta nickr: yeah orangutan silverback um i dont get this latitude:/etc/ppp# /etc/init.d/networking stop Deconfiguring network interfaces... done. latitude:/etc/ppp# ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:A4:D1:6F:C6 inet addr:192.168.0.103 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:4721 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:3912 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:4312329 (4.1 MiB) TX bytes:334362 (326.5 KiB) Interrupt:11 Base address:0x4000 latitude:/etc/ppp# how can you stop networkign yet still have open interfaces? grrr interfaces are loaded by the kernel iirc i might have to install windows :( doesn't mean they have to be bound as not being able to connect to work is keeping me from workign at home is this your firewall? no im just trying to dial out pppd to work does it dial up? sure it dials out it just fails to login what does it say exactly? hold on getting you message hmmmm grib (~grib@grib.customer.jump.net) left irc: Remote closed the connection i noticed this Opener: received OpenDevice grib (~grib@grib.customer.jump.net) joined #gnuenterprise.

It will probably be based on it heavily - but I don't like packaging being in the tree. HAving it in packaging makes it that much harder. phone lurk. I don't want a debian/ structure in cvs as then we have redhat/ freebsd/ windows/ that's why we have packaging, just fyi mmmm lunch I understand that. abisource does the same thing, and it has the sideeffect that no DD understands it when they look at it. Action: Chipaca just wanted to know the name of the current widget The way I do the packaging is that the upstream source is just a tarball sitting in the deb. That way upgrades are mostly just replacing the tarball. I will cheerfully keep that in cvs if you'd like - that would be easy enough - but I'd make a new toplevel "packaging/debian/PACKAGENAME/" probably... Is that an okay compromise?

I dunno what GTest.py is jbailey: i think next to nothing should be +x (and in fact, that's why lintian is showing up with it) but it shoudln't be in common/src I do know that most the scripts that are +x are created on install yeah really the utils/ stuff is +x but those won't be installed anyway those are developer's lazy hacks and the setup.py but jamest is right I'm going out on a limb to say it should either be +x or the top line should be removed. =) GTest.py looks to be an RPC tester sigh that should not be in common/src with jan's name on it get a rope #!/usr/bin/env python # GNU Enterprise Common Testing client can someone move that to utils/ Adn you folks wonder why I had trouble creating the packaging from scratch... =) Action: drochaid is away: dying elsewhere neilt (~neilt@66.95.5.110) left irc: "later all" jcater: How do you like it moved? mv it's meaningless to our installs so personally I don't care about it's location in cvs history I didn't have this problem I guess because I used the packaged tarballs jbailey: we value change history in cvs more than file location so we're not above moving a file you can move the file on the server ya all of you can :) GTest.py shouldn't be executable, as GFClient.py shouln't be executable hey jan did you see the talk about 0.5.0 this morning? hi jamest no I had no time to look. a possible feature freeze on forms/reports/common between the 0.4.x and 0.5.0 releases so that 0.5.0 is no new features only bug fixes, code cleanup, documentation if that'll work for the appserver people Remosi (dahoose@port-219-88-246-65.jet.net.nz) joined #gnuenterprise. and reinhard mentioned you'd be one to talk to to find out if common needed something before the freeze ajmitch: I don't know if they all have shell accounts. no ajmitch: I was a real asshole when I was the subversions admin and refused to give them out. jbailey: jcater just got one only I did ajmitch: The current folks have continued my fine tradition. jbailey: i could believe that :) jamest: jcater got an account last week, poor chap yeah, i know, he'll learn hey I didn't ask for it You want it in utils? works for me we can then adjust setup-cvs.py if need be siesel_ (jan@dial-213-168-72-99.netcologne.de) joined #gnuenterprise.

But at least I know that it shouldn't be very hard. k the fun bits will be libgc & threads ;) libgc already builds. =) I'm sure gcj will exercise the pthreads code, though. oh it builds fine but if you look at the code, it has black magic *all* garbage collectors are black magic. hehe it has linux-specific thread code, and other specifics also has some mach voodoo :) jcater: Why did you call the package gnue-forms-wxgtk instead of just gnue-forms? because there's a phpforms? :) and a gtk2 driver for that client that package contains the wxwindows gtk client because there's also a gnue-forms-curses and a gnue-forms-gtk err we support cur gnue-forms-gtk2 nevermind Ah, I see. was that not the right thing to do? is there a better way? Will those all come from different sources, then? as we have UI plugins actually all in gnue/src/uidrivers there probably should be a gnue-forms-base or such jcater: It's probably the right thing to do - I'm still learning about gnue. as a good chunk of the code is the same then driver .debs none of them are so huge they could go in base but the dependencies change based upon what you need cool, so we'll end up with 10 forms packages ;) and soon enought gnue-forms-qt :) or knue-forms gnue-forms-base depends on gnue-forms-wxgtk | gnue-forms-wxgtk yeah oops as the case may be :) eeeevil do NOT name it knue-forms please Okay, cool.

Hmm. Looks like it's in usr/lib/gnue/lib/python/gnue/forms/GFClient.py Which is certainly far away from the python search path. Any suggestions as to where it ought to be? did you start from scratch w/the rules file? jcater: No. hmm it seds the the gnue-forms shell script with that location jcater: I took yours and wedged it into a dbs build. hmm Lemme make sure that the sedding is still called. It may have gotten pruned at one point - I was noting the differences between common and forms, and was mostly using the stuff in common. mine is in /usr/local/gnue/lib/python/gnue/forms/GFClient.py is it supposed to be in /usr/local/ or /usr/lib/ ? derek: Packages never install anythying in /usr/local ToyMan (~stuq@glvv-dsl1-116.citlink.net) joined #gnuenterprise. jcater: I see where it chews 'python' to being a specific version. jbailey: for clarification there is a difference between packages NEVER install and packages SHOULD NEVER install :) as what i pasted was installed by packaging of one form or another :) jbailey: ? anyone know the keyboard shortcut for moving python comment blocks in emacs? jamest: ^Zvi filename :) bigot ajmitch: I thought all codes in emacs were prefixed w/ c- or m-? you mean indents? wouldn't it be C-biggot? comments ctrl-c + # will take marked text and add ## to the front of each line ctrl-something ctrl-c # will remove it ah you here? you can do no yes ctrl-spacebar to set region highlight what you want then do C-x TAB some day I'll have to learn emacs but I haven't found a good tutorial yet jcater: Can you tell me where the sed is supposed to be? I don't see anything in your rules file that would cover that. whoop : # Replace all '#!' calls to python with $(python) : # and make them executable cd debian && \ for i in `find tmp/$(GNUEBINDIR) -type f`; do \ sed '1s,#!.*python[^ ]*\(.*\),#! /usr/bin/$(python)\1,' \ $$i > $$i.temp; \ Action: derek is amazed jamest is using emacs if cmp --quiet $$i $$i.temp; then \ rm -f $$i.temp; \ ctrl-u ctlr-c # else \ cat $$i.temp |sed "s,'stage,'/usr/lib/gnue,"|sed "s,'/usr/lib/gnue/etc/connections.conf','/etc/gnue/connections.conf'," > $$i; \ rm -f $$i.temp; \ chmod 755 $$i; \ echo "fixed interpreter: $$i"; \ fi; \ done it's the only editor in the world capable of getting me ready for gnue datasource code Oh, I see aprt of the problem.

Cool. jamest: not true jamest: a hex editor would be just as well And the comment doesn't describe that at all. jbailey: sorry that was my first rules file ever it was a bit, um, overbearing on me and I forgot to comment in some places :( jcater: That's fine. =) jcater: This is my first gnue install. jbailey: it was basically: Holy shit! it worked! Every other attempt has met in massive failure, so... 2 hrs later... I awaken lol nakid and without a donut exactly so how could I possibly remember to go back and comment jbailey: just ask jamest be glad I didn't do self-modifying sed he was damn near histerical on the phone hehe *lol* Action: ajmitch only has simple packages :) what bothered me was it wasn't for 15 minutes until he noticed his clothes missing jamest: I'm sure it was a warm day. Ah! Much better error. jamest: this was just on the phone, right? GNUe Common Version 0.4.1a Error: No Forms Definition File Specified. oh yeah Is there a sample forms definition and mysql unload file on the website somewhere so I can try this out quickly? try the intro.gfd sample a database isn't required does anyone use the forms option sloppyQuery not I lick my sack beotches hey chilly's back wb chillywilly why you gonna talk smack when a body is not present? Frighting. It appears to be running. why should we treat you any different than say derek? thanks...I guess chillywilly: must you detail such disturbing activity? fear piglatin. woo how am I like derek? I don't file unnecessary bug^H^H^Hfeatre requests thanks jc I just have to figure out how to make the bloody man page and I'll upload to sid. ajmitch: get in line punk Action: chillywilly needs to vote for governor tonight Action: chillywilly is going to vote libertarian that's nice woot jbailey: had you done a ./setup-cvs.py it's better than voting republocrat as I forgot even setup.py sdist requires that to create the man page jcater: No, I'm doing GNUE_VERSION_SUFFIX=-`date +"%Y%m%d"` ./setup.py sdist and working from that. jcater: It appears that I can generate one from ``gnue-forms --generate-man-page'' When an odd feature. jbailey: yeah, that's what I was about to say our code auto-documents itself my car needs a new muffler jcater: how can I quit the curses client? my old beater siesel_: ctrl+\ ? jbailey: we're pushing as much of that in as possible siesel_: reset button? :) hi jan Is there any way to make sdist to this for me? ajmitch: shut it ;) hi Daniel i would think we could modify setup.py to do it but I'm not sure those pages are 100% complete jamest: ?? jamest: Even if they're partially complete that's fine. The GNU project doesn't support man pages, right? =) jcater: ??? So having a partial one, and a note to look at the texinfo documentation is usually fine. i'm not sure what you're questioning? as soon as I learn texinfo we'll hve a --generate-texinfo-page :) jamest: um I'm not sure what you mean by partially complete wrt? i didn't think they generated the description, files, known bugs sections Known bugs is hardcoded to "Are you kidding?" maybe you're right... it may not do files yet that was part of the 0.5.0 release, um, roadmap argh! spit! are you turning on me too? Action: jamest grabs the trashcan lid and prepares to be assulted Action: jcater hides in his corner, crying see, my problem with roadmaps is it doesn't define where we're going they are not need based it defines what others expect me to do :) of course, now that you're back mwahahaha jcater: there are others who can help! "can" and "will" are two different things but I digress :) nah, no one is worthy of hacking jcater's code ;) I welcome help and I'd like to take this opportunity to thank those who have started coding more and more btami ajmitch jan papo jcater: ok, i promise that i will hack the gtk2 forms driver this weekend & next week :) ariel et al since i've already started I *know* I missed someone... so don't take it personally man chillywilly? oh, and of course jbailey for packaging this up :) know we know how he feels about my code Action: jcater looks thru the forms changelog thats ok though, i agress agree jamest: you haven't started coding more and more jamest: So, could I ask you to hack sdist to generate the man page sometime soon? =) you've always coded except for that brief 18 month leave of absense ;) well yeah, i had to get over the crack addiction that gnue drove me too ajmitch: I don't need any recognition form donut boy ;) from as if you're not on crack the code doesn't make sense /msg jamest well, I swear I didn't tell anyone it was because of the abuse clinic you were staying at jbailey: I can try chillywilly: perhaps if you showed some more respect ? :) is that the secret? right now I'm up to my knees in datasources jamest: Thanks. I'm certain to get a bug pretty quickly filed for not having a man page. ajmitch: yea like he shows me respect, right? ;) and it's kinda icky jamest: As long as I know it's on a todo list. =) he might if you showed some so datasources, shower, man page thing jbailey: were you not going to do gnue-forms --generate-man-page temporarily? I do respect him jcater: Hmmm.. I could, but I'm worried that I would forget about it. of course jcater will have it commited before i finish this sentence giving ppl shit is the highest form of respect ;) chillywilly: yeah, like my mother-in-law does jcater: The problem is that gnue-forms isn't runnable from it's temp location, is it? Or hey - I guess it is runnable from it's place in staging. jcater: whatever Nope, it's not. jeffb@desert:~/debian/gnue-forms-0.41a-20021105$ build-tree/GNUe-Forms-0.4.1a-20021105/stage/bin/gnue-forms --help Traceback (most recent call last): File "build-tree/GNUe-Forms-0.4.1a-20021105/stage/bin/gnue-forms", line 41, in ? from gnue.forms.GFClient import * ImportError: No module named gnue.forms.GFClient So I've got no way of generting it live. hmmm I wonder..... what do you wonder? can you require that gnue-common is installed before you can build gnue-forms? jcater: Yes. jcater: Is that desirable? Action: jcater is thinking don't do it yet jbailey: lazycode spammed #gnu & #fsf with same question :) jbailey: what does your "staging" area look like? Action: ajmitch just had nil incentive to think about an answer Define staging? or build, or whatever Or hey - I guess it is runnable from it's place in staging. The tarball is unpacked into build-tree the sdist tarball ? So the python build puts everything in build-tree/tarball/stage Yes. ok It occured to me that all the paths would be correct from there, but they're not. Anyone feel like trying my gnue-common and gnue-forms packages for sid? hmm (silence falls on the channel) I can If not, I can just upload them. I've got them signed and ready. =) Action: ajmitch has crap in /usr/local/gnue that could conflict jcater: Lemme just get them to a website. i presume they shouldn't Yurik (~yrashk@as5300.kharkov.ukrtel.net) joined #gnuenterprise. ok, let us test! jbailey: my problem is i have 4 diff versions installed :) so im afraid my testinmg would bear much fruit once at least one other person has tested i will give it a whirl whats the name of that win32 library for python? win32all pythonwin ah, thanks siesel_ (jan@dial-213-168-92-126.netcologne.de) left irc: "night" http://www.python.org/windows/pythonwin/ of course there is no really useful documentation for it :) course not StyXman (~mdione@ADSL-200-59-86-17.cordoba.sinectis.com.ar) joined #gnuenterprise. hi StyXman jbailey: well I have a hack um jason@jason:~/test/GNUe-Forms-0.4.0a-pre3$ echo "import sys import src sys.modules{'gnue.forms':src} "; cat scripts/gnue-forms|python - --generate-man-page it works but it ain't pretty but it works from the staging area why do you want to build manpages that way? ajmitch: I'd prefer they just came from sdist they do come from sdist hi alll From your friendly neighbourhood aptable source: deb http://people.debian.org/~jbailey gnue sid as long as you already have forms installed apt-get install gnue-forms-wxgtk (this time I didn't mispelled it, is just for the consistence :) so. anybody seen siesel lately? StyXman: he was here briefly today hmmm I didn't set it up as an aptable source archive, but all the files are in there if you want to pull them down and see what I did. because a couple of weeks ago he said he will look into the problem that parameters are no set up at time I mean, I cannot use form parameters @ on-startup trigger and in database conditions... you can't get them or set them they're not built yet, as siesel said I can't _get_ them... but may be that is fixed? wha? wow somethings odd about those debs it runs *lol* no but my intro.gfd shows no labels that's not possible but running against my latest cvs copy, they do show chillywilly (danielb@mke-24-167-202-50.wi.rr.com) left irc: Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer) hmmm Action: jcater doesn't see how that could be related even bye chillywilly! yay! :) chillywilly (danielb@mke-24-167-202-50.wi.rr.com) joined #gnuenterprise. ajmitch: don't be talkin smack about a body err nevermind chillywilly (danielb@mke-24-167-202-50.wi.rr.com) left irc: Read error: 54 (Connection reset by peer) as I was saying.... :) chilliwilly bounces all around chillywilly (danielb@mke-24-167-202-50.wi.rr.com) joined #gnuenterprise.

(rather...) *sigh* jbailey: lemme do screenshots I don't see how this could have *anything* to do with debs but its odd jcater: frell off chillywilly: btie me ajmitch: why should I?

I don't think they're very good, mind you. ajmitch: much happier Tofu scramble is good though.= ) jcater: you have then far too often? I assume you are being sarcastic that's the second biggest running joke in irc about me 1. donuts Action: ajmitch wasn't sure if it was every night, or most nights :) 2. wife eats nothing but chicken strips :) seriously dude she was in such a mood for seafood \me thought "hell, yeah!" you haven't got her to eat only donuts? we go to red lobster we had some really good chicken strips at the hockey game last friday guess what she orders! chicken strips she's in the mood for mexican \me thought "hell, yeah!" we go to local mexican restaurant dude, your wife has issues guess what she orders! we are at jamest's house visiting for the weekend he takes us out to nice local restaurant one guess.... chicken strips and you have to eat them at home? Action: jcater usually does two meals ah I'm more a beef guy is she a bit obsessive compulsive? but I eat anything and everything Action: jbailey runs. chillywilly: only with food has t have eerything a certain way Action: ajmitch ties jbailey down has to only eat certsin things' ajmitch: Oooo. ajmitch: Just don't let Angie know. you ain't uploaded them packages yet! ajmitch: I think he's enjoying that too much jcater: that's what i'm worried about ajmitch: How would you know? =) i haven't heard omnic's scream in frustration yet omnic? Who's that? mike beattie I don' tknow him. one of the debian ftp people he works at uni here *lol* He doesn't like uploads? it's gnue :) wait until they have to put in override entries for all the new packages :) ajmitch: forms alerady will require one because of the name change. =) yup does gnue-forms-wxgtk replace gnue-forms? ajmitch: replace,conflicts, yes. ok jbailey: so, overall, how was my first deb? Action: jcater knows i had mistakes i have the lovely thing where i had to put an epoch version on my pnet debs So all I have left is designer, and I've adopted and replaced everything that was already in Debian. jcater: Good - Have you taken a look at the source for mine? you'll notice they look very similar to yours. appserver? jbailey: not yet gnue-appserver had best replace geas jbailey: do you have cvs access to our tree? oh yeah. 'geas' gnue-appserver has a lower version than geas, i guess :) what version is appserver at now? 0.0.6 (-8) appserver or geas? geas appserver shows 0.0.2 i wanted to know appserver :) But I'll upload it as a new package that conflicts/replaces the old one. It won't be a problem. ok I'll probably do designer tommorow morning so I can show it off to my boss. Is there any value in doing appserver yet, or should it wait? jcater: Yes, I do. do appserver just to get rid of geas petition for the removal of geas from the archive :) I'll just file a bug and have it removed. ok jcater: If you take a look at the packaging, you'll see why it's difficult to put in upstream CVS. I wouldn't mind creating another module in the GNUe project on savannah to store them, though. are all the packages called gnue-something? gnue doesn't do modules ;) chillywilly: They will be. sholdn't it be gnue-appserver? chillywilly: yes!! chillywilly: it will be ok, sorry... as soon as appserver is packaged Which might be this weekend. Action: chillywilly has to go vote for governor geas is the old andrewm & others code I know Yeah, I think I'll do designer tommorow morning. cool Hopefully it goes quickly like the last one did - about an hour. jbailey: which libgc was giving you troubles? ajmitch: Context? jbailey: GNU/Hurd just to go wildly offtopic :) ajmitch: None recently... jbailey: ok, it was libffi? libffi, yes. The one in gcc-3.2 right hmm Does dyfet ever drop by here anymore? yup Action: chillywilly is away: going to the polls from time to time I'll probably be writing software for telephone management for Nortel M1 Option 11c phone switches. It's probably something I should write as a plug in system and contribute to Bayonne. cool fun :) Yurik (~yrashk@as5300.kharkov.ukrtel.net) left irc: "÷ÙÛÅÌ ÉÚ XChat" in canada or U.S. jbailey? Depends who's looking for me. hehe grrrr Raleigh has a Nortel location. gentoo's webpage isn't konqueror friendly they should be shot Ah, I'm in Canada. But I don't work for Nortel. I use to admin at Fujitsu Network Switching for their developers.. I work for a company that is tired of paying contractors to do MAC orders. ok So I will write somethign that shows a picture of the phone, and you can change the buttons. When you hit 'go', it will out the set, and then upload the new one. =) But there's room for a couple levels of abstraction there: Both the set, and the backend. fool the users so that they always ring the helpdesk instead of the sysadmins? :) Action: ajmitch reads too much BOFH Could do that with call forward, never mind messing with sets. pity you can't rewire the phone to put mains voltage into the handset :) StyXman (~mdione@ADSL-200-59-86-17.cordoba.sinectis.com.ar) left irc: "silently" ajmitch: Expect the scream soon. =) :) gnue-common_0.4.1a-20021105-1_i386.changes uploaded successfully to localhost gnue-forms_0.4.1a-20021105-1_i386.changes uploaded successfully to localhost um what happens when we release 0.4.1? I will ignore it. 20021105 was yesterday ajmitch: Not here. you're so behind ajmitch: As always. jbailey: ??? jcater: The version number was generated from sdist - Assuming you never lower the number that it generates, I will continue to produce sane debs. we never lower the number but it will become 0.4.1 when released Excellent! 0.4.1 is lower than 0.4.1a. so you're lowering the number according to debian's versioning So I will probably be unable to update number you increment beyond that. wtf? bah. as others use X.X.Xa to indicate a subrelease after X.X.X Action: ajmitch has sane upstream for pnet :) according to debian's standards, I suppose so :( Remosi (dahoose@port-219-88-247-65.jet.net.nz) left irc: Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer) It had never occured to me that you might do it otherwise. jbailey: what if we change that do to (our internal code) 0.4.1_alpha that works out better, doesn't it? probably not 1 < 1_alpha :) Probably not. =( It's a fairly simple match. sigh which is why you get hideously ugly versions like 2.999+3.0.alpha20-3 (samba) In any event, it's uploaded, so I couldn't stop it now if I tried. I could always epoch it if it were terribly important. yup i had to do that yesterday :) And I need to go do my homework. lol Action: ajmitch runs away to study I guess we'll have to change our internal naming scheme jcater how are we moving on a 'fixed' schema program sigh tomorrow evening, i celebrate! Action: chillywilly is back (gone 00:25:40) ajmitch: yay! derek: moving Action: derek wants to do some *testing* after dinner ;) jcater: Sorry for the hassle. cool jbailey: well, I imagine it'll be an issue with all packaging systems we will later support Yeah, probably. I was just looking on gentoo and it will be there it would be on freebsd's ports I think it is on RH too. hmm I guess we could do 0.4.0.99 Yup. I've seen that. or go for 0.4.x But would you mind skipping to 1.4.2 for the next release? =) where x is even for stable if we're gonna start packaging up CVS periodically we may need to start that I'll talk to jamest tonight Sure. I will package up CVS as often as someone says "This would be a good idea". i have this: 0.4.7.20021106-1 as 0.4.6 was just released 0.4.8 will be next stable release ajmitch: I don't like that option because sometimes upstream decides they want to use another decimal place. jbailey: then i'd smack upstream around ajmitch: But cw *scares* me! hehe in my case upstream is the dotgnu people damn esands: Build-Depends dependency on gcc-3.2 cannot be satisfied because the package libc6.1-dev cannot be found What system are you on? oops, silly nick completion GNU/Hurd Really? That's messed up, lemme check my upload from this morning. it has | libc0.3-dev in build-depends :) jbailey: for this "change-over" period I supppose the official 0.4.1 release could be 0.4.1b wrt packaging :) jcater: Tx. =) as we can't change our method now err, until after 0.4.1 is released, I mean sure you can! we could release 0.4.2 exactly without a 0.4.1? yup sigh why bother releasing 0.4.1 at all jcater: It only stresses OCD people. =) might as well release 0.5.0 we have no method right now (seriously) other than chaos its completely abitrary I certainly wouldn't say that as to packaging why the a and b and c and such ajmitch: Something's messed up. My upload from this morning definetly doesn't mention libc6.1 derek: 0.4.0 is the last releaser or you could do what wolfgang is doing - start at -0.9 & work upwards to 0 :) cvs is known internally as 0.4.1a (alpha) that's for support reasons jbailey: hmm ok if a user goes to "Help|ABout" when using CVS it shows 0.4.1a jbailey: 3.2? that's our cue but when we release it becomes 0.4.1 imean more with numbers ajmitch: I upload gcc-3.2 this morning. ok ajmitch: Let's take it to #hurd that's the part that's not working my point is there is no 'roadmap' that states what release is what so there is no control no control for whom? at which point who cares if its 0.4.1 or 0.5.0 (independent of the alpha question) any control anywhere we have our internal markers there is nothing stating what features will be in what releases so USERS have no idea until something is released what is what a lot is dependent on whether common's API changed we do a bad job of limiting breakage if common's API is vastly different, it has to be a major point release until now its been no big deal I dare say it's not arbitrary as we didnt have mass of other developers and we didnt have production users it's not perfect, nor well planned but it's not arbitrary you and jamest both admit you use cvs generally for production we need to very soon get to the point where we really maintain 2 releases I'm actually using 0.4.0 in production so that someone on an old release can expect to get their bugs fixed i have no desire to release0.5.0 without major documentation but not expect a bunch of expiremental features or major breakage i thought someone was going to backport patches if we tagged cvs ? that would be me my problem is cvs commits are going like mad but the cvs commit messages frankly suck or have a stable branch maintainer - someone who's not handling the main tree and there is no roadmap or system used to manage what should be backported my proposal is we have a strict feature roadmap for the new releases and only if some feature is minor in nature does it get backported i can't see that working with free labor and bug fixes be committed as only the bugfix with commit messages pointing to the dcl bug number that's bullshit jamest: i never said 'put dates on features' you mean that developers have to put bugfixes into dcl even if they have a 5-min patch? what I'm saying is that like tonight ajmitch: absolutely i finally got sick of the no query by detail so I'm fixing it this isn't on any roadmap other than I'm sick of it and btw: im not saying that roadmaps cant change ajmitch: yes he is that's part of the problem jamest: you entirely miss the point or yesterday, i found a gtk2 bug, and fixed it within a couple of minutes haven't sent you the patch yet :) the point isnt that a roadmap cant change its that there is something to work at I'm not against roadmaps per se I think general guidelines are great and if someone deems you know what ofr 0.5.0 we need detail queries add it to the fucking roadmap at some point one has to say this road is closed or you end up with woody (the six year release) well we already have had this happen with two releases I have absolutely no hesitation putting woody into use at any place of business where they took twice as long as planned because 'features' snuck in without any IT department on standby jcater: you missed the analogy ask the debian developers how they felt about potato vs woody issue it was hell for them derek: And the fact that sarge is showing signs of being just as long. Remosi (dahoose@port-219-88-247-65.jet.net.nz) joined #gnuenterprise. certainly we can end up with things like 0.4.23423423423 woody was not that long cause 0.5.0 wont feature freeze chillywilly: hyperbole Action: derek isnt saying there is problems with 0.5.0 wtf are you talking about? just stating that the problems will only get worse the more develoeprs come along ajmitch: don't make me whoop you ;) wtf am i talking about? chillywilly: shutup for a change & let them argue it out :) certainly we can end up with things like 0.4.23423423423 well we have a group running a custom fuckign cvs cause we couldnt get our shit together ajmitch: same to you pal we couldn't get our shit together? g'night gentlemen. and another group that stopped putting full time employees on gnue because we cant understand development cycles jbailey (~jbailey@atlas.fundserv.com) left #gnuenterprise ("Client Exiting"). jcater: yeah we promissed a release for a month and never showed signs of getting close part of the gawd damn problem were buggy patches from them that got into cvs wait that was a month BEFORE they STARTED thier cvs the REASON they had own cvs is our release was 6 months old Action: chillywilly hands out the popcorn SachaS (~Sacha@dialup-196-91.wasp.net.au) joined #gnuenterprise. here ajmitch, I'm sowwy derek: so what are you proposing? hard feature freeze at specified times, followed by only bugfixes until release? ajmitch: im saying if you have a roadmap for say 0.5.0 and 0.4.0 is current release any bug fixes applied to cvs can immediately be ported to 0.4.0 tree and new 0.4.1 and 0.4.2 releases can be made as soon as the feature list is nearing completion for 0.5.0 someone says ok we are freezing 0.5.0 any new features go into 0.6.0 roadmap like KDE's cycle? "branch"? nothing prevents that today however the API is constatnly in flux, we are a 0.5.0 project chillywilly: someone has to maintain it new features have to be added to the feature plan jcater: yes jamest: i have stated in the past it has been impossible to do this to a degree BUT I can see something stable as we approach 1.0 as we get more developers and more solid releases it will be mandatory to avoid chaos well, another way to approach this problem that i would prefer an (semi-)automated testing framework i'd love to see that today I would to and I've BEGGED people to do it jamest: certainly that is necessary to help speed moving a release out the door I haven't seen a damn thing as thats one thing that has made the process difficult so guess what feature freeze is called I guess you or I need to do it and it takes too long to test to point where its too tempting to add new features in siesel has even taken the initiative to start one in samples/testcases but I don't see testcases flowing in yeah, i've been adding to it for what I'm working on but it's not standardized yet was hoping to make it part of the 0.5.0 cleanup release there's different types of testing black-box, white box, etc. white box requires good knowledge of the code that is being tested the *internals* of it there's probably on 3 ppl right now that fit this description, imho er, only with perhaps a couple that have a decent understanding how do you do automated forms testing? well you have test cases and unit testing unit testing will take a program that interfaces with the API of forms etc Action: chillywilly apppoints derek as the "getting our shit together" guru ;) ajmitch: we'd have to create a pipe to send pre-packaged events into the form right, so you can't really test UI drivers that well test cases should be sample forms sets or applications that have a QA person walk through as they're terribly subjective at times :) i wanted to make a gnue navigator thing well also the ppl need to document when they test it with various forms that had pages lableed step 1 2 3 4 especially when it is interactive like a form and a final pass/fail step basically we need a testing team and/or go intoa testing mode chillywilly, i dont think anyone wants me to have that title as they feel i dont do any work and only demand things its much more fun to code when you just do as you like anything is better than what we have now its more like work if you add structure and i can relate to that which IIRC was jcater saying "prereleases is here please test" then have people test after the final release but it is sort of informal no offense jamest: yes anything is better soem ppl can't code without some structure as they like to see down the "road" ;) unfortunately all people are like that just the people closest to gnue have the roadmap in their head and cant see why anyone is frustrated that there is no structure or voices telling us what to do next :P because when you are close to it, there appears to be structure (and there is) just its not in a format that can be well shared i.e. not everyone can hear the voices ;) well can't I download the jcater essence via my nueral interface ala the matrix? fwiw: its not so much requesting things be radically different than they are now, just that they be better presented to the public well to use psu's terminology when I brought up wikis we are already stretched pretty thin wiki, wiki the few of us and i still think that all bugs should go through a tool, if everyone hates dcl fine, lets use bugzilla or request tracker or whatever people like and you make it sound like we are unresponsive to the public but its necessary to cut down support as we grow I've spent a HELL of a lot of time on the developer's guide did I need the damn thing? no dsmith (~dsmith@p199.n-chpop03.stsn.com) joined #gnuenterprise. jcater: yes i agree to that thanks jcater :) did I have more pressing things I should've been working on? yes we luv you man! im willing to write up roadmaps and maintain a back branch and dammit you make it sound like we just only add new features and never look back but not if i have to swim against the river to do it jamest and I take a release every so often and do NOTHING but cleanup and profiling i.e. if you and jamest loathe the idea of roadmaps i woudl rather not try to document whats in your heads for the public :) and cos err, docs jcater: actually my complaint is you guys do far too much clean up :) lol and my hope is to get to a point where others can 'clean up some' and you guys can add new cool stuff there are tons of things I want to toss in 0.5.0 derek: so would I I would also like some donuts but I don't have any depreciated tags and the upgrade code hidden in gnue to support them so it won't happen jcater: I have some Action: chillywilly thinks derek must change his nick to "masta" when going on such a crusade ;) it's only fair to warn ppl when he's in masta-mode maybe a step down from masta mode would help we can only take so many "forms is useless... it's been useless since 0.3.0" I have to go home bye I hope my cable modem resynced over night cya l8r jcater (~jason@w202.z065105010.mem-tn.dsl.cnc.net) left irc: "home" ratmice (matt@vespertine.pc.ashlandfiber.net) joined #gnuenterprise.

I mean how does the selector match in sysylogd.conf? syslogd.conf syslog.conf even ;) how does exim know to use mail.conf in /var/log? mail.log that is how can I know which "priority" the filetering code jas to say do kernel.iptables /var/log/iptables.log or whatever where does it get the selector and priority? how can I know what has what? I still don't understand the question, but man syslogd I have been reading syslog.conf man page that will be the next one I look at the syslogd man page Mr_You: you mean a big unix admin liek you doesn't have this tuff memorized? ;) The priority is one of the following keywords, in ascend­ ing order: debug, info, etc.. thats in syslogd.conf syslog.conf man page yea I got that but how would I know wat priority iptables messages have? so I can put them in their own place or would they just be in kern kernel.whatever yeah they are a part of kern nm, I am just going to read until I get an answer I can't separate them? I doubt it. I don't want all the packet stuff filling up /var/log/mesages not via syslog messages maybe via iptables configuration or spewing to the console when I have a VT on my firewall box yeah you would have to route kern.=info or such to /var/log/info how do you know it is info? "or such" that's what I don't grokk someone said there was an --log-to option but I don't see it you'll just have to find which one it is that you want since it doesn't tell you in the man pages for iptables that is Remosi (dahoose@port-219-88-247-65.jet.net.nz) joined #gnuenterprise. not in the debian version woody I am rnning sid of course ;) I would just setup multiple lines and log files and pick which one you wanna keep or setup one and just change the = part paqan (~paqan@202.155.120.221) left irc: "Client Exiting" jbailey (~jbailey@65.48.140.35) joined #gnuenterprise. the jeff-meister!
