vagrantc, hi, scrolled up yesterdays discussion, tarballs break up look good
05:10
<vagrantc>
cyberorg: cool
05:10
<cyberorg>
vagrantc, you pinged?
05:11
<vagrantc>
cyberorg: just wanted to make sure all the active folks working on ltsp knew that that important conversation was happening
05:12
<cyberorg>
we would only know if it is best when we have first tarballs, we can always improve if required :)

re
12:13
how was the meeting in Maine?
12:16
<cliebow>
Q-FUNK, tight now it is just three of us..Gadi warren and I
12:16
others are out riding around
12:16
<Q-FUNK>
ok
12:16
any interesting developments?
12:17
<vagrantc>
depends on what you mean by interesting
12:17
<cliebow>
well..mostly ironing out how to set up ltsp as upstream
12:17* vagrantc finds that very interesting
12:17
<cliebow>
it is but no earthshattering discoveries 8~(
12:17
)
12:18
my job is to listen a lot..
12:45K_O-Gnom has quit IRC
12:50
<Q-FUNK>
so RH and the others could have amore clear set of upstream tarballs to package?
12:50
<vagrantc>
that's part of it
12:51
it's also splitting out different code bases into separate tarballs
12:52
i.e. split ldm out of the ltsp code
12:58
<Q-FUNK>
I think that's of secondary importance
12:58
for instance, RH's main complaint was that there doesn't seem to be regular upstream tarball releases at ltsp.org anymore, because everything is SO ubuntu-centric
12:59
<vagrantc>
sure

it's even been an issue at times with debian/ubuntu relations, even though they're much closer

14:02
<jammcq>
i've been BUSY
14:02
<davidj>
ha!
14:06
<vagrantc>
masus: ok ... so ... what version of ltsp do you have installed: dpkg -l 'ltsp*' | egrep ^ii
14:06
<masus>
ii ltsp-server 0.99debian11 Basic LTSP server environment
14:06
pbx:~#
14:06* vagrantc turns the mental clock back a year ...
14:07
<vagrantc>
masus: have you run ltsp-update-sshkeys ?
14:07
<masus>
yes i have
14:07
<vagrantc>
masus: you get a message saying "login failed" ?
14:07
<masus>
yes
14:08
i have add these -> next-server 10.0.0.1; option root-path "/opt/ltsp/i386";
14:08
<vagrantc>
masus: dpkg --root=/opt/ltsp/i386 ldm 'ltsp*' | egrep ^ii
14:08
masus: if you're getting a login screen, dhcp is working fine.
14:09
<masus>
i get a long message
14:09
<vagrantc>
masus: dpkg --root=/opt/ltsp/i386 ldm 'ltsp*' | egrep ^ii
14:09
<masus>
Options marked [*] produce a lot of output - pipe it through `less' or `more' !
14:10
this is the last lint of the message
14:10
<vagrantc>
masus: where are you seeing this message ?
14:10
<masus>
dpkg: need an action option
14:10
<vagrantc>
masus: dpkg --root=/opt/ltsp/i386 -l ldm 'ltsp*' | egrep ^ii
14:10
sorry
14:10
<masus>
ii ldm 0.99debian11 LTSP display manager
14:10
ii ltsp-client 0.99debian11 LTSP client environment
14:11
<vagrantc>
masus: do you have an /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf ?
14:11
<masus>
no
14:11
<vagrantc>
ok.
14:11
masus: i really don't ever recall that version of ldm reporting any error messages ...
14:12
<masus>
i see the kdm login page
14:12
<vagrantc>
ah.
14:12
<masus>
but always after i type my user and pass
14:12
<vagrantc>
that's clearer
14:12
<masus>
i get the message login failed
14:12
<vagrantc>
masus: did you install kdm ?
14:12
<masus>
yes
14:13
may i miss something ?
14:13
<vagrantc>
masus: are you trying to log into the thin client or the server ?
14:13
<masus>
client
14:13
<vagrantc>
masus: or rather, why did you install kdm ... ?
14:13
<masus>
what i have to install ?
14:13
<vagrantc>
what are you trying to do ?
14:14
<masus>
hmmm
14:14
how to explain
14:14
<vagrantc>
a "normal" ltsp5 install uses ldm to log into the server. so why did you install kdm ?
14:14
<masus>
oooh
14:14
so i have to install ldm ?
14:15
<vagrantc>
masus: sounds like ldm is installed, but kdm will take priority if it's installed and you haven't told it to use ldm
14:15
<masus>
it"s not important fopr me kde gnome or xfce
14:15
or ldm
14:15
<vagrantc>
masus: did you do anything else to the chroot ?
14:16
<masus>
no
14:16
only to /etc/exports
14:16
<vagrantc>
masus: chroot /opt/ltsp/i386/ apt-get remove kdm
14:16
masus: and reboot your thin client
14:16
<warren>
sbalneav, http://people.redhat.com/wtogami/temp/Makefile
14:16
sbalneav, non-functional example to insert for now.
14:16
<masus>
ok i'll try
14:17
<vagrantc>
warren: what are these *.spec files ?
14:18
<warren>
vagrantc, that's the rpm spec file, the actual Makefile would pull it from some file in dist/
14:19
<vagrantc>
warren: ah, got it.
14:32
<masus>
vagrantc: after i remove kde , i can login but not a desktop
14:32
howto with kde desktop ?
14:33
<vagrantc>
masus: on the *server*, apt-get install kde
14:34
<masus>
first chroot /opt/ltsp/i386
14:34
or without
14:34
<vagrantc>
NO.
14:34
<masus>
hmmm
14:34
ok
14:34
<vagrantc>
i always am explicit if something needs to be done in the chroot.
14:35
unless you're doing something weird, you usually don't install anything in the chroot
14:36
only thing you mess with in the chroot are occasionally configuration files
14:36
like lts.conf
15:12
<masus>
vagrantc: thanks
15:12
it's working fine now
15:12

20:38
some of it's a little over my head- i'm not real swift when it comes to Makefiles
20:38
<otavio>
?
20:39
<vagrantc>
i'm not real good with make
20:41
otavio: and i'll really have to figure out dpatch or quilt now :)
20:41
<otavio>
vagrantc: it's easy
20:41
vagrantc: :-)
20:41
vagrantc: ask for help if need
20:43* otavio is not good with perl
20:48
<vagrantc>
otavio: i'm really hoping to see ltsp 5.0.39debian1 hit lenny before we do the major package split ... but the buildd's keep changing state ... or build the package but never upload it ...
20:50
<otavio>
vagrantc: which arch?
20:50
<vagrantc>
otavio: arm has been built twice now (once today, and once about a week ago), and hppa finished building on october 26th ... and powerpc keeps moving back into dep-wait
20:51
otavio: even though the package that the buildd is waiting on has already progressed into lenny
20:52
otavio: as far as i can read from the logs, nothing looks bad on any of the arm/hppa builds ...
20:53
otavio: http://buildd.debian.org/pkg.cgi?pkg=ltsp
20:53
m68k is slow, but that's not an issue for lenny
20:54* vagrantc wonders if we shouldn't ignore some architectures
20:55
<vagrantc>
otavio: i guess we can upload the package split to experimental first ...
20:56
<sbalneav>
otavio: You're gonna have to repackage everything though.
20:56
bzr get http://www.ltsp.org/~sbalneav/jetpipe
20:56
<vagrantc>
sbalneav: but it will be so much nicer :)

20:57
<vagrantc>
sbalneav: did you just start totally new branches ?
20:57
<sbalneav>
Everything's broken ATM, but structure
20:57
s there.
20:57
Heck no.
20:57
I ruddy spent most of my day doing bzr mv bzr del
20:57
<vagrantc>
so you forked off the existing branches ?
20:57
<sbalneav>
yup
20:57
<vagrantc>
heh
20:58
<sbalneav>
ldm was the biggest pain in the ass
20:58
<vagrantc>
yeah, i already ran through some of that
20:58
<sbalneav>
since I had to fork the ltsp tree as a whole, and delete everything non ldm related.
20:59
All upstream stuff
20:59
is in the "dist" directory
20:59
make dist in all of them makes a tarball
21:00
"debian" dir is there, but either unpopulated or wrong for all four
21:00
so there's a metric sh*tpot of work left to do.
21:01* vagrantc notes the need to merge the debian branch
21:02
<sbalneav>
You'll not be wanting to merge anything for a while.
21:03
part of localapps has landed in ltsp as well: xrexecd
21:04
gtkgreeter and ldm got merged together,
21:05
vagrantc: how fast could you do an example debian rules thingy in, say, jetpipe?
21:05
Which is pretty simple.
21:05
<otavio>
wow
21:06
<vagrantc>
sbalneav: quickest way would be to use cdbs, probably
21:06
pwd
21:06
ls

If you could show me that one, I could probably split up the peices from the "old" ltsptree, and split out ldm, and patch things up for ltspfs, ldm, etc.
21:06
<vagrantc>
but i know some people express reservations about cdbs
21:07
<sbalneav>
I'm tired, and my back hurts. Wahhh
21:07
I know I know
21:08
"Want a little cheese to go with that whine?"
21:08
:)
21:08
<jammcq>
heh
21:08* vagrantc spent an extra 4 hours thinking vagrantc broke freegeek's mailing lists only to discover something else broke mail altogether at the same time
21:09
<otavio>
vagrantc: I like cdbs a lot
21:09
<vagrantc>
otavio: me too.
21:09
<otavio>
vagrantc: and personally use it here at work a lot
21:09
<sbalneav>
What's cdbs
21:09
<otavio>
vagrantc: personally I'd be ok to use it for all ltsp related packages if you don't mind to
21:10
sbalneav: a layer above debhelper to packaging Debian source
21:10
<sbalneav>
Will that be ok with Oli?
21:10Amaranth has joined #ltsp
21:10
<vagrantc>
otavio: i'd be happy to do so for debian, but i'd like to try and check in with the ubuntu crowd if there are objections
21:10
<sbalneav>
ogra: You there?
21:10
<otavio>
sbalneav: you could see it as: dpkg-* -> debhelper -> cdbs
21:10davidj has joined #ltsp
21:11
<otavio>
ogra: :-)
21:11
<vagrantc>
sbalneav: it's essentially a kitchen-sink of building debian packages
21:11
<davidj>
warren: ping
21:11
<vagrantc>
sbalneav: rather than all that craziness in debian/rules you normally see, you can trim it down to just a few lines
21:11
<sbalneav>
OK, so enlighten me. Do it in jetpipe.
21:12
<otavio>
sbalneav: the nicest thing about cdbs is that it's very powerful and easy to use for teams since we can write "helpers" that fit well on it and makes all set of policies possible without much hassle
21:12
<warren>
davidj, ?
21:12davidj has quit IRC
21:12
<vagrantc>
sbalneav: so ... to get a source tarball ... ?
21:12
<sbalneav>
make dist in the root repo
21:13
<vagrantc>
wow, .bz2 makes a big difference
21:13
<jammcq>
Gadi: ping
21:13
<otavio>
sbalneav: what's jetpipe?
21:13
<vagrantc>
half the size
21:13J45p3r has quit IRC
21:13
<vagrantc>
otavio: for supporting printing with thin clients
21:13
<Gadi>
jammcq: pong 1 serving 0
21:13
<otavio>
ah
21:13davidj has joined #ltsp
21:13
<davidj>
query warren
21:13
ping
21:13
<sbalneav>
it's the little hpjetdirect widget we supply to make a printer appear on the network.
21:14
might be useful for something else, so packaged separately.
21:14
<vagrantc>
also, hopefully we'll only update it once in a great while ...
21:14
<sbalneav>
right.
21:15
it's fairly simple
21:15
so the Debian stuff should go in the "debian" dir in the root of the repo
21:15
<otavio>
sbalneav: I'd say to _not_ put debian/ theer
21:16
<vagrantc>
otavio: it won't be in the tarball
21:16
<otavio>
sbalneav: leave it outside and on debian/ubuntu only
21:16
<vagrantc>
otavio: just in the bzr repo
21:16
<sbalneav>
it won't be in the tarball that way.
21:16
<otavio>
vagrantc: neither on it
21:16
<davidj>
warren: BUS=="usb", SYSFS{product}=="Palm Handheld*|Handspring *", KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", NAME="ttyUSB%n", SYMLINK="pilot", GROUP="usb", MODE="0666"
21:16
<otavio>
vagrantc: keep it separated
21:16
upstream / distros
21:16
<sbalneav>
I want it in there.
21:16
<otavio>
sbalneav: why?
21:16
<vagrantc>
as an example
21:16
<sbalneav>
Because.
21:17
That's where I want it.
21:17* vagrantc kind of likes the idea
21:17
<otavio>
sbalneav: you'll be able to merge the branch there .. see no problem
21:17
sbalneav: usually, isn't good to have packaging files on upstream repository
21:18
sbalneav: mostly since it can get outdated
21:18
sbalneav: and so it lose its value
21:18
sbalneav: besides, it confuses who gets the source
21:18
<sbalneav>
We discussed this yesterday between vagrantc, ogra, warren togami, jammcq, and mysel
21:18
<otavio>
sbalneav: since it looksto be part of it
21:18
<sbalneav>
it's an upstream decision
21:18
and that's the way it's gonna be.
21:18
You wanted upstream
21:18
you got it.
21:19
<otavio>
sbalneav: oh .. :(
21:19
sbalneav: I would like to have been invited to this discussion
21:19
<davidj>
I think there's going to be a "fedora" directory, too
21:19
<warren>
otavio, there will be a fedora directory
21:20
otavio, although within dist, not outside it like debian.
21:20
<vagrantc>
within dist ?
21:20
<warren>
(ogra wanted it outside for some reason)
21:20
<sbalneav>
You weren't around, vagrantc was.
21:20* vagrantc would like it outside
21:20
<otavio>
well ... it has been decided without me so I doesn't look that I'm helping discussing it
21:21* otavio goes to something else
21:21
<vagrantc>
hrm.
21:21
<warren>
otavio, what exactly do you dislike about this?
21:22
<vagrantc>
warren: i definitely don't like the idea of some distros including code in dist and some outside ...
21:22
<otavio>
warren: the plugins dirs I agree since they're required to be used all around the distros but _packaging_ is really _specific_ so it ought to not be on upstream
21:22
warren: and you'll end up diverging the code anyway
21:23
<warren>
otavio, LTSP-5 is useless on all distros without distro-specific plugins within the upstream tarball.
21:23
<otavio>
warren: since in sometime in future you'll disaagree with upstream and keep patches
21:23
<warren>
otavio, without those plugins it can't do anything.
21:23
<otavio>
warren: plugins is OK
21:23
warren: packaging and specific things no
21:23
<warren>
oh
21:23
<vagrantc>
warren: packaging and plugins are totally different
21:23
<warren>
otavio, you mean the debian directory shouldn't be here
21:23GodFather has joined #ltsp
21:23
<otavio>
warren: neither fedora .spec
21:23
warren: neither what ever _not_ part of tarball
21:24
<warren>
otavio, I think I understand
21:24
<otavio>
warren: upstream repository _need_ to reflect what's the tarball
21:24
sbalneav: sorry but this is the way _I_ see it
21:24booghotfoot has joined #ltsp
21:24
<otavio>
sbalneav: as you said, _you_ are the upstream ... do whatever you want
21:25
<warren>
otavio, I think there is a disconnect here
21:25* jammcq thinks so too
21:25
<otavio>
sbalneav: and wasn't polite to decide it without even talking to me
21:25
<warren>
otavio, yes, .spec wont be in upstream's bzr
21:25
otavio, the equivalent debian/ubuntu to rpm's .spec probably shouldn't either.
21:26
<otavio>
sbalneav: I think I had some important participation on what's now LTSP 5
21:26
sbalneav: it would be repect to ping me
21:26
<warren>
otavio, however I think ogra failed to make a distinction between the packaging recipe and distro specific plugins.
21:26
<sbalneav>
otavio: It was well publicized we were going to be doing this this weekend.
21:26
<otavio>
sbalneav: since we have been asking for it for more then a year
21:26
<warren>
otavio, ogra is the one that wanted the debian directory out of dist
21:26
<sbalneav>
And vagrantc was aware, I assume that debian developers communicate.
21:26
<warren>
otavio, I suspect *a* debian directory containing debian/ubuntu specific plugins belongs in dist
21:26
<otavio>
warren: plugins or packaging?
21:27
<warren>
otavio, but the packaging recipe doesn't belong upstream
21:27
<sbalneav>
And vagrantc WAS there, and was in on this decision, so Debian was represented.
21:27
<otavio>
warren: on plugins there're two: one for debian and another to ubuntu
21:27
sbalneav: it's not Debian
21:27
sbalneav: but upstream work
21:27
sbalneav: and some code was written by me and vagrant
21:28
sbalneav: so looks logical to at least send an e-mail or ask vagrant to ping me
21:28
warren: exactly
21:28
<warren>
otavio, I think the fundamental disconnect is made by ogra's misunderstanding, there is no need for anyone to be upset.
21:28
<vagrantc>
otavio: sorry, i should have told you sooner
21:28
<warren>
otavio, we simply need to disconnect the "debian" directory idea of plugins vs. packaging
21:28
plugins belong in dist, upstream
21:28
<jammcq>
otavio: ya know what.... I should have invited you to LTSP-bts-2007. I take full responsibility for you not knowing that we'd be working on this stuff this weekend
21:28
<warren>
packaging doesn't
21:29
<otavio>
warren: yes. you got it
21:29
<jammcq>
and for that, please accept my appology
21:29laprag has left #ltsp
21:29
<otavio>
warren: plugins is distro support and it belongs to upstream
21:29
warren: packaging and specific patches doesn't
21:29
<warren>
right ok
21:29
<otavio>
warren: and specific patches _will exist_
21:29
<warren>
in the distro's packaging
21:29* vagrantc tries to get jetpipe to build
21:30
<otavio>
warren: there're a bunch of rpm based distros that will use fedora with patches above
21:31
<warren>
otavio, or they are welcome to create their own distro-specific plugins dir in upstream's bzr
21:31
<otavio>
warren: yes
21:31
warren: but they'll first use fedora as basis
21:31
<warren>
muwhahahahha
21:31
<otavio>
warren: like ubuntu was done when we wrote it in 2006
21:31
<warren>
oh
21:31* warren quit.
21:32
<otavio>
warren: it was first made as changes and then we split it in another plugin dir
21:33
<vagrantc>
the plugins allow for multiple distros to take a look at what other distros are doing, while still remain separate ...
21:34
<otavio>
well .. I think I've make clear what I think ... now I'm gona work on debian-cd

21:45
<vagrantc>
sbalneav: ok, got a quick and dirty debian dir for jetpipe
21:45
sbalneav: it's got some templates left in it, but i think you get the idea
21:49
sbalneav: there's a bazillion other ways to do it
21:49
<sbalneav>
ok, lay it on me.
21:50

sbalneav: http://llama.freegeek.org/~vagrant/bzr/jetpipe-debian-dir

ldm is so broken.
21:50* vagrantc heads for a sauna
21:50
<jammcq>
you touched it last
21:50
<sbalneav>
Do I merge that with jetpipe? (just being clear)
21:50
<vagrantc>
sbalneav: it's just the debian dir ... not any of the dist stuff
21:51
sbalneav: so you could: bzr get http://llama.freegeek.org/~vagrant/bzr/jetpipe-debian-dir debian
21:51
sbalneav: from within your unpacked source dir
21:51
<sbalneav>
ah, ok
21:52
<vagrantc>
sbalneav: here's a simple class i taught a while back: http://wiki.freegeek.org/index.php/Basic_Debian_Packaging

we could maybe use the autotools cdbs rules ...
21:54
<otavio>
vagrantc: it's good since it uses it in cross compiling compatible ways and like
21:55
<vagrantc>
otavio: if i wasn't leaving in 5 minutes, i'd play with it a little more :)
21:55* vagrantc isn't real autotools savvy either
21:55
<vagrantc>
that's why there's things like cdbs :)
21:56
<moquist>
sbalneav: would you like a break to answer questions I have that you've probably already answered for yourself, or would that just be an unwelcome distraction?
21:56
