telmichAfter reading the current thread on the ML, I was wondering if there is some kind of internal (public?) ticket system for "what to do next in Devuan"?07:33
* _moep_ waves…07:34
telmich_moep_: You are awake too early!07:34
golinuxHi telmich . . . yes on the devuan-dev mail list07:34
telmichgolinux: and you are awake too long!07:34
telmichdamn!07:34
* golinux is up too late07:34
telmicheveryone awake in here!07:34
telmich:-)07:34
_moep_lol07:34
* telmich drinking ginseng tea, finding it certainly too early07:35
telmichgolinux: A wonderful good night morning and night you first of all!07:35
telmichgolinux: What I was looking for is more a list of tasks with assignees or even without assignees07:35
golinuxWe'll probably discuss it at the meet on Wednesday.  I'll put up a pad tomorrow.07:37
golinuxWe are still at the collective groan stage of dealing with this.07:38
telmichHmm... I might get sentimental, but this too-early-too-late-only-few-people-awake scenerio feels great. IRC is really like an old bar in the middle of nowhere land, with all kinds of strangers entering, ordering a drink and some dust in the air. Love it!07:38
telmichgolinux: understood perfectly, thank you! Reason for me asking is, if there was such a thing as a list of tasks, it might hypothetically be possible for people to come from outside and pickup work or (crazy variant) for companies supporting devuan to allocate resources to tasks07:40
onefangOver on this side of the planet, Centurion_Dan and I still see daylight.07:41
telmichgolinux: And short follow up remark: in case the discussion goes towards "too much time to organise/maintain such a thing", I am more than happy to provide/dedicate a redmine instance07:41
telmichonefang: A wonderful good morning!07:41
_moep_telmich: An IPv4 address walks into a bar and yells "Bartender! I'll have a strong CIDR, because I'm exhausted"07:41
onefanglol07:41
_moep_but yes some kind tasks would be nice. Maybe I can help :)07:44
telmich_moep_: The bartender replies: "Sorry old gal, your time is over" and the IPv4 address looks into the eyes of the bartender, both nod and it commits suicide.07:44
_moep_telmich: lol07:44
telmichbbl -> meeting, will read later07:49
* golinux hasn't been in a bar on over 50 years08:00
Centurion_Dano/08:55
Centurion_DanKatolaZ, you around??12:33
Centurion_DanKatolaZ, I tried to do an install with the latest ascii mini.iso and it failed to detect ascii as a valid suite - looks like choosemirror may have an issue...12:36
Centurion_Danatleast in that build of debian-installer.12:38
KatolaZuh?12:38
KatolaZdid you use deb.devuan.org? (maybe a faulty mirror?)_12:39
Centurion_Danhmmm that's a point.  I'll have to test again... the net-install iso works fine though ;-)12:40
KatolaZok13:37
KatolaZmaybe we need to bump the kernel version then13:37
KatolaZin the mini-iso13:37
Centurion_Danit's not a kernel issue it's failing at the end of choose-mirror process - doesn't seem to like ascii.13:55
Centurion_DanAnyway, I'm heading to bed.  I'm working on a full test setup of our ci stack to work on releasebot upgrades to enable auto architecture detection and being able to choose the architecture at build time (so we can then do catchup builds for new archs)13:58
Centurion_DanI should have most of this in place tomorrow.13:58
Centurion_Danalso trying out debians gitlab package - non-omnibus, so doesn't replicate half the os in a chroot...13:59
RyushinAnyone notice that apparmor gets installed with kernel installation on Beowulf and Ceres?  It can be installed after the fact, but I'm wondering if there is a way to remove the links to have it depend on a linux-image when the kernel is installed.14:56
fsmithredRyushin, I don't have apparmor in my beowulf. Try installing kernel without recommends.15:31
Ryushinfsmithred: Thank you, I'll check on that.15:32
fsmithredI don't see apparmor listed as a dependency or recommends for linux-image15:33
fsmithredtry 'aptitude why apparmor'15:33
RyushinI just run apt upgrade and it auto selects apparmor whenever I installed a linux-image.  But may it was coincidence.  I'll check deeper.15:33
fsmithredwell, if it's already installed, it will get upgraded when there are newer packages15:34
RyushinI've been seeing this behavior on Ceres for awhile.15:34
RyushinI have to keep purging apparmor and it always comes back when doing an apt upgrade.  It seems linked to the linux-image.15:35
fsmithredtry 'aptitude why apparmor'15:35
Ryushini A linux-image-4.18.0-1-amd64 Recommends apparmor15:36
RyushinStrange that recommends are being installed.15:36
fsmithredno, that's standard unless you changed apt.conf15:38
Ryushinfsmithred:  Uggg.  I wonder why this is being pushed down now.15:39
RyushinI'll google to see if I can remove recommends just for kernel packages.15:40
fsmithredoh, it is listed as a Recommends. I didn't see it the first time.15:40
fsmithredapt-get --no-install-recommends <package>15:40
fsmithredoops15:40
RyushinWonder if this can be changed in the Devuan sanity package.15:40
fsmithredneed to add "install" before package name15:41
fsmithredaptitude -R install <package>15:41
fsmithredput the following in a file under /etc/apt/apt.conf.d (you can choose a file name)15:42
fsmithredAPT::Install-Recommends "no";15:42
fsmithrednorecommends might be a good file name15:43
RyushinI just put it in my apt.conf.  I like everything in one place like that.15:43
RyushinThat helps me.  But what about others.  Do we want apparmor being installed by default?15:43
fsmithreddon't know. I know I've had it installed by default in the past, but I never used it.15:44
fsmithredDon't recall if that was in debian or something else (maybe suse or fedora core)15:44
fsmithredI know for sure we don't want to exclude recommends by default.15:45
RyushinWell, as soon as the system reboots, apparmor profiles run.  It was just getting in the way of so many things when Debian just started doing this that now, I just uninstall it every time it installs.  And if I miss it before the reboot, uninstall, then reboot again.15:45
fsmithredToo much stuff would not work. It would create a support nightmare.15:46
fsmithredis there an /etc/default/apparmor where you can turn it off?15:46
RyushinDon't know.  It's not installed.  :)15:46
RyushinI'll install it and check.15:46
fsmithredlol, yeah15:47
fsmithredor apt-file list apparmor15:47
RyushinDoes apt-file work yet?  I've been missing using that for years.15:47
fsmithredthere's /etc/init.d/apparmor, so you can turn it off there15:48
fsmithredeither with update-rc.d or sysv-rc-conf15:48
Ryushinfsmithred: True.  I just did not like it getting installed.15:49
fsmithredyeah, I understand that15:49
RyushinCould not find a way to blacklist the package from even being installed.15:49
fsmithredI know the feeling15:49
fsmithredyes, apt-file works15:49
fsmithredit's been working on pkgmaster for a long time and on auto.mirror more recently15:50
RyushinThank goodness.  Having to use other tools in place of apt-file did not work so well.15:50
RyushinOne other thing.  dpkg seems to have changed in ceres recently when doing a "dpkg -l "*bash*", it now pipes the output to something like less by default.15:51
RyushinDoes not do it in beowulf, yet.15:52
fsmithrednot in beowulf15:52
fsmithredthat sucks15:52
RyushinIt is very annoying.15:52
RyushinI'm having to always | cat now.15:52
fsmithredI don't suppose there's an un-pipe character.15:52
fsmithredoy15:52
RyushinJust a dumb thing to change the default.  Most people using dpkg want it to behave the way it has always behaved.15:53
fsmithredchanging old behavior is a trend15:54
fsmithredbrb15:54
parazydRyushin: export LESS="-F -X $LESS"15:59
parazydMaybe it helps15:59
Ryushinparazyd: Thanks, I'll look at that.16:47
Ryushinparazyd: Thanks on the less options.  It did fix what dpkg is doing.  Though, I would like to track down which change in the package added this "feature".20:31
parazydRyushin: Whatever is providing /etc/profile* I guess20:59
Ryushinparazyd: I mean what changed dpkg's behavior to call less for a simple dpkg -l query.21:01
kilobytefsmithred: "export PAGER=cat" affects a bunch of other programs with this behaviour, like git21:05
kilobyteas for "unpipe", there's pipetty -- what you want is piping not unpiping :)21:08
fsmithredkilobyte, are you sure of the spelling? I'm finding electrophoresis tools.21:50
fsmithredaha! colorized-logs22:07
fsmithredhave you got one that adds ascii cats to logs?22:08
Centurion_Danascii cats?  is that a new breed?22:10
fsmithredno, I meant ascii art22:12
fsmithredmonochromatic cats?22:13
fsmithredDevuan Cats22:41
fsmithredplay clean as country water22:41
parazydkilobyte: By piping to cat(1) you'll lose colors, fwiw.23:29
Centurion_DanSo, I tried installing gitlab (the debian package - not omnibus) on an ascii host and it failed miserably... for onething, it doesn't have sysvinit scripts...23:37
Centurion_DanIt's got me thinking... does anybody think it'23:37
Centurion_Dans pheasible to create a tool run as a trigger post-install that can create init scripts, xinetd socket watchters, cron files etc from systemd unit files when they aren't already provided in the package?23:40
Centurion_Danwe could call it devuan-baptise ;-)23:41
Centurion_Danparazyd-^23:42
Centurion_Daninsserv can be used to manage the dependency side of things23:44
Centurion_Danx-inetd for socket listening services23:44
Centurion_Danetc..23:44
Centurion_Danthis could along with the systemd-noop reduce the friction with debian's excising init scripts from packages.23:45
parazydCenturion_Dan: Note it on the pad in /topic :)23:46
golinuxHi everybody.  Here's the pad for this week's meet:23:46
golinuxhttps://pad.dyne.org/code/#/1/edit/xPKNp93WQqptudr-RbMMVw/ztRddRIlvv8IdKcb8lFI8p3i/23:46
golinuxThere's a pad for sysvinit?23:46
Centurion_Danparazyd: pad in /topic??23:49
golinuxYeah, that was my question too23:49
Centurion_Dangolinux:   channel topic - a bikeshed for discussing ideas23:50
golinuxThe post-ascii bikeshed?  No pad specifically  for the sysvinit thing?23:53
golinuxI just posted tomorrow's pad a few lines up.  Please put something in there.23:53
