libera/#devuan-dev/ Friday, 2020-01-03

onefangFrom the meeting notes - '(rrq) follow up about where/how "deb.roundr.devuan.org" is resolved.'  What's the question?04:11
onefangI use dig on deb.devuan.org, deb.roundr.devuan.org pops up as a CNAME, which then resolves to the IPs when I dig that.04:12
onefangThe CNAME stuff is described on the web page.  Do I need to add another entry to explanations.html?04:13
fsmithredI think the question was about the location of the server in control of this.04:15
onefangSo that covers "how", "where" is line 173 of apt-panopticon.lua.04:15
onefangYou meant the server that controls the DNS entries?04:15
onefangI have no idea.04:16
fsmithredjaromil would know04:36
golinuxEvilham probably does also04:39
rrqonefang: yes, we have moved DNS for devuan.org to Devuan's infrastructure, but deb.roundr.devuan.org points to the old host, which provides the round-robin resolution to the mirrors.05:05
rrqsomeone, you and/or Evilham, are able to modify that resolution05:05
onefangI have no keys to that, so that might be Evilham.05:06
rrqI probably have been told about how/where at some time, and now that knowledge has left the building.. needs arefresh, and possibly that we move that function ont Devuan's infrastructure as well.05:06
onefangSounds like a good idea to me.05:07
onefangThe only keys I have are the one you gave me with that account on pkgmaster.  So basically I can edit https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/mirror_list.txt, and not much else.05:07
rrqhmm maybe there's a "bot" somehere making good use of your efforts...05:08
onefangWhat do you mean?05:09
rrqI was thinking upside down I guess :)05:10
onefangActually I meant I can edit the file that is used to generate https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/mirror_list.txt, and that file is also used to generate other things, though I don't think it is used to generate the DNS-RR IPs.05:10
rrqright; I though it might be for the RR...05:11
rrqso you can't "disable" a mirror then?05:12
onefangIf you meant there should be a "bot" that does things like "mirror.devuan.de has been offline for two months' we should remove it", I think we need to establish some policy, and I' dagree.05:12
onefangI can remove a mirror from that list, but not from the RR.05:12
onefangAt least I THINK that list has nothing to do with what goes in the RR.05:14
fsmithredanyone in here know or use kali? Or the tools that it contains?17:01
fsmithredSomeone in #devuan pointed me to a python script that installs all the kali apps.17:02
fsmithredand, um, I've created a monster17:02
fsmithredkalified-frankenfracta17:02
fsmithredany use for such a thing, or should I kill it before it spreads?17:03
gnu_srsLeePen: I've now updated eudev to 3.2.9-1 for unstable. Can I push?17:29
LeePenYes, if you are happy with it. We will build it for unstable initially.17:30
gnu_srsAnother issue regarding upgrading to Beowulf xfce+slim: shutdown and reboot are greyed out.17:30
gnu_srs(not related to eudev)17:31
LeePenYou must be missing something in the policykit elogind/consolekit stack.17:31
LeePenDid you have to start slim manually from the command line?17:32
gnu_srsNo17:32
LeePenelogind or consolekit?17:32
gnu_srs slim  1.3.6-5.1+devuan5, gir1.2-polkit-1.0, libpolkit-agent-1-0, libpolkit-gobject-1-0, libpolkit-gobject-consolekit-1-0: 0.105-25+devuan817:34
gnu_srsno policykit17:35
LeePenSo you need policykit-1 and either consolekit or libpam-elogind17:35
fsmithredand maybe policykit-1-gnome17:38
fsmithredlibpolkit-backend-consolekit-1-017:39
gnu_srsI installed: libpolkit-backend-1-0 libpolkit-backend-consolekit-1-0 policykit-1 policykit-1-gnome, consolekit was already there: It works :)17:40
LeePenGreat.17:40
fsmithredit gets really tricky if you try to install multiple desktop environments17:40
gnu_srsStrange though that the upgrade from ascii to beowulf did not work :(17:41
fsmithredwhere did it go wrong?17:41
gnu_srsThe packages mentioned above was not installed with the upgrade.17:42
LeePenAs far as I know, xfce4 will use either consolekit or elogind.17:42
LeePenHowever, most other DE only work with elogind. So if you want to have several installed you will need to use elogind for them all (including xfce).17:42
fsmithredok, that's better than it used to be17:43
LeePenGood!17:43
fsmithredI think mate and xfce wanted consolekit and the others wanted elogind. Not sure.17:43
LeePenAnd both slim and lightdm will use either consolekit or elogind.17:43
fsmithredcool17:43
LeePenSo it is reasonably flexible now.17:44
fsmithredI use xfce with elogind and it works fine17:44
LeePengnu_srs: have you task-xfce-desktop installed?17:44
LeePenI hope that would have pulled in all the correct dependencies.17:44
gnu_srsI have task-desktop not task-xfce-desktop17:46
gnu_srsSorry, I do also have task-xfce-desktop installed.17:47
LeePenThe latest version? 3.54+devuan1.17:48
gnu_srsYes17:49
gnu_srsI've now pushed eudev to unstable.17:50
gnu_srsAnd doing that I was told to:  To create a merge request for suites/unstable, visit: ...17:50
gnu_srsAnd: You don't have the permission to access this page.17:51
LeePenI will need to check the tasksel dependencies again then.17:53
gnu_srs"cowbuilder   create   --distribution  unstable" failed with missing packages but "cowbuilder   create   --distribution  beowulf" worked17:55
LeePenSometimes I get that if there is a mirror update in progress. Usually it works when you try again after a bit.18:04
gnu_srsCreating a merge request fail though: Please contact your GitLab administrator to get the permission.18:08
LeePenI can probably merge it.18:09
LeePengnu_srs: Before I do, could you review the bugs at https://bugs.devuan.org/db/pa/leudev.html and see if any can be fixed?18:13
gnu_srsI'll take a look. CenturionDan also had some problem?18:36
LeePenI am looking at the bug reports that mention beowulf.19:04
LeePenPicked up #358 and have forked sshguard.19:05
golinuxJust found KatolaZ' release outline for ASCII.  Too bad we didn't remember that existed when we released 2.1.19:05
golinuxhttps://pad.dyne.org/code/#/1/edit/YBwTUt5ApelHENSw8G8O4A/kqYH0sUQU+TvGIRi9hVeHcsF/19:05
golinuxAnyway let's set up a similar pad for beowulf.  I also remember that KatolaZ made  a list of bugs from bugs.d.o that needed to be fixed before the release but have managed to find it yet.  I'll keep digging . . .19:08
LeePenThat would be good. I am just searching through the complete list.19:10
LeePenSome are already fixed.19:11
gnu_srsHow do I close a bug?19:15
fsmithredemail to <bug#>-close@bugs.devuan.org19:16
fsmithredI think you need to have the word, close in the body. Looks like that's what I've been doing.19:19
LeePenOr really and explanation of how it is fixed is more useful.19:19
gnu_srsBut that won't be possible until the package is built and available??19:19
fsmithredyeah, I do that sometimes, too19:20
gnu_srsDo you mean debian/changelog, as for Debian?19:20
LeePenI put the Closes: #NNN in the changelog just like Debian.19:22
LeePenHowever, the bug has to be manually closed by email ^^^^19:22
LeePenIt doesn't get closed automatically like in debian with an upload.19:23
golinuxHere's another pad from KatolaZ that might be useful: https://pad.dyne.org/code/#/1/edit/aEXydBHk28Tormi6Vhyazg/EexaicIbGCz5Hj5+HPl4ZjNb/19:46
golinuxIt's a to-do list for beowulf19:46
LeePenThanks19:48
golinuxI think Evilham might take a look at bugs.d.o to make sure we don't miss anything19:52
* Evilham needs a clone army19:52
golinuxEvilham: Maybe someone else will beat you to it.19:53
golinux"might" is conditional so no pressure.19:54
* golinux would love to have some Evilham clones in the workshop19:55
