gnu_srsLeePen: I will, give me some time though. Do I need to create a new branch and push to it?00:11
LeePengnu_srs: Yes. Just fork it from suites/unstable. New version number (maybe 3.2.9-7~beowulf1) in changelog with beowulf as the distribution.11:23
LeePenMaybe you would also promote yourself to Maintainer (as you really are!)?11:24
LeePenThanks11:24
plasma41Is the devuan-baseconf package still used? If not, can we drop it from beowulf and later?22:21
fsmithredI think it's no longer used. Pretty sure I'm the last one who touched that on gdo.22:22
fsmithredplasma41, did it get installed somewhere?22:25
plasma41I still have it installed from ASCII. It was marked as manually installed, so it was never autoremoved. AFAICT, nothing in Beowulf depends on it.22:27
fsmithredyeah, I thought we purged all the connections to it22:27
fsmithredit's not in the live isos22:27
fsmithredtherefore it shouldn't get installed with a default desktop install22:28
plasma41I was running debfoster yesterday and discovered devuan-baseconf was still installed.22:28
fsmithreddo you also have a /data directory?22:29
fsmithredI think it was /data/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/05...22:30
plasma41Oddly no. I saw that there is such a directory in the filepath for one of the files supposedly in the package, but I don't have that directory, despite the package being installed.22:31
LeePenWe can't remove it from the repos.22:32
plasma41LeePen: Oh?22:32
LeePenWe tried, but it is a hardcoded dependency in old versions22:33
LeePenof debootstrap ( ascii and earlier, I think)22:33
LeePenand breaks them22:33
plasma41But can we at least remove it from the repos for Beowulf and later?22:34
LeePenNo because you can use the ascii debootstrap to build at beowulf or later chroot.22:35
LeePenRemoving from the repos breaks that.22:35
LeePenbbiab22:36
plasma41So we're stuck keeping devuan-baseconf in every future release for time immemorial?22:40
fsmithredjust for as long as the old versions of debootstrap are still around22:55
LeePenplasma41: you should be able to remove it if it bothers you.23:32
