LeePenHmmm, see #730.11:43
LeePenDoes anybody who uses src:lvm2 more than me want to fork it?11:44
bb|hcbLeePen: I can prepare a fork of lvm for review, but I doubt that I can fix all the pending bugs in Debian, most probably can only keep it in sync with the package there....12:21
LeePenbb|hcb: I have just started it now.12:22
LeePenI'll get you to review in a bit.12:22
JackFrostLeePen: In Debian, have you considered gifting pidof to procps?  Seems that has more active development upstream and there's corner cases it handles better.12:25
bb|hcbLeePen: sure12:35
LeePenbb|hcb: Hmmm, it uses weird source/format: 3.0 (gitarchive)12:49
LeePengbp fails to build the orig tarball.12:50
LeePenbb|hcb: I have just pushed to https://git.devuan.org/LeePen/lvm2 if you want to join in.12:54
rrqhttps://bblank.thinkmo.de/introducing-dpkg-format-gitarchive.html12:57
LeePenYes, and his lvm2 package is the only thing using it!12:58
LeePenI don't think it is compatible with gbp.12:58
rrqI'm not sure git.devuan.org supports lfs12:59
LeePenNo.12:59
LeePenIt is going to be hideous to maintain if we have to manually convert to 3.0 (quilt).13:06
rrqyes. so how do we enable lfs and keep a lid on it?13:07
LeePenI wouldn't even worry about that yet.13:10
LeePenIf we can't find a way of using the source format with gbp, we won't even get that far.13:11
rrqoh I missed that one;13:12
LeePenI am prefering getting Debian to restore the initscripts even more.13:12
LeePenValentin has just submitted #102644313:13
LeePenFingers crossed.13:13
bb|hcbThe link above says that there is a tool that does that conversion; anyways lets see what happens. And if it does not happen, I will take it14:28
rrqI've experimented a little and got building going ... but let's wait and see14:59
LeePenSo have I. I normally use gbp --git-export-dir and that breaks it. Building OK without.15:52
LeePenI don't think it will work with the current build-pipeline Jenkinsfile though.15:59
LeePenI have a local binary build of src:lvm2 working without systemd, if we need it.17:19
LeePenAlthough  in #1026443, waldi seems to suggest that udev is enough and the initscripts are not required.17:20
LeePenLet's see...17:20
bb|hcbTo be precise lvm2 is usable even without udev itself; I have no idea about the function/improvement that running the daemon can bring, though17:41
LeePenI know folk have asked (reasonably) for lvm without libsystemd0 in the past, for the same reasons we remove it from apt.17:43
