[02:34] <Linux000> Does anyone know how to set the path that quilt uses to store patches?
[02:36] <persia> export QUILT_PATCHES=
[02:36] <persia> /usr/share/doc/quilt/README.source has a handy snippet that tends to do the right things for debian packaging
[02:37] <Linux000> persia: Thanks
[02:46] <Linux000> Am I missing the reason quilt doesn't want to add debian/ files to the patch?
[02:46] <persia> It's not done that way.
[02:46] <persia> If you're working on files in debian/ *don't* do it as a quilt patch (or with any other patch system). Just edit them.
[02:47] <Linux000> Understood
[02:47] <persia> The reasoning being something like "The packaging shouldn't be patched at build-time: just do it right, and let the archive track the revisions".
[02:48] <persia> The other reasoning being "This stuff is patches to the upsteam code that upsteam may want to adopt, so we'll put it in a separate folder to ease management".
[14:32] <jimbo2150> Hi I found a bug, but cannot figure out how to report it.
[14:37] <jimbo2150> Anyone able to help?
[14:37] <mrand> jimbo2150: feel free to describe the situation around the bug (especially which program it occurs in) and someone will hopefully be able to help you.
[14:37] <mrand> Weekends tend to be very slow around here.
[14:38] <jimbo2150> I turned off the computer incorrectly and when I booted it back up it started a disk check. It said press 'C' to cancel and I did but nothing happened. Pressing ESC does cancel it though. I am using lucid RC.

[14:42] <mrand> jimbo2150: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/561228 appears to describe it, but strangely the bug it is dup'ed against is listed as fixed
[14:42] <ubot4> Launchpad bug 561228 in plymouth (Ubuntu) "Cannot cancel automatic fsck during boot (dup-of: 554737)" [Undecided,New]
[14:42] <ubot4> Launchpad bug 554737 in plymouth (Ubuntu Lucid) (and 2 other projects) "ply_boot_client_flush() does not read replies (plymouth stuck during/after filesystem check or error) (affects: 114) (dups: 9) (heat: 614)" [High,Fix released]
[14:44] <bramming9x> is it allowed to discuss lucid bugs here?
[14:44] <mrand> jimbo2150: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/562811 is related as well. Looks like there might be more than one semi-interrelated problem here. Long story short, it looks like it is being looked into.
[14:44] <ubot4> Launchpad bug 562811 in plymouth (Ubuntu Lucid) (and 3 other projects) "[Lucid] fsck cannot be cancelled in Plymouth (affects: 11) (dups: 1) (heat: 64)" [High,Fix committed]
[14:45] <jimbo2150> That first one is pretty close, but I did not have to hit CTRL+C. ESC canceled it and Ubuntu continued booting.
[14:46] <jimbo2150> The second one is somewhat close, but ESC did work for me.
[14:47] <mrand> jimbo2150: you might look around the other plymouth bugs and whichever one is closest, clicks "affects me too". Thanks for taking an interest in reporting!
[14:47] <jimbo2150> Ok thanks mrand!
[14:47] <mrand> bramming9x: Kinda depends. We try to discuss bug _reporting_ (and triaging) here rather than the bugs themselves. Debugging is usually on #ubuntu+1
[14:49] <bramming9x> mrand okay thanks :) will try that ;)
