[04:16] <youlysses> t
[04:57] <scientes> whats with all the orphaned bzr plugins in debian http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/orphaned ?
[04:59] <mgrandi> if youc click on them you'll see that jelmer is requesting an adopter
[04:59] <mgrandi> so they are probably still developed but they need a maintainer that creates debs (thats almost a job in itself) of the latest versions and whatnot
[05:00] <scientes> well why can't whoever is doing the ubuntu work, just pick up debian?
[05:00] <mgrandi> they have different policies =P
[05:01] <mgrandi> and its probably a lot of work
[05:01] <mgrandi> if creating deb files wasn't black magic i might see if i could do it haha
[05:02] <scientes> meh its not that hard
[05:02] <spiv> mgrandi: maybe now's a good time to learn ;)
[05:02] <mgrandi> i can't even find a good guide
[05:02] <mgrandi> ive only seen guides on how to use easyinstall and other helpers
[05:02] <spiv> I'm sure jelmer would be glad to help a willing volunteer
[05:02] <scientes> you just need to write a makefile, and if your package works with automake, its mostly "magic" and done for you
[05:02] <mgrandi> these are python plugins so i dont think they have makefiles
[05:02] <scientes> (same for some other build systems)
[05:03] <mgrandi> makefiles themselves are black magic
[05:03] <scientes> ^^^
[05:04] <mgrandi> id also probably need a debian install haha
[05:06] <scientes> yes you would, but you can use "debootstrap" to do it all in a chroot
[05:06] <scientes> which will run from any distribution
[05:06] <scientes> http://wiki.debian.org/Debootstrap
[05:10] <mgrandi> looks like it would just be easier to shrink a partition then try to run debian ontop of something else
[08:09] <mgz> morning!
[08:23] <jelmer> mgz!
[08:25] <mgz> !
[08:36] <vila> jelmer, mgz: hey
[09:10] <gour> morning all
[09:24] <gour> fast-export/import from fossil --> git fails...otoh, fossil --> git works as 'fossil export --git ../repo.fossil | git fast-import' withing git repo...is it possible to use bzr's fast-import via fossil's pipe so that we can convert our fossil repos straight into bzr?
[09:25] <jelmer> gour: s/git/bzr/ for the first occurance of git?
[09:25] <jelmer> I think there were some known issues with the fossil fastexporter, it removed all files for each revision or something along those lines
[09:27] <gour> for now, fossil does export --git only
[09:28] <jelmer> gour: It's worth a shot to try --git and feed that output into bzr fastimport
[09:29] <jelmer> I vaguely recall there were issues with fossil fastexport output format though
[09:29] <jelmer> or maybe that was Monotone?
[09:30] <gour> jelmer: i'm trying that, but no idea how to feed that output into bzr fastimport...fossil export --git task.fossil | bzr fast-import neither fossil export --git task.fossil | bzr fast-import task.bzr works
[09:32] <gour> i sent a post to fossil list but the attachement exceeds 40k quota there :-(
[09:34] <jelmer> gour: you might want to try generating an intermediate file with the fastimport data
[09:34] <jelmer> gour: 'bzr fast-import' takes two arguments: the filename of the fastimport stream to read and the branch to import to
[09:36] <gour> jelmer: it crashes with the same mark as git import
[09:37] <gour> jelmer: http://pastebin.com/9wsUWgeF
[09:38] <gour> jelmer: i can email you *.fi file
[09:38] <gour> git import fails with "fast-import fatal: mark :711 not declared"
[09:39] <jelmer> if git fails too, I would put the blame on fossil
[09:39] <jelmer> gour: there's not much I can do with that, I'm not a fossil contributor :)
[09:39] <gour> right...the problem is that i could not post *.fi file there...
[09:39] <gour> ok
[09:40] * gour just wants to import repos from fossil to bzr...
[10:17] <gour> there is no addremove in bzr to add all unversioned files and rm all missing ones?
[10:19] <jelmer> gour: "bzr add" without arguments will add all unversioned files
[10:19] <jelmer> and bzr commit will automatically remove files that were rmeoved
[10:20] <gour> thank you
[13:42] <WasserDragoon> hi how to get the release code from version 3.1 from https://launchpad.net/egtk
[13:43] <WasserDragoon> there are no tags and i don't want to look into the .tar.gz download always whats the last revision (in .bzr folder)
[13:48] <mgz> WasserDragoon: surely that's a question for the maintainers of that project rather than bzr
[13:49] <WasserDragoon> mgz: i don't have a good connection to these guys ;-)
[13:51] <mgz> neither do I, but the launchpad page makes it clear enough who to ask
[13:51] <mgz> try email or irc given on https://launchpad.net/~danrabbit
[13:53] <mgz> just guessing from log/release timestamps, you probably want r491
[14:00] <WasserDragoon> mgz: right but i don't want to look in all next releases what the last revision was
[14:00] <WasserDragoon> but i will send a mail to danrabbit
[14:02] <mgz> you can suggest `bzr tag -r491 egtk-3.1.0` to him
[14:10] <WasserDragoon> mgz: to late i already sent the mail but thanks i'll do that in the next mail ;-)
[17:44] <Mook_as> hmm, I guess starting with bzr 2.4, `bzr revert dir/file` also tried to revert the containing directory if there are no other changes in that directory? (steps to reproduce in http://pastebin.com/5Awyr8Bg )
