| 08:55 mt | the alignment stuff is experimental only |

| Action: mt wonders whether mikap ever sleeps ... |
| 09:09 mikap | h01ger: i'm on it, doesn't seem to be a direct remove but due to the divert other packages don't install a symlink and therefore no policy-rc.d is there when using update-alternatives, so no real data loss but just a regression |

| 11:27 mikap | mt: svn r6244 works around my LVM issue too, right? |
| 11:33 mt | mikap, sorry |
| 11:33 mt | back now |
| 11:33 mikap | would be great if i get feedback on "Subject: Stable release 3.4.6~rc1 (was: Re: The 3.4.6 wishlist)", mt + Mrfai |
| 11:33 mikap | mt: no need for excuse :) wb! |
| 11:35 mt | mikap, did you send this to the list just moments ago? |
| 11:35 mt | haven't got anything in my mailbox |
| 11:35 mikap | jepp, to fai-devel |
| 11:35 mikap | already received it on my own :) |
| 11:35 mikap | i can bounce it to you if you want |
| 11:36 mt | no, should be fine |
| 11:38 mt | mikap, yes, r6244 also works around your issue |
| 11:38 mikap | mt: great! |
| 11:39 mt | but the changelog should be tweaked a bit |
| 11:39 mt | 4ff0276 |
| 11:39 mikap | should be no problem |
| 11:39 mt | seems like my message was longer than one line |
| 11:39 mikap | ah, as .... |
| 11:40 mt | there must be a second (relevant) line in the log |
| 11:40 mikap | thanks for catching, fixed that |
| 11:40 mt | not sure about 6b2956f |
| 11:40 mikap | same for next entry |
| 11:41 mt | and a7130ae |

| 11:52 mt | btw, mikap, I'm fine with a release of 3.4.6 |
| 11:53 mt | still no mail in my inbox, seems to be hanging somewhere between uni-koeln, debian, and my server |
| 11:59 mikap | mt: ok cool; it's about svn r6231 that i'd like to integrate, Mrfai ACK-ed it |
| 12:03 mikap | http://git.grml.org/?p=fai-stable.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/mika/3.4-dev - ok, there we go |
| 12:03 mikap | so i'd release that: http://paste.grml.org/222/ Mrfai + mt |
| 12:04 mt | fine with me! |
| 12:04 mikap | great |
| 12:13 mikap | mt: Mrfai: my plan -> upload 3.4.6 in those minutes to unstable, mail to fai/fai-devel and give testers a chance to test it until [$DATE_WE_DEFINE] and then i'd ask for another release exception |
| 12:25 mt | you might want to ask right away |
| 12:27 mikap | sure :) |
| 12:27 mt | Mrfai, do you have access to the mail servers running the mailing lists? |
| 12:28 mt | mikap, would you have a message id of https://lists.uni-koeln.de/pipermail/linux-fai-devel/2010q4/001008.html |
| 12:29 mt | still nothing in my inbox even though some test mail to mt@debian.org made it to my inbox |

| 21:52 DavidDreezer | Hi MT, are you there? |
| 21:52 mt | yes :-) |
| 21:52 DavidDreezer | Hi! |
| 21:52 DavidDreezer | I'm about to leave for the holidays I wanted to stop by before I do |
| 21:53 mt | Everything working on your side now? |
| 21:53 DavidDreezer | first, to give you results of 3.4.6 test, and to thank you for all of your help! |
| 21:53 DavidDreezer | it is indeed. |
| 21:53 mt | cool, makes much nicer holidays :-) |
| 21:53 DavidDreezer | I did try the 3.4.6 setup-storage, and got a perl error |
| 21:53 DavidDreezer | Global symbol "$needs_resize" requires explicit package name at /usr/share/fai/setup-storage//Commands.pm line 911. |
| 21:53 mt | !? |
| 21:53 mt | omg |
| 21:53 mt | mikap, still around? |
| 21:54 DavidDreezer | now, this may in fact be cause by my extracting setup storage from 3.4.6 into my 4.0~48 installation |
| 21:54 mt | well, no, looks more like an incomplete/failed merge |
| 21:54 DavidDreezer | i simply did not have time to completely uninstall 4.0 and install a full 3.4.6 |
| 21:54 DavidDreezer | oh, i see |
| 21:55 DavidDreezer | Compilation failed in require at /usr/sbin/setup-storage line 92. |
| 21:55 DavidDreezer | BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/sbin/setup-storage line 92. |
| 21:55 DavidDreezer | unfortuately I will not be able to test further, until after the 1st |
| 21:55 DavidDreezer | but I'm so pleased with the progress that we've made. I expect to go to production with this the first week of Jan |
| 21:56 mt | meanwhile we'll probably do a 3.4.7 :-/ |
| 21:57 DavidDreezer | I wish that I'd had time to do a complete change over to 3.4.6 |
| 21:57 DavidDreezer | that takes me about 4 hours to do, and I simply don't have that today |
| 21:59 mt | hmm, 3.4.5 should be fine, shouldn't be causing such trouble |
| 21:59 DavidDreezer | i hadn't tried 3.4.5 properly. when I tried it last night i had left in the disk align part |
| 22:00 DavidDreezer | so today I noticed there was a 3.4.6 so I tried that instead, with the disk align removed |
| 22:00 mt | oh, no problem, that was more an informational message |
| 22:00 mt | just in case you need something working :-) |
| 22:01 DavidDreezer | i'm quite pleased with 4.0 unless you really don't think I should be using that |
| 22:03 mt | oh, I'm happy to see you using it :-) |
| 22:03 mt | but please be prepared for some kind of breakage |
| 22:04 mt | but I'll of course always try to fix things ASAP |
| 22:06 DavidDreezer | nothing has broken yet, that we didn't know about. I feel confident in it. ANd I'mm content to be ahead of the curve |
| 22:07 mt | what I'm a bit worried about is that version changes of FAI take about 4 hours for you |
| 22:07 mt | what is it that takes so long? |
| 22:08 DavidDreezer | to go from 3.4.x to 4.0 and back? |
| 22:08 mt | yep |
| 22:09 DavidDreezer | I generally back up my configs and then wipe the server and start clean |
| 22:09 DavidDreezer | from 3.4.5 to 3.4.6 i would not do that |
| 22:09 DavidDreezer | nor for a 4.0 build ~45 to ~48 |
| 22:09 DavidDreezer | but from 3 to 4 or back I do |
| 22:10 DavidDreezer | i know that isn't necessary |
| 22:10 DavidDreezer | but I like to make sure it's clean |
| 22:11 mt | ok |
| 22:11 DavidDreezer | our fai server is also our debmirror, and it also has a few other jobs too |
| 22:11 mt | I usually just do rebuilds of the NFSROOT, that should IMHO suffice |
| 22:12 DavidDreezer | strictly speaking I could do that, yes. |
| 22:12 DavidDreezer | It has become almost autonomic for me to just wipe the server and follow my steps |
| 22:14 mt | then stick with it |
| 22:14 mt | there's nothing better than automation |
| 22:14 mt | even if it's just "like automatic" |
| 22:15 DavidDreezer | my brain has become so conditions to just wiping the server and starting over that i'd become almost like breathing. this is why we love fai here. |
| 22:15 DavidDreezer | break a server? so what? just fai it, :) |
| 22:16 DavidDreezer | but our production FAI right now is old, overscripted, running on and installing etch. time for it to go. |
| 22:16 FBI | fai: 3 mt committed revision 6255 to 7 fai: setup-storage/Commands.pm: Rebuild partition table only once, unless necessary |
| 22:16 FBI | fai: for resizing; also fixes perl compilation error. |
