libera/#devuan-dev/ Thursday, 2018-07-12

onefangSometime during the next week, I'll be upgrading my server to Devuan ASCII.  This will mean my Devuan mirror will be down for several hours at some point.  Exact timing not known yet.10:24
KatolaZonefang: please let me know in advance10:27
KatolaZwhich one is it?10:27
onefangSledjHamr.org10:27
onefangMy server company gave me an entire 500 GB temporary disk to use for the migration, so I should be able to keep mirror downtime to the bare minimum.  Reboot + minor fixups, hopefully.10:30
onefangOddly enough it's the exact same temporary disk they gave me a couple of years ago, when I migrated from Ubuntu to Debian.  lol10:31
KatolaZoh ok10:31
KatolaZit's currently out of the RR10:32
KatolaZthe reason is that you refuse simlinks10:32
KatolaZI had to contact you and another mirror admin with the same problem10:32
KatolaZin particular, there is an issue with ceres there10:32
onefangAfter the migration to Devuan, I'll fix that.10:32
KatolaZok10:32
KatolaZgreat10:32
KatolaZthen just please let me know when you are done10:33
KatolaZand I will re-add the mirror to the RR10:33
KatolaZthanks a lot!10:33
onefangYou are welcome.10:33
onefangI've been planning this since last year, and testing the migration since ASCII was released.  My main desktop is migrated already.10:34
KatolaZascii is all right onefang10:34
onefangSo if I've done my homework correctly, should be no surprises.  B-)10:35
KatolaZall the Devuan infra has been on ascii since last year10:35
onefangI like to be conservative with my server, so was waiting for the actual ASCII release.10:36
KatolaZyeah onefang10:36
KatolaZtotally understandable10:36
KatolaZjust most of the problems with ascii before the beta were on the desktop side10:37
onefangI noticed, and part of me being conservative is I run the exact same OS and stuff on my main desktop, testing out any big changes here first.  So desktop side had to be good before I started.10:38
KatolaZ:)10:38
onefangMy only major remaining desktop problem is that Debian, in their wisdom, decided to strip out all support for JPEG 2000, which is important to me.  B-(10:41
onefangOnly ImagaMagick still supports it.10:41
onefangSledjHamr's main job is to be an OpenSim server.  OpenSim is the open source implementation of a Second Life server, both use JPEG 2000 is the internal graphics format.10:51
onefangAs you can imagine, simulating a 3D world means lots and lots of textures.  I have about 50 GB's worth, and only ImageMagick to view them with.10:51
