| # 15:05:58 | realtime-neil | When and how does one override the 'maintainer/git-version-gen' behavior to inject a desired and given version string? Asking because I'm curious how the '.tarball-version' file is (ab)used. |
| # 16:43:56 | realtime-neil | Welp, looks like 'echo $VANITY_VERSION >.tarball-version && ./bootstrap' did the trick. |
| # 16:45:14 | realtime-neil | Possibly related: what's up with https://launchpad.net/crosstool-ng ? |
| # 16:49:53 | milkylainen | realtime-neil: michael hope created a launchpad for crosstool-ng in 2011 and never bothered to do anything more with it? |
| # 16:53:43 | milkylainen | I think the github issues page is probably what is closest to that? |
| # 17:06:20 | realtime-neil | milkylainen: hm, okay. You're saying that the launchpad now serves (or did serve) the same purpose as the current github issues page? |
| # 17:07:00 | realtime-neil | I see the automated syncs and automated builds stopped 2011-10-10. |
| # 17:34:48 | milkylainen | I'm saying, that if you're looking to report bugs, there is an issues page on github. :) |
| # 18:29:42 | realtime-neil | Ah, understood. I'm not sure if the lack of active debian package builds is actually a bug. |
| # 19:16:48 | milkylainen | realtime-neil: This might be completely wrong, but it feels very much out of scope for ct-ng to maintain distro packaging. If that is what you meant? |
| # 19:18:05 | milkylainen | It's just an endless combination game. |
| # 19:27:22 | cpackham | joins #crosstool-ng |
| # 19:29:51 | cpackham | I did at one time try to get ct-ng packaged for debian but I found the process really hard and even after I figured out how to make sense of various conflicting online resoures to produce a working .deb file I never got far with actually getting it submitted |
| # 19:33:47 | cpackham | I can't even find the debian issue that was raised for it |
| # 20:19:04 | realtime-neil | milkylainen: I think you're spot on. I'm not saying that ct-ng maintainers have to maintain _any_ packaging, least of all Debian packaging. I was just wondering about the state of affairs. |
| # 20:21:09 | realtime-neil | cpackham: that's a fair point. I made a thing ( https://salsa.debian.org/therealneil/crosstool-ng ) but only because I wanted one for myself. |
| # 20:25:20 | realtime-neil | At any rate, if native Debian packaging is a non-goal for ct-ng, then https://github.com/crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng/tree/master/debian can be completely deleted from source control. |
