 tar | * normally people us dh-make (dh_make)? | 11:42:23 |
 mooff | builds take ~58m on a single core VPS | 11:42:25 |
| mooff | incremental builds take ~8m | 11:42:37 |
| tar | do you have a .dsc of your source package somewhere? | 11:42:41 |
| mooff | i'm new to the tooling - and did not get it downloading a source package | 11:42:56 |
| mooff | *tarball | 11:43:02 |
| mooff | i just updated the control fields and listed the build dependencies | 11:43:25 |
| tar | i mean your hacked gnome-games debian/ directory, you have run debuild somewhere/somewhen? and that resulted in a debian source package .dsc (orig.tar.* and debian)? | 11:43:51 |
| tar | if you could put that on a webserver or mentors.debian.net i'd love to have a look at it | 11:44:10 |
| mooff | i ran 'dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -nc --build=any` | 11:44:18 |
| mooff | i'll put it up | 11:44:29 |
| tar | or that (the long version of debuild) | 11:44:32 |
| mooff | (ah!) | 11:44:42 |
| mooff | i needed the -nc (never clean) to save 50m while i was iterating | 11:45:22 |
| mooff | i'm running low on space, and on a metered connection for a little while, so working remotely on the VPS i already have | 11:46:09 |
| tar | and i thought in 2020 internet access will be freely available to everyone at no cost :'( | 11:47:17 |
| mooff | i would love to be to make faster incremental builds. that would make it much easier to make ui changes, having to mess around a lot with libhandy and gtk before i get the hang of it | 11:47:41 |
| mooff | it will be soon :) with any luck, with starlink | 11:48:07 |
| tar | get more cores? and memory (if it starts swapping)? zram maybe a thing? eatmydata before debuild? | 11:48:19 |
| tar | wait you're author of the fractal software? or just a user of it that wants a debian package? | 11:49:06 |
| mooff | i'm gonna try zram today. and i'll google eatmydata | 11:49:07 |
| tar | * wait you're author of the fractal software? or just a user of it that wants a debian package? (not that it matters, just being curious) | 11:49:21 |
| mooff | i'm not the author, i am just interested in it | 11:49:24 |
| mooff | i want an alternative to Element, one that uses less system resources so i can leave it running without eating up my ram, or swapping a lot | 11:50:22 |
| tar | i'm in the same boat, and liked the "gomuks" client best so far | 11:51:07 |
| mooff | i tried ~8 iterations to get the messages view to fill the full container width | 11:51:26 |
| mooff | gomuks is nice - i haven't tried to use it as a daily driver yet | 11:52:28 |
| mooff | there are so many dependencies to package for Go and Rust packages! | 11:52:54 |
| tar | will you post a .dsc url? | 11:55:57 |
| tar | about the RFP/ITP posts, they are short for Request For Package, and Intent To Package (so the ITP person claims to be working on packaging already) | 11:56:44 |
