@jimmij Anyone can edit anything any time.

3 to go on the vim thing, assuming 200.

@FaheemMitha don't worry, you will have to wait at least a week

if you hit 100% right now, it'll still be next week launch at earliest (barring anything like holidays, snowpocalypses, etc on our end)

@Braiam Well, I don't use Vim, so I don't care.

@Braiam @FaheemMitha it is not about editing, the point is why there was a silence for 6 months (or even 2 years in second case) and today suddenly it appeared in review queue. Either there is some strange review algorithm or it was human intervention.

@jimmij you mean the edit in question was not made recently?

1:31 AM

@FaheemMitha Did you looked at that posts dates?

2:06 AM

@jimmij I'm not sure which post you mean. Regardless, if it is an old edit that ended up in the review queue just now, I agree that is odd. You could file a bug report - I suppose that would be a post on Meta.

@FaheemMitha the quality score is generated each time a post is edited, so it's expected

1 to go...

2:51 AM

@FaheemMitha @Braiam I really don't understand what "edit" are you talking about all the time. What was edited, who did that, and when?

@jimmij I'm not talking about edits...

@jimmij forget about the age, are they good post "right now"?

Penalty for being a problem child: having kids of your own. Penalty for being a thorn in the side of moderators: becoming a moderator.

@jimmij I think there was some miscommunication. Never mind.

Q: how to write rules file to build /package_name/abc/xyz/Project for debian creation

1:07 PM

This looks like a clear VTC.

how do i create a package for the directory which has some text files and in some directory i have libtool project. I want to create debian for the package which tests libtool project builds successfully or not

See my comment.

"I want to create debian for the package which tests" wut?

@Braiam I've no idea what kind of helps he expects.

4:42 PM

so yeah, patch your systems yet again

5:28 PM

@Braiam Yeah! Another fun day of patching!

Upstream patch at sourceware.org/git/… according to the RedHat bugzilla... except that server has died :-(

anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/… has it

Now to go build a Sarge VM. This is going to be fun.

5:51 PM

And naturally sarge does not have virtio drivers. Unsurprising.

"Compiling the GNU C library yourself requires a lot of resources. For
a complete build using dpkg-buildpackage you need at least 750MB free
disk space and at least 16MB of RAM and 32MB of swap space (if you
have only that much you're better off not running X at the same
time)." ... wow

3 hours later…

10:08 PM

Yeah! It built. Tests passed. I now have a fixed libc6 for sarge.

UGH. Built it for the wrong release :-(

(forgot to change 'stable' in the changelog...)

unix.stackexchange.com/a/181242/80886 quite often I have a hard time to understand this user's answers. Sometimes I even cannot understand if answers are valid but written in horrible english grammar or completely off-topic.

Yeah, Gilles just commented there, so it is not only me, I feel better.

@jimmij I voted to delete that one. An incomprehensible post like this is useless.

when his posts are wrong (as opposed to gobbledygook), I don't bother commenting. He doesn't seem to understand English any more than Unix.

His persistence is admirable, but he could find more productive uses for it
