I wanted to upgrade a very old version of ubuntu to recent one so I made the following steps:
1) I created a large (over 30GB) tar.gz archive containing all data from my home directory
2) Moved it to ntfs partition
3) Launched ubuntu (12.04) from cd
4) Resized the ntfs partition during installati...
yes. clean shutdown "should" flush writes, but it might be one of those "my audio driver never lets go so i ALWAYS just kill the power when the screen goes black"
i don't think that one is earning any more rep from views. if it was going to earn, it would have done so during app showdown (which is when it was posted)
@izx my guess is it's a drop in a bucket. i mean think about how many main/universe projects build from recipe. i can't imagine they're on a different build farm. just saying
i think assigning priority queues would be a better design decision, but i don't know which way it is implemented
think "what happens if commercial builds expand faster than non-commercial builds?"...simple priority means you only have one set of hardware/software to manage. or they could do it the other way and use it as touting the advantages of MaaS provisioning... either way is full of win
@izx I've always looked at it the other way around (I have to wait for a number of builds due to inter-package dependencies) but I suppose you're right.
Right now I'm about two levels behind on the Precise builds due to package holdups.
Ahhh I suppose you see the ominous "Dependency wait" a lot more often than us plebs :P
@GeorgeEdison BTW I was only trying to get an idea from your "drop in the bucket" as to how large said bucket was, and perhaps suggesting that Canonical may want to...enlarge...said bucket :)
@GeorgeEdison: is StackApplet supposed to be notifying about rep loss for bounties or downvotes (someone said that was fixed)
you know what might be cool? isn't launchpad FOSS? a vm image that runs LP so you can test more completely than a local build so you NEVER have a build-fail on LP...just a thought
@aking1012 It's my understanding that it's fairly easy to replicate their setup with a slightly-customized pbuilder install (and local apt-mirror helps)
@izx i keep hearing that, but i was more thinking for possible future commercial endeavors for larger development houses. "here's a local launchpad instance to push to locally so you get instant build testing immediately and you don't tie up your dev machines"
@GeorgeEdison you might know the answer to this one off-hand: http://askubuntu.com/questions/180395/what-is-the-correct-way-to-use-g-signal-connect-in-c-for-dynamic-unity-quick
@aking1012 I want to get to at least a 10% bounty ratio eventually...what bugs me is that the 200+ threshold calculation for a day will apparently subtract any bounties offered...
yes. desktop is supposed to be here tuesday, but i went from triple head to single monitor and pulling my video card b/c i could only get the tower shipped
