- Vũ Đỗ Quỳnh - tested Hardy upgrade from Gutsy + HanoiLUG
- Lê Quốc Thái - tested Hardy Xubuntu upgrade on his own laptop (wow! what a sacrifice for our comunity
) - Jean Christophe André - checked the contrib section, updated some HanoiLUG packages (changed the maintainer email address to our list by the way)
- Ngô Huy Hoàng - checked the import section, downloaded new version of softwares and check for Realmedia integration (do we still need Realplayer? this one still have to be checked, if so we would have to find a package or create some)
- Nguyễn Đình Trung - did his first Debian packaging (in the quick’n’dirty way) to let the OOo help Vietnamese translation being easily installable for Ubuntu from the HanoiLUG repository! bravo!
Upgrading HanoiLUG Gutsy packages for Hardy
- install a Hardy development environment
- install debootstrap package from hardy (the hardy version is required to get Hardy scripts for debootstrap)
sudo aptitude install debootstrap_1.0.8_all.deb
- use debootstrap to create a Hardy devel environment
rm -fr /tmp/hardy-develdebootstrap –arch=i386 hardy /tmp/hardy-devel http://kr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
- enter the Hardy devel environment :
for dir in /dev /sys /proc ; do mount –bind $dir /tmp/hardy-devel$dir ; donechroot /tmp/hardy-devel
- add some more development packages
aptitude install build-essential devscripts fakeroot patch dh-make lintian manpages-dev
- get the Gutsy HanoiLUG packages in this environment
mkdir /tmp/hanoilug ; cd /tmp/hanoilugwget -m -np http://apt.hanoilug.org/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/
- rebuild them all
- but since them don’t have sources (ahem... in our TODO list) just extract and recreate them, using dpkg-deb:
dpkg-deb -x some-package.deb /tmp/some-packagedpkg-deb -e some-package.deb /tmp/some-package/DEBIANvi /tmp/some-package/DEBIAN/*dpkg-deb -b /tmp/some-package .
- put the new packages online in some Hardy repository
- try them
Work still to be done
- check how to manage restricted formats now on Hardy
- I have two hardy installs (Intel and AMD64) and frankly all I needed to do was to use the standard ubuntu-restricted package and the medibuntu libdvdcss2 package (to play encrypted dvd) that’s all. I have yet to see a media format I can’t play David
