[13:28] <mnemoc> th: i vote for updating openldap on stable too, but i dislike the idea of updating kde because the update is not clean.
[13:29] <daja77> hm?
[13:30] <mnemoc> i have a weird concept of stable tree, you don't need to consider my thoughts
[13:31] <blindcoder> guess everyone's got their own thoughts there
[13:31] <mnemoc> :)
[13:33] <daja77> you use no X anyway right?
[13:34] <mnemoc> my machines with rock-2.0 not have X, true
[13:35] <mnemoc> it does't affect me directly, but that update goes against my conception of 'stable tree' of a distribution
[13:36] <blindcoder> what do we have now? 3.2?
[13:37] <daja77> mnemoc: kde 3.2.3 is as stable as 3.3, i can see no big difference, just that some nasty bugs were remived in 3.3
[13:39] <mnemoc> i'm worried about the updating on a running machine
[13:42] <th> mnemoc: we provide no real update mechanism in 2.0-stable 
[13:42] <mnemoc> is that a reason to break compatibility?
[13:44] <mnemoc> imo, if you are ready to provide an stable and updated plataform using newer technologies, release 2.1, but don't hurt 2.0.
[13:48] <daja77> one stable with newer versions would perhaps help some ppl who don't want to have dev versions
[13:53] <th> mnemoc: i would not propose the kde update if we would have shorter release cycles.

[14:08] <yesterday> stdin: is not a tty
[14:08] <yesterday> something is wrong with udev

[14:08] <yesterday> ssh login without udev work fine
[14:08] <th> "< yesterday> but I can remote login via SSH"
[14:09] <th> so remote login is fine too.
[14:09] <yesterday> no
[14:09] <yesterday> I can't remote login to my box with udev mounted
[14:09] <th> so there are obviously some devices missing.

[14:09] <yesterday> yes
[14:10] <yesterday> ok
[14:10] <yesterday> I try

[14:16] <yesterday> is very confuse
[14:16] <yesterday> nothing about opening a device
[14:17] <th> did you give -f?
[14:17] <th> you should propably restart sshd like "strace -f sshd"
[14:22] <mnemoc> th: i'm completly agree about the 'release cycle', but that doesn't justify breaking the current stable. branch 2.0-stable into 2.1-stable and merge all the stable things from trunk :)
[14:23] <th> mnemoc: i dont really see where kde bump to 3.3.2 is "breaking"
[14:24] <th> mnemoc: which does not mean i dont understand you opinion.
[14:24] <mnemoc> th: afaik the abi changed so updating a package will make the desktop unusable
[14:24] <th> ah. ok.
[14:25] <mnemoc> that's what i mean by 'clean updates'
[14:25] <mnemoc> choose a random package, update it and every continue working
[14:25] <yesterday> th, ok
[14:26] <th> mnemoc: hmmm. that wont work in many cases if going from 2.0.x to 2.0.y
[14:26] <th> mnemoc: but 2.1-stable isn't a good a idea for a branch i think
[14:27] <mnemoc> btw, i see trunk as a 3.x due to the big and deep changes on it
[14:27] <th> mnemoc: so i could branch a 2.2 from 2.0
[14:28] <th> which would complete all versioning confusion
[14:28] <blindcoder> that's quite probable what will happen, but unstable is currently marked as 2.1
[14:28] <mnemoc> th: ah, you mean odd/even
