Re: [tei-council] making teideb repository

because your not SR

Gawd. Time to resign from being editor of the Journal. On 15-09-24 09:14 AM, Martin Holmes wrote:

Does it fail because it wants a password you don't have, or because your not SR and so you don't have access to his keys? Did you su rahtz?

If we decide to take over building of the packages and move them, there's stuff that has to be done that I don't actually understand. Existing users, who are subscribed to the repo on the Oxford server, will need to remove that repo from their sources and substitute another one. I don't know how (assuming there is a way) to make that requirement known to package users, other than crude things like making the existing repository disappear so that they get errors when they do apt-get update and go off looking for answers. There's some research and learning to do here, so I think we need a little workgroup.

Meanwhile, I've asked a simple question on the TEI-L list. If it turns out no-one is using the packages at all, then we might consider abandoning them.

Cheers, Martin

As Martin predicted if I go into the teideb directory and 'make go' (which runs the apt-ftparchive, gzips the packages and signs them), it fails on the signing process. Martin was composing a list of questions to ask him... so this might be one of them if we wish to continue to release debian packages. (Or we figure it out enough to set up a new package repository, preferrably on www.tei-c.org rather than an Oxford machine.)
