00:13:51 tbowden: Can the java in sid be used as a base? * scratches head * Is it there yet, or still non free?
00:16:51 wildintellect: I think it's still non free in some way
00:17:25 mleslie: Hmm. I think that's right. Well, free but not free enough.
00:17:35 tbowden: bugger, that makes it a pia
00:17:47 mleslie: It's available in the non-non-free repos. But not the supported repos.
00:18:00 wildintellect: I thought at some point it was going FOSS but that hasn't happened yet
00:18:07 tbowden: ok, if it's in there then maybe use them anyway?
00:18:26 tbowden: btw, slurping that iso goodness now
00:18:34 mleslie: Sweet.
00:18:58 mleslie: Hopefully you're faster than we were. I'm glad this stage is over just for the bloody uploads.
00:20:46 tbowden: No, I'm slow as heck. may have to wget -c when I get there for the last of it
00:22:24 tbowden: I've got a server in a data centre that's slurping it and will only take < 1hr.
00:23:24 tbowden: just wondering, how well does rsync work for binary files- maybe I can update the old version to the new by letting rsync diff it?
00:23:48 tbowden: not worried about that before. Just let rsync do its thing
00:36:13 tbowden: just read up on rsync, and it looks like that might be the most bandwidth effective way to update the old version to the new. Only binary diff's will be downloaded.
01:58:21 ominoverde: mleslie: ping, I just logged in, guess it's too late to contribute
02:15:25 tbowden: ominoverde: just downloading the final version for burning now
02:16:21 ominoverde: tbowden: ok, no problem. why the name is still Alpha?
02:20:01 tbowden: Good question. No idea
02:20:23 tbowden: maybe because the quality is still considered alpha? ;- )
02:20:50 tbowden: we'll know within the week anyway
02:24:58 darkblue_B: hmm I just got a 503 response at download.osgeo.org/livedvd/
02:26:25 tbowden: Interesting. wgeting it now
02:29:16 darkblue_B: I as well.. but it took a couple tries to get the html page
02:34:40 tbowden: 503: service unavailable. maybe too many trying to slurp the goodness.
04:47:28 crschmidt: 503 is usually 'too many people from your IP accessing this at once'
04:47:37 crschmidt: it's supposed to allow 3 active connectios, but not more
