xchat-xsys displays wrong distro

[freddy3980]

Binary package hint: xchat-xsys

I'm using Ubuntu hardy RC version and this is what comes out in xchat:

os[Linux 2.6.24-16-generic i686] distro[Debian lenny/sid] cpu[2 x Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6700 @ 2.66GHz (GenuineIntel) @ 2.67GHz] mem[Physical: 2.0GB, 85.1% free] disk[Total: 463.0GB, 78.1% free] video[nVidia Corporation G80 [GeForce 8800 GTS]] sound[HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia]

p.s.. also note that there is a 10 line spaces between CPU and 6700... i guess this is a bug as well

[Cesare Tirabassi (norsetto)]

I can confirm the first problem (upstream uses /etc/lsb_release instead of /etc/lsb-release). As for the 10 spaces, can you paste here what a cat /proc/cpuinfo reports?

I attached an image just in case it doesn't show the spaces here....

[Cesare Tirabassi (norsetto)]

ok, so, as you can see it has nothing to do with xchat-xsys

[Cesare Tirabassi (norsetto)]

This will be fixed for intrepid.

[freddy3980 (freddy3980)]

Thanks for the information Cesare Tirabassi, can you give me more information about intrepid (link for bug report, etc)...

[Cesare Tirabassi (norsetto)]

intrepid ibex aka ubuntu 8.10 will be the next ubuntu release

[freddy3980 (freddy3980)]

I see, thanks for the information... all is left is the xchat-xsys fix....

[Cesare Tirabassi (norsetto)]

Waiting for the intrepid package, interested people can use packages from my ppa. They are unofficial packages, so, use them at your own risk and no official support is given:

amd64
http://ppa.launchpad.net/norsetto/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xchat-xsys/xchat-xsys_2.2.0-1ubuntu0~ppa2_amd64.deb

i386
http://ppa.launchpad.net/norsetto/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xchat-xsys/xchat-xsys_2.2.0-1ubuntu0~ppa2_i386.deb

However, let me now if there is any problem with distro name not being displayed properly.

[freddy3980 (freddy3980)]

This is what comes out with the i386 xchat-xsys deb:

os ( Linux 2.6.24-16-generic i686 ) distro ( Ubuntu "hardy" 8.04 ) cpu ( 2 x Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6700 @ 2.66GHz (GenuineIntel) @ 2.67GHz ) mem ( Physical: 2.0GB, 71.6% free ) disk ( Total: 463.0GB, 76.9% free ) video ( nVidia Corporation G80 [GeForce 8800 GTS] ) sound ( HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia )

seems to be fine so far...

[Gerson "fserve" Barreiros (fserve)]

nice work, cesare =) can link your parce.c source file please?
i just want to see how it was made :)
thanks

[Cesare Tirabassi (norsetto)]

You can also get the source package from the ppa:

http://ppa.launchpad.net/norsetto/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xchat-xsys/

Its an inline patch, but for the repo one I will most probably use quilt.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package xchat-xsys - 2.2.0-1ubuntu1

---------------
xchat-xsys (2.2.0-1ubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low

  * Add quilt support in debian/control and debian/rules.
  * debian/patches/fix_wrong_distro (LP: #221171):
    change xs_parse_distro in parse.c to use lsb_release instead of its own
    version.
  * debian/patches/fix_whitespace:
    change remove_leading_whitespace in match.c so that it removes all
    leading whitespaces (tabs included).
  * Modify Maintainer value to match the DebianMaintainerField
    specification.
