<bdrung_> sync a -2 of an.orig.tar.bz2
<persia> Ugh.  Just upload it then.
<persia> You'll have to mangle the.changes file, and sign it separately, but that oughtn't be that hard.
<persia> I think there's even a script floating about that does some of it.
<bdrung_> persia: yes, and this script had a bug
<persia> That script has lots of bugs, and shouldn't be used in most cases.  Still, it's a reasonable guide to mangling the.changes file.
<lfaraone> bdrung_: by the way, thanks for ACKing all my sync requests :)
<mok0> persia: I'd like to change the arch on my netbook OS from "lpia" to "i386". Is there a way to do that without re-installing? What I'm wondering is if you could change dpkg's understanding of what the arch is
<bdrung_> lfaraone: you're welcome.
<persia> mok0: I don't know of any good way to do it without a reinstall.
<mok0> persia: Hm. Dang
<mok0> persia: My impression is that lpia and i386 should be compatible
<persia> kinda.
<persia> The ABI may differ in some respects due to differences in the toolchain, but that's about it.
<mok0> persia: different compiler optimization flags, right?
<persia> different triplet
<mok0> persia: but how does dpkg-* know what the arch is?
<mok0> persia: it must be set somewhere
<persia> I forget.  Check the dpkg-architecture source.
<mok0> persia: I did... but got lost in the perl
<persia> heh
<mok0> persia: just a bunch of regexes
<mok0> persia: and I wasn't sure if that was the nexus of that information
<persia> mok0: It just asks dpkg --print-architecture, as it turns out.
