<rekado>oriansj: done.
<oriansj>thank you rekado
<oriansj>one warning for those using untar.c is it does *NOT* preserve file permissions but sets file permissions to the environmental default (usually 644 or 640 depending on your umask) So binaries in tar files become non-executable by default
<oriansj>I figure this is a non-issue as one should only be downloading source code and building from it not distributing binaries.
<stikonas>I think that's fine
<stikonas>and we also replace untar with GNU tar 1.12 fairly quickly
<stikonas>untar.c is needed only for early stuff (I think only for tar, gzip, two versions of tcc, mes and possibly messcc-tools-extra
<stikonas>oriansj: next thing to update is https://bootstrappable.org/who.html
<stikonas>we need to replace old channel with this one
<stikonas>do you remember where this web site lives
<stikonas>and regarding non-executable binaries in untar.c, we also have similar issue with first pre-coreutils cp. It also does not preserve executable bit. But we have pre-coreutils chmod to deal with that
<oriansj> https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix/bootstrappable.git/
<oriansj>and I believe rekado would be the one who is able to update the site.
<stikonas>ok, I've sent a patch to replace it in mes

<Melg8>HI, any news on fossy's online?)

<Melg8>i just want to get feedback on my pr)
<Melg8>Hi)
<fossy>Oohh
<fossy>It is getting late here. But it is now on my todo list for first thing tomorrow morning.
<Melg8>thanks!)
<oriansj>screw it, I am jsut going to add --blood to get_machine so that clunky logic for determining what flags you need to pass to blood-elf is just a solved problem.

<mihi>FTR, when autojoining #bootstrappable on Freenode, I saw the topic and that I was immediately banned, but no ENTRYMSG. (MLOCK +m might have been a bit more friendly instead)
*mihi still would like if whoever has access to that znc on bayfront-log could copy the old logfiles back, like they did for #guix :)
<stikonas>yeah, I get the same issue on the old channel, it's probably a bit too strict
