<AlmuHS>hi. How can I compile Git from apt? When I execute "apt sources git" and "dpkg-buildpackage -B -uc", the compilation fails

<youpi>that would be it

<youpi>+ apt-get build-dep git

<AlmuHS>i did it before

<AlmuHS>but it seems that, after compilation, make execute a set of tests, and one test fails

<youpi>yes, buildds have the same issue

<youpi>you can use export DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck to skip it

<youpi>but ideally somebody would fix it someday

<jrtc27>(hint hint? :P)

<youpi>;)

<AlmuHS>thanks, i'll try again with this option

<AlmuHS>i'm writting a doc with some suggestions to add new sections to website: "getting started", with basic information about GNU/Hurd distributions and how to install; and "how to contribute", with some tips to download the sources, follow coding style, generate the patch, etc

<youpi>it seems the wiki has user/tlecarrour/porting_guide_for_dummies.mdwn, you can probably peek some parts from it

<AlmuHS>yes, it's a good idea

<AlmuHS>i'm taking some notes about other articles, and other own material

<AlmuHS>a quick question: where is hurd wiki? I don't get to find It in google

<azeem>AlmuHS: it's hurd.gnu.org

<AlmuHS>azeem: this is the main website, but is the wiki too?

<azeem>did you take a look?

<AlmuHS>yes, I did

<AlmuHS>but i don't found this: user/tlecarrour/porting_guide_for_dummies.mdwn

<AlmuHS>ok, i've just found in google: https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/user/tlecarrour/porting_guide_for_dummies.html

<azeem>ok good - I have to admit I couldn't find it via the wiki front page either

<AlmuHS>this website needs a good index
