This page is mostly here for me, helping remember some useful tricks.

- How to chroot from one distro to another

--chroot from debian into archlinux
first, mount needed stuff

$ sudo mount -t proc proc /mnt/arch/sys/proc

$ sudo mount -t sysfs sys /mnt/arch/sys/sys

$ sudo mount -o bind /dev /mnt/arch/sys/dev

$ sudo mount -t devpts pts /mnt/arch/sys/dev/pts

$ sudo mount -o bind /mnt/arch/home/ /mnt/arch/sys/home/

$ sudo chroot /mnt/arch/sys/ /bin/bash

Welcome to Archlinux!

-- restart network

[root@katalyn /]#rc.d restart network

That's it!


--chroot from archlinux into debian
first, mount needed stuff

$ sudo mount -t proc proc /mnt/debian/sys/proc

$ sudo mount -t sysfs sys /mnt/debian/sys/sys

$ sudo mount -o bind /dev /mnt/debian/sys/dev

$ sudo mount -t devpts pts /mnt/debian/sys/dev/pts

$ sudo mount -o bind /mnt/debian/home/ /mnt/debian/sys/home/

$ sudo chroot /mnt/debian/sys/ /bin/bash

Welcome to Debian!

- How to contribute to KDE (aka sending patches)

example : kdevplatform
- clone : git clone kde:kdevplatform
- branch : git checkout -b bugfix
- dev & tests
- commit
- git format-patch (just as a precaution)
sending patch to git.reviewboard.kde.org :
- from bugfix branch : post-review --parent=master
