pastebinit fails with bad API request

[mdeguzis]

Fails:

desktop@steamos:~/SteamOS-Tools-Packaging/sprunge$ cat ~/test.txt | pastebinit 
Bad API request, invalid api_dev_key

Works:

desktop@steamos:~/SteamOS-Tools-Packaging/sprunge$ cat ~/test.txt | pastebinit -b http://paste.debian.net
http://paste.debian.net/

Bug report upstream:

I could recompile the package you have to include a default destination link to debian's, but I would prefer Valve make the call. If you check the upstream bug, it seems that http://pastebin.com, the default paste service,became closed to anonymous pasting. It is quite easy to divert lsb_release to detect SteamOS. SteamOS does not have it's own destination pastebin.

The uptream patches seem to be present, but since the default PB is closed to anonymous pasting, this is an issue.

My package pool (with debian paste as default) is below. Whether or not this is the "right" thing to do, is up to the Valve maintainers. Defaulting to another site like slexy should work fine.

Is pastebinit included in SteamOS by default? If not couldn't this issue be closed. I would understand if pastebinit was included by default however

@not83, yes or I would not have to bring this up and be able to supersede the Jessie package in my SteamOS-Tools package. All you have to do is check the package pool.

repo.steampowered.com/steamos/pool/main/p/pastebinit/pastebinit_1.4-4+bsos3_all.deb

@not83 It is not installed by default, but available in the repo.

Here is some back story if Valve chooses to fix the package: http://mewbies.com/pastebinit_how_to_pastebin_commnad_line_output_from_terminal_to_pastebin.htm
