zulheh i just fed the guinea pig02:38
zulso kind of same thing02:38
lamontheh03:06
lamonthrm.. I'm on  major lagtime today03:06
fabbionemorning06:27
fabbionei guess nobody has been tracking the Debian kernel while i was away... right?06:32
dilingeri have!06:36
dilinger;)06:36
fabbioneyeah i know you do :)06:39
fabbionenobody did here06:39
fabbioneand i can see a few hunderd tons of SECURITY and other important bug fixes06:39
dilingeri actually am about to release 2.6.10-606:40
dilingeri have an i386 image compiling06:40
fabbioneis there any abi breakage between debian 2.6.10-4 and -6?07:09
dilingerthere shouldn't be07:16
dilingeri dropped the netfilter private frag queue stuff07:16
dilingerthere's an amd64 fix that touches a header file, but it's a static inline function, so it shouldn't break stuff07:17
dilingeri'm also reenabling CONFIG_PREEMPT on i386, so as to avoid an ABINAME bump07:17
dilingerno point fixing that stuff in 2.6.10, and having it rot in NEW while we do the same thing in 2.6.1107:17
fabbionebut that's in the kernel-image....07:18
dilingerright07:18
dilingerwhich you don't care about.  but i figured i'd mention for completeness07:18
fabbioneyes.. i am not going to munge too much around with configs at this point in time07:18
dilingeri have a half written ruby script that does abi checking07:19
dilingerwrote it in an airport07:19
dilingeri should finish it tonight07:19
fabbioneyeah but we were considering build-time checks07:20
dilingerright07:20
dilingerbounty it, and i'll have it done in a day or two :)07:21
fabbionein 99.9% of the cases we always pre-build on porting boxes07:21
dilingerin something other than ruby07:21
fabbionefor bounties = mdz ;)07:21
=== dilinger pokes mdz
fabbionethe point isn't ruby or python or shell script07:21
dilingerwell, if you're going to run it at build-time, it's an added build-dep07:22
fabbione<mdz> sleep now07:22
fabbioneyes.. but that isn't an issue07:22
fabbionejust read all the irclogs :-)07:22
fabbionei need to go for a few minutes.. mother nature is calling me badly07:22
dilingerheh07:23
dilingeri need to start this i386 build anyways07:23
fabbioneeheh07:23
fabbionejbailey: CONFIG_LOGO=n on all arches07:25
fabbionejust committed07:25
fabbioneHMMM07:41
fabbionethere is something really unclear to me....07:41
=== fabbione needs to dig into this madness
dilingerfabbione: just checking vmlinux symbols doesn't work07:49
dilingermodules ABI need to be checked as well07:49
fabbioneyeah i have been thinking about it...07:49
dilingermodules'07:49
dilingermy way is running nm on modules07:50
fabbioneand i had the same idea.. 07:50
dilingerie, nm /lib/modules/2.6.10/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-core.ko07:50
dilinger3b97ad98 A __crc_ide_undecoded_slave07:51
dilinger00007fa0 T ide_undecoded_slave07:51
dilingerthat's 0x3b97ad98      ide_undecoded_slave     drivers/ide/ide-core in Module.symvers07:51
dilingeran abi checker needs to report any modules that are missing, and any changed symbols within modules07:52
fabbionefirst 2 things to do after hoary:08:14
fabbione- clean up the packing08:14
fabbione- allign the configs08:14
fabbione- abi checker if we cannot get it in hoary08:14
fabbioneIT IS PURE MADNESS!08:14
fabbionewe could have a kernel-config builder.. similar to kernel-wedge08:16
dilingerhow about08:20
dilinger- synch packaging w/ debian08:20
dilingersince i think we both want the same things; the only place we seem to differ is w/ ubuntu's d-i stuff right in the source package08:20
dilingerdiffer in goals, that is08:21
fabbioneand a bunch of extra modules compiled in08:21
fabbionebut yes08:21
fabbionewe need a common source08:21
dilingeryea, but that's not a packaging issue08:21
dilingerit'd make everyone's life easier, i think08:21
fabbionebut we can't achive it until debian will not kill at least the kernel-source -> kernel-image madness08:21
fabbionei fully agree08:22
dilingerright08:22
=== fabbione is very close to send ia64 to hell
fabbioneit's snowing09:57

Mithrandirslushing here.11:10
fabbionethe only thing that pisses me off about snow is that i need to go out and clean the road11:10
Mithrandirit'll clean itself eventually.  Called summer.11:11
fabbioneMithrandir: here by law we must clean it, because it's a private road11:11
Mithrandiroh, ok11:11
fabbioneand if the postman falls 11:11
fabbioneit's my responsability11:12
fabbionenow.. it is fucking lame11:12
fabbionebecause they could learn to fly11:12

T-Boneseen that, thx12:59
fabbionejbailey: no problem01:00
fabbioneit took me fucking 4 hours to unfuck ia64 build01:00
T-Boneunfuck?01:00
fabbionewell yes.01:01
MithrandirT-Bone: does the new ia32-libs in the archive make you happy?01:01
fabbionethe problem is that we were calling kernel-wedge || true01:01
fabbionethat was hiding some problems01:01
fabbioneand ia64 was one in the worst situation01:01
fabbionewith dup mods allover01:01
T-BoneMithrandir: haven't checked yet but they certainly will! We need to sync with kamion for the language support deps, as soon as you'll upload ooo :)01:01
T-Bonefabbione: wasn't aware of that01:01
T-Bonefabbione: nobody complained01:01
fabbioneT-Bone: yup.. i did paste here when you were around :-)))01:02

fabbionei tought you were busy somehow01:02
T-Boneyesterday01:02
fabbioneyes that one01:02
MithrandirT-Bone: I would be very happy if you checked it out and closed the bugs if appropriate01:02
T-Bonewell given i get back from work at 1900 localtime on every week days except friday, I don't have much time to dig that kind of stuff01:03
T-BoneMithrandir: the only bug i know of is the ldd one, You fixed it, you close it? :)01:03
fabbionethat's why i went forward and fixed it01:03
T-Bonewhich is cool01:03
MithrandirT-Bone: please verify it's fixed.01:03
T-Bonebesides, I don't have much insight on kernel build process01:03
T-BoneMithrandir: sure, hold on01:04
T-BoneMithrandir: give me 5mn to get something on fire for me to eat, i'm starving01:04
Mithrandirsure01:04
MithrandirT-Bone: I hate to close bugs if I can't verify that they are fixed.01:04
T-Bonewell you can... :)01:07
T-Bonewhat am i supposed to check? apt-get removing and install ia32-libs is enough?01:07
Mithrandiralso lib32gcc101:08
Mithrandirand that ooo works afterwards01:08

fabbioneno log on people...01:15
fabbionethat's good.. 01:15
fabbioneit means that buildds didn't fail... YET01:15
T-BoneMithrandir: ooo works as a charm01:17
T-Bonefabbione: wrt the m-l, i wasn't the one who set it up, i hope you're subscribed to it, it's used for bugreports actually.01:18
MithrandirT-Bone: great, thanks.01:18
T-BoneMithrandir: what do you think about the ldd.amd64 thingy?01:18
T-Bonein my taste it should be corrected, but as long as it works...01:19
fabbioneT-Bone: i didn't want a ml from the beginning and i know you have no power to sub people01:19
T-Bone?01:19
fabbioneand now it is a very high traffic ml that nobody is going to read01:20
T-Bonei didn't want bugreports to be sent to that m-l01:20
fabbionesince i get the same bug  messages in 3 inbox now01:20
T-Bonei didn't push forward for that m-l01:20
fabbioneT-Bone: read above please.. i didn't say you did something anywhere01:20
fabbionei know you did not create it01:20
fabbionebut you were one pushing for it01:20
T-Bonei thought that if we were to have a decently sized team, it would be useful01:21
MithrandirT-Bone: I'm somewhat inclined to ignore it, or rather, I'm probably going to fix it for ia32-libs in Debian and we'll sync what they have.01:21
T-Bonebut I clearly stated (and the logs on that channel will show it) that having bugreports sent to it was a *bad idea*, since it would turn up the same shit as debian-kernel which I unsubscribed for that very reason01:21
fabbionei agree to that :-)01:22
fabbionewe shoud remove the bugs from the list01:22
fabbionei think lamont has to do it01:22
T-BoneMithrandir: ok. Maybe you want to add some README entry somewhere about that, so that confused users can see it before posting irrelevant bugreports01:22
fabbionei am not sure even who did it in the beginning01:22
T-Bonefabbione: i would more than thank you for doing that01:22
fabbionei don't know it has been done in the beginning01:23
fabbioneso i am not sure HOW to revert it01:23
=== T-Bone doesn't know: went to bed one day, woke up the next and the m-l was there
T-BoneOTOH you can blame *me* for creating this channel :P01:23
MithrandirT-Bone: sure, but it's a 200-odd MB upload, so I try not to upload it too often.01:23
fabbionei am off until the meeting01:24
fabbionei need some relax01:24
fabbionepleaase keep an eye on the build logs01:24
fabbioneand try to grep for -j to see if it has been set properly01:24
