kylemmr. garrett?01:10
mjg59I have what seems to be a moderately critical ACPI patch sitting here01:10
mjg59It seems that Windows enables GPEs before calling the _WAK method01:12
mjg59And, uh, Linux currently doesn;t.01:12
kylemhmm?01:12
mjg59So if a _WAK method does anything that triggers an event, the event handler never gets called01:13
mjg59And it all goes pear shaped01:13
kylemyuck.01:13
mjg59Jesus. It actually seems to fix it, too.01:17

schweebI was told I should talk to you guys about packages that have kernel dependencies in universe that won't build... such as user-mode-linux, which requires kernel-source-2.4.2601:40

zulthen there is a whole thread about powersaving and usb devices on linux-usb-devel04:06
dilingeras soon as someone sends somethign to kernel-team, the gmane newsgroup should get created06:16

fabbionemorning06:21
dilingerevening06:22
fabbionemjg59: thanks for the patch but that will be for breezy06:22
fabbioneno more patch for hoary06:22
fabbionedilinger: what's up?06:24
dilingernot much.  just thinking about sarge preparations06:32
fabbionei started squashing xen into the kernel06:34
fabbionethe patch is not too bad, but it has some duplicate files = extremely annoying06:34
fabbione+ it needs me to  add the patch per subarch support06:35
fabbionebtw.. how do you handle the kernel-patch package, given that you have general patches, patches per arch, and patches per subarch?06:35
fabbionedo you create all of these patches?06:36
fabbioneor just the general ones?06:36
fabbionebecause right now i create patches only per arch06:37
fabbionei still do not generate per subarch diffs06:37
fabbionei think that would give the same problem creating the patched kernel-source-2.6.X package...06:41
fabbionehmmmm06:41
dilingersorry, roommate distracted me06:42
fabbioneno problem :)06:42
dilingeri haven't had to deal w/ kernel-patch stuff for a while (w/ devmapper patches)06:42
dilingeror are you talking about kernel-patch-debian?06:43
fabbionethat latter06:43
fabbionegiven that you have the three levels of patches06:43
fabbionewhich ones are reflected into kernel-patch-debian?06:43
dilingerthe stuff in kernel-patch-debian is just stuff from kernel-source06:44
dilingerthat's for all archs06:44
fabbioneso you lose per arch and per subarch bits06:44
=== dilinger tries to find a per-arch kernel-patch
dilingerok, kernel-patch-2.6.8-hppa06:46
dilingerthat still does it the old way06:46
dilingerthat's a patch on top of kernel-patch-debian06:46
dilingermost archs just commit patches directly to kernel-source, though06:46
dilingersparc, powerpc, i386, etc, all had their patches merged into k-s06:47
fabbioneok, so we handle the per arch in a better way :-)06:47
fabbionesince for me it's a Package: any06:47
fabbioneand i create the diff per arch06:47
fabbionehppa is part of it06:48
fabbionewhat about subarches?06:48
fabbionei know you support it06:48
dilingeryea, see, the problem w/ doing per-arch patches is, you get other patches that conflict06:48
dilingeri'm not aware of subarch patches06:48
fabbionedilinger: yes, and that's why by (our internal) policy the per arch patches must be applied only after the general patches06:49
fabbioneand not mixed in the middle06:49
dilingeri mean other patches06:49
dilingerie, kernel-patch-grsec, kernel-patch-devmapper, etc06:49
dilingerthey must apply to kernel-patch-debian06:50
fabbioneoh well, these are external patches anyway06:50
dilingerbut if you throw misc arch-specific patches in there, it gets messy.  might as well not bother packaging separate patches06:50
fabbioneyes i see, but i am talking about only kernel-source here06:50
fabbionedilinger: that becomes kernel-patch-foo maintainer problem to get his patch properly integrated instead of maintaining externally06:51
fabbioneexternal patches = crap06:51
fabbioneimho06:51
dilingerthat's cause you integrate external patches :p06:51
dilingerwe try to do the opposite06:51
dilingerif they're not upstream, and they're not in the process of being fed upstream, we don't want them in kernel-source (and per-arch kernel packages)06:52
fabbionewe both have valid points in that area06:52
dilingerotherwise, it becomes a PITA to support06:53
fabbionebut using your approach, you correctly push the external patches responsability to the maintainer :-)06:53
dilingeryep06:53
fabbioneso if you apply a persubarch/perarch patch06:53
dilingerand that's why we want to make it as easy as possible for those maintainers06:53
fabbioneit's not your problem to let -grsec to apply06:53
dilingerif they suddenly have to deal w/ making -grsec apply to not only kernel-patch-debian, but various other per-arch patches..06:54
dilingerwhen i maintained kernel-patch-devmapper, hubert's application of a crippled dm patch was a constant source of hassle06:54
dilinger'cause what he applied was only useful for basic lvm stuff.  snapshotting, etc, didn't work06:55
dilingerso i ended up having to have two patches in kernel-patch-devmapper; one for vanilla kernels, and one for debian kernels06:55
dilingerthat totally broke kernel-package, though06:55
dilingerpeople had to apply and unapply patches manually.  it was a mess06:55
dilingerso, having a canonical source for those patches to apply against is valuable06:56
fabbionethat's why i hate external patches :-)06:56
dilingerthanks for the bluetooth thing, btw06:57
dilingerdid you ever find a fix for the BINDTODEVICE thing?06:57
fabbionenope06:58
fabbionei think there is none yet06:58
dilingeri took a look at netdev-2.6, but didn't see any fixes.  i assume the problem is that the sk_dst_get stuff was returning the sk_dst_cache, which wasn't invalidated?06:59
=== dilinger looked at the code when i first got the email, but didn't feel like writing an app to see which codepath it actually went through
fabbioneour patch finder is pitti for this stuff07:00

dilingeri'm gonna be on a plane then :(07:17
fabbioneum?07:18
fabbionefor the meeting?07:18
fabbionedo you remember if cp -al creates softlinks or hardlinks?07:19
dilingeractually, no, i take that back.  i'm getting back to albany around 2pm.  so, i'll probably just be getting home07:19
dilingersoft07:20
dilingeriirc, of course ;)07:20
fabbioneyeah i need to check that to implement per subarch patching07:20
fabbioneit loks like hardlinks07:21

Roeyfabbione:  hi07:54
Roeyfabbione:  do you maintain kubuntu kernel stuff?07:56
RoeyI built the wacom-kernel-module 07:57
Roeyer07:57
Roeyenabled the replacement hid, mousedev, evdev, usbmouse drivers in the module's debian/rules07:57
Roeybut when I make a kubuntu package from the sources, it doesn't seem to contain these .ko's07:57
Roeycrimsun and I have been looking at this for the past 45 mins.07:58
Roeythis doesn't make -any- sense.07:58
Roeythis wacom linux kernel package seems to be missing key functionality07:58
crimsunRoey: I haven't seen the build log from your last attempt07:58
Roeyhttp://rafb.net/paste/results/8narM137.html07:59
crimsunRoey: err, that can't be your build log...08:02
Roeyah08:03
Roeyright08:03
Roeythat's the dpkg -L listing of that package08:03
Roeyshowing that only wacom.ko was installed.08:03
crimsunright, but to troubleshoot, we'd need your build log08:03
Roeyhttp://rafb.net/paste/results/Dz7HbQ95.html08:05
Roeycrimsun:  http://rafb.net/paste/results/Dz7HbQ95.html08:05
fabbioneRoey: the kernel for ubuntu and kubuntu is the same08:07
fabbioneand i already gave you an answer yesterday about the driver08:07
Roey"No need to build input.o for kernel 2.6" -- so input.ko is not built.08:08
Roeyfabbione:  did you?08:08
fabbione<fabbione> Roey: i don't want to sound unpolite, but this chan is to discuss08:08
fabbione           the kernel development. General help should go to #ubuntu please.08:08
fabbione<fabbione> at 15 days from release, i really don't have to see external08:08
fabbione           modules.. sorry08:08
fabbione<fabbione> + it's eastern :-)08:08
RoeyI meant ubuntu08:08
Roeynot kubuntu08:08
fabbioneit's the same kernel08:08
Roeykubuntu is just the kde libraries for ubuntu08:08
fabbionethere are no differences08:08
RoeyI know08:08
RoeyI know08:08
RoeyI'm talking about the ubuntu kernel.08:08
fabbione<Roey> fabbione:  do you maintain kubuntu kernel stuff?08:09
Roey*ubuntu* then08:09
Roeysorry, my mistake08:09
fabbionei was also answering to this one :-)08:09
