T-Bonefabbione : i like your mails: 45% text, 65% gpg key ;o] 10:14
=== T-Bone ducks!
fabbioneit is still worth 100% of the data10:14
T-Bonenot for me ;)10:14
fabbioneyou are special10:15
fabbionebut that's not my fault10:15
T-Bone1) because most of the time i don't read gpg signs, and 2) because i know how to fetch a gpg key ;)10:15
fabbione:)10:15
fabbioneT-Bone: my MUA just tells me if the gpg sig is valid or not10:15
T-Bonewell, it depends on which side you stand. from my PoV, *you* (damned Italian) are special ;o)10:15
fabbionei don't read all the gpg crap10:15
fabbioneT-Bone: that works the otherway around with french10:16
T-Bonefabbione : when i use a MUA that can do gpg it does the same, yet it doesn't need to have the key in the message ;) And from work i'm bound to webmail, so gpg ain't much useful there ;)10:16
T-Bonefabbione : i knew you'd say that ;)10:16
T-Bonefabbione : so, how's the sparc port going? ;)10:17
fabbioneT-Bone: fine.. hoary main is all built and installable10:17

=== fabbione starts dropping hppa from l-s-2.6.12
T-Bonelol10:17
fabbioneno i am not kidding :)10:18
T-Bonethat'd be fairly unfair, given the *very* reduced size of the patch10:18
fabbionei need to rediff the patches10:18
T-Boneah, you mean the old bloated patch?10:18
fabbioneyes.. but i got you anyway :P10:18
fabbionethat was good enough for me10:18
T-Boneyeah sure that one can be ditched. The new one shouldn't be more than a few 10s KB10:18
T-Boneyou are so nasty with me :^P10:18
=== T-Bone sad
fabbioneno i still love you10:19
T-Boneno you don't10:19
T-Boneyou hate me10:19
T-Bonei know you do10:19
=== T-Bone sighs
T-Bone=)10:19
T-Boneand that's all my parents' fault. I didn't choose to be born french, you know 8)10:20
fabbionestill not my problem :)10:23

T-Boneyeah, reeaaaaally 8)11:03
dilingerso are you guys not planning on turning on DMA for cdroms and dvds?11:14
dilinger(drives, that is)11:14
fabbioneno way11:15
dilinger:/11:16
fabbionei rather prefer a user that complains about slow performance than people that can't use their CD/DVD at all11:16
fabbionedilinger: or do you have good arguments on how to do it in a sane way?11:16
dilingerbut the number of people that can't use their cd/dvd at all due to dma is relatively small, and those devices should simply be blacklisted as not supporting DMA11:16
dilingerthe kernel has the functionality to do that already; people w/ nonworking cdroms should report them, so that we can add more to the blacklist11:17
=== T-Bone concurs
fabbionehmmm11:18
fabbionedilinger: i am afraid of landing in the a huge list to maintain outside the kernel11:19
fabbione+ i always had the feeling that DMA is way too much binded by chipset/cdrom combo11:19
fabbionenot just one or the other11:19
dilingerit should be fairly easy to get patches to add blacklisted devices accepted upstream11:20
fabbionewe will take a look to it @ UDU11:22
=== dilinger nods
fabbionei really don't want to take too many decisions right now11:22
fabbionespecially when we are 2 weeks far from it11:22
dilingeri would recommend it as a breezy thing, certainly11:22
fabbioneand we are still far away to have a kernel for breezy :)11:22
fabbioneThe God Father theme is amazing11:25
=== fabbione will make an offer to T-Bone he can't refuse
T-Bonehoho11:25
=== T-Bone gets scared
T-Bonea contract on my head? ;)11:25
=== T-Bone watches fabbione play Don Corleone
=== fabbione reminds T-Bone that he has been living in sicily for a bunch of years
T-Bonethis isn't what scares me the most. What scares the hell out of me is that you've been living in sicily for so long and have moved to .dk. Yet, you're still alive. Means you've got strong connections ;o)11:27
God_FatherT-Bone: picciriddu11:27
T-Bonelol11:27
T-BoneI knew you were nuts but i didn't figured out how much ;)11:27
fabbioneT-Bone: you still don't know me enough...11:29
T-Bonefabbione : one of these i'll have you pay for treating me like a bambino ;)11:29
fabbionethis is still all inside my standards11:29
fabbioneT-Bone: you are a kid11:29
T-Boneif you say so ;)11:29
T-Boneyou must be fsckin old geezer to "kid" me whilst i'm about a quarter century old ;)11:30
fabbionei 1/3 century old kid11:31
T-Bonewow. Talk about a difference ;)11:31
fabbionedude.. when i was turning on my first computer, you were still a dream in your father's testicles11:31
fabbioneno offence to your father :)11:31
Mithrandirfabbione: you played with computers before you were eight?11:32
T-Bonei wonder11:32
T-Boneyou've been turning on your first computer at the age of 5 or somethign? ;)11:32
fabbioneMithrandir: i got my first zx81 when i was 611:32
fabbioneyes..11:32
fabbionei started learning basic at that time11:32
Mithrandirfabbione: old man.  I started playing with computers at the age of 1.5 :P11:32
fabbionesince it was almost impossible to find tapes with games :)11:32
T-Bonefabbione : pfff, spoiled child ;)11:32
fabbioneMithrandir: ehehe11:33
=== T-Bone is *glad* not to have fallen into computers too early
fabbioneT-Bone: well yeah.. kinda11:33
T-Bonethat's why i can enjoy *other* things in life ;)11:33
fabbioneT-Bone: so.. why are you spending time on hppa???11:34
T-Bonefabbione : because i can11:34
T-Bone;)11:34
fabbioneinstead of going out scoring chicks?11:34
fabbione<T-Bone> that's why i can enjoy *other* things in life ;)11:34
fabbionei find difficult to consider hppa *other* things in life <-11:34
T-Bonefabbione : nonono, you don't get it. I'm the one being dated by chicks. I have little effort to do 8)11:35
fabbioneT-Bone: and do you wake up all swet in the morning after these dreams?11:35
T-Bonefabbione : lol; dude, you see, i may be a kid, yet i can enjoy some freedom you can no longer feel ;o)11:36
T-Bone(that was a proper lart! ;o)11:36
fabbioneT-Bone: are you so sure? :)11:37
T-Bonei do11:37
T-Bone;)11:37
T-Boneand other things in life == guitar, sport (funboard, horse riding, ski, moutain climbing, etc), readings, do-it-yourself, parties, and girls dating ;)11:38
T-Bone(and that's only the major stuff)11:38
T-Boneactually you can s/guitar/music/ cause i'm diversifying in that area ;)11:39
fabbionehow can you be sure that i didn't elevated my way of pleasures to another level?11:40
T-Bonefabbione : i'm sorry, but i'm french. I have to live up to my country's expectation, wrt chicks. That may be the other point Italian and French are always arguing about: who are the most handsome?. My answer is "I am" ;o] ] 11:40
fabbionehmmm11:41
fabbionei was actually talking to a more general level11:41
fabbionenot just chicks11:41
T-Bonei know11:41
fabbionebut still.. sometimes there is no need to score chicks to elevate your sexual pleasure11:41
fabbionethinking of three-some.. orgies...11:41

dilingerfabbione: are you a sopranos fan?11:59
fabbionedilinger: nah.. just a mafia's fan :)11:59
dilingerhehe12:00
fabbionehmm 12rc2 is coming up nice and clean12:01
fabbionespecially now that i managed to track all the external drivers in details12:02
dilingerit's kind of upsetting that linus is wasting his time working on yet another SCM instead of spending it on 2.6.1212:03
fabbionei read that thread.. but well i think he is only using it as PoC to see what he really wants/needs12:04
fabbionei don't believe he will ever release a SCM12:05
=== T-Bone wanders off for lunch, bbl
=== T-Bone is now known as T-Gone
fabbionefood... it's almost a good idea12:08
dilingerfabbione: i dunno, i'd still much rather see him pick a SCM that he likes the concept of, and help bring the code up to speed12:11
fabbionedilinger: yes i agree... but still....12:34
=== T-Gone is now known as T-Bone
fabbionegoodie goodies....01:19
fabbioneall the non external-* patches are done (missing 2 to check that should be upstream)01:19
fabbioneall the external-* documentation is updated01:20

widois reiser4 supported by the current kernel?01:21
fabbionenope01:21
widocouldn't find any reference on the homepage01:21
fabbioneit's too unstable to be shipped with ubuntu01:21
fabbioneperhaps for breezy01:21
T-Bonereiser4 is still a mess atm, indeed01:22
widoah, ok. then i have to figure uot a way how to backup my mp3s in order to install ubuntu01:22
widobtw, reiser4 worked without problems on my gentoo box01:23
mjg59reiser4 will be included when it's included in Linus's kernel01:24
mjg59The patch is likely to apply to the Ubuntu sources though, so you can probably build your own01:24
T-Bonemjg59 : sounds like a wise word ;)01:24
fabbionewido: for my experience with reiserfs4... it will enter ubuntu when Linus will bless it upstream01:25
widocurrently i don't care which filesystem i use. the only question was, if i could reuse my existing partions, or if i have to convert them in order to install ubuntu01:26
T-Bonefabbione : that's yet another point i won't discuss, for i agree ;o)01:26
fabbioneT-Bone: ahhaha01:27
T-Bonefabbione : see, we can tag along! ;)01:27

jbaileyfabbione: Ping for when you're back?03:07
fabbionejbailey: pong03:32
jbaileyfabbione: Where's the place to babble about initrd-tools hooks in the kernel package?  I'd like an option in kernel-mg.conf to be able to choose a different initrd handler.03:33
fabbionejbailey: probably kernel-package03:34
jbaileyAs in, you'd like an enh filed on bugzilla?03:35
fabbionejbailey: no, i had like a tested patch03:35
jbaileyRight.  But do you want discussion around it first?03:35
fabbionejbailey: sure.. we can either do it here or on kernel-team.. up to you03:36
fabbionefirst explain me the problem03:36
fabbioneand what we need to achive03:36
jbaileyThe idea is that I want to test my initramfs replacement.  I can hack around the package all I want for now, but when it comes time to do a call for testing, I'd like to be able to give people 2 lines to add to their kernel-img file to hook to the initramfs generation stuff.03:37
jbaileySame way as we do for grub and friends.03:38
fabbioneworks for me....03:38
fabbionei don't see any problem with that03:38
fabbione"break it early" works perfectly fine for me03:39
fabbione+ we can help testing it, if you can explain what this initramfs hack should do03:39
jbaileyfabbione: It's a complete rework of the initrd system that uses udev instead of devfs, and uses hotplug to detect the modules that need to be loaded rather than having all the ugly magic of trying to detect it at install time.03:40
jbaileyfabbione: There are some other clever bits, but those are the particularily important ones.03:40
fabbionejbailey: hmm interesting...03:41
fabbionejbailey: i think you want to look at kernel-package03:41
fabbioneit has the postinst files that gets smashed in the final linux-image03:41
fabbioneand that generates the initrd03:41
fabbionenow03:41
fabbionethe best way would be to modify such a best in a way that "if [ -e /etc/breakmehard ] ; then generate_initramfs; fi03:42
fabbioneso that you can add the changes even now03:42
fabbionebut they will be enabled only on demand03:42
jbaileyHmm.  I had been thinking of doing it the same way grub is handled:  do_bootloader = no , posthook = update-grub03:43
jbaileyRather than hardcode another constant idea in.03:43
fabbionei know that make-kpkg has a bunch of hooks that can be installed at kernel build time03:43
fabbioneso perhaps you want to explore that option too03:44
fabbionethe most important thing for me are:03:44
fabbionea) don't fork kernel-package03:44
fabbioneb) keep compatibility with the old stuff during development03:44
fabbioneif you can't respect b) you will block us on working/testing the kernel03:44
fabbionea) it's a bit less important, but if you fork, you will also maintain in the future :)03:45

fabbionei have a couple of interesting commits pending :)03:49
fabbionewe are almost ready to start the build orgy :P03:49
zullike what?03:49
fabbioneall the patches are cleandup03:49
fabbionemissing a few bits here and there03:49
fabbioneall the external-drivers have been documented03:49
fabbionebut they still need updates03:50
zulcool...i can update the drivers tonight once i get baz working again03:50
zulshiney new hard drive this weekend :)03:50
fabbionezul: that's an option03:52
fabbioneright now the only external that doesn't apply is inotify03:52
fabbioneso i was thinking to update inotify03:52
fabbioneand start the build orgy on i38603:52
zulyeah 0.22 is supposedly suppose to work03:52
fabbioneand update the drivers after we know that the core kernel can atleast compile03:52
zulbut that is what they said about 0.2103:52
fabbionezul: yes. they talk by revision numbers03:53
zulare you going to try compiling it with gcc 4.003:53
fabbionebut i can reproduce the problem here so it will be easy to check03:53
fabbioneno.. we need to wait the greenlight from doko03:53
zulok..03:53
fabbionehe said that the actual gcc-4.0 pre6 in ubuntu cannot compile the kernel03:53

fabbioneboth ways work fine with me03:54
fabbionewe need to do much work before we can really switch to gcc-403:54
fabbionelike getting the new upstream working with the actual gcc03:54

fabbionesorry.. i was busing updating the config04:29
zulnot probs04:29
fabbionetry to use baz from the archive i pasted before04:29
fabbionethey might have broke compatibility or something04:29
zulill update my baz tonight then04:30

fabbionei am building here :)04:30
fabbionejust for fun04:30

T-Bonelamont : ping...04:30
fabbioneT-Bone: of the 3 hppa patches... 04:31
T-Boneditch them all04:31
fabbionecan i kill all of them and just grab the new one from cvs?04:31
T-Bonecorrect04:31
fabbioneok04:31
fabbionebut only after i will have sparc kernels...04:31
T-BoneLOL04:31
fabbioneright now i am owning hppa :)04:31
fabbioneMUHA MUHA MUHA04:31
T-Bonei hate you, you silly little kernel caporal of my bollocks ;)04:32
T-Bonefabbione : in any case, this won't bring universe to sparc ;o)04:33

jbaileyT-Bone: Erm, for Ubuntu or Grub2?04:35
T-Bonejbailey : for ubuntu. Grub2 is none of my concerns ;o)04:35
T-Bonewe have palo... ;o)04:35
jbaileyRight.  And I don't know enough about hppa stuff to port grub2 to that yet.  Perhaps that can be an autumn project.04:36
jbaileyI'm more likely to do ia64 first.04:36
T-Boneyou're the SM type, right? :)04:36
jbaileySure.  Now decided if I'm a top or a bottom...04:36
T-BoneLOL04:36
jbailey;)04:37
T-Bonegiven the palo hack, i doubt it'll be easy to port something else to hppa :)04:37
T-Bones/the// s/hack/hackyness/04:37
fabbionei am impressed.. it's compiling the modules!04:38
jbaileyDude, can anything be uglier than booting on ia32?04:38
T-Bonehackery even. Call it whatever you like04:38
fabbionewithout any failure.. yet04:38
T-Bonejbailey : fair enough ;)04:38
T-Bonefabbione : that's sparc? :)04:39
jbaileyfabbione: At some point I want to talk to you about sparc and glibc. =)04:39
fabbioneT-Bone: not yet04:40
fabbionejbailey: anytime...04:41
fabbioneeven now.. if you want to04:41
jbaileyIn an hour would be better for me.04:42
fabbionehmm in one hour i might be off...04:42
jbaileyOkay, now then makes as much sense as any other time. =)04:43
fabbioneT-Bone: in anycase i would kid too much about sparc and universe.. because hoary it's building pretty fast and breezy isn't open yet04:44
jbaileyI have 2.3.5 packages up here.  I haven't finished pushing all the Ubuntu modifications to it yet, but a question I have for each arch is which threading libraries to enable.04:44
=== T-Bone contemplates SM-glibc-bondage on the way
zulis there a meeting this week?04:44
fabbionejbailey: well is it only question to try to build and test or to do something specific?04:44
T-Bonefabbione : yeah yeah. Thing is, we're about 95% up to date on hppa, and could get maybe 1 more point with KDE building ;)04:44
fabbionezul: 204:44
fabbioneT-Bone: see... i have kde builded :)04:45
zul2?!04:45
jbaileyI have a bias towards moving people to nptl online on as fast of a schedule as they can cope with, since: 1) LinuxThreads is considered deprecated by upstream.  2) The hacks to make both LT and NPTL are not supported by upstream and keep breaking in subtle ways. 3) It's far nicer to only have one threading library to support, especially considering that otherwise it automagically detects which one it should04:45
jbailey use.04:45
fabbionezul: one tomorrow for the CC/TB and one in 2 days TB/CC04:45
T-Bonefabbione : i'd be glad to ask a few questions about that then. What i'm facing looks mostly like a circdep issue04:45
fabbionecan't remember the order :)04:45
zulbleah..04:45
fabbionejbailey: i see.. but what can i do to help?04:46
zulhmmm...im might not make them..oh well04:46
zulfabbione: yeah it was the baz verison i was using04:46
jbaileyThe biggest blocker against NPTL is usually commerical software.  Folks with precompiled binaries that either make assumptions about threading layout, or use extern int errno, which nptl can't support (#include <errno.h> good)04:46
fabbioneT-Bone: well i kept kicking back the packages04:46
jbaileyfabbione: Tell me what the right thing for your pet arch is. =)04:46
fabbionejbailey: well afaik there are not many binary only drivers for sparc04:47
jbaileyNot drivers, applications.04:47
fabbioneso i think it is pretty safe to move04:47
fabbionei mean applications sorry04:47
fabbioneat least not that i am aware of04:47
T-Bonefabbione : that's waht i'm doing. Yet, it complains that kdelibs aren't installed (which they are), and looking at config.log, it seems that the culprit is some QT lib missing04:47
fabbioneusually companies that produce applications for sparc, run on slowlaris04:48
jbailey'kay.  I should receive a sparc box later this week, I can do some testing.04:48
jbaileyI don't know how iBCS interacts with the threading system.04:48
fabbioneT-Bone: /var/cache/apt/archives is your enimy04:48
T-Bonefabbione : it's being regularly cleaned by me and the autobuilder.04:48
jbaileyI think it's just a syscall wrapper, isn't it?  In which case Solaris emulation shouldn't be affected.04:48
MithrandirT-Bone: is nekkid up?04:48
fabbionejbailey: to be hounest, i love sparc, but i don't know enough to play with libc and stuff like that04:48
fabbioneit's too deep for me04:48
fabbioneT-Bone: well.. do you ever update the chroot?04:49
jbaileyfabbione: It's more the how prevalent is commercial applications.  The Free software world has already figured out generally how to cope.04:49
fabbioneT-Bone: and apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade must be done regularly04:49
fabbionejbailey: tbh for ubuntu we can switch as test platform04:50
fabbionewe are not even officially released with sparc04:50
fabbionego ahead and do your changes04:50
jbaileyfabbione: That would be lovely.04:50
fabbionewe can still be the drive arch for it04:50
T-Bonefabbione : i do that too :P04:50
jbaileyThanks.  I'll test it enough to make sure that you at least have bash and apt working ;)04:50
fabbionei really don't mind to kill proprietary applications04:50
fabbionejbailey: i can test in a chroot.. can't i?04:50
jbaileyfabbione: Sure. =)04:50
fabbionejbailey: plus i have an extra partition where i can isntall and run "natively"04:51
jbaileyBut I mean before I hand it to you, I'll make sure of that.04:51
zulheh someone broke the naming scheme04:51

fabbionezul: right!04:51
T-Bonefabbione : give me a few secs, i'll show you the error04:51
fabbionelet's burn T-Bone !04:51
fabbioneT-Bone: no no.. you are the hppa porter.. go figure it yourself :P04:51
fabbioneT-Bone: or now is time to call the oracle because of the experience?04:52
T-Bonezul : that's an *old* patch, when there was no such a thing a a naming scheme. Besides, if you have issues with that patch name, i suggest you discuss it with lamont.04:52
zulheh...04:52
fabbioneahhaa04:52
zulmaybe i will..frog :)04:52
T-Bonezul : bear in mind that lamont is an pyrotechnist and expert in all kinds of explosives ;)04:52
T-Bonefabbione : you're so overconfident ;o)04:53
zulyeah i have to wear my flap jacket around him04:53
T-Bonefabbione : i'll call you the oracle if you can *actually* help me ;)04:53
fabbioneT-Bone: you talk like if you can convince lamont to bomb us....04:53
T-Bonefabbione : i think it's pretty easy to convince lamont to bomb anyone getting in the way of Ubuntu hppa ;o))04:54
fabbioneT-Bone: well fire the error log somewhere04:54
zulT-Bone: is lamont in michigan?04:54
T-Bonefabbione : generating it as I speak :)04:54
fabbioneT-Bone: i guess you don't want a kernel anymore.. do you?04:54
T-Bonezul : lamont is everywhere ;)04:54
T-Bonefabbione : you can't do that. I'll put a contract on your feet (your head ain't worth it) if you do that ;o)04:54

=== T-Bone switches from Iron Maiden to Morcheeba. Quite a hop ;)
zulMaiden rocks..05:06
T-Boneheh. There ain't only Maiden in life. You'd be quite surprised at the range of music i enjoy. Eg, i'm now listening to "A Man Called Adam / Eastern Song", which could be classified as "ambient dub" probably ;)05:08

T-Bonewith hotplug, for a change09:47
T-Boneand since there ain't no kbd driver in the kernel, i'm fucked up09:48
T-Bonejbailey: wouldn't it be possible to have usb drivers loaded on the ramdisk? (that applies for ppc btw, and imho to any machine that has usb-only keyboards)09:49
jbaileyT-Bone: Yup.  Just include them in /etc/mkinitrd/modules for now.09:51
jbaileyT-Bone: I do that on my ppc64 box for testing initrd stuff.09:52
T-Bonejbailey: i don't understand why this has been changed again. I already had that problem, already pointed out how *stupid* it was not to have kbd working at that point, and IIRC the default was changed to something more coherent. I guess the change has been reverted at some point09:52
T-Bonejbailey: i'd love to include them, but for that to happen i'd need to have control over my machine, which i haven\t09:53

T-Bone(which wasn't very good, but at least much better than the present case, for i'll have to burn an ia64 cd, go into rescue mode and toy around09:54
jbaileyBut there's no reason to need them built-in.  The right thing is that your initrd should always include those bits.09:54
T-Boneof course it should09:54
