zulwe arent that psycho02:39
kylemi can understand why it's a desireable place to live, it's just far. ;-)02:39
zulwell its close to the corel center so when they turn on their power full blast we get blackouts02:40
kylemdo you work downtown?02:40
kylemyikes.02:40
zulyep albert at bank...02:40
zuli rather work downtown then in kanata02:41

kylemlamont, heh.02:42
zulfreaking pinteric02:42
kylemi'm just relieved he didn't get elected.02:42
lamontkylem: mind you, it failed to apply :-(02:42
kylemlamont, ouch. i blame fabbione.02:42
zulheh02:42
lamontkylem: well, the fact that it applies on top of all the other patches, makes it really unsurprising02:43
=== lamont keeps the directory this time. :-)
kylemlamont, lol.02:43
lamontkylem: turns out this one belongs completely to the parisc crowd02:46
lamontEXTRAVERSION, specifically02:46
kylemhow so?02:46
lamontwell, the file says 'EXTRAVERSION = ' and the parisc patch says 'rc2' -> rc2-pa102:47

lamonthppa testbuild running, fwiw04:44
fabbionelamont: rocking.. the EXTRAVERSION needs to be set to =04:44
fabbioneunfortunatly this is the 2nd hack required to build these version asymmetric kernels04:44
lamontfabbione: yeah04:44
fabbioneand if you notice is the 2nd file modified in the .diff.gz04:45
fabbionebecause we can't patch it only at build time04:45
fabbionelamont: do you have the kernel-team admin passwd?04:47
lamontyes04:47
fabbionelamont: ok, are you administering it?04:47
lamontno worries here04:48
fabbionebecause i noticed a lot of subscription notifications04:48
fabbionebut i can't do anything..04:48
zulhey fabbione 04:48
fabbionehey zul04:49
zulfor external drivers that are not a patch i take i create the directory and all the config file goodiness04:49
zuler Kconfig04:50
lamontfabbione: I don't see that I have to actually _do_ anything with the subscriptions...04:50
lamontor is that not true, and I'm just clueless?04:50
fabbionelamont: no idea..04:52
fabbionelamont: you didn't commit anything for hppa, did you?04:54
zulfabbione: new arch for me is at http://zulinux.homelinux.net/arch04:55
fabbionelamont: i did update the sparc buildd to handle hoary-security and hoary-updates04:55
fabbionelamont: would you mind to double check with me if i did something horribly stupid?04:55
fabbionezul: ah ok04:55
=== zul applied for another job today..
fabbioneactually.. i can't find how to deregister the old archive04:57
zulcouldnt you remove it from your ~/.arch-params?04:57

zulhmmm...maybe i should install apache05:00
fabbionemaybe? :)05:00
zulperhaps05:01
zulare you running 2.6.11.90 now?05:03
zulhmmm....the domain is not resolving..05:04
fabbioneyes.. on 2 machines05:05
lamontfabbione: you want me to check in the abi files for -1 as well? :-)05:05
zuland how is it running?05:05
fabbionelamont: keep them handy for -2 yes05:05
fabbionezul: i don'y really know.. i just installed it yesterday evening and it still didn't crash..05:05
lamontfabbione: I could just check them into -1, and then they'd be there, no?05:05
fabbionezul: have to test idiotify later05:06
zulheh good luck05:06
fabbionelamont: nope.. they will be wiped away at the first make clean05:06
fabbioneamd64 building05:12
fabbioneppc and ia64 starting now05:12
fabbioneguys i was thinking to add a precompiler for control.stub05:13
zulwhy?05:14
lamontfabbione: yeah05:14
fabbioneif [ -e debian/experimental ] ; then add_very_long_experimental_note_in_description; fi05:14
fabbionezul: to be able to add or remove something from all the descriptions without having to manually edit it05:15
zulah ok good idea05:15
lamontyeah - I guess it's forgivable05:15
zulright new version of cpad..ill put it my arch tomorrow...im off to bed05:21
zullater..05:22
fabbionelamont: anyway this is only a prebuild to see if the main kernel compiles05:23
fabbioneabi files will be useless05:24
fabbionewe still need to update all the drivers05:24
fabbioneand add the new ones we want in05:24
fabbionelike ipv6 statefull firewall05:24
lamontyes05:24
fabbionethat will bring new config options and stuff like that05:24

fabbioneyeah sure :)05:40
fabbionesince it touches a lot everywhere you can keep calling it pariscpa :)05:41
fabbioneor whatever you prefer05:41
fabbionei really don't minf05:41
fabbionemind05:41
fabbionei want to keep a strict naming for the generic patches05:41

=== lamont merges back to the trunk
lamontfabbione: dch changed it to my changelog entry - I'm assuming you'll change it back before upload or some such02:37
lamontactually, looks like I'll get a conflict out of the merge, you busy boy you02:37
fabbionelamont: it depends a lot what you changed :)02:38
fabbionei am committing a lot02:38
lamontno conflict.. very odd02:38
fabbionenah.. it's not odd02:38
fabbionei didn't touch anything in hppa02:39
=== lamont was thinknig debian/changelog
fabbionedid you do a baz update?02:39
lamontsi02:39
fabbioneok02:39
=== fabbione updates too
lamontbut I did the work on my branch several hours ago02:39
fabbionebaz update 02:40
fabbione* tree is already up to date02:40
fabbioneit's not on main yet.. is it?02:40

fabbioneok02:40
fabbioneit's grabbing02:40
fabbioneyup02:41
fabbioneno conflicts at all02:41
fabbionebut we will have to rebuild other times02:42
fabbioneat least after i finish to update all the external drivers02:42
lamontfabbione: sure02:43
fabbionei suggest that while we work on 2.6.11.9X we just ignore all the abi stuff02:44
fabbioneit is enough not to upload l-r-m02:44
fabbionedo we want to allign the configs across arch before this release or after?02:45
fabbionewe have time for breezy anyway02:45
T-Bone_lamont : have you fetched all of archive.slashdirt.org btw?02:52
T-Bone_lamont : was considering that i could rebuild (parts of) main if needed. The autobuilder is idle02:52
=== zul [~chuck@198.62.158.205] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
zulhey02:58
lamontT-Bone_: not recently, so I assume the answer is probably no02:59
lamontfetching now02:59
T-Bone_lamont : ok. I've built everything that could be relatively easily built. 94.77% up to date03:00
T-Bone_there's the kde mystery though03:01
fabbioneYAY for ipw2200 and ipw2100!03:01
fabbionethey are out of sync at upstream!03:01
T-Bone_lamont : in any case, if you want me to build whatever's missing in main with a builder that has only main in sources.list, i can do that. In anycase, i'll be finishing rackmounting the new machines tomorrow at school, and I'll wait for your input to set them up03:02
fabbioneT-Bone_: ah you didn't use the ogre model?03:05
T-Bone_fabbione : given the *very* limited input i had, i used what i could setup by myself, mostly03:06
=== fabbione sends T-Bone_ back to debootstrapping phase
T-Bone_fabbione : you see, i'm not a buildd guru and that thing is not so well documented, so to speak03:06

T-Bone_;)03:06
fabbioneuhuhuh03:06
zuloh behave03:06
fabbionehppa is d00m3d03:07
T-Bone_fabbione : it doesn't matter for universe03:07
fabbioneit does for main03:07
T-Bone_that's why lamont is only letting his 'main' packages in03:07
T-Bone_and that's why there's my 'unofficial' (ugly) archive that has everything in it03:07
zulholy crap fabbione you been busy03:07
T-Bone_fabbione : truth told, given we are now 3 people having hppa ubuntu running, we don't care much that our build-deps are not what they should be03:08
fabbionezul: i haven't finished yet...03:08
fabbionei am in the middle of ieeee ipw2100 and ipw2200 updates03:08
fabbionethat are almost like circular build-deps03:08
=== T-Bone_ is now known as T-Bone
T-Bonefabbione : now if you wanna write docs for the ogre model, i'd gladly read and use it :P03:10
zuli updated cpad last night and a ppp-mppe 03:11
fabbionezul: ok03:11
fabbionegood.. do they compile+03:11
fabbione?03:11
zulwas going to try this morning03:11
fabbioneT-Bone: it's way too easy to get you.. it's not even funny03:11
T-Boneif you say so03:12
fabbionezul: anyway right now the build will fail on ipw220003:12
zuland afs03:12
zulhow come?03:12
fabbioneafs ?03:12
zulamiga fs03:12
fabbionezul: because ieeee ipw2100 and ipw2200 depends on each other and i just finished ipw210003:13
fabbionei need to ipdate ipw220003:13
zulah03:13
fabbioneasfs <-03:13
zulthats what i meant03:13
T-Bonefabbione : truth is there are a couple of things that are *really* pissing me off. ia64 is one of them, wasting time because of lack of info is another, and being slapped because I haven't done something right *because of said lack of doc* is probably the biggest one ;P03:14
fabbioneT-Bone: the latter is the funniest :P03:15
fabbionewell right.. it was a long time i didn't bitch about ia6403:15
zulT-Bone: do you want the new S.O.A.D mp3?03:16
fabbioneT-Bone: mind to update the config for 2.6.12?03:16
fabbione:P03:16
T-Bonefor you maybe. It's really getting on my nerves, given the *huge* amount of time i've spent/wasted in the process03:16
fabbioneT-Bone: nah.. i already did it03:16
fabbioneia64 is up and runnign with 2.6.1203:16
fabbionei would be more glad to get the installer working on it03:16
fabbionebut there is nothing i can do for it03:16
T-Bonesince last time i tried ia64 it was b0rken, i don't care much03:16
fabbionesince i don't have racks and racks of ia6403:16
fabbioneT-Bone: that's the point.. you need to fix it as ia64 porter...03:17

T-Bonei don't have racks and racks, i have a rack, that's different. I can provide access. But I won't do anything without community backup, that i've been unable to get so far03:17
=== T-Bone contemplates bashing a few instutions on public m-ls btw
fabbioneinstutions ?03:18
T-Bonefabbione : let me enlight you: I'm *NOT* an ia64 porter03:18

fabbionei didn't write that page it overnight :)03:21
T-Bone(of said page)03:21
T-Bonei know you didn't. It's remnant of some glorious past era03:21

fabbioneso i am at 66.666666666666666666666666666666666666%03:23
T-Bonethis has told me the hard way that one should cover his ass before doing anything, and has drastically reduced my faith in the "process"03:23
zulfabbione: have you fixed debian dir from being deleted?03:25
fabbionezul: of course....03:27
fabbionethat's the first thing i do on each major upstream03:27
fabbionezul: but i guess you still have to understand where the fix is :P03:27
zul:P03:27
=== fabbione grins
fabbionezul: you will notice that in all our kernel releases there is one file in the kernel tree that is patches from outside debian/patches03:28
fabbionethere is a reason for that :P03:28
fabbioneand that's the same reason why i told you need to get all the stuff from people AND only after to replace the debian dir from baz03:29
fabbionelamont said that i was evil not telling you03:29
