z3k3_pheonixhello anyone here?01:21
z3k3_pheonixAnyhow, when someone comes online, I'm wondering if there is a howto for patching in the debian-pre1-2.6.11.91 into the 2.6.11 source and compiling?  I really want to help bug testing, but just need a hand with some of the basics.01:24
z3k3_pheonixthanks in advance!01:24
z3k3_pheonixfyi: i followed the instructions at http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/KernelBazNotes, apt-get source linux-kernel-2.6.11, I'm just not sure how to merge the baz archive into the kernel source. 01:26
z3k3_pheonix:)01:26
fabbionethat's not the rigth thing to do01:27
z3k3_pheonixwhere am I going wrong?01:28
fabbione2.6.11 in the archive is not supported and there is no baz archive for it01:28
fabbione2.6.11.91 needs an orig that is not being published yet01:28
z3k3_pheonixbtw: this is Chris Fazekas I just signed up to the devel list. :)01:28
dilingerheh, i wonder how slow hct would be for kernel patches01:29
fabbionedilinger: i did put a requirement to have the kernel in hct/baz :)01:29
z3k3_pheonixif 2.6.11.91 is not being published, what is the most current kernel on baz for "testing"?01:29
dilingerfabbione: nice01:30
fabbionez3k3_pheonix: sorry i am behind with the mailing list01:30
fabbionez3k3_pheonix: that is the most crackful kernel you can run atm01:30
jbaileydilinger: How many kernel patches do you guys have?01:30
jbaileydilinger: I think one of his test cases was glibc with 90 odd patches.01:30
dilingera lot?01:30
fabbionebut if it is not uploaded in the archive it means that it is really unstable01:30
fabbionejbailey: around 50?01:30
dilingeri had 150 patches for 2.6.10-as01:31
jbaileySo in the same ballpark anyway - speaks well for it holding up.01:31
dilingerand then debian and ubuntu had patches on top of that01:31
fabbionedilinger: i drop a lot of them with rm stolen-*01:31
z3k3_pheonixfabbione: I would like to attempt to compile 2.6.11.91.  I am currently running 2.6.10-5-386 01:31
z3k3_pheonixI have a new CPU that needs a workout!01:32
fabbionez3k3_pheonix: i am not happy to give out that kind of crack just for compilation. If you are interested in real testing good, but you need to be ready to deal with real breakage01:32
fabbionei know it compiles :)01:32
fabbionebbl01:32
z3k3_pheonixlol, I'm interested in real breakage. :)  I like carnage.01:32
z3k3_pheonixI want to start by getting bleeding, then work on adding some patches to fix some issues with new devices01:33
z3k3_pheonixi need to learn, and just need a little push in the right direction.01:33
fabbionez3k3_pheonix: ok.. right now we are all busy at the conference in australia. we will be back on monday/tuesday :)01:34
fabbionenothing personal. we are just really busy01:34
z3k3_pheonixi completely understand.  enjoy the conference, I look forward to helping when the time is right.  :)01:36

zulbut hey you conference people02:00
cchowdy ho. go conference02:10
fabbionehey zul02:36
fabbionehi cc02:36
zulhey fabbione how goes it?02:36
fabbionei am tired to death.. jetlag is killing me02:36
zuldoh...you should have left earlier then :)02:37
fabbionehttp://udu.wiki.ubuntu.com/LinuxKernelRoadmap02:37
fabbionethis is the draft for the kernel we are working with atm02:37
zulits been updated since yesterday?02:37
fabbionewe will have it finalized soon02:37
cchi fabbione 02:37
=== cc has to go read the draft and edit it
ccthat'll be soon02:37
fabbioneguys: don't edit it right away02:37
fabbionewe need to get it finalized02:38
fabbioneor otherwise do it right now02:38
fabbionebecause i am going to review it with doko in 10 minutes02:38
fabbioneand push it for approval02:38
ccfabbione: well, one of you need to rock up here and come get it reviewerd02:38
ccreviewed i mean02:38
ccit doesnt go for approval till its an EditedSpecification02:38
fabbionecc: we are going to do the final review in 10 minutes02:39
zulxen and uml out of the box isnt that a bit overkill?02:39
ccfabbione: ok. then come here to sublime 3 and get it checked02:39
ccuml should die?!? xen currently only works with 2.6.11 btw02:39
fabbionecc: yes.. that's what we need to do :)02:39
fabbionecc: i didn't realize you were one of the techwriter :)02:39
ccfabbione: yeah, lucky me. 02:39
fabbionecc: we need to add only a timeline to it02:40
zulfabbione: did you have a look at that url i sent you, the third party drivers list?02:40
fabbioneso that we can set some kind of deadlines02:40
fabbionezul: where? 02:40
fabbionei haven't been on irc much02:40
zuli think i pm you it this morning or something02:40
fabbionecan you paste it again?02:40
zulsure...gimme a sec02:40
zulits mandrake's but we could something similar in the wiki http://mandrake.contactel.cz/people/svetljo/mandrake/kernel/3rdparty_drivers.html02:41
ccintro/rationale needs to be updated02:41
zulbk snapshot should git snapshot ;)02:42
fabbionecc: that hasnt been touched at all..02:42
fabbionezul: the agenda is what has been discussed. the list above it is the outcome02:42
ccwhy gcc3.4 ? gcc4 builds the kernel, just fine i'm sure. i'm running a gcc4 built 2.6.12 kernel now02:42
fabbionecc: no it doesn't02:42
zulah ok02:42
ccfabbione: works on fedora!02:42
fabbionecc: dude.. i am telling you that it doesn't... 02:43
fabbionecc: not everything we havein  our kenrel is gcc-4 ready02:43
zulcc: gcc4 doesn work yet02:43
zulwith our kernel at least02:43
fabbionealso gcc-4 miscompile some partsof the kernel still02:43
fabbioneso it might run if you are lucky02:43
ccfabbione: i haven't looked at ubuntu's kernel (are there extra patches?)02:44
ccqemu isn't gcc-4 ready, that i'm sure of02:44
fabbionecc: yes. plenty of external patches02:44
ccfabbione: ah, okay, thats a problem then... 02:44
fabbioneok we are going to review the last bits02:44
fabbionebbl02:44
zulok02:44
z3k3_pheonixzul are you still around?02:45
zulkind of02:45
z3k3_pheonixi'm trying to add in a dpatch, keeps giving a ... failed during compile.. think i could give you some info and you could give me a hand?02:46
=== solomarv [~rouslan@terkin.graham.clarkson.edu] has left #ubuntu-kernel []
zulsure02:47
z3k3_pheonixk I grabbed the patch from here02:47
z3k3_pheonixhttp://lkml.org/lkml/2005/2/7/11702:47
z3k3_pheonixadded it into a vt6410.patch file.02:47
zulokie dokie02:47
z3k3_pheonixran something like this02:47
z3k3_pheonixdpatch patch-template -p "via-vt-6410" "VIA VT6410 IDE RAID Controller without raid functionality" < VT6410.2611.patch > debian/patches/VT6410.dpatch02:47
zulyeah im working on the same patch right now..its conflicting with an earlier patch02:48
z3k3_pheonixlol.. where does dpkg dump the errs in more detail?02:48
z3k3_pheonixapplying patch VT6410 to ./ ... failed.02:48
z3k3_pheonixis kinda vague02:48
zuldebian/patched/<name of patch>.dpatch.failed02:48
zulits failing because of this patch --> drivers-ide_make-drivers-as-modules02:49
z3k3_pheonixbecause it offsets it?02:49
zulbecause it modifies the viac8xx.c file02:49
zulso you have to get a clean source add the patch to the origin and re-diff02:50
z3k3_pheonixok, will dl 2.6.11 source now from kernel.org02:50
zuldont..02:50
z3k3_pheonix?02:50
zulwe arent using 2.6.1102:50
zulhttp://people.ubuntulinux.org/~fabbione02:51
z3k3_pheonixoh, what are you using now?02:51
z3k3_pheonixwoah, so were working on 2.6.12 now?02:51
z3k3_pheonixi'm kinda new to this.. 02:51
zulthere is a linux-kernel* there...that is what we are using02:51
zulbut now i have to go spend time with my wife bbl02:52
z3k3_pheonixok.  b4 u go.  should I still make a clean diff from the 2.6.12 off linux.org?02:52
z3k3_pheonixor am I way off base02:52
z3k3_pheonix:)02:52
zulway off base..02:52
z3k3_pheonixha ha02:52
z3k3_pheonixok then.. have fun02:53
zulwhat you do is the following..02:53
zul1. Download the files02:53
zul2. dpkg-soruce -x linux-source-2.6.12_2.6.11.91-1.dsc02:53
zul3. cd linux-source-2.6.11-2.6.11.91 02:53
zul4. rm -rf debian02:53
zul5. baz get kernel-team@ubuntu.com--2005/kernel-debian--pre1--2.6.11.91 02:54
zulfini02:54
zul...i had to learn the hard way...*smack* fabbione 02:54

z3k3_pheonixk.. thanks.. chow02:54
fabbionecc: is tfheen up there?03:31
ccfabbione: no, he isn't in this room03:32
fabbionecc: thanks03:32
ccfabbione: kernel thing still being edited?03:33
fabbionecc: no. that spurious medium priority in the middle of the page was a wrong copy/paster03:39
fabbionecc: go ahead and let me know03:39
ccfabbione: ok, will rea dit soonish03:39

z3k3_pheonixok04:00
z3k3_pheonixi made a new diff, not sure if it works, cuse I cant figure out how to compile now with the .91 stuff..04:01
z3k3_pheonixyou want the new patch?04:01
zulsure..04:02
zuljust send me a link to where i can get it04:02
z3k3_pheonixok 1 min04:02
z3k3_pheonixhttp://www.fazekas.net/via-vt6410.new.patch04:03
z3k3_pheonixin your list of steps.. could you tell me what step 6 and 7... are?  when i do the baz get, it makes a folder, but from there I'm stumped, do i recreate the debian folder, copy the patches in there and then re-compile?04:04
z3k3_pheonixerr.. compile04:05
zuloops...should be baz get kernel-team@ubuntu.com--2005/kernel-debian--pre1--2.6.11.91 debian04:05
z3k3_pheonixahh. that makes more sense.. :)04:06
z3k3_pheonixnext patch I'll be working on is http://seclists.org/lists/linux-kernel/2005/Apr/0339.html04:07
z3k3_pheonixthats if it hasn't been done already04:07
fabbionecc: did you review the LinuxKenrelRoadMap?04:09
zulfabbione: its final now?04:09
fabbioneyeah04:09
fabbionebut not approved yet04:09
ccfabbione: do you need another BOF for it?04:10

ccfabbione: ok, rocking04:10
fabbionecc: do you want me to come next room and lart you a bit?04:10
fabbione:)04:10
cchow many sessions have you had btw?04:10
cconly 1?04:10
zuli pay to see that04:10
fabbione2 discussion sessions, 1 for compliting the draft04:10
fabbionecompleting04:11
ccok, cool04:11
zuli remember seeing a patch called lowmem for 386 i thought i saved it04:11
fabbionecc: i am on the way to your room so we can review them together, ok?04:11
ccfabbione: EditedSpecification04:11
ccfabbione: it looks sane. goals are achievable. i didn't know that there was no SMP support out-of-the-box04:12
fabbionecc: approved from you*? :)04:12
fabbionecc: ok04:12
fabbionecool04:12
ccfabbione: i can't do ApprovedSpecification (thats for mark or mdz to do)04:12
fabbionecc: http://udu.wiki.ubuntu.com/Xen04:12
zulfabbione: ++ looks reasonable04:12
ccfabbione: i've added myself to being Interested i think, but I can't come to the BOFs :(04:12
fabbioneok guys...04:13
fabbionei am off to go downstairs04:13
zultalk to you later if im still awake04:14
z3k3_pheonixzul, my patch failed.04:14
zulz3k3_pheonix: i know :) its gotta do with a previous patch...guess which one :)04:14
z3k3_pheonixthe ide_make one again?04:15
zulor find out why it did04:15
ccerps, its in my queue. gonna look at ti now04:15
ccfabbione: no more xen sessions?04:15
z3k3_pheonixzul: my dpatch.failed doesn't specifically say why.. just that hunk failed at 79, 617, and 1388.04:16
z3k3_pheonixzul: how are you knowing that it is the previous patch that kills it?04:16
zulz3k3_pheonix: ok now you have to hunt down why it failed04:17
z3k3_pheonixzul: I would.. but not sure how to :(04:17
=== z3k3_pheonix = noob
zulz3k3_pheonix: well you can use grep to look through the ide stuff04:18
z3k3_pheonixah, ok, for other patches that modify the via8204:18
zulyep04:19
z3k3_pheonixso I may have to manually add that previous patch to the via82, then add my patch, and do a diff again?04:19
zulbasically thats one way to do it04:19
zulfabbione: you have email04:22
fabbionezul: checking04:23
fabbionezul: However, it reduces the virtual memory04:24
fabbione+  space of user-space processes from 3GB to 2.75GB, and that may break04:24
fabbione+  some applications.04:24
fabbione+04:24
fabbioneNO NO NO NO04:24
fabbionewe are going for normal HIGHMEM04:24
zuli didnt see that part04:24
fabbionealso.. the same problem might apply to other arches too04:24
zulnm..04:24
=== fabbione grins eveily
zulooh...im buying memory this weekend 04:26
zul$57 for 500 MB04:27
z3k3_pheonixDDR1?04:27

z3k3_pheonixgonna rip it out soon.04:34
zulxset -b in a terminal04:34
z3k3_pheonixis that permenant or do I have to do it every time I open a term?04:35
zulnah...you can put it in a file i forget which atm04:35
z3k3_pheonixok cool.04:35
z3k3_pheonixthx04:35
z3k3_pheonixheadache is already subsiding04:35
z3k3_pheonixdang, i manually patched the via92 with a hack of that ide thing, then manually added the changes, re-diffed, and got same error... time to give up for the night!04:48
