lamontfabbione: will a simple dist-upgrade do the trick?05:26
lamont119 upgraded, 11 newly installed, 0 to remove and 6 not upgraded.05:27
fabbionelamont: if you have enough breezy pkgs yes.. but you can just install that specifically.. it's a _all.deb05:27
fabbionemx|gone: it depends...05:27
lamontThe following packages have been kept back:05:27
lamont  apt dselect html2text libosp4 sp tetex-bin05:27
mx|gonefabbione: who would I ask to update the patch to a recent svn snapshot?05:28
fabbionemx|gone: no svn snapshots.. only releases..05:28
lamonthrm... ew.05:28
mx|gonefabbione: damn... the last release has some problems that are fixed in the snapshot...05:28
lamontwhat gcc are we using to build the kernel?05:28
fabbionemx|gone: but usually you file an "enanchement" bug05:29
fabbionelamont: gcc-3.405:29
lamontdpkg -l gcc-3.405:29
lamontNo packages found matching gcc-3.4.05:29
lamonthrm... gonna fix that05:29
lamontthe only thing bothering me is that the gcc-3.4 we have generally available for hppa is from hoary (3.4.3-9ubuntu3)05:29
fabbionewell for hppa there is gcc-3.4-hppa or something..05:29
lamontso don't do any user-space builds. :-)05:30
fabbionei am not going to :)05:30
fabbionei need to build the kernel05:30
lamontdevel/linux-source-2.6.12_2.6.12-3.3: Uploaded by buildd+bld-18 [optional:out-of-date] 05:31
lamontbut seems to need NEW love05:31
mx|gonefabbione: ok, later today I'm going to submit a patch to the linux-wlan-ng guys that will make it work with iwconfig completely... if that gets accepted, would you guys still need a release?05:31
fabbionemx|gone: yes05:31
mx|gonesuck, ok05:31
lamontfabbione: dist-upgrading now05:33
fabbionelamont: no rush.. i am done for the day05:34
fabbioneand i will crash it tomorrow :)05:34
lamonthehe05:35
lamontdist-upgrade included kernel-wedge_2.05ubuntu1, iirc05:35
fabbioneyou probably want to warn your friends that i am going to push the cluster a bit :P05:35
fabbionejust in case nagios will make the machines look redish ;)05:35
fabbionejbailey: i have been doing more thinking about initramfs modules shipped directly by our kernel05:38
fabbionejbailey: i don't think it's a good idea to do it05:38
fabbioneor better.. there are some cons i didn't think about05:38
fabbionelike enlarging the package of N MB05:39
fabbionethat's seems to be quite a lot05:39
fabbionein order to make these initramfs files we will need to change make-kpkg...05:40
fabbionebecuase at least custom compiled kernels should have the same treatment05:40
fabbionebut than you hit a bigger issue05:40
fabbionewhat if driver foo in our kernel is either compiled in or not available in custom kernel?05:41
fabbionewhat the initramfs creation tool is going to do in that case?05:41
fabbione(since we feed it with some lists)05:41
=== jbailey sharpens a stick and goes on a rampage against all those with custom kernels.
fabbionejbailey: i agree with you, but there are some cases i am thinking of custom kernels where the user actually might want to be able to add drivers to the initramfs05:46
fabbionewe need to try to make these operations simpler05:46
fabbioneinstead of more complicated05:46
jbaileyRight.05:47
jbaileyAdding drivers to the initramfs is as easy as adding modules.05:47
jbaileyerr05:47
jbaileynames to /etc/mkinitramfs/modules05:47
jbaileyBut it doesn't solve the annoyance of having to add to make-kpkg05:47
fabbioneexactly05:48
fabbionei am really not 100% sure what's the best in the long run, but i think for breezy it's better we keep initramfs as close as possible to initrd05:48
fabbioneit will give people time to look at it and see 1) what problems it has 2) how it can evolve05:49
fabbione3) and clearly how much better it is compared to initrd ;)05:49

fabbionei have seen a bunch of those in universe too05:57
jbaileyRight, those are all broken applications.05:57
jbaileyI'll fix iptables, and do up a FAQ sheet for the universe bits.05:58
lamontwoot05:58
jbaileyIncluding config.h is bad.05:58
fabbioneincluding kernel headers in apps is BAD05:59
fabbionefull.05:59
jbaileyMmm..  I only half agree.05:59
jbaileyIf you're using kernel facilities directly, using kernel headers makes sense.05:59
jbaileyIf only the kernel would provide a decent set.05:59
fabbionejbailey: linus doesn't agree with you :)05:59
fabbioneeven for that half05:59
fabbioneand i tend to agree with him :)06:00
jbaileyRight.  Linus has said that there's no promises in the userspace to kernel space ABI, which is a bit frightening.06:00
fabbioneexactly.. kernel headers changes a lot06:00
fabbioneso it might build today06:00
fabbionetomorrow is broken again06:00
jbaileyShould - who should provide the headers then?06:01
jbaileyCertainly not glibc, it's not providing the facility.06:01
fabbioneglibc ?06:01
jbaileyAlso, that doesn't allow for systems using other C libraries.06:01
jbaileyThe only thing might be if glibc were to provide a wrapper for every syscall that iptables, iproute and friends want to call.06:02
fabbioneanyway.. it's time to go and start preparing dinner06:02
jbaileyBut that's a bit excessive.06:02
jbaileyEnjoy your dinner. =)06:02
fabbionejbailey: tbh this is one of the few things i don't really care...06:02
fabbionegiven that different userland upstreams can keep up with the kernel..06:03
fabbionewhen they break i blame upstream for userlend06:03
fabbioneland even06:03
jbaileyfabbione: Right.  But this is where the conflict is.  We can't say that including kernel headers is bad until someone is stepping forward to say "Link against library FOO with headers FOO instead" and noone has done that.06:03
fabbionejbailey: i am not sure.. i think linus and other did that.. but after the usual 2/3 messages out of the endless thread i get bored and delete the thread06:04
fabbioneit's a topic that shows up at least once a month on lkml06:04
jbaileyI haven't seen anyone doing that.  I wish they would.  All I see is a hot potato being tossed around.06:05
fabbione:)06:07
jbaileyMmm potatoes.06:07
=== jbailey is getting hungry.
fabbioneyesterday i did grill peppers, obergine and squash...06:07
fabbionewith a bit of garlic and oil of olive...06:08
fabbione(on top)06:08
jbaileyWe finally got a stove on friday.06:08
jbaileyIt's hard to cook in 30 weather.06:08
jbaileyHopefully we'll get a bbq this fall for grilling.06:08
fabbionetoday i am up for tomatoes with rice and meat with cheese topping...06:08
fabbionebut i think you can make easily a vegan variant out of it06:09
jbaileyI'll probably do a fruit salad and a tofu scramble for lunch.06:09
jbaileySure. =)  I'm good at those.06:09
jbaileyWe'll have to have you over for dinner next time you're in Montral. =)06:09
fabbionejbailey: can you actually eat rice, can't you?06:09
jbaileyYup06:09
jbaileyI usually have rice at least once a day.06:09
fabbionethan do this:06:09
fabbionetake the tomatoes, open only the top06:09
fabbioneempty it and keep the inside06:09
fabbioneboil some rice06:10
fabbionefry some mushrooms...06:10
fabbionemix the rice, the mushrooms and the inside of the tomatoes06:10
Lathiattake some frogs legs06:10
fabbionemix them very well06:10
fabbioneand fill the tomatoes again with that06:11
fabbioneput in the oven....06:11
fabbioneenjoy06:11
jbaileyAny spices in with the mixture?06:11
fabbionethe best would be with mozarella on top, but well...06:11
fabbionejbailey: you can use rosmarine and basilicum06:11
jbaileyCool.06:11
fabbioneperhaps i would put rosmarine together with the rice mix06:12
fabbioneand fresh basicilum on top (instead of the cheese)06:12
jbaileyAngie dislikes mushrooms, but I suspect that diced aubergine might be nice in there.06:12
fabbionejbailey: i am pretty sure you can use whatever veggy you like best in the mixture...06:12
jbaileyThat sounds terribly good. =)06:12
fabbionetry and let me know :)06:13
fabbionei eat them with meat, this is a fast omnivor2vegan regexp ;)06:14
fabbionebut it might actually work :)06:14

lamontfabbione: gsyprf11's chroot updated06:16
lamontfabbione: btw, redhat-cluster-suite links shared libs with ld instead of gcc.  bad R-C-S.  Either that needs to be fixed, or you need to buy jbailey a pallet of his favorite, which might _still_ not be enough to fix the issue.06:28

fabbionei can try to flush the ccache..08:51
