=== zul [~chuck@CPE0006258ec6c2-CM000a73655d0e.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
zulinfinity: i have a bunch of patches to push to you 02:39
lamontfabbione: kernel-package is b0rked03:09
=== lamont floods a little...
lamont       ifneq ($(strip $(architecture)),$(strip $(DEB_BUILD_ARCH)))03:10
lamont-        #KERNEL_CROSS:=$(architecture)-$(strip $(DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS))-03:10
lamont-        KERNEL_CROSS:=$(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE)-03:10
lamont-        ifeq ($(architecture), amd64)03:10

lamont+        #  KERNEL_CROSS:=$(architecture)-$(strip $(DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS))-03:10
lamont+        #endif03:10
lamont       endif03:10
=== lamont looks at the sparc stuff to see how that interacts...
lamonthppa is the only one that actually cross-compiles, yes?03:16
=== lamont pokes zul
lamontfabbione: at any rate, hppa is ftbfs unless KERNEL_CROSS:=$(architecture)-$(strip $(DEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM))-03:22
lamontand then there's the question of what, if anything, sparc needs...03:22
=== lamont will wait until morning to upload kernel-package, so that fabbione can scream
zulwhat did i do now?03:33
zul....its not time for school...03:33
lamontzul: was hoping for an answer on cross-compiling... but it was just a forlorn hope.05:19
fabbionemorning05:38
fabbionelamont: in theory all arches do crosscompile05:38
fabbionethe sections in kernel-package should be per arch.05:38
fabbionebut if it can't find the compiler, i think it's because the gcc symlinks are missing from gcc-*05:39
fabbionebecause it builds in hoary05:39
lamontno.  it's because the compiler is named hppa64-linux-gnu-gcc, not hppa64-linux-gcc05:39
lamontand that was a 3.3->3.4 change, I expect05:40
lamontor rather, it's a breezy binutils change05:40
fabbionenope.. that was hory -> breezy change..05:40
fabbionedoko needs to add the symlinks to gcc05:40
fabbionekyle was telling that in #parisc05:40
lamontit'll be the only package in existance that has them....05:40
fabbioneah05:41
lamontJul 31 15:10:45 <lamont>         /bin/sh: hppa64-linux-objdump: command not found05:41
lamontJul 31 15:10:52 <lamont>        dpkg --contents pool/main/b/binutils/binutils-hppa64_2.16.1-2ubuntu2_hppa.deb | grep objdump05:41

lamontJul 31 15:10:55 <lamont>        which one should change?05:41
lamontJul 31 15:11:58 <doko>  linux-gnu is the new / correct one05:41
fabbionethan ok, the part in kernel-package is arch specific05:41
fabbioneso if you change that it should be ok05:41
lamontright, so does my diff look OK then?05:41
lamontkernel build with that change is running now on hppa, figured I'd let it finish before uploading in any case05:42
fabbionelamont: i need to look at it... gimme a sec :)05:43
fabbionei just woke up because my wife forgot to remove the alarm clock at the first day of vac :)05:43
lamonthehe05:44
fabbionewhere is the offset for that patch?05:44
fabbionelamont: what is the offset for the kernel-package patch you have?05:47
lamont2765 or so05:48
lamont2765 is the first occurance of KERNEL_CROSS in the file05:48
lamontand ${destination_architecture}-${DEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM} is the correct prefix for the cross compiler everywhere05:48
lamontthen it's just a question of whether or not a cross compiler is needed.05:49
lamontnote that the ppc64 ifneq there breaks cross compiling ppc64 kernels on any arch other than ppc.05:49
lamontbut I'm not going to change that today.. :0)05:49
fabbioneneither we care :)05:49
fabbionelamont: KERNEL_CROSS:=$(architecture)-$(strip $(DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS))-05:51
fabbioneso this one should be the only correct one...05:51
fabbionefor all arches..05:51
fabbioneand return?05:51
fabbione$arch-linux- ?05:51
fabbionesparc-linux-gnu-gcc-3.405:52
fabbionei have the -gnu- in the middle05:52
fabbioneroot@vultus5:~ # dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH_OS05:52
fabbionelinux05:52
fabbionewhat adds -gnu ?05:53
lamontDEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM is the right one05:53
dokofabbione: DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE or DEB_BUILD_GNU_SYSTEM05:53
dokogood morning, btw ...05:53
fabbioneoh i see05:53
fabbioneok05:53
fabbioneit seems fine for sparc05:54
fabbionelamont: go ahead..05:54
lamontso my change was to uncomment the line at 2765, and comment out the ones following05:54
lamont:-)05:54
lamontfabbione: ok.  I'll do that after the kernel build finishes in a few hours...05:54
lamontand I wake up again05:54
fabbionelamont: bump the B-D for 6.705:54
fabbionejust to ensure to use the proper one05:54
fabbionethe baz dance is:05:55
fabbione1) start from playgroud05:55
fabbione2) merge into mainline--2.6.1205:55
fabbione3) tag05:55
fabbione4) branch the new pre05:55
fabbione5) switch to the new pre05:55
fabbione6) ./debian/rules startnewrelease (or something)05:55
fabbione7) baz lint05:55
fabbione8) add new files05:56
fabbione9) check the diff05:56
fabbione10) copy the abi05:56
fabbione11) commit05:56
fabbioneif there is no ABI change: baz mv debian/abi/2.6.12-6.6 debian/abi/2.6.12-6.705:56
fabbionebecause you are working on the new 6.8 05:57
fabbionedoko: dude.. i really really need a fixed binutils..06:00
fabbionedo you know if there is any progress?06:00
lamontfabbione: will bump06:01
lamonthehe..  branch with one arg switches.. :)  so 4,5 is one step06:03
lamontfabbione: and i'm not worried about a -6.x ABI transition on ia64, since non-booting->booting is a good change.. :0)(06:04
fabbionelamont: the point is that if there is an abi change, it will FTBFS because of the checker06:04
fabbionethe files must be there06:04
fabbioneotherwise even make clean will fail06:04
lamontah, right06:05
lamonthow do I know there's no abi change? test builds everywhere?06:06
fabbioneso if there is an abi change use the nice target in debian rules: bumpabi (needs fakeroot)06:06
fabbionelamont: you did change only one CONFIG_ on ia64, right?06:06
lamontyrd06:06
lamontyes06:06
fabbioneso just build on ia6406:06
lamontCONFIG_PRINTK_TIMING or some such was fatal06:06
lamontah, ok06:06
fabbioneif it goes trough all of the 4 without screaming and yelling, there is no ABI change06:07
fabbioneotherwise it will tell you that there are symbols mistmatches06:07
lamont /bin/sh: hppa64-linux-objdump: command not found06:07
dokofabbione: no, drow just '*sigh*'ed about it06:07
lamontWTF?06:07
fabbioneit's missing -gnu-06:07
lamontyeah.  that's with my change06:08
fabbionedoko: ok thanks06:08
lamontfabbione: so that's "it's _still_ missing -gnu"06:08
=== lamont is going to go to sleep now..
fabbionegood night lamont06:08

dilingerfabbione: ping07:38
dilingerfabbione: actually, nm07:38
lamont__sigh... hppa's build issue is, well, hppa.  OTOH, kernel-package should still be fixed,dammit07:48
lamont__doko: the ${ARCH}-linux-gnu-objdump change, when does that hit debian?07:48
dokolamont__, it already did07:51
lamont__way cool07:51
lamont__hrm... any patches from anyone for -6.7?07:59
jbaileylamont__: You doing a new kernel?07:59
lamont__yes08:00
jbaileylamont__: I buillt a new kernel on the weekend with the initramfs/dsdt patch in it, but I haven't tested it yet.  When do you need it by?08:00
lamont__so far, it's one semi-non-bug, and hppa/ia64 fixes...08:00
lamont__I want a better excuse... :)08:00
jbaileyThis will be a good enough excuse.  Lemme test the patch. =)08:01
lamont__hrm... 1600 UTC or so... but that's past already... so we have time. :-(08:01
lamont__before midnight UTC-0600 would be way cool08:02
zuli have a bunch of patches in my baz08:11
jbaileyHmm, well the acpi patch doesn't keep it from booting anyway.  Now let's try a DSDT replacement.08:13
jbaileyOld style DSDT replacement still works.08:17
lamont__zul: anything significant?08:25
lamont__anything that wants/needs to get into -6.7?08:25
=== lamont__ lunches for a few
=== Traxer|off [traxer@shell6.powershells.de] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
zullamont__: acerhk support, bug fix, and a couple of patches i stole from git08:49
zuleverything is signifacant ;)08:52
zulheh...redhat is a bit behind the times08:55
=== jbailey does another build with the patch actually applying this time.
jbaileyDear keybuk, why did you taunt us with Wigg&Penn?  09:05
lamont__zul: if you want to merge from the playground, and test your stuff, i expect I can include it... I'd like to avoid an ABI bump though...09:16
zullamont__: did that yesterday i didnt notice an abi bump it wouldnt build if it did would it?09:16
lamont__right.  but I really don't want to follow -6.7 with -7.8 just because of that...09:17
zultrue09:17
zuldid you commited anything to the playground today?09:17
lamont__playground has all my stuff09:17
zulok ill re-build my stuff in a bit and ill let you know 09:18
zulwith the playground+my patches09:19
lamont__thans09:19
lamont__if you have a reachable archive somewhere, I can toss it at the DC machines to do test builds around09:19
zulyep its at http://zulinux.homelinux.net/arch/zulcss@gmail.com--200509:20
zulcrap i still have *.orig in my patches09:21
lamont__coolness - holler once your merge is done, eh?09:21
zulok09:22
zulbbl...im building right now i need to finish off the house work09:24
