fabbionemorning05:32
BenCgood evening05:33
fabbionehey Ben05:36
fabbionehow did the upload go?05:36
BenClinux-source went fine05:36
fabbionewhat about the others?05:36
BenCl-r-m is giving me some problems, but I think I got it05:36
fabbionewhat problems?05:37
BenCdidn't know that the minor's needed to be bumped in debian/rules05:37
fabbioneoh crap..05:37
fabbioneeither i forgot and you can blame me..05:37
BenCbut I fixed that, and linux-meta is also uploaded05:37
fabbioneor it wasn't clear in our talk05:37
BenCwell, even Kamion just said to sed debian/control.stub :)05:37
fabbioneeheh ok05:38
BenCoh shit, I hope the version numbers in debian/control.stub didn't need exact versions05:38
fabbionegood..05:38
fabbioneBenC: the control.stub is enough you change 2.6.12-7 to 2.6.12-805:38
BenCdo the minors that are listed as depends need to be bumped too?05:38
BenCok05:38
fabbioneno need of versioned build-deps05:38
fabbionenot that i remember...05:39
fabbionei would have to look at it05:39
fabbioneMaintainer: Ben Collins <ben.collins@ubuntu.com>05:39
fabbioneChanged-By: Ben Collins <bcollins@localhost.localdomain>05:39
BenCwell,hope, none there05:39
fabbione(linux-meta)05:39
BenCyeah, I didn't have my env setup right05:39
fabbioneehhehe05:39
fabbioneno biggie :)05:39
fabbionenobody cares..really05:40
BenCbeen awhile since I've done real package uploads ;)05:40
fabbioneyeah i can understand that05:41
fabbionekernel is 4 pkgs away in the queue on sparc...05:42
fabbionegood...05:42
BenCi386, amd64 and ppc are done05:42
fabbioneyup i saw...05:42
BenCI think ia64 is building05:43
fabbioneia64 is always slower05:43
BenCI need to get my U2, G5, i2k and A500 running so I can do builds on everything but amd6405:44
BenCremote builds are great for lots of test builds, but I need to run these things to05:44
fabbioneBenC: keep in mind that i only have i386/sparc64 here :)05:45
fabbioneand even tho i almost managed...05:45
fabbionesometimes the rules: the patch applies -> it's ready for stable did work05:45
BenCyeah, I did "patch applies and it built on i386, and the kernel booted for me"05:46
BenCI'm going to take mdz's advice and start a wiki page on this whole kernel upload procedure05:46
fabbionehmm yeah.. that might be a good idea05:49
BenCyour notes are so far right on05:49
BenChaven't gotten to the baz part yet, but that I've already done, so I just have to follow the commands :)05:49
fabbionei am pretty sure the notes are ok :)05:50
fabbioneBenC: yes please.. try to commit everything in baz asap05:50
BenCthe minor's was the only thing that caused a hiccup05:50
fabbioneif you get to commit almost at atomic level to baz, your kernel will get more testing..05:50
fabbionei often build out of baz to do testing05:50
BenCyeah, I need to get a workflow going05:51
fabbionelike: new patch -> one commit. patch update -> one commit05:51
fabbioneyeah no problem..05:51
BenCthis last one was more or less "crap, which patches do I put in, and shit, how do I test them all"05:51
fabbionebut for ex. i have been working on 8.12 a lo in the last days to debug ocfs205:51
fabbioneyou will never be able to test them all05:51
BenCyeah, but I like to atleast review them05:52
BenCbut aside from the patches, I need to do some of my own debugging and patching05:52
BenCjust going to take me a little bit longer to get into system05:52
BenChopefully get back to how I was with libc6 back when I maintained that (which is close to comparable)05:53
BenCwell, as close as you can come, but not really all that close05:53
fabbioneehhe05:54
fabbionei remember when you were maintaing libc605:54
fabbioneyou probably don't recall me bitching about the ipv6 resolver being broken05:54
fabbioneand you said  in an email: "Sure.. patches are welcome"05:54
fabbioneyou created a monster05:54
fabbionebecause at that time i did never even see a deb or a source code that big05:55
BenCyeah, I do remember that :)05:55
BenCipv6 got a lot of attention because of that05:55
fabbioneeheh05:56
BenCespecially the one major bug that took me about 3 days of testing and a hundred lines of code to fix05:56
BenCgetaddrinfo()05:56
BenCdamn this network has gotten really unstable lately05:56
BenClilo needs to chill with the restarts05:56
lamont-awayBenC: I see you've been initiated in the world of stupid-pain that is linux-restricted-modules05:56
fabbionehey lamont-away 05:57
lamont-awayyo05:57
BenClamont-away: it welcomed me with open claws05:57
lamonthehe05:57
fabbioneBenC: lilo should be either hanged or crossburned05:57
lamontBenC: I have absolutely NO CLUE why whoever started that felt it was so important to have random version numbers for each package405:57
BenCneed to redo l-r-m's stuff so that it's fairly automated05:57
BenCme either05:57
lamontjust make them all have the same version number as the package?05:58
fabbionewe can't05:58
lamontwell, actually, they're tracking upstream version numbers where they exist, so I guess that's not entirely bad05:58
BenCseems to me that every upload would need those minors bumped, with makes them pointless05:58
fabbionethat's why there is that madness05:58
lamontfabbione: why can't we?05:58
BenCwell, the remaining ubuntu version needs to just be from the package05:58
fabbionenvidia-$UPSTREAMMAJOR-crack05:58
fabbionewhen i first did the package it was only nvidia05:58
BenCthat's the package name though, right?05:59
fabbioneand i did DOCUMENT it05:59
fabbionethe others started adding all that sort of extra crack05:59
BenCseems to me it should match the kernel version it was compiled for05:59
fabbioneBenC: the kernel modules are ok.. they do06:00
fabbionethe problem is some userland thing..06:00

=== Topic (#ubuntu-kernel): set by BenC at Fri Aug 19 16:47:23 2005
(BenC/#ubuntu-kernel) fabbione: any reason that xorg-driver-fglrx would need to use a special minor version?06:03
(BenC/#ubuntu-kernel) I think the minor version should come from debian/changelog and be generated at build time06:03
(fabbione/#ubuntu-kernel) BenC: i have no idea.. i only added nvidia to that thingy.. 06:03
(BenC/#ubuntu-kernel) for all those things06:03
(fabbione/#ubuntu-kernel) i am sure there is the problem with nvidia $major06:04
fabbionebecause some other userland pkgs use it as versioned Depends:06:04
fabbionei really have no clue about the others06:04

BenCfabbione: in l-r-m, 2.6.12.2, what does the .2 represent?06:12
fabbioneBenC: it's just a number because they have updated something in the orig.tar.gz06:13
=== infinity [n=adconrad@loki.0c3.net] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
fabbionenothing fancy06:13
BenCok06:14
fabbionethe problem with binary driver is that you can't update them with patches easily ;)06:14
BenCyeah, so it requires a new .orig.tar.gz upload06:14
fabbioneyup06:15
BenCfabbione: l-r-m and linux-meta built and are in06:18
fabbionesuper06:18
BenCKamion is doing d-i06:18
fabbionecongratulation :)06:18
fabbionehe did already06:18
BenChe did?06:18
fabbioneyes06:18
fabbionein theory you can upload all of them at once..06:18
fabbionebut there are some drawbacks06:19
fabbionelike you need a buildd admin to give them back due to Dep-Wait and FTBFS06:19
BenCyeah, ia64 needs a give-back06:21
BenCafter the kernel is done06:21
fabbioneis it dep-wait?06:22
fabbionebecause there is an auto giveback.. but i don't remember how often it is called06:23
BenCyeah, dep-wait06:24
fabbionethan it's no issue.. it will be auto-un-dep-wait 06:24
BenCall the primary arch's are done, so that's the end of my worry for the evening06:24
fabbioneeeheh06:25
fabbioneyeah06:25
fabbionei will try to collect the ABI files for sparc since it's going to build soon..06:26
fabbionebut i won't be able to commit them until you finish the baz dance06:26
BenCI'm going to add the bzip compressed ABI files to the linux-image packages for the next upload, so that I wont have to chase the files around like this06:30
BenCit's only 54k compressed, so not a major percentage of the package size06:30
fabbioneBenC: we did think about that..06:31
fabbioneyou still have the main issue if a kernel is FTBFS on an arch.. you need to get the ABI file..06:32
fabbionethat sorts of goes back to you as build on all arches before upload06:32
fabbionebut yeah.. that would do in the majority of the case06:32
BenChow do you get an ABI file for an arch that wont build?06:32
fabbionethat's the whole point of prebuilding :)06:33
fabbioneto avoid FTBFS and get the ABI files if needed :)06:33
infinityThere's no auto-give-back, that's a myth.06:39
infinityBut if it's properly dep-waited, that will work itself out.06:40
infinity"auto-give-back" means me or lamont occasionally give back everything that's in the "building" state.06:40
infinity(Usually me, and usually when I'm doing a mass give-back due to a transition or something that I think may have magically made a bunch of things buildable)06:41
infinitySo, if you guys find any kernel-related stuff that's FUBAR, just let me know, and I'll smack it around.06:41
infinity(auto-give-back in the context of buildd/sbuild, is only triggered on hideously broken chroots or missing/unavailable source... All other give-backs are manual)06:42
BenCit's in dep-wait, so it should be ok06:53
mdzfabbione: the d-i upload happened before l-r-m was built07:00
mdzfabbione: of course, I don't think nic-restricted-modules actually works anymore...07:00
=== TheMuso [n=luke@dsl-202-173-132-131.nsw.westnet.com.au] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
fabbionemdz: no, because we don't have ld_static in d-i and Kamion isn't happy to add it07:02
BenCshouldn't d-i build-dep on the proper version it is expecting?07:04
BenCI would have expected it to go into dep-wait07:04
fabbioneBenC: you can't07:04
fabbionebecause you can't Build-Deps on udeb07:04
BenCit just uses linux-meta?07:04
fabbioned-i doesn't use anything else07:04
BenCah07:04
BenCdoesn't it check versions of things it downloads?07:05
fabbioneyes.. it does, but d-i is allowed to access the net to build07:05
fabbionebut it happens during the build07:05
fabbionenot at Build-Dep installations07:05
BenCbut I mean, can't it check the version of net-restricted-modules that it downloads to make sure it matches the kernel version? :)07:05
BenCand then ftb07:06
fabbionehmm i think it does somehow...07:06
fabbionebut we don't really care..07:06
fabbionethat udeb is borked anyway07:06
BenCok07:06
mdzhow goes the new kernel?07:33
mdzl-m and l-r-m seem happy07:34
mdzI'm about to trigger livefs builds unless someone tells me otherwise07:34
fabbionemdz: all the packages seems to be in place.. did yo check d-i?07:35
fabbioned-i did build..07:36
fabbionemdz: has it been by-handed?07:36
mdzfabbione: elmo did it before he went to bed07:37
fabbioneok.. than i think it's all there...07:37
fabbionei see no reasons to hold it07:37
mdzlivefs builds in progress07:38
mdzthey take about 40m07:38
mdzif I am still awake when they complete, I will do live CD builds07:38
fabbionemdz: perfect.. let me know if we get there, so i can rsync and test07:39
fabbionemdz: btw we trimmed down the OCFS2 problem.. now we are working on a solution07:39
