zulwhats up04:10
zuli think we could try updating spca5x driver this weekend ;)04:18
infinityBenC : We have 1001 offers for sparc buildds, several of which are much beefier than auric, but I need to talk to elmo so see if we can get any going.04:49
fabbionemorning guys06:38

fabbioneBenC: sparc kernel is up :)06:38
BenCinfinity: we have 2 buildd's now06:59
BenCinfinity: and none of the offers I saw were worth anything07:00
BenCinfinity: elmo already has auric going07:00
BenCfabbione: cool07:00
BenCauric is steadily building packages as we speak07:00
fabbioneBenC: when do you plan to put your e3k back online?07:12
BenCafter I move07:12
BenChopefully in the next week07:12
fabbioneah cool07:12
fabbionei was expecting a 2 months movement ;)07:12
fabbionehmm i need to add the other buildd online 07:12

fabbioneare we sure that driver build everywhere?03:11
BenCsk98lin?03:11
BenCit will only be building everywhere skge and sky2 were building03:12
BenCwell, that's probably everywhere except hppa, atm03:12
fabbionethat includes sparc too03:12
BenCI'm talking to Kamion first03:12
zulhey03:12
BenCI know it builds on sparc03:12
BenCused it before on sparc6403:13
BenChey zul03:13
fabbioneBenC: hmm ok03:13
fabbioneshould i run a test build for the sake of god?03:13
BenChold a sec03:13

BenCwell, green light for 9.15 upload03:17
BenCfabbione: changes commited03:17
fabbioneBenC: did you add the drivers to the udebs?03:17
fabbioneso that also the installer can actually use it?03:17
BenCno, wasn't aware of that...let me do that03:17
fabbionedo you know how?03:18
fabbioneotherwise i can do it on the fly03:18
BenCgot it03:18

fabbionefoo <- the module MUST be there03:19
BenCah03:19
fabbionefoo ? <- include it if it's there otherwise skip it.. no failure03:19
fabbioneso you must add a ?03:19
fabbionesince not all arches will ship this module, right?03:20
BenCright03:20
BenCok, got that in too03:21
fabbioneupdating the local tree03:22
BenCtoo about 15 minutes to collect the abi files for all 6 arches03:23
BenCtook*03:23
fabbionegiven that all of them do actually build. otherwise you are in trouble :)03:24
fabbioneoh crap03:24
fabbionei forgot to switch archive03:24
BenCfabbione: so you said 2.6.14 should be done like 2.6.14-2.6.13.90-X.Y until 2.6.14 final, right?03:27
fabbioneno i suggest you use something like 2.6.13.9003:27
fabbioneas major upstream03:28
fabbionenever put the final, until it's final03:28
BenCwell, I was going to call it linux-source-2.6.1403:28
BenCbut the version would start at 2.6.13.9003:28
fabbionehmmm oh yeah03:28
fabbionesorry.. that's right03:28
BenCok03:28
fabbionejust be sure that other than source, there is nothing that shows up as 2.6.1403:29
BenCactually going to do .92 for -rc2, .93 for -rc3, etc03:29
BenCright03:29
fabbioneotherwise people will harass you badly03:29

BenCok, it's uploaded, I had to get it quickly so Kamion wasn't holding off Colony 5 forever03:33
fabbioneah ok03:34
fabbionewell than i won't bother to build03:34
fabbionewe will see what the buildd will say03:34
fabbioneif it breaks, you better get ready to upload again :)03:35
zulmeh...i have to fix that audigy bug03:35
BenCfor some reason, I knew I was going to have to do a 9.15 today03:35
fabbionezul: what bug?03:35
fabbionei have a audigy here...03:35
fabbioneBenC: it's always like this ..03:36
fabbionespecially when you approach release03:36
=== fabbione finishes to prepare hoary-security

fabbionespeaking of which03:38
fabbionewe need to clean it up a bit03:39

BenCI don't see any names on the KernelTeam page other than fabbione and myself03:39

fabbionethat's right...03:40
fabbionesoon to be only yoouuuUUUUU03:40
fabbionebut WTF03:40
fabbionewe had a completely different page03:40
fabbionewith a lot of links and shit03:41
fabbionewhere did it all go?03:41
BenCthere's a diff URL in the topic03:41
BenChttp://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/KernelTeam03:41
BenCI didn't see that one03:41
BenCsame page03:41
BenCthat's the way I found it03:41
BenConly thing I changed was s/fabio/ben/03:42
fabbioneyeah i know03:42
fabbioneit must have been when the wikis fetish BDSM guys did move to YET another WIKI03:42
fabbionewe had all the policy and crap03:42
BenChttp://udu.wiki.ubuntu.com/LinuxKernelRoadmap03:43
BenCthere's that too03:43
fabbioneyeah that's the specs from UDU03:43
fabbionehttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamTasks?highlight=%28kernel%29 <-03:44
fabbionejust search for kernel03:44
fabbioneit will spit out shit03:44
BenCok03:45
BenCneed to get all those links in the KernelTeam page03:45
BenCKernelTeam is supposed to be the main page, right?03:45
fabbionethey were there :/03:45
fabbioneyes03:45
BenCok03:45
fabbioneif you can, try to kill the links on how to build custom kernels03:46
BenChopefully with 9.15 out, and Colony 5 building, I can take some time to do that03:46
fabbioneehehe03:46
fabbioneit can wait after Breezy03:46
fabbioneso we might be able to assimilate more people03:46
BenCI got a lot of stuff I need to document, so I don't lose/forget it03:46
BenCthe whole ABI-changing-upload03:46
BenCdo I still need to do klibc?03:47
fabbionejbailey is looking at it03:47
BenCok03:47
fabbioneklibc is not extremely important03:47
fabbionebecause an ABI change doesn't break it03:47
fabbioneor purge it03:47
BenCd-i, linux-meta, and lrm should be done03:47
fabbioneit makes klibc unbuildable03:47
fabbioneyeah it's all done i think03:47
BenCbtw, auric's been chugging away at packages03:48
BenCI think sparc is safe from the arch-police for etch03:48
fabbioneafaik sparc is going to be SCC because the installer didn't get any love in sarge03:48
BenCSCC?03:49
BenCthe installer worked great for me from sarge03:49
fabbioneBenC: Secondary Crappy arCh03:49
jbaileyEh?  Sparc was working when I beat on it last year.03:49
BenCI did the auric install with a sarge tftp image03:49
fabbionethat's what i was told03:49
fabbioneso..03:49
fabbionerelax :)03:49
fabbioneBenC: if we can get your machine to build breezy in a serious way03:49
BenCI think if sparc32 gets dropped, things will be a lot better03:50
BenCwe can't keep feeling sorry for the sun4c folks03:50
fabbionethan i can dedicate my sparc for testing03:50
jbaileyAlready done for breezy. =)03:50
fabbionebreezy doesn't support sparc3203:50
BenCyeah, debian needs to do the same03:50
fabbioneBenC: you said you have like 6 CPU/6GB of RAM03:50
BenCnetbsd runs so much better on the sparc32 hardware anyway03:50
fabbionethat could run but it self 5 instances of buildd :)03:50
jbaileyThat was at the advice of the aurora and the slackware for sparc or wahtever they're called.03:51
BenCfabbione: yep, it can do some serious damage to a build list03:51
BenCanyone ever looked at taking advantage of smp on larger packages?03:52
BenCmozilla, openoffice, kernel, X, gnome, kde, etc.03:52
jbaileyIt's hard to do predictable in a generic way.03:52
BenCgcc too03:52
jbaileyglibc does it.03:52
fabbionekernel does03:53
BenCyeah, I saw that the kernel does03:53
fabbioneX can't03:53
jbaileyEven with autoconf?03:53
fabbioneand there is no need anymore anyway03:53
jbaileyIt ought to be able to.03:53
BenCI know my e3k can -j a kernel build in like 5 minutes or less03:53
fabbionejbailey: it's splitted in 3M pkgs..03:53
jbaileyBenC: Is that with or without ccache03:53
jbailey?03:53
fabbioneBenC: eheheh03:53
BenCwithout03:53
jbaileysweet03:53
fabbioneehehe03:53
fabbionewith ccache is going to fly03:53

BenCgreat, the sk98lin driver is failing to build at all, has nothing to do with the arch04:25
mjg59BenC: Hmm. My patch appeared to build here.04:27
mjg59BenC: It's missing the -I statement pointing it at its includes04:28
BenCgot it04:30
BenCit still had -Ia/drivers04:30
BenCno idea why04:30
BenCwow, that's broken04:38
infinityDo I smell ANOTHER upload?04:38
BenCfabbione: the sparc64 breezy tftp image told me that I didn't have a ethernet interface, but that I _did_ have a firewire device :)04:39
BenCwhich is odd considering that I have no PCI on this e3k :)04:39
BenCbut I do have a happymeal card04:40
fabbioneBenC: no idea.. 04:40
fabbionei didn't test breezy installer at all04:40
fabbionebut all the modules should be there04:40
BenCyeah, I loaded it manually04:40
fabbioneBenC: for me the breezy installer is completely untested04:41
fabbioneso it might fry stuff04:41
fabbionebe aware04:41
BenCok04:41
fabbioneif it works is a plus :)04:41
BenCis the smp kernel for sparc64 tested well?04:43
fabbionewe did test it only on one machine04:43
BenCthe breezy installer must be using the broken version of libdetect04:43
fabbionei don't have SMP here04:43
BenCit's not seeing my sbus devices04:43
BenCthat bug was in debian too, but it got fixed04:44
fabbioneit depends when it got fixed04:44
BenClibdetect ignores > 1 sbus buses04:44
BenCwas awhile ago04:44
fabbionewe should compare the versions04:44
BenClike 3-6 months04:44
fabbioneif the fix is not in and it's not intrusive, we might be able to push it04:44
BenCI'm having to manully load hme and esp modules04:44
fabbionei see04:45
fabbioneannoying04:45
BenCit only affects machines like mine that have things on other than sbus004:45
fabbionei guess that problem is only in the installer, right?04:45
fabbioneBenC: anyway i need to stop for one hour or so04:46
fabbionemy brain is melting04:46
BenCwell, if it uses detect for initramfs, then it will be there too04:46
fabbioneno it doesn't04:46
fabbioneafaik at least04:46
fabbionejbailey: ???04:46
fabbionei need to stop for a while04:46
fabbionebbl04:46
jbaileylibdetect?04:49
jbaileyWhat's that?04:49
jbaileyUbuntu's d-i uses hotplug / udev04:50
BenCwhat does it uses to scan the sbus on sparc?04:50
jbaileyNo idea, I don't think hotplug has magic for that.04:51
BenCsomehow it needs to I guess04:51
jbaileyIs the sbus driver sysfs enabled?04:51
jbaileyI could add that to initramfs-tools at least.04:52
BenCthe debian installer handles it somehow04:52
BenCyes, it is04:52
jbaileyDebian's installer uses discover104:52
BenCdiscover, that's what I meant, not detect04:52
jbaileyAh. 'k04:52
jbaileyI've just asked Colin to double check.04:53
jbaileyYep.  discover is only used for X autoconfiguration.05:05
jbaileySo possibly nothign does sbus detection at all.05:05
jbaileyCookingup hotplug patches for sbus isn't hard, but I don't know that it could be done for breezy.05:06
jbaileyBest bet might be to do a plugin on sparc only.05:06
jbaileyIf you can get a machine installed with Breezy (or if I can this weekend now that I have a nullmodem cable)05:06
jbaileyI can get the hack in for initramfs-tools to do any detection you need there.05:07
BenCsomething on debian loads hme(ethernet) and esp(scsi) modules05:10
BenCI don't know what it is05:10

spayneSUSE 10 works the best and that has a 2.6.13 kernel05:41
BenCwhat version of the ndiswrapper module?05:41
spayne1.1 - the standard one05:42
BenCis that the same version as in suse?05:43

mjg59We can't upgrade ndiswrapper at this point05:45
spaynewhy?05:45
spaynealso, it works fine on my Dell laptop with a MiniPCI card05:45
mjg59Because userspace needs to be kept in synchronisation with the kernel, and we're deep into freeze05:45

zulgets ndiswrapper working for amd6405:55
zuli believe..05:55
spayneit doesn't even work on i38605:55
spaynenever mind amd64!05:55
mjg59BenC: Just remove the a/05:56
mjg59From the EXTRA_CFLAGS statement05:56
BenCmjg59: already tried that05:56
mjg59BenC: Oh, christ, Dunno, then.05:56
mjg59spayne: It works fine on i38605:56
mjg59It doesn't work *for you*05:56
BenCit still fails in skge.c because of some weird errors05:56
mjg59BenC: Shrug.05:56
spaynemjg59: it does work on some machines, not USB devices05:56
spaynedoes anyone have any ideas?05:57
mjg59BenC: The patch I sent applied fine here (working against an older tree, obviously) and built05:57
mjg59BenC: My suspicion is that it's failing to patch because you've dropped sky2, and so there's a different hunk in Kconfig05:57
mjg59Or the Makefile05:57
fabbionespayne: buy better hw that doesn't need crappy windowss dll? ;)05:57
spaynefabbione: that is not the answer - i have had this bug for 2 months05:58
spayneand every time i try and get help, nothing happens05:58
dilingerwhat's recommended for controlling cpufreq from userspace?  cpudyn?  powernowd?05:58
mjg59We ship powernowd05:58
dilingeralright, thanks.  i'll play around w/ that one05:59
mjg59spayne: Frankly, ndiswrapper for USB stuff is a low priority05:59
spaynereally? so people who use Ubuntu with Laptops (cough)Laptop Testing Scheme(cough) can't do anything?05:59
fabbionespayne: because these kind of drivers are extremely hard to support.05:59
spayneit isn't a driver problem!05:59
fabbionegiven that if they fail in the .dll crap, there is no way we can get it fixed06:00
mjg59spayne: People with USB devices are always at liberty to get one that has native Linux drivers06:00
spayneit is nearly impossible06:00
mjg59spayne: That's *not* true of most of the problems we're dealing with here06:00
mjg59spayne: No, it really isn't06:00
spaynewhy did it work with Hoary then?06:00
mjg59There are several supported USB wireless devices06:00
mjg59I've *no fucking clue*06:00
BenCspayne: one issue is that it is nearly impossible for us to really do anything about it06:00
BenCI cannot reproduce it06:00
fabbionespayne: luck06:00
spayneluck?06:01
fabbionethat's probably why it did work06:01
mjg59spayne: And maybe I'll have time to look at it once I'm finished dealing with the higher priority issues06:01
BenCspayne: can you try hand building the newest ndiswrapper and see if that works?06:01
spaynewill do06:01
mjg59spayne: The USB devices that *Maplin* sell are supported, for christ's sake06:01
spaynethat isn't the point, they point is that ndiswrapper is broken for some USB devices06:02
mjg59Right. And that's a bug.06:02
mjg59It's a low priority bug,06:02
fabbionespayne: there is always something broken for somebody06:02
spaynei thought one of the aims for Breezy was that any laptop would just work :)06:02
fabbionespayne: do you have a patch to fix the problem?06:02
mjg59spayne: The aim is to support as much as we can. If I have time, I will see if I can reproduce the problem.06:02
spaynethat's fine06:02
spaynethanks mjg5906:03
BenCspayne: it may not even be an ndiswrapper bug, it sounds to me like ndiswrapper isn't able to communicate with the USB device, which could be a USB stack bug06:03
spayneyes, but who do i contact?06:03
BenCspayne: I'm hoping that trying a different ndiswrapper version will tell us if this is the case06:03
spaynei just came here because the bug was assigned to you06:04
fabbionespayne: you did open the bug. that's enough06:04
BenCyou talk to me, but all I can tell you right now is that the ball is largely in your court, because this is such a specialized problem06:04
fabbionespayne: coming around to push developer is of no help06:04
BenCspayne: if this were "ndiswrapper is broken for 99% of the people", I'd get right on it06:05
BenCbut as it is now, it's just you, and I've no confirmations that it is affecting anyone else06:05
spaynefair enough06:05
BenCnot saying you aren't important, but I have to get the bugs that affect the most people first :)06:05
BenC * Starting hotplug subsystem...06:06
BenCfabbione: smp kernel stops there06:06
BenChard lock, have to powercycle06:07
fabbionecrap06:07
BenCodd that there is no kernel output06:07
fabbionecan you try to boot without quiet/splash options?06:07
fabbionei don't think they get added on sparc06:07
BenCthis thing is far from quiet06:07
fabbioneso you get full boot log06:08
BenCyeah06:08
fabbionechristing bananas06:08
fabbionehmm i wonder if you try to boot UP and disable hotplug and see if it boots -SMP06:08
BenCI can try06:09
BenCupdate-rc.d -f hotplug remove ?06:09
fabbionethan try to load hotplug manually and perhaps you can get something out06:09
fabbionei would just add an exit 0 at the beginning of the script :)06:09
BenCif I boot to single, is that before hotplgu?06:09
fabbionehmm i think so06:09
fabbionei can't remember06:09
BenCI'll try that first06:09
BenCsucks, hard power cycles on this machine takes 8 minutes06:09
fabbioneehehe i know :)06:10
BenCas opposed to the 2 minutes for a soft reset06:10
fabbionethe E10K was like 45 minutes06:10
fabbionejust powering down the domain06:10
fabbioneand powering it up again06:10
BenCthe POST on sparc's is just too damn thorough06:10
fabbionebetter that way06:10
fabbionebut later i found a trick...06:11
BenCyeah, it's why sparc's are so good :)06:11
BenCplease tell me :)06:11
fabbionedoes the e3k supports hw partitioning?06:11
fabbionelike having 2/3 execution domains..06:11
BenCno06:12
BenConly starfire hardware can do that06:12
BenCIIRC, a 32way e10k can compile a kernel in 28 seconds flat06:13

fabbionei know :)06:13
fabbionetoo bad i don't have access to it anymore06:13

BenCI've got two bad simms on this e3k06:14
fabbioneyeah06:14
BenCkills a gig of my memory06:14
BenCmaybe just need to reseat them06:15
fabbionei didn't want to install a buildd there, because i knew i was going away06:15

fabbioneit's years that's broken and i can't find 400USD to get it fixed06:17
BenCa very large hunk06:17
fabbionebut with that amount i could just buy another one06:17
BenCwhat's broken?06:17
fabbioneeither the mobo or the CPU06:19
fabbionebut for that money i can just buy another full U6006:20

fabbionenot on sparc at least06:24

=== mkrufky chimes in
zulmy boss for one06:58
mkrufkyheh06:59
mkrufkythere was some debate about whether or not to support those cards06:59
mkrufkybecause they have some features that cannot be supported at this point in time06:59
mkrufkyand those features happen to be the major selling-points of those cards06:59
mkrufkybut since basic support worked, they ended up being included (more recently)07:00

BenCok08:01
BenCis there something with the arch/bzr style revision control model that says we can't use head (kernel-debian--mainline--2.6.12) for our main development area, and just branch tags for each release?08:26
dilingergrumble.  hoary's lm-sensors detect all kinds of false alarms on these shitty asus boards08:28
infinityBenC : No, and I'd prefer it.  Different people have different workflows, that's all.08:44
BenCyou'd prefer just having a single head?08:44
infinityYeah, that works better for me.  But I'm probably just too CVS/SVN oriented, and therefor not cool enough for baz. :)08:45
BenCI must not be cool either :)08:45
BenCI think I might go with that08:45
BenCas it is now, we have two branches for each release, the dev branch, and the tag08:46
infinityHey, it's your kernel now, bugs and all.  YOu get to force whatever model you want on your minions.08:46

infinityLast option: "Delete Page"08:52
