Todeat last I arrived in the good place11:31
Tode(I hope)11:31
TodeI'm working for a company which doing IWB (interzctive White Board)11:31
TodeOf course, the stuff works on Window$, OS X... but not on Linux11:32
TodeI'm product manager for France11:32
TodeI'd like to develop a driver for Linux11:32
TodeGPL of course11:32
TodeI don't have yet the right to give specs11:33
Todebut I'm working on it11:33
Todeas the HQ thinks Linux is not a priority, I think they'll be glad not to have to develop this themselves...11:33

fabbionel02:38
zuldid you get my msg yesterday?02:41
fabbionezul: yes, it's fine by me02:45
fabbionethe only issue i have is that i still don't know if my mobile phone will work there02:45
fabbioneso we need to find a way to meet up02:46
zulwell i could call your room02:55
fabbionei think we should talk later with jbailey 02:58
fabbionewe will probably be around playng turists ;)02:59
zulheh...i been to montreal a couple of times for the summer, my grandmother lived there for a while before she moved away03:00
fabbionei have never been there03:03
fabbionei still need to figure what to visit :)03:03
jbaileyfabbione: Montral is well known for its bagels, the fact that it allowed 18 years olds to drink, and the strip clubs in the middle of the office district. =)03:21
jbaileyfabbione: I need to spend some time on the wiki today posting StuffAboutMontral03:21
fabbionejbailey: hahah03:21
Mithrandiris it particular for places in .ca that 18 year olds are allowed to drink?03:22
jbaileyMithrandir: Yes.  Only Qubec and Alberta allow it.03:22
jbaileyEveryone else requires one to be 19.03:22
mjg59jbailey: What character set are you sending?03:22
Mithrandirjbailey: utf8, I think03:22
jbaileyWhat's funny is that a kid in the youthgroup/sexed class that I used to teach is coming to visit us in Feb for her 18th birthday.  Her mom is sending her. =)03:23
jbaileymjg59: Should be utf-803:23
mjg59Hmm. So why can't I see any of your accented characters.03:23
mjg59Bloody screen.03:23

jbaileymjg59: I'm in screen too, so if could be confused.03:24
mjg5903:25
Mithrandirjbailey: it looks good to me, and I know utf8 works for me.03:25
mjg59Ought to be accented e03:25
Mithrandirmjg59: that's double-encoded.03:26
mjg59Fuckit.03:26
Mithrandirmjg59: does  come out right for you?03:26
jbaileyI think it's wrapped in latin-1 from the output.03:26
mjg59No03:26
mjg59Right. Now, where is this going wrong?03:26
jbaileyMithrandir: I see tahat as ae o/ a^o03:26
Mithrandirjbailey: that's correct.03:26
Mithrandirjbailey: our three scandinavian letters.03:26
mjg59Weird. If I tell screen to do 8859-1, then everything seems to work03:26
Mithrandirmjg59: screen probably thinks the window is latin1, then.03:27
mjg59Except that I'm limited to 8859 characters03:27
fabbioneBenC: please git pull ssh://people.ubuntu.com/home/fabbione/public_html/archives/ubuntu-2.603:27
Mithrandir8859 characters should be enough for everyone!03:27
fabbioneBenC: RH Cluster updates and OCFS203:27
mjg59Ok, that works now03:28
mjg59Looks like I forgot -U03:28
Mithrandirmjg59: that shouldn't be needed if you have an UTF8 locale03:31
mjg59Well, I needed to toggle utf803:33
BenCfabbione: doing it now03:39

fabbioneBenC: we can get there :)03:39
fabbionenow we need to configs :)03:40
BenCfabbione: I'm getting the debian config stuff in today03:40
fabbionewe also need to decide how we want to release03:40
fabbionebecause we can't create .udebs yet03:40
fabbioneor better we can03:40
fabbionebut we need to fix the debian version mistmatch03:40
fabbionei am also getting a few tons of unresolved symbols on ndiswrapper for x86_6403:41
BenCodd, I'll look into those03:41
mjg59We should pull in a newer ndiswrapper anyway03:41
fabbioneand 2 for zd1211em830003:41
fabbioneand 2 for zd1211 em830003:41
mjg59And newer zd121103:41
BenCI got the newest of everything03:42
mjg59Ok03:42
BenCwhat were the ones for zd1211 and em8300?03:42
BenCguessing they were ieee80211 related03:42
fabbioneBenC: there was a file called external-modules in debian/03:43
fabbionewe lost that one in .1403:43
fabbioneit was really useful in combination of uscan-extmod03:43
mjg59em8300 is a dvd decoder03:43
fabbioneto track all external modules03:43
BenCfabbione: I am writing a script to pull the external-modules stuff from git log03:43
mjg59So probably not ieee8021103:43
fabbioneBenC: ah ok...03:44
BenCfabbione: that's why I wanted the external modules git log setup as it was03:44
BenCless prone to user error, not updating the file and such03:44
fabbioneBenC: meh03:44
fabbionei am not sure i did the commit right than03:44
fabbionei used the external-module template to update RedHat Cluster03:44
fabbionebut from CVS tehre is no Mask or reference03:45
fabbioneand it' not even a pure CVS because there are patches from different branches in CVS03:45
BenCwell, then there's no way for it to be in external-modules file either, so no problem03:45
fabbioneexactly03:46
fabbioneit was there just as reference03:46

jbaileydilinger: I sort of miss the 30 minute walk to work. =)  It means I have to remember to exercise. =)03:58
dilingerjbailey: it's not a very nice walk.  past the hole that was the world trade center, through a wind tunnel... :/03:59

dilingerit looks like they're just getting scaffolding up04:03

BenCthanks04:11
fabbionefor what? :)04:11
BenCfor getting the last two major drivers in the tree and getting debian/rules cleaned up :)04:12
fabbionethere is still a lot that can be cleaned04:12
BenCI'm sure I'll be getting neck deep in the build today04:17
fabbioneBenC: amd64 builds :)04:20
fabbionetomorrow i will do an i386 build and test04:20
infinityWhen you guys get half-ass sane and working builds going, I'd love a pointer to some pre-built i386 packages, so I can start wrangling the new version of linux-restricted-modules to build with the new kernel.04:22
infinityI have a feeling some hackery on my part will be required, and I'd rather clear it up as soon as I can.04:22

zuler...did you get my msg last night05:29
BenCguess not :)05:30
zuli was thinking since im going to be in montreal on saturday why dont a few of us get together for dinner05:31
BenCI wont be there until Sunday05:31
zulah never mind then :)05:31
BenCwill yu be around then?05:32
zulyeah i will..ill be there until 2 and then i have to head back to ottawa05:34
zuli have very expensive hockey tickets for that night ;005:36
mkrufkybenc: am i correct in assuming that you will stop git merges from upstream once 2.6.14 mainline gets released?  (with the exception of 2.6.14.y merges) 05:38
mkrufky( i can already see some of my patches got merged into your tree 99 minutes ago ;-) 05:38
BenCmkrufky: depends if we decide to move on to 2.6.15 or not05:39
BenCI think if we do frequent releases, we can keep moving05:40
mkrufkyokay, that makes sense.... I kind of assumed that you would be working against 2.6.14 for released until 2.6.15 becomes stable05:42
mkrufkys/released/releases05:42
mkrufkythere are a whole bunch of radical changes on the table for 2.6.15, so i think this one is going to have a long dev cycle05:42
fabbionere05:43
mkrufkyanyhow, I figured I would wait for 2.6.14 official release before I send patches your way.  There isnt any time constraints that I should be worried about is there?05:44
fabbionemkrufky: yes.. you need to take into account the release schedule05:45
mkrufkyis it posted anywhere?  05:46
=== mkrufky didnt see it in the ubuntu kernel wiki
fabbionehttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseSchedule?highlight=%28dapper%2905:46
mkrufkyperfect, thanx05:46
mkrufkyhmm... if you are going to continue to take post-2.6.14 merges, then it will not be necessary for me to send you any patches.......05:48
mkrufkythe whole reason why i was going to do this was so that ubuntu users wouldn't have to mess with cvs in order to get support for new v4l/dvb hardware .... It looks like it might not be necessary, because we will probably be sending our next patchset to linus before your code-freeze05:50
fabbionemkrufky: we will see how it goes05:50
mkrufkywe will be sending within 2 weeks of 2.6.14 release05:50
mkrufkyyup05:50
dilingerhow serious are people about keeping upstream versions frozen instead of taking another snapshot of sid, as jdub's email mentioned?05:50
fabbionedilinger: read the above url05:51
fabbionejdub has been overruled by *05:51
mkrufkyanyhow, if somehow we miss the cutoff, there are only 2 post-2.6.14 patches that i am concerned about hitting the distros ... I guess we'll deal with it when the time comes05:51
BenCmkrufky: is v4l/dbd using git yet?05:52
BenCdvb05:52
mkrufkyI am going to set up my own git repository, but we will not have an official one for a while05:52
mkrufkythe problem is:05:52
mkrufkyv4l is like an umbrella subsystem05:52
mkrufkydvb is its own subsystem05:53
mkrufkybut we depend on each other05:53
dilingerfabbione: excellent05:53
dilingerfabbione: that just seemed like a bad idea :)05:53
mkrufkyv4l is absorbing ivtv, in addition to some other subsystems05:53
mkrufkyand it is problematic for a single maintainer to handle05:53
mkrufkythis is the reason why we dont have a git repo yet05:53
mkrufkyI want to set one up, to see how it goes, all i need is a server to host it on05:54
mkrufkyif all works out, we can eventually migrate all development to -git05:54
BenCmkrufky: email ftp-admin@kernel.org and ask for an account there05:54
mkrufkyis it really that simple?05:55
mkrufkyi will do it :-D05:55
BenCemail them a username, a gpg key, an ssh pub key, and your reason fort an account05:55
mkrufkys/gpg/pgp , right? 05:55
BenCdoesn't really matter05:56
BenCno one uses pgp though :)05:56
mkrufkyhmmm... then i dont know what gpg is05:56
BenCGnuPG05:56
mkrufkylol i should have known05:57
BenCthe free pgp :)05:57
mkrufkyheh05:57
mkrufkyokay, well i'll send them an email later on..... I think that having a "media" tree that would centralize all the dvb/v4l/usbvision stuff would make it a lot easier for us to spot regressions, etc...   I'll let u know when thats ready05:58
BenCthen I can easily pull from it05:59
mkrufkyya i think it will make things MUCH easier for everyone06:00

fabbioneBenC: 2 questions.. how are we going to stop autopulling from linus tree? and how can you do cherry picking in git?08:01
BenCyou shouldn't be auto-pulling from linus08:02
BenCgit pull may read objects from linus, but it doesn't pull them in08:02
BenCI'll have to read up on cherry-picking, but I know it's possible08:03

BenCprobably commit it, but not have it enabled for first release08:05
fabbione(the patch)08:05
fabbioneBenC: i suggest you enable as much crack as possible in the beginning instead08:05
fabbionebecause it's the best moment to crash test the kernel08:05
BenCtrue08:06
fabbionewe will have a couple of months to play hard. probably less08:06
fabbioneafter that we need to stabilize08:06
fabbioneso it's much better to use this time in the best way as possible08:06
fabbionealso because the first uploads will not expose .14 as default kernel08:07
fabbionewe can decide when to force it as such08:07
fabbioneso it will in Universe -> not supported.. for a little while.. and that's DOH! a case ;)08:07

fabbionewe can make these kind of adjustment later on08:19
fabbioneand probably add a TODO list in debian/08:19
