[09:39] <trappist> iptables is currently built against a minimal chunk of some old kernel source included in the package.  it all gets patched with patch-o-matic in a vain attempt to add some nice features that don't actually work because we're not patching the kernel and we're not building against our real kernel.  I'd like to work on iptables, but I'd need some help, or at least cooperation, on the kernel side.  where to go for this?
[09:40] <fabbione> trappist: what do you need from the kernel that you don't have already?
[09:41] <trappist> fabbione: well if we're going to use patch-o-matic, there needs to be some agreement on which patches to apply.  if not, nothing at all, but we're using it now - or trying to - and I'd like some of those things kept in.
[09:42] <fabbione> trappist: prepare a list and post it to kernel-team@lists.ubuntu.com
[09:42] <fabbione> with everything that you think should be done
[09:42] <fabbione> and how to do it
[09:42] <trappist> can do, thanks
[12:46] <fabbione> BenC: ping?
[01:26] <rikai> later all , to bed with me o/
[01:28] <BenC> pong
[01:28] <BenC> fabbione: yo
[02:44] <zul> hey
[03:08] <fabbione> BenC: OCFS2 has been merged upstream by linus..
[03:08] <fabbione> i am not sure if we want to start tracking it from there...
[03:08] <fabbione> does git allow you branch per directory?
[03:09] <zul> hey fabbione 
[03:09] <fabbione> hey zul
[03:09] <zul> congrats on the kid
[03:09] <fabbione> thanks :)
[03:09] <zul> scarey you are going to have your unholy army soon ;)
[03:10] <fabbione> ehhe
[03:10] <zul> argh why couldnt i type last night
[03:11] <BenC> fabbione: nah, we'll just keep what's in our archive for dapper
[03:11] <BenC> will be nice to remove it for dapper+1 though, and just track 2.6.17
[03:12] <fabbione> BenC: we might have to update OCFS2 and RH anyway across the line.. i was only wondering if we could do it easily traking linus or not
[04:27] <zul> oh crud...the abi changed
[04:31] <zul> bleah..
[04:32] <zul> yeah the firefox download is working again
[04:32] <fabbione> hahaha

[04:34] <lamont__> so many choices.... hrm...
[04:36] <BenC> lol
[04:36] <fabbione> lamont: same on sparc..
[04:37] <lamont__> it's the b0rken keyboard chooser udeb that's my current annoyance with dapper... must fix that
[04:39] <fabbione> i think the issue is console-data udeb
[04:39] <fabbione> does it build for you?
[05:10] <zul> brb...new kernel
[09:15] <zul> BenC: ok quick question if you are around why does adiran bunk make all of those functions in the kernel static?
[09:46] <cjb> I think he gave his reason in the thread; because they reduce to a constant at compile-time.
[09:47] <cjb> Oh.  He's not here.
[09:57] <BenC> zul: allows the compiler more flexibility I think
[10:04] <lamont__> BenC: did we get the ide stuff I needed turned on in 2.6.15 yet?
[10:04] <lamont__> (hppa needed, that is)
[10:05] <lamont__> remind me what it is that reads kernel-img.conf again?
[10:13] <lamont__> and that ide bus walking isn't automatic
[10:14] <lamont__> and that tulips don't autoconfig either
[10:14] <lamont__> hda: CD-532E-B, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
[11:58] <rikai> brb, installing memory <.<;
