pdrjust a quick question, is it intended to have 2.6.16 on dapper?06:51
=== infinity [n=adconrad@loki.0c3.net] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
lamontpdr: upstream version freeze already happened.  I would doubt that 2.6.16 would hit dapper, unless something was very very very broken in 2.6.1507:08
lamontand even then, probably not.07:09

lamont-worksigh06:15
lamont-workgit 4.3.20-7build1 - is that new enough?06:17
lamont-workprolly not06:18
=== lamont-work backports the current dapper git-core to breezy
=== lamont-work decides that backporting libcurl3-gnutls-dev is more work than he feels like atm
zulheh...i built from source06:31
lamont-workzul: well, that is the alternative - new machine, etc.07:03
lamont-workI tend to prefer packed .debs, just because I'm lazy07:03
lamont-workzul: hey, speaking of lazy..  you wanna apply a diff for me?07:04
lamont-workdebian/d-i/hppa/modules/hppa/ide-modules needs to have ns87415 added to it07:04
lamont-workhrm.. actually, maybe I'll use this as an excuse to actually learn git enough to be useful.07:07

=== lamont-work needs --bwlimit= in git pull
zulhehe07:18
lamont-workiz gonna hurt my bw bill07:18
lamont-workesp since the next git-push is gonna do the same thing, no?07:18
lamont-workor can I just hop onto rookery and get pull there?07:19
zuli think you can hop onto rookery not sure though...bw is not really a problem for me07:19
=== fabbione [n=fabbione@82.109.136.125] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
BenClamont: only the first pull is big07:26
lamont-workBenC: not when you last pulled right after BenC set up git...07:27
BenCheh, pull more regularly :)07:27
BenCyou can always setup a git-fetch in cron07:27
=== doko [n=doko@82.109.136.125] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
BenCthen you can git-pull from the fetch branch and it's all local (and the git-fetch can be cron'd because it doesn't require merging)07:28
lamont-workBenC: I sent you mail (which you can disregard), but wondered if my rookery git-tree was in the automerger...07:28
BenCnot yet07:29
BenCactually, I don't automerge anyone07:29
zulBenC: question for you did you have a look at my stuff yet?07:29
lamont-workah, ok.  well then.. in that case... pls apply the patch I sent you in the first place. :-)07:29
BenCmy message on wiki was just to make people be careful :)07:29
BenCzul: not yet, I have a butt load of stuff from mjg and others I am working on now, I plan to pull from you tonight07:30
BenClamont: ok :)07:30
zulBenC: ok07:30
lamont-workand then I'll find something benign to tweak and see if I can drive git without hitting any cliffs.07:31
zulwheeee...cliffs!!07:33
lamont-workwoot.  over half way. (8c)07:35
zulfreaking open office export the date properly!!!07:36
cjblamont-work: BTW, I use trickle http://www.monkey.org/~marius/trickle/ to rate-limit things like apt-get.  It's very simple.07:39
cjb(It overloads read(2) with LD_PRELOAD and adds usleeps until you're at the rate you want.)07:40
lamont-workcjb: thanks07:42
lamont-workFilename: pool/universe/t/trickle/trickle_1.06-4_i386.deb07:43
cjbtrickle -d40 git-fetch .. should be enough to limit to 40KB/s download.07:43
lamont-workBenC: if I set up a git-fetch cron, does the cronjob have to finish before I can merge from the tree, or is it consistant and/or locking as needed?07:45
lamont-workmaybe that's not clear. :(07:45
BenCI think you can git-pull while a fetch is going07:46
BenCshould be atomic07:46
lamont-workfb!  woot07:54
lamont-workBenC: nice. thanks07:55
lamont-workI assume the git-fetch cron thingy is in a faq somewhere07:55
lamont-workhrmpf.07:55
lamont-work2nd rsync started now.  wonder how many of those there are.07:56

zullamont-work: finished yet?08:58
lamont-workstill pulling pack/pack-0741dd55e7c560f401c7f37120f3203ad8664bb0.pack08:58
zulwell its almost done then08:58
lamont-workwhich is good, since it's put me over quota for tomorrow, too.08:59
zulouch..08:59
lamont-workwell, if I do nothing more until then end of tomorrow, I'll be back under quota.08:59
lamont-workthere.. that's more accurate08:59
zulwhat if you over quota for something like for a week worth of data09:00
lamont-workthe start of the month can be like that... no time to build up extra quota-headroom09:00
lamont-workit doesn't help that I wind up ctl-z ing it anytime I need interactive response in mutt on the machine at home...09:00
lamont-worksince it is maxing out the bandwidth across the hilltop (~170kbps)09:01
zuldoes it cut you off for a week or do end up paying more?09:01
lamont-workhrm... there's a 209kbps block in there09:01
zulor it just throttles you?09:01
lamont-workif I get to the end of the month, having used more than quota (with the prior month's headroom available), then I pay more09:01
zulah ok09:02
lamont-workI think I had something over 300MB of headroom at the end of jan, so I get 3.5GB this month, if I must.09:02
lamont-workand time < 56kbps doesn't count (5 minute blocks of time, looking at agregate use)09:03
zulnifty...sounds communistic ;)09:03
lamont-workthe free-under-56k was added specifically for me...09:03
lamont-workI usually come in at somewhere around 10-14GB total use for the month09:03
zuloi..i dont think i use that much....i probably do though09:04
lamont-workjust put an iptables rule on input and ouput: "iptables -A INPUT; iptables -A OUTPUT" and see what the accounting has to say...09:05
lamont-workwell, "-I INPUT 1" if you have rules already09:05
cjbHuh, wow.  Where do you live such that this is necessary, lamont?09:05
zulmongolia ;)09:05
lamont-workcjb: 802.11b co-op in rural colorado09:05
cjbAwesome.09:06
lamont-workI'm arguably on the border of DSL availability, as I keep reminding the phone company...09:06
lamont-workbut in the meantime, my internet connectivity is via an 802.11b link (1W ERP) to a hilltop 18 miles away09:07
zulhehe09:07
lamont-workit generally stays up, although bad weather at the hilltop desenses the receiver, and life sucks09:07
zulits like two cans and a string interfnet09:08
lamont-workit beats the hell out of dialup09:08
zultrue..09:08
lamont-workstill debating the relative merits of sucky-latency bouncing off the geo-sync satellite.09:08
zuli havent had dial-up in like 6 years...except for the year i wasnt working09:09
lamont-workdialup is what they offer here.09:09
lamont-workwell, I suppose isdn might be available too.09:09
lamont-workI had that once09:09
lamont-workcjb: www.cwx.net09:09
cjbYeah, been six years since dialup for me too.09:10
lamont-workthe cool part about a 3.2GB quota is that it's ~100MB/day, so you can just leave a window open with the total bw usage for the month (thank you iptables, cron and python) and easily read where you are at.09:11

lamont-workhrm.. looks better in a non-proportional font09:11
lamont-workthat's time-at-end-of-5-min-block: bytes: bits-per-sec09:12
lamont-workwhat it really means is that I run a local mirror, and sync it with a bw-limited script that makes sure that the archive, while possibly stale, always has a consistant set of packages/sources/release files09:13
lamont-workthereby timeshifting the whole thing09:13
lamont-workand then, when I'm tracking dapper, I suppliment that with sneaker-net bandwidth09:14
cjbYou'd think working with bandwidth-intense trees and needing to track a whole operating system would be incompatible with having a crappy net connection.  :)09:16
lamont-workcjb: hence the sneaker-net bandwidth suplementation09:26
lamont-workthe part I haven't mentioned yet is that the home mirror took a crap last night (hard drive died), so I'm using a USB drive as a high-latency, high-bandwidth network connection to pull a copy of the site's mirror for the house.09:27
lamont-workI really need to dust off my archive code and get back to just mirroring the packages I want, instead of everything09:28
lamont-workcjb: also, that's why I was dealing with getting git on the work machine. or rather, thinking about it09:30
cjbAh, the "Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of backup tapes." approach.09:32
lamont-workexactluy09:36
lamont-work1ea 120GB packet.09:36
lamont-workcjb: and for the correct quote, I believe it's: s/backup tapes/mag tapes, hurtling down the highway."09:52
lamont-workwth is in that .pack file?10:14
lamont-workwhich is over 100MB10:16
