maswanfabbione: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LustreInUbuntu <- about half a spec, comments are most welcome04:05
fabbionemaswan: what about finishing it? :)04:06
fabbioneuse cases look ok04:07
fabbionego for the implementation04:07
fabbione* evaluate current code04:07
fabbione* merge with ubuntu kernel04:07
fabbione* make packages for the userland tools04:07
fabbione* profit...04:07
fabbioneCode04:07
fabbione* verify that lustre can keep up and work with current ubuntu kernel04:07
fabbioneData etc...04:08
fabbionenon04:08
fabbioneOutstanding issues?04:08
fabbione* none are known at the moment04:08
fabbionesomething like this would do04:08
maswanOk, adding that. Thanks04:08
maswanHmm.. Just checked, the next major version of Lustre (release 2007) seem to aim for mainline inclusion. But that's some time away.04:14
maswanAnyway, might be good to know, if the current patchset is not good for the current Ubuntu kernel.04:15
fabbioneso you could add that to Outstandind issue04:20
fabbionespecially if they plan to change th on-disk format04:20
=== maswan checks to make sure
maswanon-disk format changes are done with transparent transitions04:22
maswanso the current version will support the previous (and next, if a format change is planned)04:23
fabbionehmm ok04:23
fabbioneso what happens if we hit a dapper-like release with lustre.. can we expect a smooth transition in 5 years?04:23
fabbioneor we will have to reinvent the wheel?04:24
maswanGood question.04:25
=== maswan adds that as an outstanding issue
maswanPossibly a cycle-through of intermediate versions might be needed. I don't know.04:27
fabbionethat's something we might have to ask upstream04:28
fabbiones/we/you04:28
fabbioneyou write the spec.. you get to implement it..04:28
=== maswan nods (and eek, but I guess that doesn't mean I have to do everything :) )
fabbionewell most of it.. :)04:34
maswanjust talked to the guy that did the patching for breezy locally here, and it seems to not be that bad. just a few trivial conflicts with that kernel. wonder how it looks for the post-dapper devel kernel? :)04:41
=== mkrufky [n=mk@68.160.103.77] has joined #ubuntu-server
mkrufkyinfinity: you around?04:58
infinitymkrufky: Ish.05:14
mkrufkyhi05:18
mkrufkyinfinity: just wondering if you had ever received my email containing the patch for stored procedures support in php-mssql for 5.0.505:19
mkrufkythe bug is already fixed in 5.1.x  ... but you had asked me to send you this patch anyhow05:19
infinitymkrufky: Err, I think we had a failure to communicate.  You were asking for fixes to php-sybase, then sent me a patch to enable php-mssql.05:20
infinitymkrufky: I know how to do the latter, but we're not going to do it.05:20
infinitymkrufky: A patch that ports the functions you need from mssql into sybase_ct would be much more helpful.05:20
mkrufkyah!05:20
mkrufkyyes, quite a misunderstanding05:20
mkrufkyphp-sybase will never support full mssql stored procedures, as per what i've read on google05:21
mkrufkyso.. i think i wont be touching that with a ten foot pole :-/05:21
mkrufkyyou did, however, tell me that you were considering php-mssql for inclusion in POST_dapper05:21
mkrufkydid i misunderstand this also?05:21
infinityOh, post-dapper, yes, it'll end up in the php-sybase package (both modules), IF we can't merge the two.05:27
infinityOn the other hand, both wrap the same library, and it seems like it wouldn't be much effort for someone to just port the functions from one to the other.05:27
infinityI've just spent zero time looking at that.05:27
mkrufkyah05:27
mkrufkyi bet a lot of users would be happy to know that full mssql functionality could be supported in ubuntu05:27
mkrufkyunfortunately, even though I got it working..... i dont feel comfortable running a production server off of a hack like the patch that i had to send you05:28
mkrufkyso........ i had to convert that machine to FC505:28
infinityTo be fair, I used to use Debian's php-sybase packages professionally (last job I had before Canonical, where I used MSSQL a lot) and never really felt like I was missing anything.05:28
mkrufkybut i am hoping that by the time i am ready to build the next server, that ubuntu will have a solution05:28
mkrufkythe issue is the stored procedures05:29
mkrufkyin the current src package for php-mssql, stored procedures are completely broken05:29
mkrufkyerr... s/current / breezy05:29
infinityFair enough.  I'm not going to backport patches to a stable release for source we don't even compile by default, obviously. :)05:31
mkrufkyhehe of course not05:32
mkrufkyand i have not tried the src packages in dapper, but for all i know they might work just fine05:32
mkrufkyinfinity: so, im just wondering about this......   i was considering a support license, but as of now we're going to wait some longer......   but here is my problem:05:43
mkrufkyi need the full mssql functionality before i can commit to running ubuntu on our servers....05:43
mkrufkyso, chicken or the egg... which comes first?05:44
mkrufkysupport licence will be a catalyst for ubuntu to fix it?05:44
mkrufkyor ubuntu fixing it will lead to my purchase of a support license?05:44
mkrufkyhow do these things get handled with other customers?05:44
infinityTBH, I'm not really positive how customers requiring custom packaging is handled.05:45
infinityObviously, I can get the support you need in for edgy, but the changes are fairly invasive to do what I want to do for dapper.05:46
mkrufkythats no problem05:51
mkrufkyjust knowing that it will definately be in the release after dapper is enough for me05:51
mkrufkyi would REALLY prefer using ubuntu on my servers.....05:51
mkrufkyi just feel better about .deb package management as opposed to redhat rpms.... and ubuntu is the best debian-based distro ive ever used05:52
infinityWell, you'll have your pick, as I intend to make the changes you need for both Edgy and Etch.05:53
infinity(Which should likely release around the same time)05:53
mkrufkywhat is the difference?  this is the first i am hearing of edgy and etch05:55
mkrufky(i've been slacking with my ubuntu news)05:55
infinityEdgy Eft == Next Ubuntu release after Dapper.  Etch is the next Debian release after Sarge.06:00
mkrufkyah!06:00
mkrufkywell, i am leaving a spare partition on this server for testing new OS's ..... when you have things ready, I'd be happy to run some tests for you06:01
mkrufkyto make sure that all works (esp stored procedures) before these get released06:01
infinityFair enough.  I should be making the changes in sid within the next month, and those'll trickle into both edgy and etch quickly enough.06:02
mkrufkygreat06:02
mkrufkydo u still have my email address ?06:03
mkrufky(i dont know if you know anybody else able to test mssql stored procedures)06:03
infinityI can test them myself.  I have an MSSQL Server setup here somewhere to test freetds and php-sybase with.06:06
infinityBut I'm pretty sure I still have your address too.06:06
mkrufkyok... if you remember, it would be cool if you could email me to let me know when to give it a whirl06:07
mkrufkyyou might have two email addresses for me... not sure... the one appropriate for this is my irc nick at silenttype dot com06:07
mkrufkythe other one is the same, at linuxtv dot org.... i think i accidentally used that one when i emailed the patch to u06:08
mkrufkyoops.. sorry wrong06:08
mkrufkymike at silenttype dot com -- that's it06:08
mkrufky(sorry for confusion)06:08
mkrufky...and thanx for the info06:09
