jbaileybenc: http://git.infradead.org/?p=hdrinstall2-2.6.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=master;hp=linus12:22
BenCjbailey: excellent, thanks12:24
BenCjbailey: It's in12:30
BenCI'll wait to do the actual linux-kernel-headers packages, till you can test some things12:31
jbaileyBenC: Nice!  Are you working on abi -2 now?  I noticed that your nightlies seem to be -2.12:31
jbaileyYup.12:31
jbaileyI'll do an upload of the tarball extract first.12:31
BenClast nightly should have been -312:31
BenCif not, it will be soon12:31
jbaileyThen migrate the stuff to your package.12:31
jbaileyI haven't looked since last week, before 2.6.17 was in edgy.12:31
BenCgoing to do another daily now to test build this after merging xen and your patch12:32
BenCinfinity and I are planning a "linux-image/lrm/linux-meta upload" BoF sometime this week12:32
jbaileyAh, nice.12:33
jbaileyI'm just trying to guess how the version numbering should go, so I don't stop on yours by accident.12:35
jbailey2.6.17-ABI-Ubunturev?12:35
jbaileyOr do use 2.6.17-ABI.Rev?12:35
BenCfor the dailys?12:38
zulBenC: my xen patch is almost done for x86, its a 2 meg patch ;012:39
zulbut now it kill some people12:39
zuldoh...s/it/to/12:40
ajmitch:)12:40
ajmitchwho do you plan to kill off?12:40
BenCzul: I already have xen in git :)12:40
ajmitchBenC: you'll make him cry, you know12:40
BenCjbailey: the dailys use 2.6.17-ABI-<squished git sha of head>12:41
jbaileyBenC: No, I mean for what version lkh will wind up having when it comes from the kernel.12:41
BenCare lkh arch dependent?12:42
BenCyep, asm is at least12:42
jbaileyNo.  there's an asm symlink needed.12:42
jbaileyerr.12:43
BenCah, ok12:43
jbaileyyes, dependant.12:43
zulBenC: hmmm...ok12:43
BenCbleh, make up your mind :)12:43
jbaileyIt could be indep if you'd rather.12:43
jbaileySorry, I read it as 'independant' first.12:43
jbaileyIt would just require a postinst.12:43
BenCjbailey: linux-kernel-headers-2.6.17-ABI-ARCH12:43
jbaileyWait.12:43
jbaileyno, I'm smoking.12:43
jbaileyThe idea had been to actually only install the headers that a particular arch needs.  It's an easy variable to set:12:44
jbaileymake ARCH=$arch INSTALL_HDR_PATH=/tmp/foo/$arch headers_install12:44
jbaileySo definetly dependant.12:44
BenCand I'll make a linux-meta for linux-kernel-headers so it's easier to build-dep on12:44
jbaileyglibc needs to dep on it.12:45
BenCactually, the ABI is probably pointless12:45
jbaileyor libc6-dev does, anyway.12:45
BenClinux-kernel-headers-2.6.1712:45
BenCthen you can ver build-dep if you need to12:45
jbaileyMmmm..12:45
jbaileyThe package itself shouldn't contain that.12:46
BenCthe arch and abi in the package name is useless12:46
jbaileyOtherwise it's another package colletion to pile up.12:46
jbaileyI think so is the version number,12:46
BenCso just linux-kernel-headers?12:46
jbaileyPlease.12:46
jbaileyThen nothing else needs to change for all of the build-deps that are out there.12:46
BenCok12:47
jbaileyBut I'm wondering about the version number that will go with it.12:47
jbaileyI want to make sure that the upload I do now doesn't wind up being newer by accident.12:47

zulBenC: where did you get the xen patch from?01:52
BenCxensource01:52
BenCand I brute forced it into our tree01:52
zulah...and it compiles?01:52
BenCdoing some compile testing now01:53
BenCfew quirks, but I think I've worked out all the kinks01:53
zulyeah it redefined a couple of things01:53
zulat least when i was compiling it01:54
zulbut then again i suck..:)01:54
BenCI'm running into the vsyscall crap now01:58
zulyeah thats a fun part02:02
BenCthink I got it...gotta start another build to find out02:06
zuldid you fix that config_early_printk as well?02:06

zulBenC: look for CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK02:14
zulhey jeffrey how is it going?02:14
zulBenC: there should be better coordinating between us since i was doing an xen patch as well02:20
zulso there isnt any duplication of work02:23

=== doko [n=doko@81.80.162.93] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
BenCyay, it built02:40
ajmitchgood02:41
BenCno xen enabled kernels yet, but the stock targets build...that's step one02:41
ajmitchnow to get it working :)02:41
=== ajmitch wishes there were a non-rsync way of doing git pull for us mortals
BenCthere's the git protocol, but I've never used it, and I'm not sure if git.kernel.org runs it02:42
BenCyou can try git-pull git://git.kernel.org/....02:42
ajmitchmy ISP seems to hate rsync02:42
ajmitchso when there's a 120MB pack file to pull down, it dies02:43
zulBenC: i can add my config.xen tonight if you want02:43
BenCI'm waiting to see what we can yank out of the default kernel02:43
BenCiwj is supposed to assist with most of everything else02:44
BenClike userspace tools and testing02:44
zulok02:44
BenCI'm just wondering if we can have our default kernels Xen enabled02:44
BenCthey need to be in order to be dom0/host right?02:44
zuli used debian as a template02:44
zuli had like linux-image-2.6.12-3-xen with the kernel-pacakge from sid02:45
MithrandirBenC: apparently, that'll break nvidia and fglrx modules.02:45
MithrandirBenC: I would not be very amused if so happened.02:45
BenCthis is getting worse02:47
BenCI'm half tempted to just revert this whole damn thing02:47
zulheh02:48
BenCwhy couldn't they make a nice simple patch02:48
BenCwhy the fuck do they have this whole parse tree and patches, and both conflict02:48
BenCs/parse/sparse/02:48
BenCI need a break, this is pissing me off02:50

zulBenC: need my help?03:03
BenCnah, just help when I get it building03:03
BenCdo you know how to setup a xen system?03:04

lifelessBenC: as xen and binary drivers do not play at all well03:51
BenCwhat do you mean need a new kernel first?03:52
BenCcan a xen patched kernel, even though it doesn't have xen enabled, not work with our l-r-m package?03:53

BenCxen is now official not going into dapper05:39
BenCerr, edgy05:39
Mithrandirwhat about edgy?05:39
Mithrandir:-P05:39
Mithrandiryou might want to tell Ian, then.05:39
Mithrandiralso, why?  Because you're fed up?05:39
BenCI'll break it to him gently05:39
BenCno, because it simply doesn't compile when you are not compiling a xen target05:39
Mithrandiruh05:40
BenCand the amount of breakage will just increase my maint. time down the road for it05:40
Mithrandirthat's special.05:40
BenCI could fix it, but I don't want to05:40
Mithrandirand fixing it is nontrivial, I guess?05:40
ajmitchwonderful05:40
zuli could give it a shot in my copius spare time05:41
BenCyeah, it's very non-trivial, and very intrusive, and with the way I have to import xen into our tree, it's a lot of work to keep it that way while still following xen05:41
BenCzul: Don't bother, it's not the getting it to work part, it's the keeping it working part that bothers me05:41
Mithrandirand xen upstream's not happy to make it not break the regular kernels?05:42
BenCif they decide to make a git tree, and make it compile when !CONFIG_XEN, then I'll pull it in05:42
zulBenC: you wouldnt have to maintain it i could if you want05:42
TheMusoBenC: Speakup upstream is looking into getting a git tree up. Will keep you posted.05:42
zulim volunteering *eep*05:43
BenCzul: In  a way, I still have to maintain it, but if you're willing to try, start a -xen branch in git and make it work05:43
zulok05:44
BenCTheMuso: that sounds really good05:44
BenCTheMuso: Can I get your to forward a patch for speakup?05:44
TheMusoYeah it does.05:44
TheMusoCertainly.05:45
BenCTheMuso: it's a rework for the keyboard.c file, so it's just a replacement diff05:45
BenCTheMuso: email?05:45
TheMusoThat would be great. Thanks.05:45
TheMusoThere is also another slight issue that I might talk over with you at some point when you aren't so busy. Doesn't have to be in person, so IRC is fine, and doesn't have to be this week either. It is to do with speakup softsynth driver and kernel preempt, but I will explain later when we talk about it.05:46

TheMusoAlsaconf has been depricated for ages AFAIK.06:37
irvrI guess I am not sure what you mean by this06:38
TheMusoAlsaconf is no longer used for detecting and setting up soundcards.06:39
irvrIf I use AFAIK how can I get the sound back with this new kernel?06:40
