| Kamion | kylem_: yes, feel free to ping me about stuff in edgy d-i | 01:34 |
|---|---|---|
| Kamion | kozz: the mkvmlinuz hook problem isn't mkvmlinuz' fault - it's because the kernel's postinst calls update-initramfs, which outputs to stdout and confuses debconf | 01:39 |
| Kamion | BenC: what's the right answer there, do you think? fix kernel-package to redirect the update-initramfs call 1>&2, or fix update-initramfs to update everything to stderr? | 01:39 |
| Kamion | from update-initramfs' point of view, it's status information and should go to stdout, so my inclination would be to redirect in the kernel postinst since that's the one with unusual requirements | 01:40 |
| Kamion | kozz: (20 is debconf's syntax error code; put 'set -x' at the top of /etc/kernel/postinst.d/mkvmlinuz and you'll see the error from debconf which goes '20 Unsupported command "update-initramfs:" (full line was "update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-5-powerpc") received from confmodule.') | 01:41 |
| Kamion | confirmed, sticking >&2 on the end of the kernel's update-initramfs invocation makes debconf-using postinst hooks happy again, will stick that in the relevant bug | 01:46 |

| infinity | BenC: Pong. Sorry, was having a much-needed nap. | 06:25 |
| BenC | infinity: no problem...just wondering, I have a friend with a new toshiba laptop, and the atheros card in it reports "hardware revision too new" when new_ath_pci is loaded | 06:26 |
| BenC | any ideas? | 06:26 |
| infinity | We probbaly want a new upstream version, which I was going to pull RSN. | 06:26 |
| BenC | ok | 06:27 |
| infinity | By RSN, I mean later today. | 06:27 |
| infinity | Since I need to make fglrx happy and some other things too. | 06:27 |

| zul | congrats again | 05:05 |
| fabbione | thanks zul | 05:05 |
| fabbione | BenC: can you please pull from my edgy branch? i have a gfs/gfs2/dlmfs update pending from before i left for leave | 05:06 |

| fabbione | BenC: great thanks. btw i assume you did pull from me also for the upload i did while you were in holidays | 05:54 |
| BenC | yeah, got that, thanks | 06:00 |
| fabbione | no problem at all | 06:04 |
| fabbione | BenC: i didn't fix some missing headers on sparc tho | 06:04 |
| fabbione | that problem still needs to be addressed | 06:04 |
| BenC | what headers? | 06:09 |
| fabbione | the one for Xorg at least | 06:10 |
| fabbione | (that i remember..) | 06:10 |
| fabbione | we should really cross check with infinity and see.. he has a better access to logs than i do | 06:11 |
| BenC | fabbione: from what I recall, the one in xorg could be fixed more easily in xorg | 06:16 |
| BenC | was a bogus include | 06:16 |
| fabbione | ok.. i don't really care till it gets fixed somehow | 06:16 |
| fabbione | :) | 06:16 |

| zul | BenC: people have been asking me about xen and 2.6.17 i have a patch without the smp-alt that im currently in the proccess of doing, ill let you know. | 07:25 |

| jbailey | Something came up while looking at the linux test project with someone at hp. linux/limits.h defines NGROUPS_MAX, but the value is now available from /proc/sys/kernel/ngroups_max | 09:46 |
| jbailey | Glibc has supported giving a value through sysconf for some time (although until the 2.4 kernel, the value given was hardcoded from the kernel headers) | 09:47 |
| jbailey | I suspect that the constant should now be removed from linux/limits.h, since it runs a reasonable chance of being wrong. | 09:47 |
| jbailey | How do patches like that which aren't for specific subsystems submitted? | 09:48 |
| BenC | jbailey: not sure, probably wrap it in __KERNEL__ or something | 10:05 |
| Kamion | jbailey: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/limits.h.html appears to say that it has to be there anyway | 10:23 |
| Kamion | "The magnitude limitations in the following list shall be fixed by specific implementations. An application should assume that the value supplied by <limits.h> in a specific implementation is the minimum that pertains whenever the application is run under that implementation. A specific instance of a specific implementation may increase the value relative to that supplied by <limits.h> for that implementation. The actu | 10:23 |
| Kamion | other sections in that page say that the definition can be omitted if the value is indeterminate, but not that section | 10:23 |
| jbailey | Kamion: Right, that's value needs to have a minimum guarnateed value, which posix specifies as 8. | 10:56 |
| jbailey | It looks like the glibc bits/posix1_lim.h file is already setup to provide that if the kernel doesn't. | 10:56 |
| jbailey | Our headers are setup right now to essentially provide a fixed value that we can't promise from the kernel. Having the low value there would be sucky, but I wonder if there's a buffer overrun risk by having mismatched values between the kernel and the headers. | 10:58 |
| jbailey | (This came up somewhat because someone noted that the shipping kernel in Sarge and the shipping headers in Sarge have differing values for this) | 10:58 |
| Kamion | jbailey: ah right, didn't know glibc provided it | 11:30 |
| Kamion | I would prefer not massively reducing that value though, if possible | 11:30 |
| jbailey | I wonder how many programs actually rely on the constant instead of using sysconf correctly? | 11:34 |

| mjg59 | BenC: How many patches did you forward-port from 2.6.15? | 12:02 |
| crimsun | (at least the jack sense blacklist, but that's the only one I know offhand. I know the quiesce-ipw2200 one got dropped) | 12:04 |
| mjg59 | Yeah, I'm just trying to work out how many I need to check out myself | 12:07 |
