tedgCan you guys get to the X.org git repository?20:13
tedg$ git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/doc/xorg-docs/specs/20:13
tedgInitialized empty Git repository in /home/ted/Development/xorg/specs/.git/20:13
tedgfatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly20:13
tedgfetch-pack from 'git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/doc/xorg-docs/specs/' failed.20:13
brycelemme try20:20
tedgI blame 'git' ;)20:20
brycehmm, it appeared to work, but then I got a wonky error20:21
bryce...20:21
bryce* refs/heads/glucose-2: fast forward to branch 'glucose-2' of git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/xserver20:21

brycefatal: Fetch failure: git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/xserver20:21
brycebut yes, I can get to the git repo20:22
tedgWow, seems to be diabetic...20:22
tedgDo you have anything in your ~/.git that I should have?20:22
brycegitme the suga baby20:22
bryceI don't have a ~/.git20:22
tedgHmm, is there a bazaar mirror? ;)20:24
tedgCan you e-mail me the XSMP spec?  That'll probably be easiest at this point.20:25
brycewhere in the tree is it?20:26
tedgxorg/doc/xorg-docs/specs/SM20:27
brycegit clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/doc/xorg-docs  worked for me20:32
brycefwiw, you can also do apt-get source xorg-docs and get pretty much the same20:32
brycein any case, here's the files:  http://bryceharrington.org/files/SM/20:33
tedgbryce: Cool, thanks.20:35
tedgbryce: Okay, is there a editor that humans can use for that file?20:43
brycewhat's so hard about troff?20:44
bryceI enjoy teasing you almost as much as you me ;-)20:44
brycetedg: I've got NFI20:44
brycethe xorg guys are ornery bastards and I bet they edit it in vi20:45
bryceand they LIKE it20:45
brycebecause they can do it while walking to school uphill in the snow20:46
tedgOkay, what a PITA.20:46
tedgI think I'll probably use VI then.20:46
tedgOr, go with a little luxury and use VIM -- not the real experience, but close.20:47
brycelooking at the other specs it seems many of them just use plain text20:47
brycetroff does not seem to be the typical format; maybe that was just a peculiarity of whomever wrote it20:48
bryceperhaps difficulty editing it is a contributing factor to the reason why it seems unmaintained and disconnected from everything else20:48
tedgYeah, could be.  I'll just use Frontpage and put it in pseudo-HTML ;)20:49
brycethere you go20:49

ubotuNew bug: #144045 in linux-source-2.6.22 (main) "hibernate does not work on Thinkpad t42 in Gutsy Gibbon (dup-of: 121653)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/14404521:56
tjaaltonbryce: hey, I uploaded xorg with two small changes, and probably the last upload before -8 which drops xresprobe22:28
bryceheya tjaalton22:28
brycecool22:29
bryceI'm still hacking on tormod's script and trying to figure out git merge issues22:29
bryce(I'm pondering if bzr's merge works any better...)22:29
tormodheya bryce!22:29
tjaaltonwe still need to figure out what to do with livecd cleaning up the xorg.conf stub22:29
tormodgot my last patch? :)22:30
brycetormod: yup, applied and pushed22:30
tjaaltonbryce: ok, I still haven't tried the script22:30
brycetjaalton: yeah...  any thoughts on that?  we seem to be accumulating bug reports about that22:30
brycetjaalton: don't worry about it, I've still got avenues to explore22:30
brycebasically I think I just need better git-fu22:31
brycetjaalton: oh one question22:31
tjaaltonbryce: well I'm thinking that it's not our bug, but maybe the way it's handled in pre/postinst could be improved 22:31
brycetormod and I want to share access to the git repo for this script, ala svn.  I know this can be done with bzr in launchpad, but how do we achieve that with git on alioth?22:32
brycetormod: oh whoops just saw your latest patch, I do need to add that22:32
brycetormod: I got the -D option, the rest is new22:33
tjaaltonbryce: well, there are a lot of projects under "collab-maint", but I'm not sure how to set up one22:33
tjaaltonbryce: you want to share commit access?22:38
tjaaltoncollab-maint seems to be meant for debian packages22:38
brycehrm22:39
tjaaltonor do you just mean to put it somewhere for people to clone?22:39
bryceno, the latter's already set up22:40
bryceI'm just thinking, that I'm going to be a bottleneck for tormod (or vice versa if tormod was maintaining the git repo for it)22:40
bryceanyway, I guess it's fine this way for now.  I was just hoping there'd be a simple way to flip it on, like with bzr22:41
tjaaltonwell, even though the tool uses git, does it have to be maintained in git?-)22:41
tormodbryce: I think the closest we can get is that I set up my own repo, and you pull changes from me on request.22:42
tormodbryce: and I can might as well send you diffs... I don't have bigger plans for it now.22:42
bryceok sounds good22:43
tormodtjaalton: it's a git exercise for us :)22:43
tjaaltontormod: hehe, as good a reason as any ;)22:43
brycetormod: I've applied and pushed your patch (for real this time)22:43
tormodhave you tested it on all libraries etc lately?22:43
bryceactually it sort of is.  ;-)  I've never done a git thing from scratch, only following other people's trees, so this is exposing me to some new bits22:44
brycetormod: yes I ran it on everything a few minutes ago.  It's still failing on a large chunk, and I'm going to investigate further22:44
tjaaltonbryce: I haven't done that either22:44
bryceI'm going to make xorg-pkg-all.sh try multiple approaches (first without dropping patches against -experimental, then against -unstable, then with patches dropped...)22:45
tormodwould be cool if we could have "xorg daily" packages repo! and use the cd-customization scripts to make a daily xorg CD. that's my master plan.22:45
bryceyup, that's what I'm shooting for here as well22:46
tjaaltonalmost made the xorg upload an excercise of pulling specific debian changes in it, but figured out that -8 is coming soon so wasn't worth the trouble22:46
brycealthough I was thinking ppa rather than daily cd, but that's a pretty good idea too22:47
tormodso upstream can say instead of "please try latest from git" : try the daily xorg live cd. and by wicked conspiracy, soon everybody is using Ubuntu. 22:47
bryce>-)  bwahaha22:47
tjaaltonget them built first ;)22:47
bryceactually yeah it seems every week someone asks for this on the xorg list, so it solves a practical need22:48
bryceon it22:48
tormodat the moment alpha-1 is almost this, but it's only close twice a year22:49
tormodthanks to tjaalton, I must say22:50
bryceyes22:50
tjaaltonbah, its nowhere near HEAD ;)22:51
bryceI meant yes, it's thanks to tjaalton ;-)22:51
bryceand really, aside from xserver and a few drivers, most things should be fairly close to head right now22:51
tjaaltonheh, yeah22:51
tedgOkay, so I can't even recreate the PDF file I have.  Is there some sort of troff stylesheet or instructions or something?22:52
brycetedg: no idea22:52
brycetedg: don't you need to run troff to turn it into a .ps first?22:52
tedgYes, but my PS file has no paragraphs.22:53
tedgps2pdf won't fix that.22:53
tjaaltonbryce: hey, did you say that you are going to look at the XKB hell?23:10
tjaaltonI just got a new keyboard and most of the special keys aren't working and I wonder how to make them produce events23:15
tjaaltonbut I'll figure it out later, now to bed.. seeya ->23:16
brycecya23:18
