| dholbach | good morning | 07:28 |
|---|---|---|
| Mithrandir | StevenK: did you get anywhere with the EINVAL from mount when trying to mount squashfs? | 11:08 |
| StevenK | Mithrandir: Yup | 11:10 |
| StevenK | Mithrandir: New mksquashfs using LZMA, and a kernel that didn't support it | 11:10 |
| StevenK | Mithrandir: See my mail to mobile | 11:11 |
| Mithrandir | StevenK: d'oh, ok thanks. That's ever so slightly unfortunate. | 11:13 |
| StevenK | Mithrandir: Indeed. | 11:14 |
| StevenK | Mithrandir: I wish the news were different | 11:14 |
| Mithrandir | you mailed the list and said you stumbled on an unionfs bug? | 11:14 |
| StevenK | Right. I sent photos of the "kernel BUG" message to Amit and he said, "Argh! unionfs!" | 11:15 |
| Mithrandir | and that was with .24? | 11:15 |
| StevenK | That was with the kernel you built | 11:15 |
| Mithrandir | does the kernel even support lzma yet? | 11:16 |
| mjg59 | No | 11:16 |
| mjg59 | There's an external patch for it | 11:16 |
| StevenK | squashfs 3.3 says it does, and pkl merged it in | 11:16 |
| mjg59 | Orly? Excellent. | 11:16 |
| lool | StevenK: It seems you can pass -nolzma to newer mksquashfs for now :-/ | 11:16 |
| mjg59 | If we use that for the livecd, we potentially get win | 11:16 |
| StevenK | lool: Right. I hacked m-i-c to do so | 11:17 |
| StevenK | mjg59: LZMA looks to be the default for squashfs-tools 3.3, so let's see what Alpha2 gives us | 11:17 |
| StevenK | Mithrandir: I was going to keep pitti happy and look at the promotion problems next | 11:30 |
| Mithrandir | StevenK: makes sense. I'd liked us to have something we could give intel to start porting their graphics driver on, but it doesn't look too good then. :-/ | 11:31 |
| StevenK | Mithrandir: I discovered when I maintained ALSA that I'm not smart enough to work on the kernel | 11:35 |

| amitk_ | StevenK: Did pkl confirm that he merged LZMA support into LUM? | 12:14 |
| StevenK | He didn't confirm, but I read the changelog of 3.3, and that's what was pulled into l-u-m | 12:15 |
| amitk_ | StevenK: and you used the updated LUM too, right? | 12:15 |
| amitk_ | StevenK: ^^^ | 12:31 |
| StevenK | I used 2.2 | 12:34 |
| StevenK | Mithrandir: What do you think about the latest e-mail on u-m? | 13:59 |
| Mithrandir | the one about UME X startup? Just replied. | 14:04 |
| StevenK | Kay | 14:04 |
| smagoun | Is there a good way to add a diversion (via dpkg-divert) to a package that's already installed? The moblin guys and I have both run into problems because diversions are only supposed to happen on install, not upgrade. | 15:12 |
| smagoun | For example: A is installed. I want to add a file F to A'. F is already installed as package B. I want users upgrading from A to A' to get the the A' version of F. | 15:14 |
| smagoun | Mithrandir: lool StevenK ^^^^^ | 15:21 |
| lool | smagoun: You should be able to call dpkg-divert during upgrade in the very same way | 15:24 |
| lool | Make sure you test properly when to call it and think of all cases where you should remove it | 15:24 |
| lool | smagoun: How is your current problematic code looking like? | 15:25 |
| smagoun | lool: That's what I hoped, but this debian policy manual indicates I shouldn't check for upgrade: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ap-pkg-diversions.html | 15:25 |
| lool | smagoun: Oh right, I understand the limitation now | 15:25 |
| smagoun | lool: What I'm interested in right now is moblin's xf86-video-psb driver, which blindly copies a library on top of another one becuase diversion doesn't work in the upgrade case: http://moblin.org/repos/projects/xf86-video-psb.git/ | 15:26 |
| lool | smagoun: What the policy page says is that you should only call dpkg-divert once | 15:26 |
| lool | smagoun: If you simply call dpkg-divert without checking for $1 = install, it will run for upgrade, and other cases | 15:27 |
| smagoun | lool: right. So presumably I could check to see if the diversion's already been done by dpkg-diver --list? | 15:27 |
| lool | smagoun: The best thing to do is this indeed | 15:27 |
| lool | I'm checking whether I can hand a good example | 15:28 |
| smagoun | Ok, I think I understand. Since I'm only ever installing or upgrading that particular package version once, it's ok to divert in both the install and upgrade cases and I can skip the '$1 = install' | 15:28 |
| lool | smagoun: But basically your preinst should be something among the lines of: if install or upgrade and diversion_not_installed; then divert; fi | 15:29 |
| lool | if ( install or upgrade ) and diversion_not_installed | 15:29 |
| lool | Interestingly, I can only find examples contradicting policy :) | 15:30 |
| lool | if [ "$1" = install ] || [ "$1" = upgrade ] | 15:30 |
| lool | then | 15:30 |
| lool | dpkg-divert --add --package perl-doc --rename \ | 15:30 |
| lool | --divert /usr/bin/perldoc.stub /usr/bin/perldoc | 15:30 |
| smagoun | lool: thanks. I'll try that approach. | 15:32 |
| Mithrandir | StevenK: if you're still awake, prod me, I have a kernel I'd like you to try on your CB. | 16:53 |
| lool | How does one rebuild the amd64 kernel image? | 17:59 |
| lool | (From the git tree) | 17:59 |
| lool | StevenK: You had the command line for lpia? O:-) | 17:59 |
| Mithrandir | lool: debuild -e CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=13 -e PATH=/usr/lib/ccache:$PATH -uc -us -B is what I used | 18:08 |
| lool | Thanks! | 18:09 |
| Mithrandir | that concurrency level was fine with an 8 core machine, adjust as appropriate for your setup | 18:11 |
