| jroth | ping doko | 09:55 |
|---|---|---|
| doko | ? | 09:58 |
| jroth | I heard that you are the maintainer for libspe in ubuntu, is that right? | 09:58 |
| doko | I did the initial packaging, now it's a community port | 10:00 |
| doko | just reading the backlog on #cell | 10:00 |
| doko | so what is the issue with the libspe package? | 10:02 |
| jroth | well there is no issue | 10:03 |
| jroth | I'm about to maintain it for fedora | 10:04 |
| jroth | and I had a look where you guys put the spu include files | 10:04 |
| jroth | ubuntu puts it into /usr/spu/include and gentoo in /usr/spu-elf/include | 10:04 |
| jroth | and I thought it would be nice if there is a common understanding about cross-compiling include files and libs. | 10:05 |
| jroth | Before fedora decides to put it into /usr/spu-linux/include for example .... | 10:05 |
| doko | ahh, ok. I did look at the rpm packages of the barcelona supercomputing center, and then tried to stick to those as a reference | 10:05 |
| jroth | yes, the Cell SDK3.0 puts them in /usr/spu/include and all these crappy SDK makefiles have these paths hardcoded | 10:06 |
| doko | arthur- is working as well on the packages (also on the #cell channel). | 10:06 |
| jroth | I won't care about breaking these makefile infrastructure. | 10:07 |
| doko | I think it doesn't matter that much; if you like spu-elf instead, then maybe provide a symlink to spu | 10:07 |
| jroth | I just want to do the right thing | 10:07 |
| jroth | ok | 10:07 |
| doko | but once this symlink is in place you may have a hard time to replace it with a directory | 10:08 |
| doko | at least that's the case for deb based packages | 10:08 |
| arthur- | doko: cool you're up, you can write an email for my AM report ;^P | 10:09 |
| doko | oops | 10:09 |
| jroth | yes, and that is also the reason why I care about it. I want to avoid trouble in the future ;-) | 10:09 |
| doko | yeah, the weather was fine in the beer garden yesterday ... | 10:09 |
| doko | looks like /usr/spu is less trouble | 10:10 |
| arthur- | I also think so | 10:10 |
| arthur- | doko: eheh. I bouced you the mail, should be 20080602082848.GE10696@artemis.madism.org | 10:11 |
| jroth | ok, good. I'm preparing a discussion on the fedora-devel list. Would you mind if I put you on cc ? | 10:11 |
| doko | np | 10:12 |
| arthur- | jroth: please also Cc arthur.loiret@u-psud.fr | 10:13 |
| doko | we use the gnu system alias for other names as well (instead of the canonical gnu system name) | 10:13 |
| doko | ohh, and munckfish seems to be interested in cell as well | 10:14 |
| arthur- | doko: btw I answered pitti's mail on BTS, perhaps should have Cc'ed you | 10:15 |
| arthur- | http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=483399#20 | 10:15 |
| arthur- | doko: please don't forget my AM mail this time ;-) | 14:10 |
| chef123 | hello how do i get ubuntu support | 20:51 |
