| BenC | lamont: newer == better, IMO | 00:44 |
|---|---|---|
| BenC | No idea what is in the ubuntu changes though | 00:44 |
| lamont | the current changes are using tcl8.4 instead of 8.5 (could proabbly chnage for intrepid??) and dropping the cvsps depends (universe) | 00:46 |
| lamont | I was curious so I looked | 00:46 |
| lamont | if I get bored tonight, maybe I'll prepare a merge to pester folks with | 00:46 |
| lamont | just wanted you to have a chance to say "nonono" if you wanted to, before i worked. | 00:46 |

| gnomefreak | what are the general rules for backporting kernels? AFAIK its a big no but would like it confirmed for someone here | 12:37 |

| === gnomefre1k is now known as gnomefreak | ||
| BenC | gnomefreak: yeah, big NO | 16:48 |
| BenC | gnomefreak: we've considered it, but never justified the time and testing it would take | 16:48 |
| BenC | gnomefreak: that may change for hardy (LTS) if we find it is warranted at some later point | 16:48 |
| gnomefreak | BenC: thanks if i see the bug again ill let them know that its not gonna happen :) | 16:49 |
| gnomefreak | its a driver IIRC that the bug is about but it requires kernel backport someone added but ill be back later and look at it | 16:50 |

| soren | mjg59: You're probably most likely to know this: Is the wattage reported by powertop reliable? I can get my laptop to report under 10W, which is only around twice that of my NSLU2, which sort of brings its usefulness/wattage ratio into question. | 20:14 |
| soren | ...or does it not actually represent the "real" power consumption (i.e. what I will be billed by the power company)? | 20:15 |
| mpetersen | Can anyone tell me the best way to build a kernel module package that will replace a linux-ubuntu-module (specifically drbd 0.8 to 0.8.2) I built the package no problem, but I have to either --force-overwrite to install or end up with 2 drbd.ko modules? | 21:43 |
| BenC | mpetersen: put the other module in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates/ and it will override the one in lum | 23:07 |
| mkrufky | ! | 23:10 |
| mkrufky | i wish i knew that | 23:10 |
| mkrufky | BenC: i can tell the v4l/dvb build system to install modules to THAT location if it detects an ubuntu dir | 23:11 |
| mkrufky | ...that might help users that want bleeding edge driver support without worrying about trashing LUM or whatever's in-tree | 23:11 |
| BenC | mkrufky: it's default for module-init-tools to handle that (IOW, not ubuntu/debian specific) | 23:18 |
| mkrufky | thats very good to know -- i was previously not aware of that | 23:19 |
| mkrufky | perhaps v4l/dvb should install to that location for everybody | 23:19 |
| mkrufky | ....that would have avoided all the cx88 / saa7134 complaints after that alsa issue was addressed | 23:19 |
| BenC | mkrufky: just remember, that's where lbm installs them too (which is how we can override drivers ourselves) | 23:28 |
| mkrufky | hmm... "lbm" ? | 23:30 |
| mkrufky | apparantly thats a popular acronym | 23:30 |
| BenC | linux-backports-modules | 23:32 |
| mkrufky | i should have known | 23:32 |
| mkrufky | lol | 23:32 |
| mkrufky | i will leave v4l/dvb as it is | 23:32 |
| mpetersen | BenC: so 'install -m644 -b -D drbd/drbd.$(KO)o $(CURDIR)/debian/$(PKGNAME)/lib/modules/$(KVERS)/updates/drbd.$(KO)o' instead of 'install -m644 -b -D drbd/drbd.$(KO)o $(CURDIR)/debian/$(PKGNAME)/lib/modules/$(KVERS)/ubuntu/block/drbd/drbd.$(KO)o' should work? nifty, I'll try that. | 23:41 |
