[03:07] <NCommander> TheMuso, ping?
[03:08] <TheMuso> NCommander: Yo.
[03:08] <NCommander> TheMuso, how's live in Oz?
[03:09] <TheMuso> Life in Oz is currently well thanks. A little cold, but well. It wouldn't be so bad if the wind chill didn't have an effective temperature drop of 6 deg C.
[03:09] <TheMuso> Making the temperature outside about 06/-7.
[03:09] <TheMuso> And yes, we had a little sleet this morning, and some yesterday.
[03:10] <NCommander> TheMuso, it sounds lovely
[03:11] <TheMuso> haha
[03:11] <NCommander> TheMuso, (sorry, winter fetish thing coming out)
[03:11] <NCommander> I dunno, I don't like being cold, but I love being around cold weather
[03:12] <NCommander> TheMuso, I sent you two git patches for the ports tree
[03:12] <NCommander> one to ax HPPA, and one to restore kernel compression
[03:12] <NCommander> which should also get PowerPC netbooting in THEORY working again
[03:12] <TheMuso> NCommander: axing hppa is one I can deal with, since I've been asked to send a patch to the kernel guys to merge ports back into the linux package
[03:12] <TheMuso> the other patch I can include in my merge patch
[03:14] <NCommander> TheMuso, ah, cool. Thank you for being so proactive on this
[03:15] <TheMuso> NCommander: np
[03:15] <NCommander> TheMuso, in the good news for PowerPC, I'm now actively maintaining the apport retracer on powerpc
[03:15] <NCommander> ;-)
[03:15] <TheMuso> NCommander: Once I have got things merged, you can send the kernel guys pull requests as needed
[03:15] <TheMuso> NCommander: ooo nice
[03:15] <NCommander> Yup
[03:15] <TheMuso> So I won't bother with arches I don't have, i.e no ia64 or sparc. I will only deal with powerpc
[03:16] <NCommander> TheMuso, want some sparc and ia64 hardware :-)?
[03:16] <NCommander> TheMuso, I was hoping to get a ports upload soonish, just because this will fix the broken d-i issue, and I'd like to see images spin.
[03:16] <TheMuso> NCommander: No, I have enough hardware as it is.
[03:16] <NCommander> TheMuso, bah, your no fun :-P
[03:16] <TheMuso> NCommander: Well I hope to get this patch to the kernel guys in the coming days so we can have ports kernels updated when they upload
[03:17] <NCommander> Have you worked out how we're going to do the ports kernel w/ them?
[03:17] <TheMuso> NCommander: Yes. We drop everything in, and if a ports arch ftbfs, they need not worry. Its up to us to fix it.
