| krgn | good morning | 10:13 |
|---|---|---|
| krgn | hey, is there a way to remove certain arches from debian/config/* ? updateconfigs fails because I removed some dir's for arches i don't want to build for | 10:14 |
| Daviey | krgn: Wouldn't it make more sense to only build for the arches you want to build for? | 10:17 |
| amitk | krgn: if all you need is a single flavour, just using the binary-<flavour> target | 10:18 |
| krgn | Daviey: true, but when using updateconfigs target i have to go through tons of configs which I am too lazy to do ;) | 10:18 |
| amitk | fakeroot debian/rules binary->flavour>, that is | 10:18 |
| Daviey | ^^ Surely you can do that :) | 10:18 |
| krgn | I guess I can just switch myself off for a little while | 10:19 |
| krgn | hey, is there a way to get sources for the mainline kernel anywhere? | 11:10 |
| Kano | git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git | 11:12 |
| Kano | ? | 11:12 |
| krgn | Kano: ok ok, but I also need the ubuntu-specific stuff | 11:12 |
| Kano | well you can use a ubuntu kernel then git pull from that | 11:13 |
| Kano | that will update it | 11:13 |
| krgn | you mean, git checkout origin/v2.6.29 or something | 11:13 |
| krgn | ? | 11:13 |
| Kano | git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-karmic.git | 11:14 |
| Kano | cd ubuntu-karmic. | 11:14 |
| Kano | git pull git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git master | 11:15 |
| Kano | for example | 11:15 |
| krgn | Kano: great, I'll try this. thanks | 11:16 |
| Kano | i am waiting for next official sync currently but you can do that to update that whenever you want | 11:17 |
| krgn | hmm weird, I end up without debian/rules etc... | 11:30 |
| krgn | hey, are there deb source files for the mainline kernel builds? | 11:48 |
| amitk | krgn: I pointed those out to you yesterday | 11:49 |
| krgn | amitk: this page: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ ? | 11:49 |
| amitk | krgn: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/MainlineBuilds?action=show&redirect=KernelMainlineBuilds | 11:49 |
| amitk | go to the archive link on this page | 11:50 |
| amitk | krgn: your link should work too | 11:50 |
| krgn | amitk: ah but these don't have source debs so I can see how the packaging is done | 11:51 |
| amitk | krgn: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.31-rc4/linux-source-2.6.31_2.6.31-020631rc4_all.deb <-- this doesnt? | 11:51 |
| amitk | apw: ^^^ | 11:51 |
| apw | yeah i thought we had source debs in the mainline builds? | 11:52 |
| krgn | amitk: ah yes, but then I need to use specific version 2.6.29.6 as I patch with rt patch and aufs, and the linux-source deb doesn't contain a lot of the files in debian/* | 11:53 |
| krgn | its quite convoluted :) | 11:53 |
| apw | krgn? | 11:53 |
| apw | oh hrm source .debs ... | 11:53 |
| apw | are we copying the wrong one? | 11:53 |
| krgn | apw: you mean wrong deb? I think that .31 would be ok, but I can't use that yet since aufs doesn't have a compat patch for rt | 11:54 |
| apw | well the way they are made is we simply checkout the mainline version, then checkout the debian directory from the tip of the nearest release and run updateconfigs | 11:55 |
| apw | then build, there is no rocket science involved | 11:55 |
| krgn | apw: ah yes, thats exactly what I did. then I ran into build failure that only happens with the debian/rules binary-arch but not when I just put a config and run make | 11:57 |
| krgn | which is strange to me, since it doen't seem to patch anything | 11:57 |
| apw | what was the build failure as we don't mod the source | 11:58 |
| krgn | it fails to build kernel/power/snapshot.c because apparently there is a parse error, but this doesn't happen when I do the build manually | 11:59 |
| krgn | http://pastebin.ca/1529303 | 12:01 |
| amitk | apw: what was the rune to quickly create a branch? 'git checkout -b foo' takes a while | 12:07 |
| apw | if you don't need to be on it | 12:07 |
| apw | then you can make a branch directly with git branch <name> <commitish> | 12:08 |
| amitk | aaaaaaaah, I do need to be on it. | 12:09 |
| apw | if you need to be on it i don't know of a quicker way | 12:16 |

| ukev | hi... did you heared of the linux kernel root exploit? | 13:44 |
| ukev | I've just tested it, jaunty full patched is vulnerable.. | 13:44 |
| ukev | no one here? | 13:47 |
| ukev | its important | 13:47 |
| amitk | ukev: our -security teams are aware of it and kernel updates are being prepared | 13:48 |
| ukev | ok great :).... | 13:49 |
| ukev | thanks for all the work! | 13:49 |
| amitk | ukev: you could join #ubuntu-security to track status | 13:49 |
| ukev | ok thanks for that hint | 13:49 |
| * krgn wonders... are any .h / .c files by default in debian/ dir? | 13:58 | |
| krgn | this build error could be related to mismatching source/header files | 13:58 |
| krgn | for example, there are 3 different files called power.h in debian/ while this also exists in kernel/power/ | 13:59 |
| krgn | sorry for all teh confusing and ... thanks for the help! | 15:22 |
| amitk | usb oops and apport == fail (atleast in my case) | 15:58 |
| amitk | lsusb was stuck in a loop and hence apport for stuck | 15:59 |
| amitk | s/for/was | 15:59 |
| krgn | is this a common mistake? | 17:23 |
| krgn | EE: Previous or current ABI file missing! | 17:23 |
| krgn | I built binary-generic target, and so for this kernel version only one abi exists | 17:24 |
| jnfuller | can I ask a kernel compilation question here or is this only for development discussion? | 18:08 |
| jnfuller | mostly what I am wondering is: if I am currently running 2.6.28-14-generic (#47) and I apt-get linux source I end up with 2-6-28-9. If I apply Linus' patch for the null pointer exploit to this tree and then make and install the deb for the custom kernel what sort of issues will I have in relation to the restricted-modules. Will I need to recompile those for the new custom kernel? | 18:16 |
| jnfuller | Or... is the patch in the works for a new kernel from the offical repos and I shouldn't bother? | 18:17 |
| rtg | jnfuller, the latter | 18:21 |
| jnfuller | thanks, rtg, but if I do end up having to apply this kernel (i.e. boss demands it on production systems) I'd have to apply the kernel, reboot and then compile the restricted-modules against the custom kernel in order for the proprietary stuff to work, right? | 18:28 |
| rtg | jnfuller, any time you change the ABI, then you'll have to recompile all external, 3rd party modules. | 18:30 |
| jnfuller | ok that's what I thought. | 18:30 |
| jnfuller | thanks again | 18:30 |
| krgn | hey, how do I bump the abi? do I do this in the changelog? | 18:33 |
