LLStarksi'd like to request a kernel rebase against the iwlwifi-2.6 git. over the past week, there has been a major commit to the tree that fixes the 3 year-old speed issue with iwl3945.06:27

mpoiriergood morning - the armel build for proposed is broken13:26
mpoirierhold on.13:26
mpoirierfixing lp 645689 broke it.13:27
ubot2Launchpad bug 645689 in linux (Ubuntu Maverick) (and 1 other project) "linux-omap cant bring up eth0 on igepv2 board, no network (affects: 1) (heat: 94)" [Undecided,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/64568913:27
sconklinmpoirier: sigh. OK, thanks. what are the symptoms of the failure?13:27
mpoirierI will fix it but after I file an SRU for it  or there is another process ?13:28
mpoirierits in the packaging steps.13:28
sconklinthinking13:28
mpoiriersconklin: you on ?15:16
sconklinmpoirier: yes15:18
mpoirierwho would know the arguments that are given to the build to generate the armel image found in the archive ?15:19
mpoirierI just did an fdr binary-omap and that worked properly.  I therefore have to assume the archive build is started differently.15:20
sconklinmpoirier: what we've just discovered in the last 5 minutes is that the patch to "temporarily disable module check for armel" is incorrect, so we can fix it without any changes from you. I'm sorry for the fire drill for you15:23
mpoirierSo I don't need to do anything for you then - right ?15:23
sconklinmpoirier: that's correct - no action required from you. Sorry to get you spun up.15:25
mpoirierok, when should I expect the armel image in -proposed to show up so that I can test the changes as requested ?15:26
repeteCan anyone tell me if rw to an NTFS volume is still experimental?15:36
repeteI noticed "CONFIG_NTFS_RW" is not set in the default kernel15:36
repetebut I could swear I could copy files to an NTFS partition...15:36
jk-repete: from CONFIG_NTFS_RW:15:41
jk-The only supported operation is overwriting existing files, without15:41
jk-  changing the file length.  No file or directory creation, deletion or15:41
jk-  renaming is possible. 15:41
jk-so I'm guessing this isn't what you would have used15:41
jk-maybe ntfs-3g? this a fuse FS for NTFS read/write15:42
repetejk-: thx.  Was just looking at that as the former seemed odd.15:43
repetejk-: btw are those comments in the config from the kernel source package?  I'm just looking at /boot/config-2.6.35-22-generic15:44
repeteand there doesn't appear to be any comments15:44
jk-repete: no problem15:45
jk-they're in the kernel tree itself, fs/ntfs/Kconfig15:45
jk-(so yes, kernel-source)15:46
repetegood old wikipedia.  That cleared things up. :-D15:47
repeteAnswer: It's complicated...15:48
jk-:)15:48

persiaapw, Just a follow-up on hardware-kernel-n-version-and-flavours: I thought I remembered an action item for someone to document how community-supported flavours should be uploaded or processed, but I don't see it listed.  Is that planned somewhere else?22:23
persiasconklin, Alternately, would that be part of "document officially supported flavours on a per release basis and who is responsible for those (eg ti etc)" ?22:24
apwpersia, not the latter22:24
persiaI'd presume that folks supporting kernels would have to integrate into such a thing for the future, though.22:25
apw[apw] write a skeleton document for outside consumers to reference for migrating from older versions/flavours:TODO22:25
apw#22:25
apwpersia, the above is suspected to mean that, though the words suck22:26
persiaOK.  I thought that meant handling the cases for kernels planned to be dropped entirely.22:26
persia(e.g. -versatile)22:26
apwhrm maybe so, there is no notes for that22:26
apwi'll add one22:26
persiaThanks.  I've had two people ask me when it happens already, and been answering "We'll have some more information soon", and just wanted to make sure it was actually being tracked.22:27
