| ScottL | TheMuso, ack | 00:11 |
|---|---|---|
| TheMuso | ScottL: Ah I see why it was failing to build properly using an orig tarball and a diff.gz... abogani used symlinks, and a .diff.gz cannot represent symlinks. | 00:26 |
| TheMuso | ScottL: Ok a much improved low latency kernel now on revu. | 00:46 |
| ScottL | TheMuso, outstanding! | 01:13 |
| ScottL | i'll poke apw about it | 01:13 |
| TheMuso | ScottL: Hold up. I am going to push my changes to a git repo so he can look that over if need be. Give me a sec and I'll give you the URL for it. | 01:14 |
| ScottL | okay :) | 01:14 |
| TheMuso | ScottL: Ok, I've pushed the current state of things to git://kernel.ubuntu.com/themuso/ubuntu-precise-lowlatency.git | 01:18 |
| TheMuso | afk for a bit | 01:20 |
| ScottL | digging into the theme not settings, the lightdm not settings, and the xsession not settings thanks to len 's notes | 02:51 |
| scott-work | i'm not sure what to do, i have ping apw (kernel UKT guy) several times about the lowlatency kernel, in particular to ask about an ETA for his check, and i've gotten no response | 17:20 |
| scott-work | i really don't want to be dorky about this and make him mad by continuous pinging though | 17:20 |
| scott-work | that is NOT a bridge i would like to burn | 17:20 |
| holstein | yeah... whats the timeline though? | 17:20 |
| scott-work | i believe today is the feature freeze (although i could check that fact), which has been infered as the date we would need to get this done | 17:22 |
| scott-work | of course, we could also file a FFe | 17:22 |
| holstein | extension? | 17:22 |
| scott-work | tgardner says he will look at it though now :) | 17:22 |
| ailo | Feature freeze should be today within a few hours | 17:35 |
| ailo | Great work scott-work | 17:35 |
| scott-work | ailo: thank you, but i really didn't do any _real_ work...basically it was been abogani and TheMuso | 17:36 |
| ailo | scott-work: Absolutely, but you will have done your bit to help get the kernel into the repo, which is where we need it. | 17:38 |
| scott-work | agreed | 17:38 |
| TheMuso | scott-work: Anybody uploaded the kernel to precise yet? | 20:23 |
| TheMuso | scott-work: I only ask because Tim gave his ok on revu. | 20:24 |
| ailo | scott-work_: ping | 20:25 |
| scott-work_ | TheMuso: ailo: sorry, been away doing stuff | 20:25 |
| scott-work_ | TheMuso: i am not aware that anyone has uploaded it | 20:26 |
| scott-work_ | TheMuso: would you like me to query a specific channel about the potential upload? | 20:26 |
| scott-work_ | ailo: thank you for pinging me again | 20:26 |
| TheMuso | scott-work_: No, I don't think it would have been uploaded yet, so I will do it, and we will see how things go. I am confident it should be ok given Tim's review. | 20:27 |
| scott-work_ | TheMuso: outstanding! | 20:27 |
| TheMuso | scott-work_: We only then need to get a meta package into the archive, but that shouldn't be difficult. | 20:27 |
| scott-work_ | quite an exciting milestone for us | 20:27 |
| TheMuso | Indeed. | 20:27 |
| * TheMuso goes to push the button. | 20:28 | |
| scott-work_ | TheMuso: and update our seeds to include the kernel as well :) | 20:28 |
| * ailo stands ready with the champagne | 20:28 | |
| micahg | TheMuso: you still need a second MOTU to review it | 20:28 |
| holstein | w00t! | 20:28 |
| TheMuso | micahg: Tim is a core-dev? | 20:29 |
| micahg | oh? | 20:29 |
| TheMuso | He didn't actually advocate on revu, but gave it a +1. | 20:29 |
| TheMuso | in comments. | 20:29 |
| * TheMuso checks to be sure. | 20:30 | |
| micahg | yeah, he is | 20:30 |
| micahg | phew, saves me from doing it :) | 20:30 |
| TheMuso | Ok, will go ahead then. | 20:31 |
| TheMuso | abogani: Please pull from git://kernel.ubuntu.com/themuso/ubuntu-precise-lowlatency.git when you get a chance, there are some packaging changes in there that will be going into the upload to precise, and your tree is still the given tree in the Vcs-Git field. | 20:33 |
| TheMuso | abogani: Tim basically redid your tree, removed the quilt patch and made it a git commit. I also removed the symbolic links, as they prevented the package from being built with the upstream kernel.org tarball. | 20:34 |
| TheMuso | scott-work_: Longer term, I think we need to move the tree to somewhere where all three of us can colaborate on it. | 20:35 |
| TheMuso | scott-work_: I'm happy to do the packaging legwork if you guys maintain it. | 20:35 |
| scott-work_ | TheMuso: do you mean in bzr or in a git repository? in the blueprint there was discussion about using git so we can easily rebase on kernel changes i believe | 20:37 |
| TheMuso | scott-work_: Yes git. You don't want to use bzr, and git means that you get all the commit history from the kernel team, and the upstrea kernel. | 20:39 |
| TheMuso | scott-work_: I was thinking we set up a team on gitorious or some such. | 20:39 |
| TheMuso | And, the kernel goes up with 20 minutes to spare. :p | 20:40 |
| scott-work_ | lol | 20:55 |
| TheMuso | And the kernel is uploaded. | 20:58 |
| scott-work_ | YAY! | 21:07 |
| scott-work_ | thank you very much TheMuso and abogani for your work on this, it certainly would not have been possible without you! :-D | 21:07 |
| scott-work_ | i need to update the blueprint as well :) | 21:07 |
| TheMuso | Cool. | 21:08 |
| TheMuso | That reminds me... | 21:08 |
| len | SO I take it the new kernel will show in tomorrows ISO? | 21:09 |
| scott-work_ | len: not until we update the seeds and then update the metas | 21:11 |
| scott-work_ | so this might be a week or so | 21:11 |
| scott-work_ | BUT i can update the seeds for audacity and mudita during the same time | 21:11 |
| TheMuso | Not even then. It has to be approved in the new queue. | 21:11 |
| scott-work_ | len: and thank you for your email for the lightdm stuff, i'm going to respond with details and i'm making the changes | 21:11 |
| TheMuso | We also need to upload the linux-lowlatency-meta package which abogani has in git, but that shouldn't be a problem getting in. | 21:11 |
| len | I am also looking at the jackd package. I am thinking we should be able to put a config file in the settings package that sets real time for jackd. | 21:13 |
| len | Actually it would tell the jack package we answered yes. | 21:13 |
| len | scott-work: I will email what I think would work. | 21:15 |
| len | The other area that needs looking at theme wise is the second panel. | 21:16 |
| len | It has a number of selections for programs that we don't ship. I can edit that file too to at least remove the stuff we don't have. | 21:17 |
| len | Personally, I would remove the second panel, but then I have a small screen. | 21:17 |
| len | scott-work_ ^^ | 21:29 |
| scott-work_ | len: aye, as you noted previously, there are menu items that don't work as well (as with the panel) | 22:16 |
| scott-work_ | i was choosing not to address this quite yet until we get a working live-dvd, ubiquity working, yadda, yadda | 22:16 |
| scott-work_ | but also because i wanted to address the menu structure at the same time as these items, even though we will be touching the default-settings package again | 22:17 |
| holstein | wow!... thanks *so* much ScottL & TheMuso & micahg ...we have a kernel for RT! | 23:15 |
| TheMuso | Low latency anyway. | 23:42 |
| holstein | yup... it should work | 23:44 |
| holstein | our crack testing team indicates :) | 23:44 |
| ailo | It works with flying colors! | 23:44 |
| ailo | Every distro should have one! | 23:45 |
| ailo | Even better would be if the generic kernel was scalable somehow that you didn't need -lowlatency | 23:46 |
| holstein | i think we are close | 23:46 |
| holstein | i bet 14.04 doent need it | 23:47 |
| ailo | holstein: Don't bet on it | 23:47 |
| ailo | I mean, the code is already there | 23:47 |
| ailo | I don't know who controls whether a vanilla linux would be better or worse for realtime | 23:48 |
| ailo | But, as long as there is no interest for that to happen, it might only happen by chance | 23:48 |
| ailo | And in that case, it might work well for one linux version for example, but the next one not | 23:48 |
| holstein | we'll see | 23:49 |
| holstein | as long as we have our lowlatency one :) | 23:49 |
| ailo | It's not in anyway a natural direction for kernel development AFAIK | 23:50 |
| ailo | It might be. I'm just guessing | 23:50 |
| ailo | -lowlatency is pure gold | 23:51 |
