| infinity | cjwatson: So... This armhf linker mess leaves me with another interesting mess to sort out. | 16:22 |
|---|---|---|
| infinity | cjwatson: In the short term, we technically have two linkers (both symlinks to the same one, but two canonical locations) | 16:22 |
| infinity | cjwatson: mklibs can't handle that situation AT ALL, and I don't want to make it. | 16:22 |
| infinity | cjwatson: So, I'm thinking a bit of hackery in d-i/Makefile around where there's already some fudging of the Hurd linker. | 16:23 |
| infinity | cjwatson: The real kicker is that what gets done by mklibs is non-deterministic (or, rather, hard to guess, because it'll pick the first PI from the first binary that claims to have one) | 16:23 |
| cjwatson | I'm OK with that kind of hackery for now | 16:24 |
| infinity | So, I guess I just test for both, and whichever one exists, link the other two it. Or something. | 16:24 |
| infinity | s/two/to/ | 16:24 |
| infinity | I'll experiment locally once I have glibc built in the archive. | 16:24 |
| infinity | But yeah. Something like that will happen soon. :P | 16:24 |
| infinity | Just a heads-up, if you'd prefer to ignore it and not vomit. | 16:25 |
| cjwatson | mklibs is pretty awful, but nothing else does the job ... | 16:25 |
| cjwatson | happy to ignore it :-) | 16:25 |
| infinity | Teaching mklibs to deal with multiple PIs seems pointless, unless we ever intend to have multi-arch d-i initrds (oh god, say no). | 16:25 |
| infinity | So, yeah, the Makefile hack seems saner anyway. | 16:25 |
| infinity | FSVO "sane". | 16:25 |
| cjwatson | I see no point in multiarch for d-i :-) | 16:26 |
| infinity | Also, if you're in the mood to vomit, check out the last patch on the end of http://lucifer.0c3.net/~adconrad/eglibc.debdiff | 16:26 |
| infinity | This is the madness that distro consensus has driven me to. | 16:26 |
| cjwatson | Ew | 16:27 |
| cjwatson | Wait, aren't those strcmps backwards? | 16:27 |
| cjwatson | Shouldn't it be strcmp() == 0? | 16:27 |
| infinity | Nope. | 16:27 |
| cjwatson | Oh, double negatives | 16:28 |
| infinity | Yeah. | 16:28 |
| infinity | When using strcmp, get into POSIX shell mode. | 16:28 |
| infinity | Confuses me every damned time. | 16:28 |
| infinity | "Wait, this is the one time when C is shell?" | 16:28 |
| cjwatson | No, it's not that that confused me, it's that the entire test is negated | 16:29 |
| cjwatson | (effectively, by way of continue) | 16:29 |
| infinity | Oh, that too, yeah. | 16:29 |
| infinity | It's all confusing. :P | 16:29 |
| infinity | But anything in C returning 0 for "a-ok" just fucks with me. | 16:29 |
| cjwatson | Er. Like every system call? | 16:29 |
| infinity | Yes, anything. :P | 16:30 |
| infinity | I'm easily confused. | 16:30 |
| * cjwatson passes infinity libdbus | 16:30 | |
| * infinity sidesteps. | 16:31 | |
| * cjwatson considers fixing usb-creator for syslinux-legacy to get it off ev's plate, since I don't see a branch for it | 16:33 | |
| cjwatson | need to move some code around a bit, though | 16:34 |
| infinity | Say, you speak fluent dpkg, right? | 16:38 |
| infinity | How many beers would it take to convince you to waste a half hour fixing http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=588077 for me? ;) | 16:38 |
| ubot2 | Debian bug 588077 in dpkg "/usr/bin/dpkg-divert: --add --rename should not rename a file currently owned by --package" [Important,Open] | 16:38 |
| cjwatson | Er. Need to be critical-path on slightly fewer things before promising anything. | 16:42 |
| infinity | Sounds familiar. | 16:43 |
| cjwatson | Probably not horribly painful though. | 16:43 |
| infinity | It even has a patch! | 16:43 |
| infinity | ... if only it wasn't in Perl, and dpkg-divert is now in C. | 16:43 |
| infinity | *cough* | 16:43 |
| cjwatson | And dpkg-divert has a test suite now, which should help. | 16:44 |
| cjwatson | Ask me after our rls-p-tracking >=High queue's at zero, and you can pay me a beer at UDS. | 16:44 |
| cjwatson | (Which I'm hoping will be no later than Tuesday) | 16:44 |
| cjwatson | ev: considering http://paste.ubuntu.com/931825/ - still need to test, but comments welcome, including "hands off, I'm working on it already" | 23:16 |
| cjwatson | ev: (I'm off tomorrow) | 23:16 |
