slangasek | bkerensa: where's the beer | 05:50 |
---|---|---|
bkerensa | slangasek: in the stomach | 05:50 |
slangasek | bkerensa: I mean tomorrow's Debian beering :) | 05:50 |
bkerensa | oh | 05:51 |
slangasek | Lucky Lab? Or somewhere closer to OSCON? | 05:51 |
slangasek | I suppose Lucky Lab isn't too bad; .5h walk, or <10min bus | 05:51 |
bkerensa | slangasek: so ideally we could meetup at one of the oscon parties? | 05:52 |
bkerensa | :) | 05:52 |
bkerensa | http://www.oscon.com/oscon2013/public/schedule/detail/31419 | 05:52 |
slangasek | if that's what folks prefer | 05:52 |
slangasek | I have no preference, I just want to make sure the locals know where to meet up :) | 05:53 |
bkerensa | slangasek: so pleia2 is leaving early tomorrow but there are still a lot of Canoni folks in town | 05:53 |
slangasek | Canonical Debian folks? I thought this was supposed to be a Debian meet-up :) | 05:53 |
bkerensa | slangasek: yeah so pleia2 would be the only debian person in town and she has to fly out early | 05:54 |
bkerensa | :( | 05:54 |
slangasek | pff | 05:54 |
slangasek | ok, well, feel free to call the beering wherever you'd like then :) | 05:54 |
bkerensa | slangasek: unless you consider shuttleworth a debian folk | 05:54 |
bkerensa | ;p | 05:54 |
bkerensa | I asked him about Honey Bee Colony Collapse | 05:55 |
bkerensa | and he said he bees are not suffering | 05:55 |
slangasek | I will sidestep that question by pointing out we're unlikely to get him to come to a beering tomorrow on such short notice | 05:55 |
bkerensa | he thinks our use of pesticides is the cause | 05:55 |
bkerensa | :) | 05:55 |
bkerensa | oh | 05:55 |
bkerensa | he was at all the parties this week | 05:55 |
bkerensa | :) | 05:55 |
slangasek | it's probably a factor; colony collapse seems to be a primarily US phenomenon. :P | 05:55 |
slangasek | but that doesn't rule out it being a natural disease that's geographically limited | 05:56 |
slangasek | anyway, if you want Debian folks to come out to OSCON or wherever for beering, please send mail :) | 05:57 |
slangasek | if I don't see mail, I will probably find other ways to occupy my time tomorrow evening | 05:57 |
bkerensa | slangasek: sent | 05:57 |
bkerensa | I am not opposed to Lucky Labs either way and would gladly meet there if oscon party sees opposition | 05:58 |
slangasek | I don't foresee any opposition to OSCON. We already had the regularly scheduled Debian beering this month, so tomorrow is a bonus beering specifically for OSCON | 05:59 |
bkerensa | slangasek: DD's in Town: Thierry Carrez, Gustavo Franco, Frédéric Lepied, Taku Yasui | 06:01 |
slangasek | Thierry's not a DD, though the other three are and apparently some keysigning is warranted :) | 06:03 |
bkerensa | slangasek: have you seen this key signing tool http://www.phildev.net/pius/ | 06:04 |
slangasek | nope. Looks redundant with the signing-party package and the caff tool. | 06:05 |
bkerensa | slangasek: do you have any suggestions for me ever getting this patch landed? http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/255227 | 16:59 |
bkerensa | Its like upstream is ignoring it | 17:00 |
slangasek | bkerensa: no, I'm not a kernel dev and have no insights there | 17:00 |
bkerensa | kees: ^ do you :/ | 17:00 |
bkerensa | the only person I know is maybe kees he sends patches to lkml land | 17:00 |
kees | bkerensa: /me looks | 17:01 |
kees | bkerensa: oh, that was in Jan? | 17:05 |
kees | bkerensa: so, I have a number of suggestions: | 17:05 |
bkerensa | kees: yeah man and I sent once before and then kindly e-mailed the maintained who ripped me a new one about off mailing list mail and such | 17:05 |
bkerensa | :d | 17:05 |
kees | 1) use the "scripts/checkpatch.pl" tool in the kernel to validate the contents of the patch | 17:05 |
bkerensa | ok | 17:05 |
kees | 2) CC lkml and netdev (I use scripts/get_maintainer.pl to get a list of people that might want to be CC) | 17:06 |
kees | from 1, you'll likely have to split that line, since it looks to be >80 char | 17:06 |
kees | 3) read Documentation/SubmittingPatches since it looks like your patch isn't from git, and lacks the right ordering and subjects | 17:07 |
kees | from 3, you'd likely want to use "git log path/to/ping_common.c" to see how other people have done patches, but I bet the subject will look like "[PATCH] ping: remove excessive punctuation in flood warning" | 17:08 |
kees | and then the body would be more descriptive, followed with your Signed-off-by | 17:08 |
kees | "git format-patch" can be used to help with that, too. | 17:08 |
bkerensa | ok | 17:08 |
kees | and, I think I'm out of ideas :) | 17:09 |
kees | but I'd suggest pull a git tree and using it to generate the patches. | 17:09 |
bkerensa | kk | 17:09 |
bkerensa | I will do this tonight | 17:09 |
bkerensa | thx | 17:09 |
kees | e.g.: | 17:09 |
kees | git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git | 17:10 |
kees | vi path/to/ping_common.c | 17:10 |
kees | git commit -aes | 17:10 |
kees | git format-patch HEAD~1 | 17:10 |
kees | ./scripts/checkpatch.pl 0001-ping_remove_excessive...patch | 17:10 |
kees | ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl 0001-....patch | 17:10 |
kees | (oh, you'll need a "cd linux" after that git clone) | 17:11 |
bkerensa | kees: where do you store all this data? :) do you answer questions like this often? | 17:11 |
bkerensa | :) | 17:11 |
kees | bkerensa: heh, nah, this is just off the top of my head. I do it so much. | 17:11 |
kees | only thing I looked up with the full git clone path to linus's tree :) | 17:12 |
bkerensa | kees: you coming to the beering at Jupiter Hotel tonight? | 17:12 |
bkerensa | slangasek: I invited all the DD's and DM's that are in town for OSCON to come | 17:13 |
kees | bkerensa: unclear, I'm still trying to understand the shape of my day today. :) | 17:13 |
kees | bkerensa: when you've got it prepared again, feel free to email it to me first and I can re-check what you've got. | 17:14 |
bkerensa | kees: kk | 17:15 |
