[10:00] <zequence> infinity: apw: Hi. Was wanting to set up the tree for trusty now, and also make it signed.
[10:01] <zequence> The signed part seems trivial, though I'm not sure how that works yet.
[10:02] <zequence> I might need some help on both though.
[10:02] <infinity> zequence: On the kernel side, the signed bits are, indeed, trivial.  Mangling the installer and perhaps grub to cope with "hey, more than one kernel can have a signed bit" might need some looking at.
[10:03] <infinity> zequence: PS: can you smoketest all your SRUs for me, so I'm good to go for releasing in the new year?
[10:03] <infinity> (I know, I know, lead by example, I need to do some testing of the PPC SRUs in the next day or two too)
[10:03] <zequence> infinity: Yep. I did that yesterday. All should be ready now
[10:04] <infinity> zequence: Oh, hah.  Why do I always poke you right after you've done something without looking first?
[10:04] <infinity> I must love looking like an idiot. :)
[10:05] <zequence> heh
[10:20] <zequence> I'm doing this for the first time. Think I need to just copy the debian.lowlatency dir into a new branch inside the trusty tree, and make a couple of changes in the debian dir.
[10:29] <zequence> Ah. right there's a patch too. I should undo that, and make it a config instead. I'll work on it.
[10:30] <infinity> zequence: If you turn the patch into a suitable CONFIG_ twiddle, we might be able to talk the kernel team into pulling lowlatency into master.  AFAIK, that patch is the only reason it's an out-of-tree flavour.
[10:31] <infinity> (Well, and build-time, maintenance commitment, etc, but those ones would be easier to argue without the patch)
[10:31] <zequence> infinity: Cool. That sounds like a good idea to me :)
[10:43] <zequence> I'm actually against adding configs in buildtime that could be added separately. This particular patch enables the use of the rtirq script (which need threadirqs enabled), which is not really needed for low latency. The script attempts to give audio devices higher priority, which might not be what everyone wants, so I'm considering breaking that dependency. 
[10:44] <zequence> Some would like to label -lowlatency -desktop instead
[10:45] <zequence> But, I'm fine with -lowlatency :)
