mlankhorsthttp://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/mesa-dev/2014-August/066953.html mentions sept 12th16:22
infinityWhy do we have two bots?16:22
mlankhorstno idea..16:22
apwtwo bots of different versions too16:22
infinitymlankhorst: Right, final release in Sept, will we see a 10.3.1 before utopic ships, though?16:24
infinitymlankhorst: xorg, I think I'm fine with, iff you're doing a full transition of drivers/etc and if you've made sure the non-free drivers are up to speed.16:25
mlankhorstyeah16:26
mlankhorstjust fglrx remaining, some free drivers will be dropped due to lack of maintenance, similar to debian16:26
=== kees_ is now known as kees
infinitymlankhorst: Which free drivers?  Anything people might/should care about?16:28
mlankhorstno, old stuff like s316:28
infinitymlankhorst: (Trivial porting that we're being too lazy to fix, or fundamental breakage?)16:28
mlankhorstreally ancient pre-historic stuff16:28
infinitySometimes "unmaintained" just means "it works fine, and just needs minor API porting changes".16:28
infinityI've never sorted out why "unmaintained" is such a dirty word for stable software.16:29
mlankhorstin this case it means 'nobody uses it any more' ;-)16:29
mlankhorstand porting it requires more than a recompile16:29
infinitymlankhorst: Well, nobody uses it in the sense that there's a replacement (kms + modesetting?), or in that you believe no one should own those cards anymore, so screw 'em if they do?16:30
mlankhorstin the sense that 'if debian dropped support for it, why should we keep it?'16:31
mlankhorstwe share the stack with them16:31
mlankhorstand it's very likely those drivers have been broken16:31
mlankhorstI'm not sure anyone tested since xorg 1.13 (which removed XAA, breaking a lot of them)16:31
infinityFair enough.  If Debian gets enough bugs to fix and reintroduce them, are you prepared to follow suit?16:31
mlankhorstsure16:32
mlankhorstI'd just syncpackage from debian then16:32
infinityBut yeah, if they're old enough that it seems unlikely people would pair those cards with the CPUs we support (ie: PAE-only i686 and above), we're probably safer than Debian in this regard.16:32
mlankhorstI've thrown my s3 card out long ago, probably with my cyrix :P16:33
infinityI assume this is just older S3 cards, not whatever silicon VIA is still pumping out from the same IP?16:34
infinityOr whoever owns them now.16:34
infinityOh, they seem to have spun off independently again.16:35
infinityThey just don't seem to want to die.16:35
mlankhorstyeah the really old ones16:36
mlankhorstnewer one has -sis or something16:36
infinitymlankhorst: Alright.  +1 on the xorg thing, then, once the drivers are already and you've tested a fake transition in a PPA.16:37
stgraberI know some servers were still shipping with some of those crazy old chips, though you don't really care about running X on those anyway ;)16:37
stgraberwe laos had a bunch of older s3 and via on thin clients, but those were VIA CPUs that don't do PAE so they can't boot our current kernel anyway (and are stuck on 12.04)16:37
mlankhorstnot sure why you would run a non-lts kernel on them anyway16:39

infinitymlankhorst: Also, what does "Build fixes to support a gallium megablob" mean for us?16:59
infinitymlankhorst: Was that something we were hackishly doing as a shared library before, and has that now become easier or harder?17:00
mlankhorstinfinity: we use upstream's attempt19:22
mlankhorstthey have their own megablob now for gallium19:22
mlankhorstwhich is smaller than mine19:23
=== Guest91506 is now known as NCommander
=== NCommander is now known as Guest86602
infinitymlankhorst: Alright, that sounds reasonable then.19:37
infinitymlankhorst: So, really, just give me a non-fabricated assurance that 10.3.1 is happening before utopic release, cause I don't trust mesa .0 releases (this may change, but not this week...) and you've got your FFe.19:38
infinitymlankhorst: Or a commitment to watch commits and backport .1-targetted patches to .0 with some fervor.  Obviously better if the work load isn't entirely on you, though.19:39
mlankhorstok20:00
mlankhorstyeah I had a small build regression with -rc2, but it was easy to find and revert :-)20:01
mlankhorstfailed on parallel -j8 build/install20:02
mlankhorstinfinity: if .0 is broken I'll make sure it gets fixed before final release, but I think we should get it sooner rather than later this cycle.20:26
mlankhorstsince I was asked to refresh to mir too, and flip to llvm 3.5 which broke on 10.2 before (although that release doesn't officially support 3.5)20:27
infinitymlankhorst: Oh, I don't disagree that you should upload ASAP if we plan to use 10.3, my point is that I want to know we won't be shipping 10.3.0 in the final release.20:28
infinitymlankhorst: Unless this is the first mesa release in history that isn't fundamentally broken on some subset of machines, which I frankly don't believe will be true without widespread testing, which I doubt upstream has ever done, hence the situation. :P20:29
infinitymlankhorst: So, I'm fine us being guinea pigs, IF 10.3.1 will be out by release, or you backport like a madman from the will-become-10.3.1 branch.20:29
mlankhorstyeah20:30
mlankhorstI'll poke the release manager20:30
* ScottK predicts we break kwin again too, since the main upstream developer doesn't test against pre-releases.20:30
mlankhorstI should really upgrade to trusty sometime soon. :P20:30
infinityScottK: Was that a casual FFe veto in passing, or just a note of something we'll need to watch for and potentially fix?20:31
ScottKIt's not a veto.20:32
ScottKIt's a "we should test this before we jump in"20:32
infinityKay.  I think the one big argument (ditching llvm 3.4) and medium-sized argument (probably better new hardware support) likely trumps anything else.20:32
infinityBut all for testing. :P20:33
infinitymlankhorst: Do you have a PPA with 10.3-pre packages that one could, say, build and run KDE against?20:33
ScottKSocially, it's much better for us to go to kwin upstream and give test results/report bugs before we jump and ask for feedback rather than have him find out with the KDE bugzilla exploads.20:34
infinityScottK: Indeed.  Though, I'd also argue it's better for upstreams who rely heavily on other projects to test against their trunks instead of panicking on release day too. ;)20:34
ScottKWell sure, but the version of KDE we're releasing with is already post-release, so it's a bit late for that.20:35
infinityFair point.20:35
ScottKIf we updated mesa in process, rather than late, via FFe, we'd be fine.20:36
mlankhorstinfinity: not sure if I have one right now, building is general fine though20:37
mlankhorstlets see if I uploaded it to x-staging yet20:37
mlankhorstNope, forgot to push the git trees. I'll upload it to x-staging tomorrow.20:39
