03:40 < madtux> :)
03:40 < morfoh> :)

03:41 < morfoh> perhaps you should hackup a small script generating some static html and publish it with gatling ... :)
03:41 < morfoh> using a simple markup language
03:42 < madtux> morfoh, in fact i feel temptated to create tex files for my "articles" and just generate the html with latex2html
03:42 < morfoh> http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/ <-- perhaps ?
03:43 < madtux> checking it out... if i am not happy with anything in the next hour i think i will just write my own thing
03:45 < madtux> mm.... this asciidoc thingy is kind of what i am looking for..
03:45 < madtux> thanks man :)
03:46 < morfoh> madtux: hehe ... I like it too ;)
03:46 < madtux> i will still write my own thing.. but mean while i will stick to it
03:46 < madtux> do u use it?
03:47 < morfoh> yes ... atm. for internal documentation ... and generating various output formats
03:48 < morfoh> ok ... senores & senoritas ... I think I'll take a short nap ... :)
03:49 < madtux> burn them first

14:22 < CIA-9> aldas * r15300 /trunk/package/scientific/graphviz/graphviz.desc: * updated graphviz (2.6 -> 2.8)
14:22 < Baldzius> moin mnemoc
14:23 < mnemoc> moin Baldzius
14:23 < rxr> mnemoc: nope - no /dev/cdrom
14:23 < rxr> mnemoc: did you have a /dev/cdrom ?
14:23 < rxr> it must be a problem with the recent udev ...
14:24 < rxr> mnemoc: what was your stage2 problem ?
14:24 < mnemoc> morfoh is out :)
14:24 < mnemoc> i didn't have /dev/tty either
14:25 < rxr> let me restart qemu
14:27 < rxr> hm - dev/tty is here in qemu
14:27 < mnemoc> kiss screamed about that here
14:27 < rxr> hm
14:28 < rxr> at what point_
14:28 < rxr> ?
14:28 < rxr> just 6: debug kiss shell ?
14:28 < mnemoc> yes
14:28 < mnemoc> it greet me with that scream :)
14:29 < rxr> just on debug shell? or already earlier ?
14:30 < mnemoc> just on debug shell
14:30 < rxr> ah there
14:30 < rxr> yes, that is harmless
14:30 < mnemoc> earlier i get an 'automatic' [0] with no device found; no device detected
14:30 < mnemoc> and manual [0] gives the same
14:31 < rxr> mnemoc: yes, no cdrom links aroun
14:31 < rxr> d
14:31 < rxr> due udev whatever
14:31 < rxr> ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom
14:31 < rxr> cures it for a test
14:32 * mnemoc miss devfs :(
14:32 < rxr> mnemoc: before other people bumped udev versions claimed to be tested udev worked for me ..
14:32 < rxr> mnemoc: with a devfs kernel you could also miss nodes or get strange ones but then you had to start debugging in the kernel
14:32 < rxr> in fact I have two mainboards where devfs causes very strage ide nodes ...
14:33 < mnemoc> :)
14:33 < rxr> like skipping host1 resulting in host0 host2 and the other one was even strange random swappong of primary vs. secondary or so ...
14:33 < rxr> notheless - I'll take a look what is up with that udev
14:34 < mnemoc> thanks
14:34 < rxr> any other problem when you symlink and thus get into the shell after stage2 loading ?
14:36 < mnemoc> let me test
14:38 < mnemoc> can udev make less overpopulated /dev-s ?
14:40 < rxr> sure
14:40 < rxr> just supply the rules for it
14:40 < rxr> I'm also happy to change the default rules to be less populated by default
14:40 < rxr> e.g. more devfs
14:41 < rxr> what udev did you exactly built into the iso ?=
14:41 < mnemoc> 083
14:44 < mnemoc> "unable to load NLS charset iso8859-1" <--- before loading 2nd_stage
14:44 < mnemoc> and during
14:45 < rxr> hm
14:46 < mnemoc> .oO( from mount -t $joliet? )o

14:48 < rxr> what?
14:49 < rxr> on ppc64 this udev builds and on x86-64 not?
14:52 < CIA-9> sebastian * r15302 /trunk/package/x11/linuxwacom/ (linuxwacom.conf linuxwacom.desc xorg-7.patch):
14:52 < CIA-9> * updated linuxwacom (0.7.0 -> 0.7.2)

14:55 < rxr> please do your heart a favour and stay away from udev hackery ...
14:56 < Baldzius> :)
14:57 < mnemoc> :)
14:57 < mnemoc> i'll follow your advice
14:58 * sepp repaired damn power supply with a hammer :)

15:16 < rxr> mnemoc: I can reproduce missing /dev/cdrom on my laptop
15:16 < rxr> we should start creating really sane rules and setup a regression testsuite for udev on the way

18:46 < rxr> http://www.reeltoreel.de/worldwide/B77.htm
18:46 < rxr> ^- something like that
19:09 < rxr> jsaw: are you around for some udev discussion
19:09 < rxr> jsaw: I find the disks by id and path and so on extremely annoying
19:09 < rxr> /dev/'disk/by-id/ata-HL-DT-ST_DVD-RW_GCA-4080N_K5B0BD14735
19:09 < rxr> /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:14.1-ide-1:0
19:09 < rxr> pure crap
19:09 < rxr> jsaw: I would remove those
19:10 < rxr> as I woudl the various cdrw recorder whatsoever duplicants
19:10 < rxr> this udev noisy is barely useful ...
19:10 * rxr back to dinner
19:10 < rxr> would be nice if you could drop a note about those ...

19:48 < morfoh> does somebody has a msdos boot floppy image ?
19:49 < LMJ> morfoh : google for it
19:49 < LMJ> you will find some
19:50 < morfoh> LMJ: thanks ... but I found one already ;)

20:53 < jsaw> rxr: we have to do a lot to clean up udev rules (by path-id etc included). I think the first step should be to tear it into pieces.
20:53 < jsaw> rxr: there are way too many (and on our system unneeded) backwards compat stuff in the readhat rules
20:54 < jsaw> hehe
20:54 < jsaw> redhat*
20:56 < rxr> re
20:58 < jsaw> rxr: is it correct that the boot image does not have grep?
20:58 < rxr> hm
20:59 < jsaw> rxr: (there's a grep for http/ftp installation
20:59 < jsaw> only
20:59 < rxr> yes
20:59 < rxr> hm
20:59 < rxr> then I forgot to add it
20:59 < jsaw> o.O
20:59 < jsaw> ah, ok
20:59 < rxr> but the grep could be replaced with sed anyway
20:59 < rxr> sed -n //p ...
21:00 < jsaw> I wanted to use it for "grep /sys/*/*/removable
21:00 < jsaw> "
21:00 < jsaw> grep 1 *
21:00 < rxr> I used a bash loop in the new archivista code
21:00 < rxr> + for x in /sys/block/*/removable ; do
21:00 < rxr> + [ `cat $x` = 1 ] || continue
21:01 < jsaw> rxr: could you please check some bootdisk and verify if you have /dev/{cdrom,floppy} links?
21:01 < jsaw> ah, ok
21:01 < jsaw> nice
21:01 < rxr> jsaw: last week I had
21:01 < rxr> with mnemoc I do not have
21:01 < rxr> because of latest udev buggyness
21:01 < jsaw> actually I thought, there
21:01 < rxr> udevtest for /block/hdc tells me it would create the symlink
21:01 < rxr> but neither udevstart nor udevd does create it ...
21:01 < jsaw> yes
21:01 < jsaw> right
21:02 < jsaw> that's what I observed but was not sure
21:02 < rxr> udevtest /block/hdc
21:02 < rxr> create_node: creating symlink '/dev/cdrom' to 'hdc'
21:02 < rxr> create_node: creating symlink '/dev/dvd' to 'hdc'
21:02 < jsaw> but that needs the rules
21:02 < jsaw> we don't have 'em on install disk, or?
21:02 < rxr> # rm -rd /dev/cd*
21:03 < rxr> # udevstart
21:03 < rxr> # l /dev/cd*
21:03 < rxr> ls: /dev/cd*: No such file or directory
21:03 < rxr> # echo 1 > /sys/block/hdc/uevent
21:03 < rxr> # l /dev/cd*
21:03 < rxr> ls: /dev/cd*: No such file or directory
21:03 < rxr> how broken is that
21:03 < rxr> crap ever changing C code ...
21:03 < jsaw> do you have my new rules???
21:04 < jsaw> rxr: it's mostly redhat rules brokenness
21:04 < rxr> I reemerged today for testing
21:04 < jsaw> and cdrom_id ?
21:04 < rxr> hm ?
21:04 < jsaw> what does /sbin/cdrom_id /dev/hdc tell you?
21:04 < rxr> # /sbin/cdrom_id /dev/hdc
21:04 < rxr> ID_CDROM=1
21:04 < rxr> ID_CDROM_CD_R=1
21:04 < rxr> ID_CDROM_CD_RW=1
21:04 < rxr> ID_CDROM_DVD=1
21:04 < rxr> ID_CDROM_DVD_R=1
21:04 < rxr> ID_CDROM_MRW=1
21:04 < rxr> ID_CDROM_MRW_W=1
21:04 < rxr> ID_CDROM_RAM=1
21:05 < rxr> btw. I find this extremely awkward
21:05 < jsaw> hmmm.
21:05 < rxr> I neither want this complexity and I rather doubt it is of any use
21:05 < jsaw> ?
21:05 < rxr> I want a u/dev(++) create plain normal nodes not do articifican inteligence crap
21:05 < jsaw> with this, the rules are four line
21:05 < rxr> hal can give /media/ mountpoints meaningful names
21:06 < jsaw> ???
21:06 < rxr> but totally messed up /dev if of no use for anyone
21:06 < jsaw> only dvd,cdrom link should be created
21:06 < rxr> jsaw: four line?
21:06 < jsaw> I commented cdrw etc out
21:06 < rxr> all nodes get kernel names and cdroms enumerated to /dev/cdrom%e
21:06 < rxr> thats all
21:06 < jsaw> KERNEL=="hd[a-z]", BUS=="ide", IMPORT{program}="/sbin/cdrom_id --export $tempnode"
21:06 < jsaw> KERNEL=="sr[0-9]", BUS=="scsi", IMPORT{program}="/sbin/cdrom_id --export $tempnode"
21:06 < jsaw> ENV{ID_CDROM}=="1", SYMLINK+="cdrom%e"
21:06 < jsaw> ENV{ID_CDROM_DVD}=="1", SYMLINK+="dvd%e"
21:06 < rxr> I know
21:06 < rxr> this sucks
21:07 < rxr> majorly
21:07 < jsaw> why?
21:07 < rxr> who need such names? and what for?
21:07 < jsaw> oh, you mean, you don't want the cdrom,dvd links at all?
21:07 < rxr> it just results in everyone hunting their devices nodes
21:07 < rxr> cdrom and dvd - but not the reminder
21:07 < jsaw> what reminder?
21:08 < rxr> cdrw cdrecorder dvdrw whatsoever ...
21:08 < jsaw> isn't done... o.O
21:08 < jsaw> we don't have them... O.O ????
21:08 < rxr> O.O ?
21:08 < jsaw> I don't understand the point...
21:09 < jsaw> we only cread cdrom and dvd links with the 4 lines above
21:09 < jsaw> create*
21:09 < rxr> the point is all the floating udev rules in the internet suck - because they create a overly shuffled and messed up /dev
21:09 < jsaw> oh, that you mean
21:09 < rxr> and the recent by id stuff ..
21:09 < jsaw> yep, that's why I say we should split the rules...
21:09 < jsaw> then we can more easily find (simpler) solutions
21:09 < rxr> in disk I have a whole mess
21:10 < rxr> and I'm also unsure if /lib/udev is nice
21:10 < rxr> just annoying complexity to carry to initrds and such
21:10 < jsaw> actually we do not need /lib/udev
21:10 < rxr> or sbin
21:10 < rxr> sbin/cdrom_id
21:11 < jsaw> then tell me how you want to create a _simple_ rule, that also does the dvd link
21:11 < rxr> in fact I do not care a bit over the dvd link
21:12 < jsaw> don't get me wrong, cdrom_id can be done in a few lines of shell code! So we will definitely replace it!
21:12 < jsaw> rxr: I do
21:12 < rxr> maybe just use the helper for the dvd link - but create the cdrom with classic ways not requiring an external too
21:12 < rxr> l
21:12 < jsaw> I don't want to modify the configs of some applications on every installation
21:12 < rxr> jsaw: well, ok the dvd with external tool is ok - it is not needed for booting
21:13 < rxr> l /dev/
21:13 < rxr> Display all 601 possibilities? (y or n)
21:13 < jsaw> l /dev |grep -v tty | grep -v pty|wc -l
21:13 < jsaw> 78
21:15 < rxr> hm - damn
21:15 < rxr> I wanted to paste a devfs comparision
21:15 < rxr> but gsmp has compat enabled for all
21:15 < rxr> l /dev/
21:15 < rxr> Display all 1190 possibilities? (y or n)
21:15 < rxr> ah here we go:
21:16 < rxr> too few, bash completion displays them all:
21:16 < rxr> # l /dev/ | wc -l
21:16 < rxr> 57
21:16 < rxr> ^- _that was neat_ ,-)!
21:16 < jsaw> yeah
21:17 < jsaw> why don't we go with debians devfs naming rules?
21:17 < rxr> they use external tools?
21:17 < jsaw> lemma check
21:17 < rxr> well, let's not try to mimic devfs totally
21:17 < rxr> e.g. the /dev/sd /dev/hd and so on a too much linux standard
21:17 < rxr> they should be there
21:17 < rxr> but the rest most probably not
21:18 < jsaw> yes, they use external tools
21:18 < rxr> yes, disqualified
21:18 < rxr> but we do not need external tools
21:19 < rxr> e.g. I do not want /dev/ide and /dev/scsi back
21:19 < rxr> they are too non-standard
21:19 < rxr> just not the terminals and other insane stuff out of the root should be fine
21:19 < rxr> and less external tools as possible
21:19 < rxr> so far I see the need for the /dev/dvd tool and my dvb remaning script
21:20 < rxr> jsaw: I can safely remove the persistent by-name fluff from the buttom of our config ?
21:20 < jsaw> (not mine, redhat)
21:20 < jsaw> yes
21:20 < jsaw> even by-*
21:21 < rxr> jsaw: do you have a locally modified config ?
21:21 < jsaw> yep
21:22 < jsaw> but only slightly different from t2's
21:22 < rxr> hm
21:22 < rxr> do we need this modprobe $modalias ?
21:23 < jsaw> not sure
21:23 < jsaw> actually I think hotplug should handle it
21:23 < rxr> ..oO
21:23 < rxr> we have two hotplug++ rules
21:23 < jsaw> yep
21:24 < CIA-9> rene * r15307 /trunk/package/filesystem/udev/50-udev.rules:
21:24 < CIA-9> * removed persistent naming junk from the redhat based udev rules we use
21:24 < CIA-9> and a second hotplug++ rule
21:28 < jsaw> the "sr[0-9]" to "scd[0-9]" naming convention is also a bit strange
21:28 < rxr> ack
21:28 < rxr> it is redhat compat junk
21:28 < rxr> let me tweak it
21:28 < jsaw> :)
21:29 < rxr> huh!
21:29 < rxr> there is KERNEL=
21:29 < jsaw> ?
21:29 < rxr> that will not work with latest udev, will it ?
21:29 < jsaw> line?
21:29 < rxr> dr
21:29 < rxr> err
21:29 < rxr> sr
21:29 < rxr> scd
21:29 < rxr> sg
21:30 < jsaw> ohoh
21:30 < jsaw> see also first line!
21:30 < jsaw> msr
21:30 < jsaw> cpu
21:31 < jsaw> I don't have these lines anymore locally, but those I stated -^
21:31 < jsaw> only those*
21:31 < rxr> # rename sr* to scd*
21:31 < rxr> my oh my ...
21:33 < CIA-9> rene * r15308 /trunk/package/filesystem/udev/50-udev.rules:
21:33 < CIA-9> * fixed some = vs == in the udev rules, removed some legacy redhat
21:33 < CIA-9> junk on the way
21:34 < rxr> jsaw: we could patch at least our kernel to export the cdrom media types to sysfs
21:34 < rxr> thus we would not need external tools at all
21:34 < CIA-9> jsaw * r15309 /trunk/package/develop/librep/ (4 files):
21:34 < CIA-9> * fix building of librep (64-bit)
21:34 < CIA-9> * copyright updates
21:36 < jsaw> rxr: isn't it contained in /proc/ide/hdc/identify ?
21:37 < rxr> no idea
21:37 < rxr> but proc is not sysfs anyway
21:39 < jsaw> I prefer this small helper tool...
21:39 < jsaw> over patching the kernel
21:43 < rxr> why do we have /dev/pts*
21:43 < rxr> they should be in /dev/pts ...
21:43 < rxr> pty even
21:48 < rxr> my - the rules are ugly
21:48 * rxr going to bed
21:48 < rxr> mnemoc: your cdrom issue is nto yet solved in hear
21:48 < rxr> head
21:48 < jsaw> rxr: /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info <-- here's the info
21:48 < rxr> n8 all
21:48 < jsaw> gnight rxr
21:48 < rxr> jsaw: oh - what a useless format
21:49 < rxr> should be per device attributed in sysfs ...
21:49 < rxr> n8 anyway
21:49 < rxr> need to get up early
21:49 < rxr> and susan is waiting ..
