05:35 < ethyr2000> hello all
05:35 < ethyr2000> anyone awake?
05:36 < ethyr2000> I was reading about t2 and was trying to figure out if it is the right solution for what I'm trying to do
05:37 < ethyr2000> I want to build linux so it's a cross between a live cd and hd install
05:38 < ethyr2000> basically it's a hd install... except it would use unionfs and udev just like a live cd.
05:38 < ethyr2000> I wouldn't use squashfs like the livecd
05:39 < ethyr2000> is t2 the right kind of environment for this .. or is this beyond the design of t2?
05:39 < morfoh> ethyr2000: T2 is a System Development Environment (SDE) which means you can build nearly any system you want ... ranging from a livecd, special server, embedded system ...
05:40 < morfoh> it's _no_ distro ... it lets you build your own
05:40 < morfoh> but we've prepared so called targets (distros) like the livecd or desktop, and some more
05:40 < ethyr2000> I noticed the live cd was in the unstable branch according to the website .. is it stable yet.. or still in unstable?
05:41 < morfoh> ethyr2000: I can't say much about the status of the livecd ... perhaps you write a mail to the mailing list
05:41 < ethyr2000> sounds like it might be j7
05:42 < ethyr2000> sorry about that..
05:42 < ethyr2000> sounds like it may be just what I need
05:42 < ethyr2000> there isn't a distro out that does what I need
05:43 < ethyr2000> so this may do the trick
05:43 < ethyr2000> how diffic
05:43 < ethyr2000> difficult is it to roll a distro using t2?
05:45 < ethyr2000> morfoh: thanks for the info
05:45 < morfoh> np :)
05:46 < morfoh> ethyr2000: it's not difficult but you have to start :)
05:46 < ethyr2000> ttfn
05:46 < morfoh> and you can allways ask here and on the ML
05:47 < morfoh> unf. the handbook is a bit outdated ... but the first part gives you some impression about T2 I guess

08:07 < Baldzius> hi rxr
08:23 < rxr> I think we rename the version to 6.0 now, right ?
08:37 < shevegen> will that include a new release? :)
08:38 < rxr> shevegen: 2.2 is renamed 6.0
08:38 < morfoh> rxr: why this huge jump ?
08:38 < rxr> and yes the stable series will see the final release the next days
08:39 < rxr> morfoh: as discussed on IRC and RFCed on the list due rock linux claiming v3.0
08:39 < rxr> it would be unwise if we release a technical superior product with 2.2
08:39 < rxr> also we have nearly all from their 4.0 TODO, thus a v > 4.0 makes sense
08:40 < rxr> using the release year - 2000 as Ubuntu does brings us to 6.0 which indicates t2 progress since rock fork quite good
08:42 < rxr> btw. last night you wrote the handbook would be a bit outdated, maybe you have missed the list mail that we updated the book just some days ago ,-)
08:43 < morfoh> rxr: no doubt that there is a huge progress in t2 compared to rock ... but rock is rock ...
08:43 * rxr off getting milk for coffee ,-)
08:43 < rxr> morfoh: yes, but we should do our best to promote T2 to people that do not know rock vs. t2 history
08:43 < rxr> when they compare right now it looks like rock is newer
08:44 < rxr> where infact it has 1000 packages less, nearly each package is (often majorly) outdated and they use gcc 4.0, glibc 2.3, X11R6 and what not
08:44 < rxr> and some old gnome like 2.8 or so ...
08:45 < rxr> thus we should not make ourself look older than we are beeing so shiny with the version number we stick on it
08:45 * rxr relly of for milk now ,-)
08:45 < shevegen> well it would be nice if there would be a brief history on the website, when i saw T2 on distrowatch month ago i didnt even know rocklinux
08:45 < shevegen> *months
08:48 < morfoh> rxr: btw, I noticed a change of the handbook, but just due to broken mail links within the document
08:49 < morfoh> I found them yesterday evening or so ...
08:50 < morfoh> but I'm still not fuly convinced of that huge version jump ... and afaik rock will just increase major versions now to indicate non-compatibility
08:55 < morfoh> but besides that ... I have to admit that a connection with the year has sth. nice ... but I'd like to avoid the comparison with rock ... as you said, there are a lot of things in pro of T2 compared to rock and I think it's more a matter to show it clearly
08:56 < morfoh> ok ... folks. I've to go now ... cu later ;)
09:04 < rxr> re
09:04 < rxr> cu morfoh
09:04 < rxr> shevegen: there is history info on the t2 page
09:05 < rxr> shevegen: but you are free to submit more/better text
09:05 < rxr> morfoh: what mail links are broken in the book?
09:05 < rxr> I would like to fix them ,-)
09:08 < CIA-7> rene * r18799 /trunk/package/base/linux26/sparc64-fp-emu.patch:
09:08 < CIA-7> * imported sparc64 64bit multiplication FP emulation patch that just
09:08 < CIA-7> dropped in my inbox. This fixes dietlibc lua on sparc64 since
09:08 < CIA-7> in absense of FP emulation dietlibc libm relies on kernel trap
09:08 < CIA-7> emulation of certain intructions sadly not implemented in sparc64
09:08 < CIA-7> silicon.
09:08 < rxr> Baldzius: -^ 6.0 candidate
09:09 < rxr> shevegen: http://www.t2-project.org/about.html
09:18 < rxr> gsmp.tfh-berlin.de now has a cooler name: osiris.tfh-berlin.de
09:18 < rxr> I already changed it in the T2 mirror multiplexer
10:13 < shevegen> well the only info i seem to be able to extract from there is that it was a fork from rock :)
10:13 < shevegen> its a little bit difficult to gauge the differences between the two from the info on the page ;)
10:16 < rxr> http://www.t2-project.org/releases/2.1.html
10:16 < rxr> http://www.t2-project.org/releases/2.2.html
10:40 < rxr> but we could create a dedicated t2 ahead of rock page if that would help ,-)
10:45 < shevegen> hehe yeah
10:45 < shevegen> dump the IRC stuff you wrote in it :P will be fastest page ever created

16:08 < LMJ> ok, thanks
16:08 < LMJ> damned, they are off :-/
16:08 < LMJ> so, you switched to version 6
16:09 < rxr> yep, that version number rocks ,-)
16:10 < LMJ> I don't really understand why this choice, since t2 make 2 released 2.1(.xxx) & and soon 2.2
16:10 < shevegen> new logo too? or will the T2 image remain
16:12 < LMJ> IMHO, if i had to switch version, i will downgraded to "version 0.2.1" or "version 0.2.2" or better make like Ubuntu, talk more about Name then Version (Dapper Drake for 6.06) and so on
16:12 < rxr> http://www.t2-project.org/t2-logo-medium.png
16:12 < rxr> shevegen: you mean this one? that is new, already.
16:13 < shevegen> well i know that one, i thought its denoting T2-version :)
16:13 < rxr> formerly it was the ugly, greeny: http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=t2
16:13 < shevegen> ah i recall that green one as well
16:13 < shevegen> with the T naming i have to think of the T1000 in terminator 2 ;)
16:18 < rxr> yeah T2 is one ,-))
16:27 < rxr> shevegen: if you come up with a better logo we are of course very happy ,-)
16:32 < shevegen> hehe not sure if "better" is possible for me, cuz my artistic capabilites are very limited (to gimp tutorials :P), but I'll give it a try when its cooler here (some hours), even if only to have you guys laughing at something for today :-)

21:32 < rxr> but that needs some more time
21:32 < rxr> maybe the weekend
21:32 < rxr> but wait a bit with the desktop patch since it is untested in a full build
21:32 < rxr> Baldzius: you do not need to merge the print driver stuff susan packaged
21:33 < rxr> they build but they do not yet really work in t2
21:33 < rxr> she is still debugging this
21:33 < rxr> we have those damn printers in the new office
21:33 < Baldzius> i wasn't going to do that :)

21:33 < rxr> on t2 there is no error but nothing comes out of the printer
