10:15 < michael-i> FINALLY have all of the svn checkouts from analog devices finished. It literally took from 13:30 yesterday until 06:00 this morning.
10:16 < rxr> I can give you a VM on our 8-core ... appears to be faster here
10:19 < michael-i> Now that it's finished, I don't have to worry about it for awhile. I will take you up on that offer if I ever need to incremental svn tests!
10:23 < michael-i> Should I upload my modified blackfin architecture directory and the new source bz2s to a server? If you could sync a tree locally with them too then I might have another set of eyes as I work through this update.
10:26 < rxr> just the architecture dir would be fine for me
10:26 < rxr> the last blackfin checkouts where about 30m for me
10:26 < rxr> also a got chance to re-test my local speed :-)

10:35 < michael-i> A funny thing with those download speeds: the console reports downloading 200+MB but the resulting archive is only 20+MB. Is bz2 that amazing?!
10:37 < rxr> maybe the initial download includes .svn files - thus about 100% duplication
10:37 < rxr> though we wanted to change svn co to svn export for the downloads
10:37 < rxr> I do not remeber right now if we changed it alread
10:37 < rxr> y
10:37 < rxr> hm - trunk:HEAD has svn export
10:37 < michael-i> it is using export
10:37 < michael-i> that was my first patch for t2 ;)
10:37 < rxr> well - maybe bz2 is that good
10:38 < rxr> it's mostly text -- I think bzip2 has approx 10x compression for ASCII text
10:38 < rxr> michael-i: maybe updated linux-header improved the uclibc error
10:40 < michael-i> I was wondering if there should be a different linux-header definition for bfin? I don't know enough about how "flexible" they can be between platforms
10:40 < rxr> they differ a lot between platforms
10:41 < rxr> all the arch and asm files are unique per architecture
10:41 < rxr> well- mostly unique that is .-)
10:42 < michael-i> I wondered about that...but there isn't a linux-header definition specific for blackfin?

11:29 < michael-i> ...started the updated linux26-bfin download
11:31 < rxr> the header comes from the linux-header package
11:31 < rxr> it's intentionally a seperate, not as often updated package
11:31 < michael-i> i know but was wondering if I could extract a new, blackfin specific linux-header package from the sources
11:32 < michael-i> or is that asking for a nightmare
11:32 < rxr> I noticed earlier due major changes you need to update linux26 for the new blackfin toolchain probably anyway
11:33 < michael-i> ~2000 revisions....yeah, probably
11:34 < rxr> well - in a better world not really
11:34 < rxr> but I noticed they introduced some incompatiblity in the compiler
11:35 < rxr> which kernel do you use, now ?
11:35 < michael-i> analog devices seems to have their own "development practices" with 10,000 different releases of the same toolchain and magically none of them are labelled stable
11:36 < michael-i> we use one that is provided by the test board company...they've also needed to patch from multiple trees to get it running and support all of the on-board devices
11:37 < rxr> yeah - you get an impression while I did not yet committed any update since the last known good state, hm ?
11:37 < michael-i> the more i looked at things, the more i completely understand :)
11:38 < michael-i> but to move it up into 2009 is going to add a ton of chip support
11:46 < michael-i> could I maybe borrow your bandwidth to update this? 1.6MB after 15 minutes
11:47 < rxr> well - for just one file vm setup is a little waste
11:47 < rxr> maybe post the patch and I put the tarball into my httpd's people's dir
11:48 < michael-i> I didn't expect a VM, just a ./scripts/Download ;) it's on its way
11:51 < rxr> maybe just post the svn diff of architecture/blackfin/package/linux26 here
11:52 < michael-i> http://pastebin.ca/1366089
11:57 < rxr> ok - running
12:07 < rxr> 181M downloaded from archive so far ...
12:08 < michael-i> everything else here is fast...just checking out from them is somehow a problem
12:08 < rxr> still running :-)(
12:08 < michael-i> mensa time.... bbl
12:15 < rxr> 303M downloaded from archive (download finished).
12:15 < rxr> Preparing files for final tarball ...
12:17 < rxr> http://people.exactcode.de/~rene/linux-kernel-2.6.2x.xx-bfin-2008r1.5_rc3.tar.bz2
12:26 < rxr> michael-i: with updated linux-header uclibc builds
12:29 < rxr> michael-i: only some scsi header shared files
12:29 < rxr> michael-i: I remeber that I fixed that once, but I see no patches anymore in t2 - maybe fixed upstream and just not yet in the blackfin variants
12:29 < rxr> will check later
12:49 < michael-i> downloading... (thanks again)
12:50 < michael-i> did you define a bfin specific linux-headers package then with an updated version number? Just looking for something to try here
12:50 < rxr> yes, I copied the blackfin linux26 to linux-header
12:51 < michael-i> ok
13:14 < koan> rxr: T2 is mentioned here http://rwmj.wordpress.com/2009/03/20/why-not-use-a-minimal-distribution/
13:15 < koan> I have been seeing T2 mentioned more and more during the last months
13:16 < michael-i> rxr, got 12-conf-hacks.patch in bfin/linux26 updated to work again (just trying not to double up work)
13:21 < michael-i> my build still fails on uclibc (the second time it is compiled) with the updated headers
13:29 < michael-i> (wait...I'm dumb and named it -headers)
13:35 < rxr> gcc (for libstdc++) still fails with {standard input}:18661: Error: pcrel too far BFD_RELOC_BFIN_10
13:41 < michael-i> Mine made it to the shared scsi header files now. How can I ignore/fix that?
13:42 < rxr> rename the .err to .log
13:43 < rxr> t2 uses the err vs log files to track the target's build state
13:48 < michael-i> thanks, kernel tried to compile but error'd out as well
13:49 < rxr> here, too
13:49 < rxr> I moved the log for now as well
13:49 < rxr> next gcc will error out
13:49 < rxr> but that is only of importance if you need the C++ lib
13:49 < michael-i> we don't (yet) but, like we discussed before, it's probably not too nice to move to a broken c++ environment on blackfin
13:50 < rxr> you have a kernel on your board already?
13:50 < michael-i> correct but we'll need to build one eventually
13:50 < rxr> just focus on your intial asterisk testing
13:51 < rxr> the C++ and kernel fix can go last I would say
13:51 < michael-i> of course
13:51 < michael-i> for next week we're just trying to get an initrd on an SD card that their bootloader/kernel can boot
13:52 < rxr> in the meantime I fill in the new optimization optoins
13:52 < michael-i> I was just going to ask about that :)
13:58 -!- T-One [n=T-One@62.218.122.66] has quit ["Verlassend"]
14:00 < rxr> ok - new blackfin options in trunk
14:00 < CIA-41> rene * r32685 /trunk/architecture/blackfin/config.in:
14:00 < CIA-41> * added a couple of new blackfin CPU optimization options an
14:00 < CIA-41> upadted blackfin toolchain will support
14:01 < rxr> I committed it to avoid fragmentation, few T2 blackfin users anyway :-) so easier for us to stay in sync
14:04 < michael-i> nice
14:04 < rxr> ok - I really should code on some other stuff :-)
14:05 < rxr> I'm a bit more in the background, now ...
14:05 < michael-i> no problem, I'll keep going here. Thanks for everything so far
14:05 < rxr> I'll have the new blackfin build running just for the testing of it
14:05 < rxr> I'll also try to take a look into the gcc issue (relocation error, probably too huge code, assembler is just screeming) and the kernel build issue
14:06 < michael-i> sounds good, I'll also send in my php4.blackfin patches

14:23 < rxr> btw. anyone here remote file system for Mac OS X expert here ?
14:23 < rxr> SMB (Samba ok?) or problems with xatt's ?
14:23 < rxr> xattrs's (extended attributes) even
14:23 < michael-i> we use samba here every day on the nas between 5-6 macbooks
14:26 < rxr> do you have user's home folder on the NAS? or only like "office files" exchange ?
14:27 < michael-i> the latter...so no, nothing too special
14:51 < CIA-41> aldas * r32686 /trunk/package/develop/policykit/policykit.desc: * changed policykit build priority (208.700 -> 147.309), moved before gconf-editor
14:54 < CIA-41> rene * r32687 /trunk/package/network/wireless-tools/wireless-tools.desc: * changed wireless-tools not to be built in stage 1 by default
15:00 < CIA-41> rene * r32688 /branches/7.0/package/network/wireless-tools/wireless-tools.desc: * merged r32687 from trunk: * changed wireless-tools not to be built in stage 1 by default
15:02 < michael-i> asterisk 1.4.24 now fails with: dns.c:(.text+0x23e): undefined reference to `___res_close'. This is a symbol only turned on in uClibc with "UCLIBC_HAS_BSD_RES_CLOSE" which makes me think the asterisk code in /main/dns.c is not correctly setting which res_ function should be used.
15:03 < michael-i> It also has res_ndestroy and res_nclose enclosed in #IFDEFs. uClibc builds res_nclose unconditionally which makes me think a patch is needed for Asterisk's main/dns.c
15:03 < rxr> sounds reasonable
15:04 < rxr> or patch the configure or so to set the correct macro on cross builds
15:05 < michael-i> or that
15:05 < rxr> (though ususally patching code is easier than the crufty configure "junk"
15:05 < rxr> , sorry for the verbose wording :-)
15:07 < michael-i> heheh
15:07 < rxr> http://www.t2-project.org/packages/samba.html
15:08 < rxr> (I occationally paste the package matrix link when a page is not yet easily found by google and one more reffering link from the irc logs might help -- just in case someone wonders about the increasing page of urls from my side :-)
15:09 < rxr> which reminds me: anyone feel free to links some t2 pages from blogs or other project sides, ofr the last 6 months I found this rather increases google awareness :-)
15:09 < michael-i> gaming a search engine algorithm is frowned upon
15:09 < michael-i> ;)
15:19 < michael-i> are any special symbols being set like __BLACKFIN__ ? otherwise I'll just hack in an ugly patch
15:19 < rxr> yes
15:19 < rxr> #elif defined(__bfin__)
15:19 < rxr> I have in some code of mine - hope it's still bfin :-)))
15:20 < michael-i> we'll see
15:28 < michael-i> worked, but revealed the true problem : HAVE_RES_NINIT isn't being set right
15:29 < michael-i> now it tries to close a structure which hasn't been declared...the declaration is in HAVE_RES_INIT...and the res_close problem would also go away. Working on it...
15:49 < michael-i> I guess I'm not sure how to do that. Moving on to PHP4 again to see if the toolchain broke anything.

17:01 < rxr> already 1GB sent out just on the svn. domain ...
17:01 < rxr> when this increases further I guess I have to check out details ...
17:01 < michael-i> not I said the cat
17:02 < michael-i> we have weird peaks like that too on downloads. it almost looks like broken wget scripts most of the time
17:02 < michael-i> well, that's it for me. bye bye everyone
