11:15 < oilen> hi
11:15 < oilen> anybody alive?
11:19 < rxr> sort of
11:19 < oilen> :)
11:19 < oilen> hello
11:19 < oilen> long time no hear from you
11:19 < oilen> i saw you released 8.0
11:19 < rxr> wb
11:19 < oilen> but it has the same perl bug as the previous 7.0
11:20 < oilen> :D
11:20 < rxr> well, not bugs, just "fully cross compiled" shortcoming
11:21 < rxr> like some glob or so module missing for others packages requiring it to build?
11:21 < oilen> yea
11:21 < rxr> yeah, you can just rebuild perl
11:21 < rxr> and it should be fine
11:21 < rxr> we will work on improving this
11:21 < oilen> nope it misses some File/blabla.pm
11:21 < oilen> i know
11:21 < rxr> think File/Glob.pm :-)
11:21 < oilen> yep
11:21 < oilen> exactly
11:21 < rxr> yeah, not cross built :-(
11:22 < oilen> well i embarked into an abitious project
11:22 < oilen> and T2 will be the guest star
11:22 < rxr> but fully cross building has so many upsides, e.g. I can build all ppc and sparc on my fast amd64 many-core etc, ...
11:22 < rxr> just a few packages are ally a pain to cross build, like pain
11:22 < rxr> err perl :-)
11:22 < oilen> exactly
11:23 < oilen> it's not a big issue as long as they read my post on your site

11:44 < rxr> what kind of project are you working on?
11:45 < oilen> cluster
11:45 < oilen> of linux for transaction processing
11:45 < oilen> financial
11:45 < oilen> i want to use T2 with openboot, on some AMD or Intel avalilable board
11:46 < oilen> now i am struggling to put the project together
11:46 < oilen> and to figure out which parts i need
11:47 < oilen> the most confusing part is MPI and of course the network infrastructure
11:47 < oilen> i need a high speed network bus at an affordable price
11:48 < oilen> oh and there is another still undecided thing
11:48 < oilen> the Database i will use
11:49 < oilen> for now in my production line i use Postgres but that is difficult to make a distributed out of it
11:51 < oilen> so basically what i have for now is T2 on head node with LTSP for worker nodes. Worker nodes will boot via PXE and load T2 images with apps installed
11:51 < oilen> and establish comms with head and listen for commands via MPI
11:51 < oilen> :)
11:52 < rxr> oh, ic
11:52 < rxr> a bigger project :_)
11:52 < oilen> it's in infancy still and my office is full of graphs and sheets of A0 paper with drawings of transactions flow
11:52 < oilen> atomicity,etc
11:52 < oilen> yeah
11:53 < oilen> but hey
11:53 < oilen> everybody will benefit from this
11:53 < oilen> i will post regular updates on progress
11:53 < oilen> because i want to tweak a little the T2 build enviorement
11:53 < rxr> sure, patches welcome
11:54 < oilen> and i want to see it build on n-th cores
11:54 < oilen> maybe somebody will profit from our knowledge and struggle
11:56 < oilen> you mentioned it can be built via distcc
