00:02 < jsaw> yes. It would only make sense when the C++ rewrite is being done (if it makes sense at all).
00:03 < rxr> i do not know if we should make such an incompatible change just for some cvs checkout ...
00:03 < rxr> maybe just enforcing an "not that old tar" is way easier ...
00:04 < jsaw> before I answer this, another hypothetical (?) question: do u plan to keep "mine"?
00:06 < rxr> do you really want to know that answer ... ;-)
00:06 < rxr> what is your vote?
00:06 < rxr> mnemoc also joked about a libmine ;-)
00:07 < valentin> mine -r mine
00:08 < jsaw> me now writing to ml
00:17 < mnemoc_> :)
00:18 < mnemoc_> libgem
00:18 < mnemoc_> mine is _just_ an interface
00:20 < rxr> we have a new person with write access now ;-)
00:20 < mnemoc_> who?
00:20 < rxr> jeru ;-)
00:22 < rxr> no. 89
00:22 < rxr> 8 even
00:22 < rxr> 89 would indeed be cool
00:26 < valentin> hm
00:27 < valentin> rxr: what should i write back to the list ?
00:27 < rxr> comments to roadmap planning and such - but of course only if you have comments ...
00:27 < valentin> regarding the download stuff you already cited my opinion
00:28 < valentin> DESTDIR support would be cool, the only annoying component is the [F]lag
00:28 < valentin> we should investigate how many packages have no destdir support
00:28 < rxr> then write s.th. like that - just that I (and others) see that there is agreement or not or whatever
00:28 < jsaw> no to forget about gnome....
00:29 < jsaw> s/no/not/
00:29 < mnemoc_> rxr: what about 'trac' or another web interface?
00:29 < rxr> valentin: you coudl foreach tar ; untar ; grep DESTDIR ... and post results ..
00:29 < rxr> well I want a CMS and bugtracker
00:29 < valentin> ok
00:29 < rxr> I have just no idea to take a look into trac right now and make a decision
00:29 < rxr> maybe I shoudl write this ...
00:31 < valentin> rxr: i'll do your foreach loop as soon as i got my U30 booted :/
00:32 < valentin> it's cdrom dislikes cdrw's
00:32 < rxr> ouch
00:32 < rxr> I never managed to render a installed SPARC unbootable - and you manage it in the first weeks ...
00:33 < valentin> its quite easy - just break your ld-linux.so.* *g*
00:33 < valentin> .oO my gf gets angry
00:33 < valentin> need to leave you now - gn8
00:34 < valentin> i hope my day tomorow will be more productive than today
00:34 < rxr> .oO
00:34 < rxr> ok - g'n8
00:34 < valentin> cu
01:05 < rxr> hm, seems I have some bigger trouble:
01:05 < rxr> 5494: binding file /usr/X11R6/lib/libaudio.so.2 to /lib/libc.so.6: normal symbol `free' [GLIBC_2.0]
01:05 < rxr> /opt/kde33/bin/k3b: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/X11R6/lib/libaudio.so.2: R_PPC_REL24 relocation at 0x0fba5618 for symbol `free' out of range
01:05 < rxr> hm - or not, ...
01:12 < rxr> oh my
01:12 < rxr> I shoudl tell noone what I just did to some .so files ...
01:12 < rxr> my poor CPu, what binary junk I just trow into it ...
01:13 * rxr tetting some fresh wine
01:14 < mnemoc_> chilean? :)
01:14 < rxr> oehm - italien I think :-(
01:14 < mnemoc_> :(
01:14 < rxr> leftover bottle from celebrating into my brithday with susan ;-)
01:15 < rxr> damn - and with this .so files on my system I can not get enough wine
01:15 < mnemoc_> =)
01:15 < rxr> $ k3b
01:15 < rxr> k3b: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/X11R6/lib/libaudio.so.2: R_PPC_REL24 relocation at 0x0fba565c for symbol `free' out of range
01:15 < rxr> argggggghhhhhhhhhhh
01:16 < rxr> not that I would need that app - but every day without a fix for that, is a day my brother phones and complains ... :-(
01:16 < rxr> and after a week of "yeah I fix this soon" I should fix it some day ...
01:23 * rxr now building the nas objects in a bash loop to review what is that broken in that Makefile
01:34 < rxr> .oO
01:34 < rxr> ]# gcc -o bla bla
01:34 < rxr> Segmentation fault (core dumped)
01:34 < mnemoc_> oh
01:35 < rxr> oops I guess it was the shit fucking new 3.0 bash
01:35 < rxr> yep
01:35 < rxr> ELF 32-bit MSB core file, PowerPC or cisco 4500, version 1 (SYSV), SVR4-style, SVR4-style, from 'bash'
01:35 < rxr> damn crappy new thing
01:36 < rxr> I should schedule a debugging session for that beast, search the bash sites for patches or just downdate the thing ...
01:36 < rxr> the 3.0 one is that buggy ..
01:36 < mnemoc_> trunk has bash 3?
01:36 < rxr> yes
01:36 < rxr> as rock has ..
01:36 < rxr> (doesn't it? ;-)
01:37 < rxr> I should verify before I make such comments ..
01:37 < rxr> at least once I looked it had *g*
01:38 < mnemoc_> 2.05b and 3.0
01:38 < rxr> I do not like that _and_ word ...
01:38 < rxr> with nifty config option *g* ?
01:39 < mnemoc_> gcc=ggc2 as pkg name
01:39 < mnemoc_> or gcc=ggc3
01:39 < mnemoc_> bash i mean
01:39 < rxr> don't we talk about bash
01:39 < rxr> ah - ok
01:39 < rxr> and, what is the default?
01:40 < mnemoc_> both o_O
01:40 < rxr> aha
01:40 < rxr> I know why I do not like ROCK after the 2.0.2 release ...
01:54 < CIA-9> rene * r4520 /trunk/package/audio/nas/ (nas.conf nas.desc):
01:54 < CIA-9> * updated nas (1.6 -> 1.6g) - just for fun in the debugging process
01:54 < CIA-9> * fixed nas for non-x86 systems by overwriting hardcoded optimization
01:54 < CIA-9> settings (our generic wrapper does not remove as many options as
01:54 < CIA-9> ROCK's)
01:54 < CIA-9> * cleaned the nas.conf
01:56 < jsaw> now that you had so much fun with nas, why don't you have some more fund with mas?
01:56 < jsaw> :)
01:57 < rxr> you mean packaging it?
01:57 < rxr> btw, nas fun is not yet resolved
01:57 < rxr> the updated verison sill has the relocation problem
01:58 < rxr> just that I know now that is most probably comes out of libXau.a ... :-(
01:58 < jsaw> http://www.mediaapplicationserver.net/
01:58 < rxr> I know it ;-)
01:58 < jsaw> <- "MAS"
01:58 < rxr> at the Linux World Expo I talked with the creator
01:59 < rxr> and took over the X.org booth for 20 minutes talking about Composite and Xaa vs. Kaa ... as well as Xpring ... ;-)
01:59 < jsaw> ups, s/fund/fun/ btw.
01:59 < rxr> do you use mas?
01:59 < rxr> do you really want a package ?
01:59 < jsaw> not yet, but I find it quite interesting.
01:59 < rxr> ok
01:59 * rxr expaneded todo file
02:00 < jsaw> I mean, the graphics part of X is quite nice, but what do I do with a sound application that runs remotely.
02:01 < jsaw> note to self: invent time-warp machine
02:02 -!- sparc-kly|wifi [~sparc-kly@65-23-204-82.prtc.net] has joined #t2
02:04 < rxr> yeah, I buy one hen
02:04 < rxr> +t
02:05 < sparc-kly|wifi> hi ppl
02:05 < jsaw> hi sparc-kly|wifi
02:05 < rxr> http://freedesktop.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1308
02:05 < rxr> sparc-kly|wifi: valentin escaped earlier without leaving a note for you :-(
02:06 < rxr> but he screwed up his sparc by destroying ld-linux.so or so :-(
02:06 < rxr> he will fix it in the morning using the test-boot-cd and continue the build
02:06 < rxr> the above link is my ppc nas bug ...
02:06 < sparc-kly|wifi> damn it .
02:06 < sparc-kly|wifi> valetin you are?
02:07 < rxr> just that it took quite some wine erhm. time to track
02:07 < sparc-kly|wifi> he have email ?
02:07 < mnemoc_> yes
02:07 < rxr> valentin@exactcode.de
02:10 < sparc-kly|wifi> thanks
02:19 < rxr> cool - just finished my first bittorrent download in life
02:19 < sparc-kly|wifi> lol
02:20 * sparc-kly|wifi love bittorrent
02:40 < jsaw> I have to go, cu!
02:40 < rxr> cu
03:07 < CIA-9> rene * r4521 /trunk/package/x11/xorg/shared-Xau.patch:
03:07 < CIA-9> * imported "official" "fix" for a non-PIC libXau, I would have added
03:07 < CIA-9> a readl libXau.so, but since this is what got in the xorg CVS
03:07 < CIA-9> repository we just use what they decided so far. This fixes
03:07 < CIA-9> applications linked to libaudio.so (nas) on non-x86 platforms like
03:07 < CIA-9> powerpc and x86-64 - e.g. k3b.
03:19 < mnemoc_> == 11/01/04 23:07:22 =[5]=> Finished building package 00-dirtree.
03:20 < rxr> how many errors on the way?
03:21 < mnemoc_> none :) ... but it is a minimal
03:22 < mnemoc_> as i always build with abort_on_errors and retry_failed i test incrementaly
03:23 < rxr> cool
03:23 < rxr> we should keep t2 stable ...
03:25 < mnemoc_> if you don't want to be rock2, you shall go for an stable :)
03:25 < rxr> yep, that is my .plan
03:25 < rxr> hm - the linker confuses me
03:25 < rxr> I should long be in bed ...
03:27 < mnemoc_> what time is it there?
03:27 < rxr> 03:27
03:27 < rxr> in theory I have a lecture @10
03:27 < rxr> :00
03:27 < mnemoc_> only 4 hours more than i
03:30 < rxr> we switched from summer to winter time sunday night - so if your country does not have this stupid daylight saving thing we are 1 hour nearer together
03:31 < mnemoc_> we changed too, that's why we are 2 hours closer :)
03:32 < rxr> ok - the nas thing is fixed with r4521
03:32 < rxr> just tripple checked ...
03:32 < rxr> you did what to your clock? added one hour?
03:34 < mnemoc_> yes
03:35 < rxr> ouhm - time chaos in the world ...

09:20 < martin_> rxr: Today is SYP. 5. and .6 LE. If you will "stick in" ...
09:22 < rxr> yes I would like to and try if it is not too late
09:23 < rxr> I'm currently fighting with me if i'm awaken enough to go out of the house now to attend a lecture @10:00
09:23 < rxr> I should not debug stuff until 4:00 in the night .-(
09:24 < martin_> Hmm, i don't know. Are the 4 week up? Or 2 week, because there is labor, too ...
09:24 < martin_> Yes, this not a good idea
09:25 < martin_> I clean my home and will go out for the 3'rd lession
09:25 < rxr> but when the debugging was to get k3b to work on powerpc again, I guess you are happy then it is fixed now ;-), no?
09:26 < martin_> Ups, why it not work on PPC? It will only use some cdrecord or so?!
09:27 < martin_> But, btw: I have some problems with kernel 2.6.x and cdrecord. My cdrecord will use the SCSI-IDE emulation (?) but I hve it not in my kernel (and need it not more?) ...
09:29 < blindcoder> martin_: dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 or dev=ATA:0,0,0 one of those should do the trick
09:30 < martin_> anyone need a good package-box for Apple iBooks or other laptops? :)
09:30 < blindcoder> (correctly adapting the 0,0,0 of course)
09:32 < rxr> martin_: built the latest cdrtools from t2, and use dev=/dev/ide/.../cd
09:32 < rxr> martin_: is the IMHO most intuitive way
09:33 < rxr> martin_: idescsi always sucked (instable, ungly, no DMA) and does not even work in current 2.6 kernels at all ...
09:34 < rxr> martin_: nowadays it is supported (and normally works way better compared to the old crap) to directy write (burn) to ide atapi devices
09:35 < martin_> okay okay, i will test it. Thanks

19:34 < rxr> hi
19:34 < rxr> hi mnemoc
19:34 < rxr> I most probably fix those tonight ...

19:37 < rxr> girlfriend just called ...
19:37 * rxr off a bit
19:38 < rxr> maybe I have the time to fix those later - at least hopefully
19:38 < rxr> if not I promisse to look into it at least tomorrow morning
19:39 < rxr> btw. I got a new computer ;-) I just adopted a 80Mhz (or so) Apple Macintosh 8100/80 ;-)
19:42 < rxr> valentin: you do not need to work on the UpdateList C++ thing - I just did necessary tweaks on my iBook during a (boring) lecture

22:06 * jsaw knows exactly what valentin is talking about
22:06 < sparc-kly> hi valentin
22:06 < valentin> and i did not manage to boot into my U30 :(
22:06 < valentin> but i'll carry the hd to rxr
22:06 < sparc-kly> :S silo problems?
22:07 < valentin> no, still the same as yesterday
22:07 < valentin> it's just that i have no other drive to boot from
22:08 < valentin> i plan to plug my hd into rxr's u30 tomorow and fix my system
22:08 < jsaw> it can't read cdr's either?
22:09 < valentin> all i need to do is a chmod +x /lib/ld-linux.so.*
22:09 < valentin> jsaw: i have an very old optical drive in the U30 that does not work anymore
22:10 < valentin> and all other cdr's i have are IDE :/
22:10 < sparc-kly> change u30 to U@
22:10 < sparc-kly> U2*
22:10 < jsaw> take a straw and position the end near the lens and blow!
22:10 < valentin> jsaw: this is quite difficult, it is a very old drive with a caddy
22:11 < valentin> rxr tried to repair it ago
22:11 < jsaw> then you just have to open the lid?
22:12 < jsaw> (but no spittle...!)
22:12 < valentin> well ...
22:12 < valentin> hehe
22:12 < jsaw> (worked here on about 3 or 4 CD drives, but I used compressed air)
22:12 < valentin> jsaw: the drive generates scsii-errors, regardless if there is a disc in it or not
22:13 < valentin> so it must be more than the lens
22:13 < jsaw> oh.
22:14 < jsaw> ^W^W^W^W^W^W^W^W^W^W^W^W^W^W^W^W...
