12:27 < koan> why does emacs get built when I build qingy?
12:28 < rxr> no idea :-)
12:28 < rxr> ah - you mean as dependency ?
12:29 < koan> yes
12:29 < koan> seems strange, I don't need an editor for running a login manager :-)
12:29 < rxr> build/reference-8.0-trunk-reference-x86-pentiumpro/var/adm/dep-debug/qingy
12:29 < rxr> ^ - from this dep debug output the package really runs xemacs during the build
12:30 < rxr> from qingy.log:
12:30 < rxr> checking for emacs... no
12:30 < rxr> checking for xemacs... xemacs
12:30 < rxr> checking where .elc files should go... ${datadir}/emacs/site-lisp
12:30 < rxr> and then it's never used again it looks
12:30 < rxr> maybe they copied their configure script from another project and have this stray thing in ther e?
12:30 < koan> hm
12:30 < koan> could be
12:30 < rxr> at least the t2 auto-dep is correct for what the package does ...
12:31 < rxr> guess it would also build with Emerge-Pkg -deps=none qingy :-)
12:31 < koan> ok, then I'll bother the qingy peoplke :)
12:31 < koan> -k
12:31 < rxr> yeah - we could also patch this away in the configure on our own and send upstream
12:36 < koan> ok I sent an email to the developer with a question for clarification

15:37 < mpp> gtk+12 package builds outside root dir
15:38 < mpp> anyone else to confirm this ?...
15:42 < mtr> hi mpp
15:43 < mtr> sorry, gtk+12 yesterday build fine here
15:43 < mtr> 311830 23. Okt 05:13 var/adm/logs/5-gtk+12.log
15:48 < rxr> mtr: you cross build again ß
15:48 < rxr> mpp: you cross build again?
15:49 < rxr> (btw. I rarely have gtk+12 in any build anyway due to the shear age and non antialised fonts etc.)
15:49 < rxr> it's only there for very old backward compat. software ...
16:05 < CIA-4> mtr * r30997 /trunk/package/ (x11/mesa/mesa.desc xorg/xorg-server/xorg-server.desc):
16:05 < CIA-4> * fixed mesa and xorg-server priority, build order lbdrm - mesa - xorg-server
16:05 < CIA-4> * changed xorg-server build priority (112.446 -> 112.447)
16:05 < CIA-4> * changed mesa build priority (112.400 -> 112.446)
16:06 < mpp> ah nope
16:06 < mpp> since i have all the hosts on 64bit running no need for crossbuild anymore :-)
16:08 < mtr> rxr: mesa has changed its prefix, its now in /usr/X11R7, maybe we should revert this
16:08 < rxr> hm
16:08 < rxr> indeed some stuff might not check carefully and fail to find libGL
16:08 < mtr> its causing some pkgs to fail, like those linking with qt4-opengl (kdebindings)
16:09 < mtr> or gpac
16:09 < rxr> yes, the old mesa.conf has some symlink hackery
16:09 < mtr> they do not have the right include path
16:09 < rxr> we had it in both for backward compat in usr and usr/X11 and symlinks from one place to the other
16:09 < mtr> GL/gl.h nout found
16:10 < rxr> maybe restore the .conf and reuse the former install hook as "symlink adding" only hook
16:10 < rxr> btw. I carefully hacked mesa to cross build just some months ago
16:10 < rxr> I have not yet checked if the new autoconfiscated mesa still cross build :-(((
16:12 < mtr> ah yes, found the symlink hackery in mesa.conf
16:14 < CIA-4> aldas * r30998 /trunk/package/develop/subversion/subversion.desc: * updated subversion (1.5.3 -> 1.5.4)
16:31 < rxr> or we try to just have it in /usr - probably that works for (nearly?) all stuff today
16:36 < mtr> the symlinks are fine
16:36 < mtr> and quite useful when installing 3rd party GL libraries (nvidia, ati, eg)
16:38 < mtr> we might restore the symlinks with xcfgt2 if the system gpu changes ... ;-)
16:43 < rxr> http://images.appleinsider.com/macminifarm-081023.jpg
16:43 < rxr> (no it's not our office *g*)
16:45 < mpp> nice one :-)
16:45 < mpp> wheres the mini warp fusion reactor hiding ?
16:45 < mpp> :-O
16:45 < mpp> all your electricity are belong to us !
16:50 < rxr> well - the mac mini is laptop hardware inside
16:50 < rxr> probably quite efficient server cabinte you can create with it
16:51 < rxr> claimed to be from this company: http://www.macminicolo.net/
16:51 < rxr> macmini based hosting :-)
16:51 < mpp> btw rxr
16:52 < mpp> had an idea for a nice cpu benchmark
16:52 < rxr> http://www.macminicolo.net/facility.html
16:52 < mpp> i compiled povray37 wich has smp built in
16:52 < mpp> it also streeses fpu and stuff
16:53 < mpp> was courious how your 8way xeon performs
16:53 < rxr> I could check, yes
16:53 < mpp> if interested i'll post it as package - it needs an older version of boost
16:54 < mpp> but i managed to have it running from a single source directory without messing system libs
16:54 < mpp> just out of curiosity
16:56 < koan> hm how do you get german keyboard layout in X? my regular xorg.conf voodoo doesn't work
16:56 < rxr> you need the new xkeyboard-config
16:56 < rxr> and then it is just as it was before
16:56 < rxr> we should probably svn rm the former xkbdata to avoid confusion
16:56 < rxr> looks dead to me
16:57 < koan> I have xkeyboard-config
16:57 < rxr> then it should just work
16:57 < koan> can you pastebin your xorg.conf then?
16:57 < rxr> the t2 default one does work
16:57 < koan> hm
16:57 < rxr> maybe you have something about "no xkb" in the xorg log?
16:57 < rxr> /var/log/X.0.log or so
16:58 < rxr> what does setxkmap de # say ?
16:58 < rxr> xkbmap even
16:58 < rxr> a customer had to noitice however, that the swiss variants changed
16:58 < rxr> if you are "over there"
16:58 < rxr> setxkmap ch -variant de ; setxkbmap ch -variant fr # it's now
16:59 < koan> it's with the kbd driver?
16:59 < rxr> yes, I use the old style drivers
16:59 < rxr> the new hal dbus xevent stuff is too messy for me
16:59 < rxr> breaks more often then it works ...
17:01 < koan> ok it works (for be, I asked about de because I knew you were german and had the same need for non-us keyboard)
17:01 < koan> but
17:02 < koan> if I push alt gr X seems to handle it like an enter button
17:02 < koan> so I can't input | etc
17:03 < rxr> maybe a typo in the new (XML?) data
17:03 < rxr> is that the only issue you have?
17:03 < rxr> if so then it's probably some upstream typo
17:03 < koan> yes it seems so
17:03 < koan> and Xorx.0.log has an error message
17:03 < koan> (EE) XKB: Couldn't open rules file /usr/X11R7/share/X11/xkb/rules/base
17:03 < rxr> all other "alt gr" combos work ?
17:03 < rxr> ok - that's not good
17:03 < koan> euh no
17:04 < rxr> how old is your xkeyboard-config emerge ?
17:04 < koan> none, "alt gr" = "enter" here
17:04 < koan> two days ago
17:04 < rxr> maybe try emering the xkeyboarc-config package
17:04 < rxr> strange
17:04 < rxr> we fixed this rules/base thing some 4 weeks ago
17:04 < rxr> you are on trunk or 7.0 ?
17:04 < koan> trunk
17:04 < rxr> hm - should work, strange
17:05 < rxr> ah - ah
17:05 < rxr> maybe you got an xorg.conf with this base while' we changed it back to xorg
17:05 < koan> hm
17:05 < rxr> is this "/base" string in your xorg.conf ?
17:05 < rxr> try make it "/xorg" if it is
17:06 < koan> no,I have rules xorg, model pc105 and layout be
17:06 < rxr> all strange
17:07 < rxr> apparently I do not specify fules
17:07 < rxr> Section "InputDevice"
17:07 < rxr> Identifier "Keyboard1"
17:07 < rxr> Driver "keyboard"
17:07 < rxr> Option "AutoRepeat" "250 30"
17:07 < rxr> Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
17:07 < rxr> Option "XkbLayout" "de"
17:07 < rxr> EndSection
17:08 < rxr> but this is on some "mixed as usualy, over the yeares merged together" laptop
17:08 < rxr> but a trunk build worked just some days ago in some other project which re-based to trunk's xorg:HEAD
17:09 < koan> still the same
17:09 < koan> but I have in Xorg.0.log an xinput message, it seems he finds the keyboard two times: one time from my xorg.conf and one time from hal?
17:09 < rxr> maybe that's the culprit
17:10 < koan> http://www.vervloesem.eu/temp/Xorg.0.log
17:10 < koan> at the bottom
17:11 < rxr> do you have
17:11 < rxr> xkeyboard-config: usr/X11R7/share/X11/xkb/rules/base
17:11 < rxr> xkeyboard-config: usr/X11R7/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg
17:12 < koan> I have no base...
17:12 < rxr> hm
17:12 < koan> only xorg
17:12 < rxr> maybe try svn up ; mine -rf xkeyboard-config ; Emerge-Pkg xkeyboard-config just to be sure
17:12 < rxr> my (I hope t2:HEAD) system has base with xorg being a symlink to base
17:12 < koan> ok
17:18 < koan> ok now I have base and xorg
17:19 < koan> let's try again :-)
17:19 < rxr> maybe we fixed it not soo long ago as I remember ?
17:19 < koan> hm now the layout is querty here, also in xdm
17:20 < rxr> r30310 | mtr | 2008-09-02 21:50:54 +0200 (Tue, 02 Sep 2008) | 2 lines
17:20 < rxr> * fixed xkeyboard-config to install a default rule set "xorg"
17:20 < koan> but no errors in Xorg.0.log
17:20 < rxr> you mean us querty ?
17:21 < koan> I have an azerty keyboard
17:21 < koan> but X chooses querty now
17:21 < rxr> maybe it needs some layout supplied for the auto matched device?
17:21 < koan> he still seems to find the keyboard two times, one time from the xorg.conf and one time by evdev/hal?
17:22 < rxr> yes, this hal stuff is new :-(
17:22 < rxr> I have not yet really looked at it
17:22 < koan> how can I suppress loading the evdev module?
17:22 < rxr> no idea .-(
17:22 < koan> it's not in xorg.conf, but it's still loaded
17:22 < rxr> I would query google, llikewise
17:23 < koan> so then I would have to write a hal rule?
17:24 < rxr> I hope not
17:24 < rxr> I hope there is some evdev or global flag to tell xorg not to auto-config stuff
17:25 < koan> I have done mine -r xf86-input-evdev
17:25 < rxr> heh - that helps ?
17:25 < koan> I have a warning in Xorg.0.log now, but I have back azerty layout
17:25 < koan> but still not working alt gr
17:25 < rxr> cool *g*
17:25 < rxr> :-(
17:26 < koan> I'll look into that, maybe something wrong with the keycodes I can fix with xkbindkeys or so
17:28 < koan> hm do you get Alt_R as keysym for your alt gr in xev?
17:28 < rxr> or in xkeyboard-config itself
17:28 < rxr> I have apple keyboard withotu two altgr
17:29 < rxr> and a t2 specific kernel tweak to remap stupid apple decided keycodes ...
17:29 < koan> :-)
17:29 < rxr> but my alt gr works the way I want .-)
17:30 < rxr> appears I get ISO_Level3_Shift for my altgr key
17:30 < koan> yes here on my mac too
17:30 < rxr> ah :-)
17:30 < koan> but on the T2 system (AMD64) Alt_R
17:31 < rxr> ok - so a normal pc like keyboard your alt does not yet work?
17:31 < rxr> or an apple keyboard ?
17:31 < koan> it's a normal pc (laptop) keyboard for which alt gr isn't working
17:33 < rxr> ah - ok - so it should not be my apple keyboard patch present in t2 :-)
17:33 < koan> no no
17:33 < rxr> have you checked if other people report something like this in other distributions bug trackers ?
17:33 < koan> I'm looking for it now
17:58 < CIA-4> mtr * r30999 /trunk/package/x11/mesa/mesa.conf: * reactived mesa compatibility symlinks in /usr/{include,lib}
17:58 < mtr> one more to go ...
18:00 < rxr> we're so quick these days
18:00 < rxr> but well - with all the many packages all the auto-notified updates are quite contributing to it
18:01 < mtr> yep, but I have to leave now
18:01 < rxr> cu - have fun
18:01 < rxr> I have to leave in a sec, too
18:02 < mtr> even if xine-lib and kdebindings build error annoys me much
18:02 < rxr> have fun later :-)
18:02 < mtr> ffmpeg update introduces a lot of regressions, the folks changed include folder names
18:02 < mtr> cu :)
18:03 < rxr> cu
18:08 < Baldzius> hm, xine-lib was fine for me
18:08 < rxr> maybe due to a previous build ?
18:09 < rxr> (of ffmpeg and the old files still being in place)
18:09 < rxr> so - have to leave, quickly - cu then
18:10 < Baldzius> cu
18:10 < Baldzius> maybe, i'll check during the weekend
18:10 < Baldzius> with a fresh build
