11:10 < CIA-29> rene * r36735 /trunk/package/audio/mpg123/mpg123.desc: * updated mpg123 (1.12.2 -> 1.12.3)
11:14 < koan> rxr: when is the 8.0 release coming? :-)
11:14 < koan> I'm writing an article about Linux on PowerPC, and that's how I encountered T2 SDE again, so I was wondering...

11:41 < rogermason> Hello. I'm new to T2 and trying to build 2.7.0 on a Gentoo box. The build fails on linux-header: scripts/unifdef.c:209: error: conflicting types for 'getline'. Would I be better off trying to build 8.0-rc2?
11:58 < koan> rogermason: it has been a while since I used T2, but yes, 8.0-rc2 or even trunk is fairly stable
13:39 -!- rogermason [~user@CPE001b639d4751-CM0011aea11450.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com] has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
14:07 < CIA-29> rene * r36736 /trunk/package/base/module-init-tools/module-init-tools.desc: * changed module-init-tools to build in the toolchain stage, likewise

14:48 < rogermason> Thanks, koan, for your reply to my earlier question. I downloaded 8.0-rc2 using svn. Unfortunately there is no build directory and so jade 't2-8.0-rc2 $ ./scripts/Config -cfg system' fails.
15:00 < rxr> rogermason: Hm?
15:00 < rxr> koan: yes, I know we should have it very very soonish
15:00 < rxr> koan: I know I'v been telling that for some time now
15:01 < rxr> but, well, life is busy
15:01 < rxr> or rephrased a little better: it's a busy life
15:01 < rxr> I just have mostly one thing to fixup before I really release 8.0 tarballs
15:02 < rxr> which is having the linux kernel module cache stuff and initrd fully correct on cross builds
15:15 < koan> rxr: you're still using a PowerMac G5 as your main development workstation?
15:16 < rxr> well, only "workstation", secondary machine
15:16 < rxr> has not change since long
15:16 < rxr> and a G4 Cube on my home desk
15:34 < CIA-29> rene * r36737 /trunk/package/base/module-init-tools/module-init-tools.conf:
15:34 < CIA-29> * improved module-init-toosls to install in-filesystem sym-link and
15:34 < CIA-29> config file when not building toolchain tools
15:37 < CIA-29> rene * r36738 /trunk/ (2 files in 2 dirs): * updated broken linux kernel config option lists
15:37 < CIA-29> rene * r36739 /trunk/package/base/linux24/linux24.conf:
15:37 < CIA-29> * improved linux kernel builds to generate kernel module meta info
15:37 < CIA-29> even during cross builds
16:32 < CIA-29> rene * r36740 /trunk/architecture/powerpc64/kernel26-disable.lst: * updated powerpc64/kernel26-disable.lst
17:34 < rogermason> I have an i486 iso of 2.7.0 that I downloaded from the T2 web-site. I just booted it inside kvm-qemu. If I go ahead and install it on my core2duo machine, can I then use 2.7.0 to build 8.0-rc2 or the latest svn trunk?
17:37 < rxr> yes, though you may need to update perl, ...
17:40 < rogermason> Thank you for reminding me! I went through that the other day. maybe I should burn the 2.7.0 with the updated perl to a new iso.
17:40 < rxr> maybe we should just get new releases out :-)
17:40 < rogermason> If people like me would stop asking questions... :)
