[13:26] <netrunner> why do I have so many config.foo.swp1234 lying around?
[13:26] <netrunner> and in config/ there are many <config>.swp???
[13:27] <blindcoder> did you ^C ./scripts/Config a few times?
[13:28] <netrunner> hm ... is Config also run as preparation of a build?
[13:28] <netrunner> then yes.
[13:28] <netrunner> reproducably,  Config also aborts by itself if pressing a key during window change ...
[13:29] <stf^rocklinux> netrunner: yeah :S
[13:30] <netrunner> hm, I ask the campus roomfinder for the lecture hall of "intercultural communication" and he shows me the mens bathroom :)
[13:31] <netrunner> th: I have now restarted my build without parallelization, maybe that is broken currently.
[13:32] <blindcoder> netrunner: sounds right, I've hardly ever had _no_ conversation at the pissoir :)

[18:34] eeos (n=eeos@86.53.50.16) joined #rocklinux.
[18:34] <eeos> hi there!
[18:35] <eeos> two questions here: is rock linux still active? where is it possible to find the list of packages in last stable (2.0.3)?
[18:37] <daja77_> yes it is active
[18:37] <daja77_> but don't use that "stable" release
[18:39] <eeos> why?
[18:40] <daja77_> because it is really old and has bugs nobody will fix for you 
[18:40] <daja77_> there is no development on the 2.0 tree anymore
[18:40] <eeos> so, what is the last stable in reality?
[18:40] <daja77_> you can try the iso that is in the topic
[18:41] <stf^rocklinux> eeos: 
[18:41] <stf^rocklinux> eeos: topic is quite stable, it's based on latest ROCK sources (aka Development tree)
[18:43] <stf^rocklinux> eeos: package list for the devel tree is here: https://www.rocklinux.net/packages/
[18:44] <eeos> I cannot find the kernle in the repository
[18:44] <eeos> ?
[18:45] <eeos> I am trying to understand how it works.
[18:46] <stf^rocklinux> the kernel package is called linux, in the base repository
[18:47] <stf^rocklinux> linux package is forked into kernel binary and kernel source packages (e.g. linux=linux26 and linux=linux26-source)
[18:47] <eeos> argh
[18:49] <stf^rocklinux> so to build the 2.6 kernel source, use e.g. `rocket emerge linux=linux26-source`
[18:49] <th> new iso available
[18:49] <stf^rocklinux> eeos: argh?
[18:49] <eeos> ok
[18:50] <eeos> yep, I was surfing around in the package tree to try to understand
[18:50] #rocklinux: mode change '+o th' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.
[18:50] Topic changed on #rocklinux by th!n=th@montana.hbsn.de: https://iso.rocklinux.de/rock-ftp/official/vanilla/crystal-r7579.iso
[18:50] #rocklinux: mode change '-o th' by th!n=th@montana.hbsn.de
[18:50] <eeos> how is the support for commercial packages in rocklinux?
[18:51] <eeos> for example SymLink modems
[18:51] <eeos> ATI cards
[18:51] <eeos> ?
[18:51] <th> perfect.
[18:51] <th> but you propably dont understand what i mean
[18:52] <th> cause:
[18:52] <th> rocklinux is not a distribution
[18:52] <th> so "support" for such things above in the meaning of rocklinux would mean: is it possible to build a distribution which supports above.
[18:52] <th> so the answer to this is: yes
[18:52] <eeos> ah!
[18:52] <th> rocklinux is a toolkit to build distributions
[18:52] <stf^rocklinux> there's already the ati package containing the proprietary ati driver
[18:53] <eeos> which measn that you have to compile everything in
[18:53] <eeos> ok
[18:53] <th> eeos: we have an example distribution
[18:53] <stf^rocklinux> eeos: or download a prebuilt ISO image...
[18:53] <th> eeos: which is called crystal. we release this in binary
[18:53] <th> eeos: see $topic. this is a bootable crystal distribution cd
[18:53] <eeos> then you use it for building the distribution
[18:54] <th> yea or you just use it.
[18:54] <th> crystal is an example. so it contains kde and stuff 
[18:54] <th> 3.5.2
[18:54] <th> koffice-1.5.0
[18:54] <eeos> good
[18:54] <stf^rocklinux> eeos: it is a distribution :) you can use it to build other distros as well 
[18:54] <eeos> if I go for building a new distribution, do I start from the source packages?
[18:55] <stf^rocklinux> eeos: download the ROCK sources, then use ./scripts/Config, ./scripts/Download and ./scripts/Build-Target
[18:56] <eeos> thanks
[18:56] <stf^rocklinux> eeos: in Config, you can see all the available build options and can add or remove packages to or from the 'build list'
[18:57] <eeos> let's say there is a pacake which is not in the rock repository
[18:57] <eeos> can I add it without any problem?
[18:57] <th> yea that's easy
[18:57] <stf^rocklinux> how to add packages is described in the manual available at rocklinux.org
[18:57] <th> if this package is a `./configure&&make&&make install`-like package. than it's a one-liner
[18:58] <stf^rocklinux> in fact it depends on the package... but for most packages it's straight-forward
[18:58] <eeos> how does the installer manage dependencies?
[18:59] <th> the _installer_ doesn't usually you want to install just all packages with it.
[19:00] <th> but you can install a package with `mine` and generate print a dependency list
[19:00] <th> so you can easily setup a shell script as you need
[19:00] <stf^rocklinux> there's no handling of runtime dependencies atm. only of build-time dependencies
[19:01] <eeos> so all the packages become indipendent?
[19:01] <stf^rocklinux> most often runtime dependencies are (a subset of) build-time dependencies, so it's easy to meet them
[19:02] <eeos> how do you manage dependecy from libraries?
[19:02] <eeos> that have to be shared?
[19:02] <daja77_> stf^rocklinux: not for python packages ;)
[19:02] <th> eeos: can you come up with an example?
[19:03] <eeos> well, all kde based packages which depend on the qt libraries
[19:03] <stf^rocklinux> eeos: you mean like shared library x requires shared library y to be installed?
[19:03] <th> eeos: well rocklinux knows about that dependency because it is also a build-time dependency
[19:04] <eeos> for example, or package x requires shared library y
[19:04] <eeos> ah!
[19:05] <eeos> interesting
[19:05] <eeos> let's say I have built the dirstribution and I now have the package pack.tgz to install
[19:05] <eeos> do I go config make make install?
[19:06] <th> first you create a rock package from it.
[19:06] <th> which is the information how it is built
[19:06] <th> then you can Emerge-Pkg it
[19:06] <stf^rocklinux> or rocket emerge it...
[19:06] <th> Usage:
[19:06] <th> ./misc/archive/newpackage.sh <option> package/repository/packagename Download_1 < Download_2, Download_n >
[19:07] <th> so you do: bash ./misc/archive/newpackage.sh package/eeos/foobar https://foo.com/bar.tgz
[19:07] <th> that's it
[19:07] <th> then you might want to add some more info like. software description
[19:07] <th> and licence information
[19:07] <th> then you do `rocket emerge foobar` or `./scripts/Emerge-Pkg foobar`
[19:08] <th> which downloads the source and builds
[19:08] <th> after that you can create a binary package from it
[19:08] <eeos> ah! I have to build a rock package
[19:08] <eeos> similar to building a rpm src package
[19:09] <th> but the rock-package does not contain the source
[19:09] <th> it's downloaded from original location or a mirror
[19:10] <eeos> ok
[19:10] <eeos> I was thinking of the complexity of the operation
[19:14] <eeos> how is hardware recognition? how is it managed?
[19:14] <th> udev
[19:15] <eeos> ok
[19:16] <stf^rocklinux> there's also the hal (hardware abstraction layer) package
[19:16] <eeos> ok
[19:17] <blindcoder> re
[19:18] <stf^rocklinux> module auto-loading can be done via hotplug, rockplug or hwscan
[19:18] <eeos> rockplug?
[19:19] <blindcoder> I don't suggest rockplug
[19:19] <stf^rocklinux> eeos: a ROCK adaptation of hotplug afaik
[19:19] <th> stf^rocklinux: well hotplug is called udev now.
[19:19] <blindcoder> IIRC it hasn't been developed in a loooong time
[19:20] <stf^rocklinux> th: udev doesn't auto-load modules...
[19:20] <th> stf^rocklinux: yes it does!!

[19:21] <blindcoder>    when it is not present like devfs will do.
[19:21] <blindcoder> A: Right, but Linux is supposed to load a module when a device is discovered
[19:22] <blindcoder>    not to load a module when it's accessed.
[19:22] <th> blindcoder: exactly.
[19:22] <th> blindcoder: so it loads the module when the device is discovered.
