[09:41] <[raphael]> moin
[09:41] <[raphael]> So my build is no completed, but its not a ROCK Linux, but only a ROCK
[09:42] <[raphael]> without the linux
[09:42] <[raphael]> you really managed to get the linux24 kernel broken
[09:42] <[raphael]> it doesn't compile for some odd reason
[09:46] <[raphael]> and... I
[09:46] <[raphael]> I'm quite suspicious that the build would have worked even if linux24 compiled, because somehow the linux-clib-headers are only available for kernel 2.6
[09:46] <[raphael]> are you not supporting linux24 anymore? then you should remove the package and all the options for it
[09:48] <[raphael]> anyway, the log is here: https://raphael.g-system.at/secret/5-linux24.err
[09:52] <blindcoder> I don't think anyone has done a 24 build in a long time
[09:52] <blindcoder> it _is_ obsolete
[09:58] <[raphael]> blindcoder: not if you use drivers that only work with 2.4
[09:58] <[raphael]> but, I'm thinking of porting the driver over to netbsd anyway
[09:59] <blindcoder> what driver is it?
[09:59] <[raphael]> CAN bus controller
[09:59] <[raphael]> the intel one
[09:59] <[raphael]> let's see.... the URL is
[09:59] <[raphael]> https://ar.linux.it/software/index.html#ocan
[10:00] <[raphael]> there is another one, but its not maintained anymore: https://home.wanadoo.nl/arnaud/index.html
[10:00] <[raphael]> both of them only work with kernel 2.2 or 2.4
[10:00] <[raphael]> regarding the target system I already have a running NetBSD on there, that worked out of the box (isn't that cute?)
[10:00] <[raphael]> but NetBSD does not have a CAN bus driver
[10:01] <[raphael]> so the option is either to get some linux working there or port the driver to NetBSD
[10:02] <[raphael]> blindcoder: but if linux24 is (obviously) not supported anymore, then please remove it completely, it is only leading uneducated people like me to broken builds
[10:02] <blindcoder> sounds like a plan
[10:03] <[raphael]> and... are the RTAI patches working for linux 2.6 ?
[10:03] <[raphael]> anyone tested that?
[10:03] <blindcoder> [raphael]: they haven't been tested in ages, too
[10:04] <blindcoder> [raphael]: the one maintaining them has retired
[10:04] <[raphael]> I see
[10:04] <[raphael]> well, then I'll either use a plain old rock 2.0 or port the driver to netbsd
[10:06] <blindcoder> why not port the driver to 2.6?
[10:09] <[raphael]> 2.6 is not stable enough IMO
[10:09] <[raphael]> its a moving target
[10:09] <[raphael]> and, I don't have any 2.6 around
[10:10] <blindcoder> I see
[10:11] <[raphael]> another reason might be that I'm interested in NetBSD driver development
[10:12] <[raphael]> and this might be a good chance to really get into it
[10:14] <blindcoder> that it is
[10:14] <blindcoder> andwhy pass up ona good chance?
[10:14] <[raphael]> yes... :)
[10:16] <[raphael]> especially because its going to be a critical production system I want to use something that is really stable, well maintained and defined (i.e. netbsd "3.0" compared to linux m.n with gcc x.y, glibc a.b, ...)
[10:19] <blindcoder> well, SuSE 10.1 is well defined
[10:19] <blindcoder> as is RHEL x.y
[10:21] <[raphael]> yes, indeed
[10:21] <[raphael]> and both use kernel 2.6
[10:23] <[raphael]> and I only have 64 MB
[10:26] <[raphael]> .... and I just checked, its probably easier to get your hands on a NetBSD 1.0 than on a SuSE... 6.4 for example
[10:28] <[raphael]> I hope this doesn't sound insulting
[10:28] <[raphael]> no operating system is the best solution for everything, not even netbsd
[10:29] <blindcoder> no offense taken

[10:50] <stf^rocklinux> moin
[10:51] <stf^rocklinux> raphael: the linux24 build error is a typical gcc4 error, caused by stricter C syntax...
[10:51] <stf^rocklinux> raphael: either look for a gcc4 patchset for linux24, or use e.g. gcc34 as your default compiler
[10:53] <stf^rocklinux> afaict the linux-libc-headers does not pose special problems with linux24.
[10:54] <stf^rocklinux> err, [raphael], not raphael... see above :)
[11:03] <th> btw - stf^rocklinux did you test the rev6 iso yet?
[11:03] <th> or blindy?
[11:04] <stf^rocklinux> th: yes. I've marked two then untested patches as tested yesterday ;)
[11:05] <th> stf^rocklinux: so you did the full testing things, so that we can say "this journal does not introduce new bugs"?
[11:05] <stf^rocklinux> th: and I
[11:05] <stf^rocklinux> th: and I'm happy to say I haven't found any new bugs
[11:05] <th> okay - this should be enough for committing, agreed?
[11:06] <stf^rocklinux> th: yes, I've done the usual full install in qemu, with user creation, KDE startup, and all.
[11:06] <th> ok cool
[11:07] <stf^rocklinux> :)
[11:09] <th> do  you remember the two patches in your journal that got swapped?
[11:10] <stf^rocklinux> hmm
[11:10] <stf^rocklinux> yes
[11:10] <th> it was about initrd
[11:10] <th> i manually applied them instead of changing the order...
[11:10] <th> so now when applying i should better reorder
[11:11] <th> 2006053023244423861
[11:11] <stf^rocklinux> th: in my journal they are already in order
[11:11] <th> that was one of them
[11:12] <stf^rocklinux> the other one must have been 2006053023195723512
[11:12] <th> ahh of course
[11:12] <th> and thelatter must be first
[11:12] <stf^rocklinux> yes
[11:16] <stf^rocklinux> th: when you apply the journal, please also apply 2006060919234023684 (it updates rockinitrd version)
[11:18] <th> ok
[11:18] <stf^rocklinux> thx
[11:19] <th> +               CONFIG_INPUT_JOYSTICK=y
[11:19] <th> that's not possible with module?
[11:20] <stf^rocklinux> it's an option that does not directly affect the binary kernel image, but it allows joystick modules to be built.
[11:20] <th> ahhh
[11:20] <th> ok
[11:20] <stf^rocklinux> short answer: no ^^
[11:20] <th> ;-]

[11:26] <th> which patch was that?
[11:26] <th> thats not in the journal..
[11:26] <th> confuses me
[11:27] <stf^rocklinux> that's 2006053023244423861
[11:27] <stf^rocklinux> but reversed o_O
[11:27] <th> ahhh - that's because i manually applied it first - and i missed the literal change
[11:29] <th> ok that's it
[11:32] <stf^rocklinux> so there's a few more (more or less important) bugfixes in SubMaster...
[11:32] <th> yea i'm just about to inspect submaster :)
[11:32] <th> i'd like to have that sound-oss thing in the next journal ithink
[11:34] <th> stf^rocklinux: do i understand it correctly that 2006041211494029578 is only introducing an option which is off by default?
[11:35] <stf^rocklinux> yes, the default gcc package will also include a gcc-autopch script, that's all.
[11:35] <stf^rocklinux> but it doesn't affect default builds.
[11:36] <th> and coud you work (mail) on cliff to include 2006042618320016732 upstream?
[11:37] <stf^rocklinux> hm, I found that it's not really needed... I think I'll discard it when my latest livecd build has finished
[11:37] <th> "KDE 3.5.3 supports cups 1.2"
[11:37] <th> ahhh :-)
[11:38] <stf^rocklinux> their changelog says so ;)
[11:38] <th> kde updates haven't been very hard...
[11:38] <th> do we need/want the cups update?
[11:39] <stf^rocklinux> It's already there, but I suggest not to include any updates.
[11:39] <stf^rocklinux> I mean KDE 3.5.3 is in SM
[11:39] <th> but our current pace is good.
[11:39] <th> and these two updates look alluring but still doable.
[11:40] <stf^rocklinux> well, we gotta release sometime. Updates tend to be tricky sometimes (and in an unpredictable way) :S
[11:41] <th> even for such small things like kde? ;->
[11:41] <th> i would not dare the x11 thing
[11:41] <stf^rocklinux> And I don't have much time hunting more bugs during the next weeks :(
[11:43] <stf^rocklinux> well, I admit kde updates have always been one of the least troublesomes, but I haven't checked the dependencies...
[11:45] <th> and i guess we should do the udev thing, no?
[11:46] <stf^rocklinux> I suggest to skip the updates, we're basically in a state of feature freeze imo, it would be a bad habit to update anything now.
[11:46] <th> ok
[11:46] <th> even kernel?
[11:47] <stf^rocklinux> hm, yes.
[11:48] <th> okay
[11:48] <th> so i'm just going through the personal and public things now
[11:50] <stf^rocklinux> ok
[11:50] <th> how about 2006060919220923600?
[11:50] <th> udev oss thing
[11:52] <th> should have no critical impact
[11:52] <th> if the thing itself works
[11:53] <stf^rocklinux> I've tested the udev rules here and they work as expected
[11:53] <th> and it's based on 092?
[11:54] <stf^rocklinux> yes
[11:54] <th> ok
[11:54] <stf^rocklinux> it's not perfect but loads oss compat modules for all added devices of the sound SUBSYSTEM
[11:54] <th> btw - did we finally fix the duplicate initilisation of loopback interface?
[11:55] <stf^rocklinux> no idea...
[11:55] <th> so do you get a :-( in your qemu on bootup?
[11:55] <stf^rocklinux> IIRC yes
[11:55] <stf^rocklinux> (network related)
[11:56] <th> this thing sucks from a PR point of view

[12:24] <SMP> at some 2.6 version the kernel was changed so that lo already had that address assigned by the kernel
[12:25] <SMP> I'm trying to find out which one ...

[12:26] <[raphael]> stf^rocklinux: just a question, does a linux 2.4 really work, what about devfs and devd?
[12:28] <stf^rocklinux> hm, I've switched to  linux26 relatively late, and we still have the devfs package (but you have to enable it in stone IIRC, it's not the default anymore)
[12:28] <stf^rocklinux> I think the first linux26 kernel that completely worked on my hardware was ~ 2.6.12
[12:29] <stf^rocklinux> (no picture with TV card problem)
[12:30] <stf^rocklinux> [raphael]: what do you mean with devd?
[12:31] <[raphael]> ... I'll give it one more try, with gcc 3.4 and devfs enabled, although switching compiler means a full rebuild
[12:31] <[raphael]> stf^rocklinux: devd: the devfs daemon, probably included(?) in the devfs package
[12:31] <SMP> that was called devfsd
[12:32] <SMP> "dev.d" was a 2.6 thing that existed maybe months
[12:32] <[raphael]> I see, so its different to FreeBSD (it's devd there AFAIK)

[12:37] <[raphael]> ic
[12:38] <daja77_> btw isn't it easier to port that driver to 2.6?
[12:45] <[raphael]> daja77_: I don't know, at least I have no knowledge about linux driver architecture, and not having this I prefer to learn about NetBSD drivers first

[12:46] <[raphael]> and I have a bad feeling about 2.6 since its not yet (interface) stable
