# 21:13:38 sfan5 is now known as: sfan5|OFF
# 21:45:36 bhundven|afk y_morin: heh, just got in
# 21:45:40 bhundven|afk is now known as: bhundven
# 21:46:15 y_morin bhundven: Have you seen the recent "custom location" patch series for all components?
# 21:46:29 bhundven I took quick glance, but nothing detailed
# 21:47:01 y_morin bhundven: Recently, you've added "gcc from svn". Do you think that would be covered by "custom location" instead?
# 21:47:08 bhundven yes
# 21:47:30 bhundven I'm gonna take a little bit of time and work on the CT_Get stuff
# 21:47:33 bhundven in that
# 21:47:44 y_morin bhundven: I see that "custom location" as some sort of "I am developping that component, just use my own local changes, for ${DEITY}'s sake".
# 21:47:47 bhundven I will remove the svn thing and move it to the new CT_Get interface
# 21:48:19 y_morin bhundven: I was thinking of removing the "gcc form svn" code path, for the above reason.
# 21:48:27 bhundven sure
# 21:48:37 bhundven that totally makes sense
# 21:48:59 y_morin bhundven: If a non-developper wants to use a gc from svn, it would be his/her responisibility to check it out first, then use "custom location"
# 21:49:06 y_morin gc --> gcc
# 21:49:09 bhundven right
# 21:50:06 y_morin bhundven: So, you agree that, if I strip it off, the "custom location" fills your use-case?
# 21:50:29 bhundven david and I both seem to agree on a view that ct-ng has another use-case for toolchain integrators. Such that, I might have an existing source base with changes to components like gcc, binutils, etc...
# 21:50:50 bhundven it is definitely not for non-developers
# 21:51:17 bhundven I actually propose a CT_DEVELOPER config option under CT_EXPERIMENTAL
# 21:51:22 y_morin bhundven: Sure. I never envioned it this way, but if users fidn it usefull for that, then all the better! :-)
# 21:51:47 bhundven but I'm not sure your view on that
# 21:51:53 bhundven sure
# 21:52:55 bhundven just so that toolchain developer options are seperated from what may be considered experimental
# 21:53:13 bhundven as a user may want experimental options, but not developer options
# 21:53:36 y_morin bhundven: I would prefer we not have yet another hidding option. We already have OBSOLETE and EXPERIMENTAL. I guess EXPERIMENTAL conveys the proper meaning: it's experimental, either in ct-ng itself, or in a component.
# 21:53:51 bhundven i c
# 21:54:11 bhundven and really, a lot of what is under experimental mostly says it hasn't been tested
# 21:54:14 y_morin bhundven: but maybe the help text for EXPERIMENTAL needs updating, then.
# 21:54:24 y_morin yep.
# 21:54:43 bhundven so many things I want to contribute to ct-ng, so little time...
# 21:54:44 bhundven :p
# 21:54:59 y_morin bhundven: have you seen Johannes' debug-shell feature? It is a neat litle trick! ;-)
# 21:55:33 bhundven no. I just got back from talking with a recruiting/consulting agency and have been dealing with that kind of stuff for the last week
# 21:55:37 bhundven I'll take a peek
# 21:56:32 y_morin bhundven: when a command fails, it spawns a shell with the current environment variables, and allows you to fix up things, then {resume,re-run,abort}
# 21:57:02 bhundven ah, nice!
# 21:57:03 y_morin bhundven: how did things go with the startup thingy?
# 21:57:32 bhundven still waiting for the funding to go through. but when we talk with them, they are really excited.
# 21:57:49 bhundven sounds like it will be at most a month away
# 21:57:55 bhundven :D
# 21:57:58 y_morin Good thing for you! :-) (except you'll get less time for ct-ng... ;-] )
# 21:58:07 bhundven I hope not
# 21:58:39 bhundven I'm actually hoping that my part for the startup should be fairly trivial
# 21:58:44 y_morin crosses fingers for both outcomes (job + time for ct-ng! :-) )
# 21:59:05 bhundven "get servers up, deal with the fall-out of applications doing bad things."
# 21:59:56 y_morin Well, that can be a challenge, if uptime is a high-risk constrain.
# 22:00:29 bhundven hybrid cloud based, with some scaling things that need some minor tuning
# 22:02:12 bhundven I'm hoping to get back to my personal project with the car stuff
# 22:02:29 bhundven sooner if I can be a rockstar and pound this startup stuff out
# 22:04:05 y_morin ;-)
# 22:04:55 bhundven I've been looking at directfb, buildroot and yocto project, and ct-ng... and twittling my fingers... chanting... "soon..."
# 22:05:07 bhundven :D
# 22:05:35 bhundven but I'm also looking at wayland
# 22:05:38 bhundven instead of directfb
# 22:06:22 bhundven http://wayland.freedesktop.org/
# 22:11:11 bhundven I really need a timemachine
# 22:11:17 bhundven so i can just stop time and code
# 22:11:44 bhundven forget about going forwards/backwards in time. Just stop.
# 22:15:59 y_morin bhundven: I know the feeling!
# 22:18:02 y_morin wrt wayland: I'm a bit skeptic. The idea is good. I didn't see the code, but there's no reson it can't be good. The issue I see is about migrating all the existing (even if there's an Xserver on-top).
# 22:18:13 y_morin reson --> reason
# 22:18:56 y_morin There is a lot of inertia all over the place, so much that the migration can take years, if not decades.
# 22:19:25 bhundven I don't think that is the goal. I think it's to cut the xserver api/abi in half. The technology of X11 is mostly wasted on desktops and laptops. I would never have multiple xdmc sessions on my laptop for instance.
# 22:19:40 bhundven xdmcp
# 22:19:41 bhundven eh
# 22:19:46 bhundven so many acronyms
# 22:19:59 y_morin bhundven: Ah, the network-transparency! I for one tend to have a few of them.
# 22:20:08 bhundven for a server, it makes sense
# 22:20:16 bhundven and that's why you'd run x11 on wayland
# 22:20:26 bhundven but for an embedded project
# 22:20:41 bhundven just wayland and a custom gtk/kde interface could be sufficient
# 22:20:57 bhundven no x11 overhead
# 22:21:08 bhundven just straight kms/fb access
# 22:21:17 y_morin bhundven: not only for servers. I have a bunch of desktop machines which I do not want to attach a display to each, so I login via XDMCP from my main machine. XDMCP in Xnest, for that matters.
# 22:21:30 bhundven ah, yea.
# 22:21:34 y_morin bhundven: yep, on specialised setups such as embedded, it makes sense.
# 22:21:40 bhundven yes.
# 22:21:58 bhundven I don't think many people with your use-case or servers would move to this
# 22:22:14 bhundven embedded/mobile otoh
# 22:22:29 bhundven and directfb is a direct competitor
# 22:22:37 bhundven ...directly... :p
# 22:22:48 bhundven lol
# 22:23:14 y_morin bhundven: for Joe Random User on his laptop to edit spreadsheets, show pictures to Grandma, send mails and play games, yes, wayland is the way to go.
# 22:23:21 y_morin bhundven: lol! ;-)
# 22:23:32 bhundven yup
# 22:23:51 bhundven yea, all the need for user-space server drivers
# 22:24:08 bhundven could be elimnated by just having applications draw to the framebuffer
# 22:24:18 bhundven through wayland or directfb
# 22:24:59 bhundven and with the nouveau and open source ati stuff getting squared away
# 22:25:02 bhundven it's a good time
# 22:25:16 bhundven to get away from that driver model
# 22:25:31 bhundven less package dependencies
# 22:25:35 y_morin I haven't followed wayland too much, but would it be possible to 'tunnel' a remote frambuffer through a VNC-like connection (eg. with comporession, and stuff like that) ?
# 22:25:45 bhundven :/ idk
# 22:25:51 y_morin bhundven: yep, kill the NVidia binary blob! ;-)
# 22:25:58 y_morin hides...
# 22:26:00 bhundven hehe
# 22:26:29 y_morin Well, back to some coding...
# 22:26:34 bhundven indeed
# 22:26:50 bhundven I'll take some time tonight to get back to the ct_get
# 22:26:58 bhundven and clean it up
# 22:27:01 y_morin Just one before: do you find the new patchwork usefull
# 22:27:02 y_morin ?
# 22:27:08 bhundven if you want to kill off gcc/svn thing
# 22:27:19 y_morin bhundven: Yep, I'm eager to see that CT-Get!
# 22:27:21 bhundven didn't even notice
# 22:28:09 y_morin bhundven: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/crosstool-ng/
# 22:28:46 y_morin Yep, not hosted on ct-ng.org: needs Django and a DB. I'm not too much fond of running those heavy-weights on the machine.
# 22:29:25 bhundven nice
# 22:29:35 bhundven that gets us a bit away from hg email
# 22:29:51 bhundven well, to the mailing list anyways
# 22:29:52 bhundven ?
# 22:30:00 y_morin bhundven: well, you still need to send the patches so pathwork gets them.
# 22:30:06 bhundven ah, ok
# 22:30:20 y_morin bhundven: patchwork is only a mean to see the pending stuff.
# 22:30:34 bhundven I see
# 22:30:43 bhundven ok, I'll have to read up on that when I do my stuff
# 22:31:44 y_morin bhundven: that should be transparent to you: send the patches as usual,patchwork is subscribed to the list, and when a patch is sent, it stores it.
# 22:31:59 bhundven ah, ok
# 22:32:14 bhundven new process: everything is the same.
# 22:32:15 bhundven :D
# 22:32:23 y_morin bhundven: then, anyone can run: pwclient list -p crosstool-ng to get the list of pending patches
# 22:32:35 bhundven nice
# 22:32:40 y_morin bhundven: and run: pwclient view to see the patch.
# 22:33:17 y_morin bhundven: and I have a script here that gets a patch and applies it to my local tree. Then when I push, patchwork is updated, and a mail is sent to the author.
# 22:33:37 bhundven very cool
# 22:33:49 y_morin bhundven: I've recently learnt how to use 'git rebase -i' (thanks to kos_tom!). It rocks! :-)
# 22:33:55 bhundven now if we could automate supporting people on irc/email
# 22:33:58 bhundven :p
# 22:34:10 bhundven yea....
# 22:34:15 y_morin bhundven: but I don't think I'm ready to switch over to git.
# 22:34:30 bhundven for this project, I'm rather fond of hg
# 22:34:41 y_morin bhundven: yep. an bot that replies to questions with something like : RTFM. :-p
# 22:34:48 bhundven for other projects I work on, git is a better solution
# 22:35:04 bhundven I just dislike svn
# 22:35:06 bhundven and perforce
# 22:35:08 bhundven and cvs
# 22:35:16 y_morin bhundven: perfarce, you mean? ;-)
# 22:35:22 bhundven lol
# 22:35:34 bhundven don't even get me started on clearcase
# 22:35:49 y_morin bhundven: ditto. I;ve suffered enough on it...
# 22:50:45 bhundven is now known as: bhundven|afk
# 23:07:57 devcoder joins #crosstool-ng
# 23:08:44 y_morin quits : Quit: Nighty Night!
