# 20:46:00 y_morin diorcety: hello!
# 20:48:03 sfan5 is now known as: sfan5|OFF
# 22:03:32 braunr y_morin: have you read my gcc 4.7 patch (about the __m64 related error i asked you about a few days ago) ?
# 22:03:45 braunr ok, just read my mail
# 22:03:55 y_morin braunr: have you read my reply? ;-)
# 22:03:59 y_morin ;-)
# 22:04:14 braunr hum, i'm a complete newb with mercurial
# 22:04:19 braunr i thought my patch was inline
# 22:04:27 braunr didn't see about send-email anywhere
# 22:04:39 braunr didn't know about the signed-off by (thought it was git-only)
# 22:04:47 braunr why have you chosen mercurial btw ?
# 22:05:42 y_morin braunr: look in docs/ there's a quick how-to hack crosstool-NG, and how to send patches.
# 22:05:54 braunr ok
# 22:06:25 y_morin braunr: as for mercurial, I'm getting sick of this question. It's coming over again and again.
# 22:06:39 braunr which i can understand
# 22:06:55 y_morin braunr: But here's the answer, yet once more: with Mercurial, I was up-n-running in a litle under 2 hours.
# 22:07:12 braunr ok
# 22:07:28 braunr hides
# 22:08:06 y_morin braunr: if the underlying question was "why not git?", it's been now roughly 4 years, and I am not yet as fluent in git as I am in Mercurial
# 22:08:16 braunr no it wasn't
# 22:08:29 y_morin braunr: OK
# 22:08:38 braunr i was really interested in anything specific to mercurial that made you chose it
# 22:08:49 diorcety quits : Quit: Leaving.
# 22:09:00 y_morin braunr: the previous VCS I used for crosstool-NG was subversion, because I was used to it.
# 22:09:18 braunr yes i remember
# 22:09:24 y_morin braunr: but subversion is not really usefull for doing a decentralised development.
# 22:09:51 y_morin braunr: I was missing a good merge feature, and proper attribution to changes.
# 22:10:35 y_morin braunr: a friend of mine was using Mercurial, he showed me the basics on a whiteboard for ~30 minutes, then I hacked on it for ~2h.
# 22:10:42 y_morin braunr: and then I migrated.
# 22:11:18 y_morin braunr: Mercurial is *very* easy to use (although it is getting a bit more complicated with the latest releases, I find).
# 22:11:46 y_morin braunr: especially since I am the maintainer, I need a tool with which I will not fubar the repository now and then.
# 22:12:16 braunr sure
# 22:12:37 braunr don't feel forced to say all that :)
# 22:12:50 y_morin braunr: you asked! ;-)
# 22:13:08 braunr "first thing really decent that i came across" was enough eh
# 22:13:38 y_morin braunr: good summary. :-)
# 22:14:53 braunr i've always thought people using something else than git must have some good reason
# 22:15:04 braunr even those still using cvs, although it's hard to imagine
# 22:16:02 smartin y_morin: hi, maybe you should add this in the doc in a section entitled "For git afficinados: Why I choose Mercurial, and not git" ;-)
# 22:16:15 braunr (the author of libev is one of them, and considering his code mastery, one can assume he knows what he's doing with his vcs)
# 22:17:06 Juv1228 git is the new guy on the block
# 22:17:30 Juv1228 anyone new to the world of scm will likely use it, since its whats cool now
# 22:17:39 y_morin smartin: why should I put it in the docs? No one reads the docs! ;-) And I would loose an oportunity for flaming discussions here! :-]
# 22:18:07 Juv1228 oh and i forgot, git is way better than everything else because
# 22:18:25 braunr "Rationale: K&R"
# 22:18:55 y_morin Juv1228: git is hardly the "new kid on the block". It's been here for as long as Mercurial (they were developped in parallel), that is since 2005.
# 22:19:09 Juv1228 it has recently taken off tho
# 22:19:12 y_morin braunr: lol! :-)
# 22:19:16 Juv1228 github for example
# 22:19:28 dalias personally i choose git because it has no dependencies
# 22:19:29 braunr Juv1228 is one such obvious troll in plain sun
# 22:19:43 Juv1228 its whats popular among the 'hip' programming communities
# 22:19:47 dalias you can build and use it anywhere
# 22:19:50 Juv1228 like rails/python etc
# 22:19:58 y_morin dalias: what about the C library? ;-)
# 22:20:08 dalias you have that anywhere :)
# 22:20:32 Juv1228 git on pic?
# 22:20:35 Juv1228 since when
# 22:20:47 braunr dalias: i hope for your sanity that you have a decent package manager that can grab any dependency fast and reliably
# 22:20:57 braunr if that's the case, it's not really a valid reason
# 22:21:06 braunr if not, you really need to change your distro :p
# 22:21:06 Juv1228 braunr, hes one of those gentoo guys
# 22:21:17 Juv1228 http://funroll-loops.info/
# 22:21:52 dalias braunr, i'm thinking of cases where you want to work with the source under version control on the target device (or an emulated version thereof)
# 22:22:08 braunr dalias: that's one way to show insanity
# 22:22:10 dalias :)
# 22:23:45 y_morin dalias: well, my git install weights something like ~8MiB. Not really embedded... :-/
# 22:25:22 dalias depends on your device. these days storage space is rarely as much of a consideration
# 22:25:38 dalias btw my main git binary is ~2mb static linked
# 22:25:52 Juv1228 dalias, tell that to the xbox linux community
# 22:25:55 dalias but i'm not clear if some of the other binaries are needed too
# 22:25:57 y_morin dalias: what about /usr/lib/git-core/ ?
# 22:26:02 Juv1228 we have 256kb of space on nand
# 22:26:36 dalias a bunch of hard links to the same file, it seems..
# 22:27:04 Juv1228 not for me
# 22:27:21 dalias the binary has 109 for link count
# 22:27:43 Juv1228 some of them are hard links, about half are not
# 22:28:25 dalias the ones that aren't seem to be mostly shell scripts
# 22:28:47 dalias and perl scripts
# 22:29:40 braunr notwithstanding the fact it's been off topic for a while, you're talking about using a VCS on a target device, and fighting over a bunch of scripts and programs that are not that big anyway
# 22:30:08 braunr in addition, dalias mentioned emulated versions, which exist precisely to overcome the natural limits of real devices (more memory, faster processing, etc)
# 22:30:12 braunr so, uh please :)
# 22:30:32 y_morin braunr: +1
# 22:30:43 braunr (well, emulated version also exist not to have real versions in the first place, but considering how obvious it is)
# 22:32:26 retard quits : Ping timeout: 265 seconds
# 22:33:27 dalias ok let me explain what i mean. even tho it's obviously slower to work and compile on your device than to cross-compile from a decent machine, it's A LOT faster to type "git pull && make install" in a running virtual machine or on a running device than to build on another machine, transfer the new files to your system image, reboot, etc.
# 22:33:28 retard joins #crosstool-ng
# 22:34:10 dalias hope that makes sense
# 22:34:15 braunr sure
# 22:34:38 braunr but scp only the binary you want is almost always better
# 22:34:58 braunr but if it suits you, why not
# 22:35:11 braunr i'm getting part of this off topic discussion, bad sign
# 22:35:29 dalias :)
# 22:35:41 y_morin hereby declares this off-topic discusion to be *closed*. ;-)
# 22:36:05 Juv1228 y_morin, you should know that never works
# 22:37:40 dalias well, it only half-way works
# 22:38:06 dalias now the off-topic discussion will change from version control to discussion of the rules of what's off-topic and whether you can close off-topic discussions ;-)
# 22:38:33 dalias thankfully i find that a lot more boring, so you're on your own :)
# 22:38:40 y_morin OK, one serious question, now:
# 22:39:02 y_morin would you be interested in receiving the commit mesages on this channel?
# 22:39:25 braunr personally no, the mailing list does the job
# 22:39:43 braunr and better because of the way they can be "processed" in batch
# 22:40:43 Juv1228 its never a bad thing
# 22:40:56 Juv1228 idk how much work it is with hg tho
# 22:41:09 dalias i like commit messages on irc, but i'm not involved in this project so my opinion doesn't matter on it so much
# 22:42:51 braunr you're on the irc channel, you're involved in this question
# 22:48:39 smartin quits : Quit: leaving
# 22:57:28 dalias i'm just in here in case crosstool-ng wants to add musl as a libc choice in the future :)
# 22:59:21 y_morin dalias: patch!
# 23:14:42 mnt_real quits : Ping timeout: 244 seconds
# 23:16:58 y_morin quits : Quit: Nighty Night!
# 23:45:02 devcoder quits : Quit: devcoder
