08:24.37eFfeMhm, I am noticing that on ipkg install often things hang on the http from ipkg.nlsu2-linux.org
08:24.43eFfeMis this a known issue?
08:25.06eFfeMonce the packet starts downloading things are fine, but often it does not start

09:00.05eFfeMhm, found the cause of my ipkg problem. sometimes ipkg.nlsu2-linux is resolved to ipkg-fr-jeanfabrice.nslu2-linux.org and that one seems not responding
09:00.12eFfeMis there a workaround for this ?

20:08.03Harvyis anybody trying to get a native build enviroment working.....?
20:08.26Harvyor worked on the 2.7 build environ
20:09.57Harvywhat I think I need are some configure options to nativly try to build gcc.tar.bz memory or inlining ....?
20:11.20*** join/#openslug koen (n=koen@dominion.kabel.utwente.nl)
20:14.42eFfeMHarvy, i have the native env more or less working
20:14.46eFfeMon 3.10 that is
20:15.14eFfeMjust install slugos-native followed by libc6-dev
20:15.54eFfeMit's not yet perfect though
20:26.27Harvyatm trying to do a native build of gcc
20:27.44HarvyI have done a bb for nano and before that a hello.c, just finished make && make install of binutils
20:28.28Harvyfrom the gnu site
20:34.33NAiLeFfeM: could you add libc6-dev to slugos-native?
20:34.59Harvyi have a kind of log on the native wiki
20:35.13NAiLI can't understand why it's not there, since it'd definitely needed for any development
20:35.39Harvysome fo the ipk tools also appear to be missing
20:35.58NAiLare you trying to set up monotone etc. natively?
20:36.49Harvydid but had real problems atm got enough for nano.bb and hello.c
20:36.52eFfeMNAiL, i already have earlier today
20:36.57NAiLcol
20:37.04NAiLs/col/cool/
20:37.15eFfeMactually I had a little bit of trouble with it, in the end solved it by adding a DEPENDS
20:37.24Harvynano needed the ipk stuff
20:37.33NAiLnano? That's odd
20:37.42eFfeMslugos-native is not that comprehensible
20:37.48Harvyipk-build i think
20:38.00NAiLit's the work of jbowler. It's some kind of black magic ;-)
20:38.10eFfeMstill struggling with the fact that my libstdc++ did not have version info, now trying to rebuild everything
20:38.26eFfeMbut this might also be an issue with the unstable feed.
20:38.32Harvybut download binutils from gnu and untared and built
20:39.07eFfeMi guess it has to do with which version of binutils and how you got there, I'm now rebuilding everything from scratch
20:39.15NAiLIf I can finally get a "proper" dev box soon, I should be able to start cleaning up a bit atleast
20:39.31Harvybinutils 2.17 i think
20:39.59eFfeMalso had the problem that my native libc.so is there but no libc.so.6 etc
20:40.26NAiLodd
20:40.59Harvyi do have the advantage that I can compare a 2.7 o-slu and 3.1
20:41.18eFfeMfor the libc.so yes, for the version info in libstdc++ it might be I destroyed something trying to go to a newer binutils and eventually to glibc2.4
20:41.35NAiLah
20:41.38eFfeMdecided meanwhile to wait a little until it is more stable
20:41.45eFfeMthat is why i decided to rebuild everything
20:42.01NAiLI hope you can get 2.4 working :)
20:42.03eFfeMNAiL do you have access to the autobuild system?
20:42.12NAiLhmm
20:42.21eFfeM2.4: probably not before I leave for holiday
20:42.22NAiLyes, but not from where I'm sitting
20:42.39eFfeMNAiL, np
20:42.46Harvybtw the usbflash swap seems to be ok for now - swap an a different physicsal drive
20:43.03eFfeMif at some point you have time could you try to build memtester on the autobuild ?
20:43.34NAiLI'm hoping for a SlugOS 4.x release with glibc 2.4, latest kernel and stuff ;-)
20:43.34eFfeMbb memtester works fine with me, but it failed on nudi saying that memtester.c is not there (while it is in the gz and also in my local dir)
20:44.25eFfeMI'd love to have a copy of work/memtester from nudi, to compare with mine
20:44.58eFfeMmost of the packages are working with gcc 4.1.1. now only madwifi caused troubles (and I cannot test that one)
20:45.11NAiLcool
20:45.17eFfeMif I recall correctly :-)
20:45.27eFfeMdid a make slugos-packages
20:45.35NAiLI'm hoping that 2.6.18 will be in the next release too. That way I won't have to maintain zd1211 anymore :-P
20:45.46NAiLthe zd1211rw driver is in 2.6.18-rc1 :)
20:45.58eFfeMah, pvrusb2-mci also got in there
20:46.17NAiLcool
20:46.24eFfeMdo you know a good way to get a few missing packages in 3.10 (the ones which I am currently hosting)
20:46.46eFfeMthis came up last week if you still recall
20:46.57NAiLwell, the best way is to bug the stable package manager :-P
20:47.16eFfeMisn't that NAiL :-)
20:47.26NAiLI'll try getting around to it the next few days
20:48.08eFfeMok, you might find me online at odd moments, actually I already have holiday (but the wife probably won't allow me to spent all day behind the pc (lol))
20:48.20NAiLwell
20:48.27eFfeMcurrently still sitting outside with the laptop with some ssh connections.
20:48.40NAiLcould you resend the relevant .bb's ?
20:48.40eFfeMbtw for the soccer lovers: germany crushed portugal by 3-1
20:48.46NAiLyeah
20:48.50NAiLwatching myself ;)
20:48.59NAiLI was hoping for 3-3 :-P
20:49.28eFfeMah, for some reason we dutch do not like the portuguese too much any more :-)
20:49.35NAiLheh
20:49.45NAiLI didn't really care who won
20:49.50NAiLbut the match was fun
20:50.21NAiLyou have write access to trac, right?
20:50.50eFfeMthe bb's from 3.10 are ok, it is only that for some reason they did end up in the broken section of slugos-packages
20:50.56eFfeMtrac, yes
20:51.03eFfeMbrb, grab a fresh beer
20:51.48NAiLFile a bug on slugos, assign it to me, attach relevant stuff
20:52.00NAiLThat way I'm reminded every time I open firefox ;-)
20:52.41eFfeMok
20:53.22eFfeMnot really too  happy that non-dev's can't file bug reports
20:54.17NAiLI know
20:54.29NAiLit's a bit awkward
20:54.42NAiLI'll be back later
20:54.43eFfeMbtw, what shoudl we do with this: http://www.dirkmann.org/nslu2.php and this: http://chezphil.org/slugpower/
20:54.56eFfeMthink I'll add a ref to them in the wiki
20:55.02eFfeMlater
20:55.59NAiLyeah
20:56.03NAiLI liked that one :)
20:56.20eFfeMbtw if the missing packages are in the feed it becomes easier to describe some stuff in the wiki
21:02.47eFfeMthere you go, one ticket for you
21:10.24NAiLaccepted
21:11.58eFfeMAwayNAiL, added the dirkmann link to the peripherals homepage, the one from phil was already there
21:12.40KamilionI seem to be having endian problems with libusb, Is there any way I can recompile openslug to little endian?
21:13.15KamilionI'd rather not use debianslug, heh
21:16.01eFfeMactually debianslug has the same kernel
21:16.52eFfeMi'm not really sure if there is a standard makefile rule to make slugos-le
21:17.05KamilionI know, but the rest of the system is compiled for a little endian; apparently libusb plays better with that than bigendian.
21:17.07eFfeMof course it would be better to solve the libusb problem ...
21:17.29KamilionUnfortunately, I'm not exactly the best coder, and I wouldn't know where to begin.
21:18.04eFfeMmaybe rwhitby can help you if you can catch him online
21:18.04Kamilionall I know is the developer of the app I'm using mentioned that libusb needed some endian patches on OSX and other big endian archs
21:18.23KamilionHowever, I'm pretty decent with a compiler once I know the environment
21:18.36Kamilionand I'd be more than happy to fill a openslug-le repository
21:23.42eFfeMtalk to rwhitby or AwayNAiL
21:24.08KamilionRather talk to NAiL -- rude talking to someone who's /away ;)
21:24.37Kamilionno worries, I'mma have my slug a while, and I'm an IRC veteran.
21:25.09*** join/#openslug koen (n=koen@dominion.kabel.utwente.nl)
21:25.26KamilionI'll be about a while.
21:25.50Kamilionmaybe even do some work on gentooslug, since documentation seems to be quite lacking there
21:26.31KamilionFrankly, I'm just happy to have 2.6.16 on my slug. Kudos to whoever pulled that port off.
21:26.54Kamiliontoo many embedded devices are stuck on 2.4.x kernels ;)
21:28.40eFfeMoh if I'm not there feel free to leave a msg to eFfeM-log
21:29.11eFfeMyeah, I have an embedded 2.4 device. pretty cool device but too difficult to port new drivers to
21:29.26KamilionIndeed, and they don't support usermode drivers very nicely either
21:30.19eFfeMnope
21:30.34koenheh
21:30.47koencompanies are still using 2.4 because 2.6 doesn't support arm
21:31.05koen"there is no -rmk1 patch for 2.6.x, therefore no arm support"
21:32.15KamilionSilly companies. If a couple of hackers can pull it off, why can't they? ;)
21:32.41koencompanies don't 'search'
21:33.09Kamilionlike most users :/
21:33.19eFfeMheh koen
21:33.45KamilionI read the whole wiki before dropping in and asking questions. Only had my slug for 3 days and I've probably done quite a bit with it most users havn't ;)
21:33.49koenor hire mvista, which sells them 2.4.mvista
21:33.59Kamilionfirst thing I did was get root over NFS ;)
21:33.59eFfeMkoen, the device I have is based on sigma 8620, this one has an arm core (but no mmu)
21:34.10eFfeMit was the one I showed at slugdag
21:34.34koeneFfeM: good news: last week a slew of nommu patches were submitted to L-A-K :)
21:35.11eFfeMhm. decided not to try to get 2.6 on this box
21:35.25eFfeMalready too much problems with gcc 4.1.1
21:35.29KamilionHm, that's good news for me though. I've got a mipsel machine with no mmu that could probably use those.
21:35.31koenunless you have a few weeks of spare time to dedicate to it
21:35.33eFfeMstill haven't gotten glibc 2.4 to work
21:36.05eFfeMalso for some reason I ended up with a libstdc++ withouht version info and a libc.so without a libc.so.6 etc
21:36.18eFfeMbut only on the target, not on the host system
21:37.28eFfeMcalling it a day
21:37.32eFfeM~weather eheh
21:37.36koenI pushed a new binutils today which should fix a few problems with glibc
21:37.54koenglibc 2.4 that is
21:38.22eFfeMah, ok might give it a try later
21:38.54eFfeMactually I had problems controlling the order, although I had set everything to preferred 2.4 it still wanted to give me a 2.l3 cross
21:39.01eFfeM2.3 that is
21:39.35eFfeMtalk to you about this later, get some sleep now.
