15:45.42 | Tom___ | gnarface: i was just wondering why there was no such policy. |
15:46.16 | gnarface | lots of hardware with open-source drivers still requires non-free firmware |
15:46.42 | gnarface | including it in a separate repository section allows users to omit such software without punishing users who need it |
15:46.48 | Tom___ | gnarface: but is there a policy to always keep is segregated? |

15:47.27 | gnarface | i don't know officially but i can't imagine a possible reason they'd change that |
15:47.45 | Tom___ | gnarface: i cant ether i just like having it in writing |
15:48.34 | gnarface | i would assume the official stance is probably that they'll just keep it how debian has it unless debian does something stupider |
15:48.57 | gnarface | (in which case, a discussion will likely begin on how to undo the damage) |

15:49.19 | fsmithred | I don't think we have a lot of written-down policy |

15:50.40 | fsmithred | change as little as needed |
15:51.38 | fsmithred | devuan repo pulls from debian and replaces the packages that have been modified |
15:51.59 | fsmithred | so whatever debian does with their repo affects devuan |
15:52.32 | fsmithred | as gnarface said, if they do something stupid, devuan may be motivated to change/fix it. |

16:23.48 | n4dir | the bless of debian, it's good handling of packages and mainly dependencies, in a binary form, might become a curse with that in mind |
16:23.58 | n4dir | i for one don't hold my breath. |
16:27.50 | detha | How much work it is to de-systemd debian packages is not really something dependent on debian, but more on its upstreams. The more developets assume that the systemd paraphernalia will be there, the more effort to undo that assumption |
16:28.22 | detha | Granted, debian is not going to do anything to help. But it shouldn't make it more difficult. |
16:28.46 | fsmithred | I think there are cases where debian has made it more difficult |
16:29.01 | fsmithred | maybe not intentionally |
16:30.15 | n4dir | as there are still distros where you can easily avoid systemd, i am not sure if it really is a upstream problem. |
16:32.00 | detha | It is. All non-systemd distributions (both linux and *bsd) are having to spend more and more effort to undo upstream's assumptions about the environment things run in |

21:15.54 | _abc_ | fsmithred: I see a lot of modules loaded in the live system which probably should not be there? Like parport_pc and others? |

21:17.36 | _abc_ | fsmithred: that's not a problem, the problem is do you need the module loaded and taking time to load and probe or can you load it later or via udev. |

21:32.09 | _abc_ | hmm okay reading source Luke. |
21:32.31 | _abc_ | http://linux-usb.vger.kernel.narkive.com/QP8J5H87/patch-ver-2-usb-storage-add-quirks-module-parameter is the patch which introduced quirks= to usb_storage.ko |
21:32.42 | _abc_ | It documents the quirk flags, some are interesting? |
21:33.00 | _abc_ | like l = lockable (not) |
21:33.31 | _abc_ | :m is also possibly useful |
21:33.35 | _abc_ | and :w is dangerous! |
21:35.03 | _abc_ | well these can be tried at boot time using usb_storage.quirks=... on the kernel cli in the live system |
21:35.15 | _abc_ | Worth a try, requiring a "few" reboots |
21:35.25 | _abc_ | But before that I would like to really understand where the bottleneck is |
21:35.29 | fsmithred | interesting. |
21:36.33 | _abc_ | So after reading the source I know the 'real' docs should be in Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt which goopile failed to find online. I don't buy that. |
21:36.55 | _abc_ | cue https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt |
21:37.29 | _abc_ | Hm so I will try this in a few days, don't want to reboot the live system before finishing setup with it ;) |
21:38.56 | _abc_ | fsmithred: the driver stack for usb sticks is kernel - scsi_mod.ko - usb_storage.ko - etc right? |
21:39.44 | _abc_ | scsi_mod does not appear in the kernel-parameters.txt at all! |
21:39.59 | fsmithred | that sounds familiar |

21:47.47 | _abc_ | At 2.5MB/s write speed the live system is pretty much unusable for tens of seconds while the device updates on write. |
