07:52.47ZtaAnyone who can help me understand what this Makefile target (from the Linux main Makefile) does exactly: linuxsubdirs: $(patsubst %, _dir_%, $(SUBDIRS))
07:53.09ZtaI want to make my own Makefile that calls Makefiles from subdirs.
07:54.01ZtaFirst I made a simple for-loop in my main Makefile, but this is not good enough; if one of the Makefiles fail, the loop will continue with the next instead of stopping.

10:58.22d3242i get this error compiling iptables with the last snapshot
10:58.34d3242using kernel 2.6.11 header
11:14.20d3242anyone have the same problem ?
11:52.47ZtaI've only used Linux 2.4, sorry.
11:53.10ZtaHow do I make busybox NOT show the help message upon login?

13:36.54vrmI use a compact flash for record/play MP3
13:37.04vrmI don't know how linux works with disks
13:37.09vrmbut look like there is a cache
13:37.23vrm'sync'ed when it's unmounted
13:37.30vrmit's possible to disable it ?
13:39.18GyrosGeiervrm, you can mount the disk in synchronous mode, but that will most likely wear out the flash sooner as partial blocks get written as soon as they are available.
13:39.48vrmgot an idea of the 'sooner' factor ?
13:43.16GyrosGeiervrm, I'd say about factor 10.
13:43.48GyrosGeiervrm, also that is not a guarantee the filesystem will be consistent when you pull the media.
13:43.50vrmand if I 'sync' each time a file is recorded ?
13:44.03*** join/#uclibc plek81 (~plek81@ppc18a.amp.york.ac.uk)
13:44.08GyrosGeiervrm, as well.
13:44.20vrmthe flash is in the box you need to poweroff for remove it
13:44.21GyrosGeiervrm, only an umount will close the filesystem properly.
13:44.29plek81hi, i have a (hopefully quick) question about buildroot
13:45.01vrmcause my user use to shutdown the system without advices :/
13:45.15vrmlike it's an IPod :/
13:46.40plek81i'm getting a patch failure with gdb, patch is 500-thread-timeout.patch, patching file gdb/gdbserver/thread-db.c (gdb is 6.3)
13:47.09GyrosGeiervrm, you are building the system yourself?
13:48.21*** join/#uclibc courtc (~court@adsl-33-162-17.asm.bellsouth.net)
13:49.36plek81i checked the mailing list, and someone else posted with the same problem, but didn't get any replies
13:50.17plek81all 3 hunks fail to apply. any ideas?
13:52.31vrmGyrosGeier, yep
13:53.46GyrosGeiervrm, then I humbly suggest that pressing the power switch for four seconds will do a hard poweroff and pressing it shorter will tell the system to shut down. :-)
13:54.11vrmAPCI thingy ?
13:54.24GyrosGeiervrm, nope
13:54.39vrmit does nothing actualy :/
13:54.40GyrosGeiervrm, the "four seconds" rule is useful still, though
13:54.47vrmyep
13:55.40vrmbah anyway there is é flash, a RO for system and a RW  for sounds, if the users are loosing something, it's only the messages
13:56.04vrmwell I just need to find how to bind the powerbutton to "poweroff" command, thanks :)
13:57.09plek81is this the right place to discuss buildroot problems?
13:57.25GyrosGeiervrm, simple: have a driver kill init with the right signal to suggest a shutdown.
13:57.55GyrosGeiervrm, the elegant way will have init register itself with the driver and instruct it which signal to send to whom.
13:58.31vrmi seen somewhere ACPI drivers was doing that ...
13:58.57vrmplek81, prolly, but i got no clue about your prob :(
13:59.52plek81ok. thanks anyway
14:00.05GyrosGeiervrm, ACPI has an event queue device node that is read by a dedicated daemon.
14:00.17GyrosGeiervrm, I think that would be overkill.
14:00.22plek81it was yesterday's snapshot, so i'll try today's

15:58.24[g2]anyone care to share how to nfs mount a swap partition on a 2.6 kernel ?
16:01.07GyrosGeier[g2], network block device
16:04.44[g2]GyrosGeier, hmmm looks interesting...  any idea if it'll work across cross endian arches x86 (little) to xscale (big) ?
16:07.32GyrosGeier[g2], it should, possibly you will need to reformat the swap partition when it is going to be used by a box with different endianness than before.
16:08.07GyrosGeier[g2], since the nbd has no idea what kind of data is on there, it doesn't particularly care about endiannes and presents a byte array.
16:08.07[g2]I'll have to check into nbd, thx
16:08.41[g2]nod. that's cool, if I get a device on the box then swap probably doesn't care
