13:19.57prpplaguesjhill: thought that was funny
13:20.47sjhillprpplague: that is awesome
13:22.52blindvt`it's such a shame that elftor idles :-/ They were/are really great
13:23.18blindvt`prpplague, elftor.com, FYA
13:24.46prpplagueblindvt`: hehe cute
13:25.46sjhillprpplague: hey, i'm having problems with missing libintl.so and friends in buildroot, sound familiar?
13:27.35prpplaguesjhill: i'm not recalling any recent problems with that
13:27.35sjhilli saw a thing in the bug list from you
13:27.43prpplaguesjhill: hmm
13:27.47sjhillstupid gettext crap
13:27.48prpplaguesjhill: let me double check
13:27.54prpplaguesjhill: oh yea

13:28.00prpplaguesjhill: thats a mess
13:28.07prpplaguesjhill: let me get my notes
13:28.09sjhillthat's encouraging
13:28.20Jacmetandersee: hi
13:28.20Jacmetandersee: do you have a moment?
13:28.33sjhillJacmet: only if you have $$$ or brownies
13:29.15Jacmetsjhill: I already promised to send belgian chocolate ;)
13:32.21prpplaguesjhill: ahh yea, there is an old case open for that
13:32.55prpplaguesjhill: i wasn't able to replicate it and email the guy for some more info, but never heard back
13:33.39prpplaguesjhill: you see case 567?
13:33.53prpplaguesjhill: there is a patch there, but i've not looked at in detail
13:38.45prpplaguesjhill: looks to be pretty simple fix
13:38.52sjhillyeah, i'm going to try it out
13:39.10sjhilland it fails to apply
13:39.13sjhillsob
13:39.29prpplaguesjhill: i think what happen was when we up'd the version they changed how the destdir was functioning
13:41.25prpplaguesjhill: should be able to manually apply the change
13:41.51prpplaguesjhill: i'm testing now
13:42.35blindvt`someone may want to update buildroot to use bb-1.1.3, btw. I didn't test it, so i'm staying away from it
13:43.02sjhillprpplague: yeah, nothing changes for me
13:43.11prpplaguesjhill: hmm
13:43.35prpplaguesjhill: give me a few to test
13:43.36sjhillintl/.libs/libgnuintl.so gets built
13:43.44sjhilli wonder if a symbolic link gets made later
13:44.00Jacmetblindvt`: busybox? Buildroot is already updated (r15106)
13:46.06prpplaguesjhill: btw, http://www.halted.com/commerce/ccp20981-fujitsu-pencentra-130-pen-tablet-computer-pencentra-130-80797.htm
13:46.09blindvt`Jacmet, ah. Thanks (and welcome !)
13:46.15prpplaguesjhill: ordered one those to play with
13:46.31Jacmetblindvt`: You're welcome (and thanks!)
13:48.30sjhillprpplague: neat
13:48.55prpplaguesjhill: need to get my hands into a MIPS board
13:49.34prpplaguesjhill: still building
13:49.49prpplaguesjhill: slow desktop
13:50.18blindvt`hm. we need a platform-fixup for setpgrp too
13:52.24blindvt`mine is extern int setpgrp __((pid_t, pid_t)); at least if !_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
13:53.17prpplaguesjhill: just finished they test
13:54.21prpplaguesjhill: the rootfs image has the libint in the right place
13:55.07prpplaguesjhill: you missing it from the staging_dir right?
13:59.22sjhillyeah
13:59.29sjhillrootfs is not even right
14:00.21prpplaguesjhill: what are you seeing in the rootfs?
14:01.00sjhillno 'intl' libraries of any type
14:01.15prpplagueinteresting
14:01.16sjhillmy other question is what's the point of 'gettext' and 'gettext-target'
14:03.33prpplaguei've already found several other problems with this
14:03.35prpplague:(
14:04.01prpplaguesjhill: you have both gettext and libintl selected in the config right?
14:04.10sjhillnope
14:04.14sjhillonly gettext
14:05.15prpplaguesjhill: ah, you need to add libintl which should build for the target
14:08.02sjhillk
14:08.44prpplaguesjhill: re-testing now
14:14.19prpplaguesjhill: hehe yea, there needs to be some minor fixes to the .mk
14:14.32prpplaguesjhill: give me a couple of minutes and i'll get you a patch
14:14.43prpplaguesjhill: need to run one more test
14:16.11sjhillcool, thx

14:28.26prpplaguesjhill: that what you are expecting?
14:29.19solaryou don't really need gettext. It's just needless bloat
14:30.19prpplaguesolar: i tend to agree, i've rarely needed it, but its part of the buildroot, might as well fix it
14:31.01solarrid buildroot of it.
14:31.18solaror rather the only time it should ever be built is if using locales
14:31.40solarwhich are pretty not that well supported at this tiem.

14:51.33sjhillprpplague: thx, will do
14:52.43prpplaguesjhill: hehe, glad i could help for once, hehe
14:54.30Jacmetare anyone using the soekris 4521 buildroot stuff besides Erik?
14:55.56anderseeJacmet: I doubt it
14:56.16Jacmetandersee: ok, saw my mail?
14:56.33anderseebut since anyone using buildroot will be upgrading their entire rootfs, switching to squashfs 3.0 should bother anyone
14:57.27Jacmetandersee: should or shouldn't?
14:57.34anderseeerr
14:57.39CIA-203prpplague * r15161 10buildroot/package/gettext/gettext.mk: added patch to fix progname per case 0000879
14:57.42andersees/should/shouldn't/
14:58.06anderseei.e. feel free to switch things over to squashfs 3.0
14:58.09Jacmetandersee: no, only if they try to use a new rootfs with a old kernel
14:58.45Jacmetandersee: ok, should I update the net4521 squashfs patch at the same time?
14:59.36anderseesure
14:59.38Jacmetandersee: I won't actually be able to test that though
14:59.46anderseebest to keep things in sync
14:59.53Jacmetbut I can check that it builds atleast
15:00.43anderseemy net4521 is currently sitting idle on a shelf, as I currently use a mesh network of Linksys wrt54gs around my house for wireless
15:00.59anderseeso I could pull it out and give it a try later
15:01.16Jacmetandersee: ok, I'll build test it and commit

15:13.01Jacmethmm, ok so I might not build test it

17:36.39blindvt`landley, please fix the sed and ENABLE_CLEANUP breakage, TIA :)
17:45.51CIA-203landley * r15162 10busybox/editors/sed.c:
17:45.53CIA-2Yann Morin spotted some leftover flotsam from halfway through the recent
17:45.55CIA-2llist.c interface change that accidentally got checked in. My bad.
17:46.09blindvt`landley, thanks
17:52.27landleyblindvt: I actually got that from reading through my email.
17:52.48landleyI'm still caught up with the email cc'd to me (well, about 12 hours behind just not, but reasonably caught up.)
17:53.07landleyIt's just the darn testing thing at work...
17:54.41landleyYou know, the difference between "found but not invoked" and "could not be found" is deeply stupid.
17:54.48CIA-203jacmet * r15163 10buildroot/package/sdl/sdl.mk: Bump to upstream v1.2.10 and remove sdl-config symlink generation
17:54.54landleyI know the standard says it, but my lack of caring is just huge.
17:55.16landleySwitching exit(1) to exit(127) I can see, though...
17:58.02CIA-203landley * r15164 10busybox/coreutils/nohup.c: Two more issues pointed out by Bernhard.
17:59.55blindvt`landley, it cares about the retval to be able to distinguish who was the failing part by looking at the return code
18:07.41CIA-203jacmet * r15165 10buildroot/target/squashfs/squashfsroot.mk: (log message trimmed)
18:07.43CIA-2Bump to upstream v3.0
18:07.45CIA-2Notice that this uses a new NON-compatible filesystem format, so you need
18:12.10landley126
18:12.10landleyThe utility specified by utility was found but could not be invoked.
18:12.10landley127
18:12.11landleyAn error occurred in the nohup utility or the utility specified by utility could not be found.
18:12.32landleybernhard: Notice that execvp searches the path for us.
18:12.57landley126 is "utility couldn't be found".  Not "utility was found but didn't have the exec bit set" or a shared library couldn't be loaded or some such.
18:13.05landleySorry, 126 is found but not execed.
18:13.07landley127 is not found.
18:13.17landleyWe don't distinguish between not found and could not exec.
18:13.25landleyAll we see is "exec() returned.  Die now."
18:13.48blindvt`landley, yes. but if nohup itself returns e.g. 1, then you cannot really distinguish what went wrong. That's what i ment.
18:14.19landleysvn 15164 now returns 127.
18:14.25landleyYou still can't distinguish what went wrong.
18:14.55blindvt`landley, haven't looked, but if you don't return 126 for the case mandated by the spec, then the applet still is non-comforming
18:15.08blindvt`but anyway. have to run.. bbl
18:15.37landleyA) We don't distinguish "exec target not found" from "exec target not execable".
18:16.21landleyB) The spec doesn't distinguish "nohup internal error" (of which we have two possible cases) from "utility not found".
18:16.25landleyBoth B cases are 127.
18:16.47landleyOur two cases are "command line empty" and "couldn't open any nohup.out".
18:16.57landleyBoth of which we give error messages for.
18:17.14landleyI'll happily document "the spec is stupid" for this one.
18:17.43blindvt`:) SUS_AUDIT: non-compliant; spec is stoopid
18:21.23landleyblindvt: I could make it so 127 is any error before exec and 126 is error in exec.  That close enough?
18:21.41landleyWe can't distinguish "not found" from "could not exec" without looking at errno.
18:26.49CIA-203jacmet * r15166 10buildroot/target/device/Soekris/net4521/kernel-patches/ (067-squashfs2.patch.bz2 067-squashfs3.0.patch.bz2):
18:26.52CIA-2Update squashfs patch to v3.0 (2.4.28 kernel)
18:26.54CIA-2Untested as I don't have the hw, but the patch applies cleanly.
18:31.47ctaylorI'm having a problem with buildroot where it is building the jffs2 filesystem before it compiles the kernel and copies it into $TARGET_DIR.
18:34.20ctaylorI don't see what dependancy controls what things need to be built before the rootfs.
18:45.17*** join/#uclibc mastag_ (n=mastag@5355BE2D.cable.casema.nl)
18:56.46Jacmetctaylor: I don't think it's handled through dependencies, it simply relies on the include order in the toplevel make
18:57.29Jacmetctaylor: E.G. include target/*/*.mk <- jffs2
18:57.52Jacmetctaylor: is before include target/Makefile.in <- target/device/.../linux.mk
18:59.33Jacmetctaylor: does it work if you simply add a $(JFFS2_TARGET): $(LINUX_KERNEL) dependency in your linux.mk?
19:03.34ctaylorWill try that, I just downloaded the gumstick buildroot (which is using u-boot kernel images in jffs like I am) and that seemed to do the right thing...
19:05.43Jacmetctaylor: ok
20:32.36ctaylorJacmet, making JFFS2_TARGET depend on LINUX_KERNEL seems to have fixed my problem, I just don't understand why is different about the the gumstix buildroot that allows it to work)
20:34.22Jacmetctaylor: ok, great that it works
20:34.54Jacmetctaylor: what have the gumstix people changed compared to normal buildroot? just added packages or something more?
20:45.19ctaylorJacmet, been looking at diffs, so far I can't explain why it works for them
20:46.29Jacmetctaylor: they didn't just cheat and put include target/Makefile.in before include target/*/*.mk in the toplevel makefile?
20:48.28ctaylorJacmet, nope, but they did add 'TARGET_FS' which may be the source of the difference (looking)
20:50.55Jacmetok
20:51.14ctaylorJacmet, that is the secret, they added a TARGET_FS and fixed the target/*/*root.mk files
20:52.10*** join/#uclibc prpplague (n=dave@72.22.131.199)
20:53.52ctaylorJacmet, It looks like this change has been maed in other buildroot based trees (like openwrt) just not the main tree

21:54.08solarandersee: and wanted to figure out what we have in place as far as full system backups. (if anything) If not I can probably take on full OS backups to another box on the localnet
22:09.42anderseesolar: howdy
22:10.18anderseesolar: I do partial backups (i.e. the mailing list and svn archive) to my home box
22:10.30anderseesolar: I figure the rest can be recreated
22:11.26anderseesolar: The OSL folk have a system in place whereby I could do full system backups, but I've not gotten around to getting that setup
22:14.01anderseesolar: anyway, re the May 26th power outage, I'll be around to handle that
