00:02.46George-I'm on 2.4.22 :)
00:03.11TCMANGeorge-: yeah, right, but remember how much it took 2.4.20 -> 21 :)
00:03.21George-and?

00:04.45treke.20 was 4 months after .19. .21 was 6 months after .20 :)
00:05.08fliplapyou'll see more action on 2.6.0pre
00:05.19George-so .22 will be 8 months after .21 :)
00:06.04fliplapor 9 months, can't really establish a pattern from 2 values
00:07.47George-fliplap: yeh, it might be + 1/2
00:09.41George-ibot buildroot
00:09.42i guess buildroot is a cool system for building embedded root file systems and can be found at http://uclibc.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/buildroot/ or a heavily modified version used by the OpenZaurus project, or see oz buildroot
00:09.50George-ibot oz buildroot
00:09.50well, oz bk is bk clone bk://openzaurus.bkbits.net/buildroot buildroot-oz; cd buildroot-oz; bk -r co -q; cp def-configs/collie-opie .config (for zaurus 5000d/5500) .. make oldconfig; make; or see bitkeeper (free download but non-gpl) or see 'oz snapshot' if you either cannot or will not use bitkeeper.

00:46.41fliplapit only runs at "full speed" because its dropping so many frames tho, thats rough in some games where 3 missed frames means you missed something :-)

15:03.14absentiaxf86cfg, something else, something else -curses...
15:03.23absentiaall *3* of them make INVALID config files
15:03.33absentiabut there isn't one that is "XFree86 -configure"
15:03.40absentiawhich makes at least a file that isn't invalid.. that can be updated.
15:03.44absentiathat's my point
15:03.53fliplapscripts don't make invalid config files
15:03.55fliplapusers do
15:03.59hardwireexactly
15:04.04absentiaI should be able to say "you know, selection 3 makes a file that won't even allow X to run... the stuff it puts into the file is outdated!  "

15:14.07absentiaI'm a newb here

15:16.02absentiabut it's more than zaurus, it's much of opensource
15:16.14fliplapwe don't have the time to check everything, if something is broken, don't come on irc and bitch, fill out a bug report
15:16.33fliplapon top of all that, yes, developers get really busy with real work. They forget about projects
15:16.38fliplapit happens

15:32.39effy-kunkyngel: LOL, try writing a simple program to do that for you
15:33.04kyngelJust wondered if anyone had the knowledge handy.  I'm not the greatest of programmers, and I'm trying to track down a bug.  :)
15:33.04absentia<PROTECTED>
15:33.05effy-kunkyngel: that is, the processor is made by intel
15:33.06absentiaweeeee
15:33.09absentiaand we're off
15:33.30absentiakyngel: please submit a source code diff patch.... for the endianness that you desire.
15:33.55effy-kunkyngel: if you're worrying about the size of a variable, you better learn to be a better programmer very quickly.
15:34.23effy-kunabsentia: if you want to live a simpler existence, I suggest getting RH8 if you're going with RH on an IBM
15:34.23bflongthe Z is little endian, kindof.
15:34.37effy-kunI dont think IBM has any drivers to help with your RH9 just yet
15:34.42bflongIIRC, you can program either little or big.
15:34.44effy-kunI know I wasnt able to use it
15:34.56bflongBut everything must be one or the other, obvously.
15:35.01effy-kunbflong: why would they bother making a chip both big and little endian?
15:35.26bflongeffy-kun: I don't know. I didn't design it.
15:35.50kyngelRight.  And I'm just starting to program, Effy, so yes, I had better learn. :)
15:35.53effy-kunI've never heard of a practical reason for making a proc both big and little endian. LOL
15:36.01bflongeffy-kun: it's a RISC chip, and can do either one. But for practicalitys sake, it's all little.
15:36.26kyngelI just wondered if the Z used a different size for floats than this MPC hardware I'm using.
15:36.37effy-kunkyngel: the kind of program you would write would have been expected of you in a first programming course of Pascal or C ;)
15:36.38bflongmaking everything little makes the cross compiling easier. :)
15:36.50effy-kunbflong: being RISC has nothing to do with big or little endian
15:37.09bflongeffy-kun: I didn't say it did. :)
15:37.09kyngelwell, obviously now I'm going to have to write one to find out.
15:37.20kyngelI just wondered if I could save myself the trouble, that's all.
15:37.39bflongkyngel: it's little endin. Just use little endin.
15:37.40effy-kunkyngel: do yourself a favor and create a library of useful programs
15:38.16effy-kunkyngel: it being little endian or big endian should only matter to a compiler-writer or a hardware designer
15:38.19bflongkyngel: if you use big endin, you would have to set the cpu to use it and change everything to use big endin. :p
15:38.25effy-kunto a programmer it is meaningless to need to know
15:38.37kyngelOkay...  that's just eliminating a possible source of the bug.  I'm transferring a variable from a program that logs GPS data to a monitoring/parsing program and getting lots of 0s and infinites where I should be getting reasonable values.
15:38.59kyngeleffy-kun, we're working with custom GPS hardware.
15:39.11effy-kunkyngel: could it be you're not type-casting your ints and floats correctly?
15:39.22kyngelI'm just trying to get the Z to properly monitor/display a variable from the GPS over a serial connection.
15:39.41effy-kunI'm not sure about GPS, but if it is like any other communications protocol, it is declared big or little endian and there is no if and or but about it
15:39.49kyngelIt would be no problem to flip it around from little to big endian, if that was the problem.
15:39.59kyngelBut it's not, so I'll look elsewhere.
15:40.05effy-kunyour compiler and libraries should be handling it all
15:40.19kyngelThe program works fine on an x86, effy-kun.
15:40.29kyngelSo it's something quirky with either the Z or my setup there.
15:41.07absentiagood... nearly 600K/sec download from duke
15:41.24effy-kunkyngel: only time I ever saw this quirkiness in relation to big or little endinanness, I was programming an 8051 microcontroller and trying to read the output
15:41.33effy-kunabsentia: RH8.0!!!!
15:41.39absentiaoh, btw.. the worst software/documentation is openldap.
15:41.44absentia9.0
15:41.49effy-kunI'm serious, I had a driver problem with IBM hw today because of 9.0
15:41.55effy-kunno drivers available for 9.0 yet
15:41.59kyngelOkay, then I'll rule it out, effy-kun.
15:42.04absentiaya
15:42.21absentiawe're just investigating linsux for the desktop ... with gnome, kde and/or ximian2
15:42.31absentiaI'm gonna put up a 9.0 with ximian2.. etc.
15:42.36effy-kunkyngel: and I sincerely doubt switching a zero back wards in binary is going to produce extraneous values.
15:42.37effy-kuncould be somewhere else
15:42.42kyngelWhat would yu say is more likely?  In floats that normally should read fairly reasonably, I'm getting lots of values that read 0.000000 or inf.
15:43.05effy-kunkyngel: which cross-compiler are you using?
15:43.45effy-kunabsentia: do you know what the latest version of RH that IBM sells is?
15:43.55kyngel2.95.3
15:44.03effy-kungcc?
15:44.05kyngelYeah.
15:44.33absentianot offhand, sorry.
15:44.40effy-kunwere you able to check the data you're sending and receiving? Is it in correct form? Could there be a bug in the driver?
15:44.50absentiaanyone here use mame on their zaurus c700 ?
15:44.52effy-kunabsentia: if you're slapping it on a server, stick to 8.0 for now hehe
15:44.57absentiaok
15:45.00absentiaI hear ya, man, i hear ya
15:45.08effy-kunspent all day screwing with 9.0 and finally decided IBM isnt up on their RH shit
15:45.14effy-kunwhat is mame?
15:45.21kyngelNo, the binary data itself is logging fine.
15:45.26absentiamulti arcade machine emulator
15:45.31absentiajust slow as shut on the c700
15:45.36absentiash!t
15:45.41kyngelI can sit there and watch 'cat /dev/ttyS0 | strings' and it looks all right.
15:45.49effy-kunkyngel: add printf's and find out where your values are going haywire.
15:46.31kyngelThey're slipping when this parsing program uses shared memory to try and retrieve the variable.
15:46.55effy-kunbut I wouldnt believe at all that big endian or little endian has anything to do with it. Hmmmmm, though, with floats, there is a possibility I guess
15:47.33kyngelWell, I'm not grabbing  too tightly on that endian thing.  It's just an idea.
15:47.38kyngelAnd apparently a bad one.  :)
15:48.59effy-kuncheck with the floats, hmmmmm, geez, I wish I had better info.
15:49.27effy-kundont rule out the endian thing heh. It might be that after all, but for some reason I just doubt it. But then again, I'm not looking at your code.
15:49.30absentiaanyone know a decent ircd  version ?
15:49.34kyngelAnd obviously, I'm not up to the level of a first-year programmer, or I wouldn't be here asking.  :)
15:49.59effy-kunhaha, I've met programmers who never made it to college, and they do just fine
15:50.22effy-kunIve gotta sleep, it's almost 1am
15:50.22kyngelWell, to put it in perspective, I'm on my way to college now.  :)
15:50.44kyngelBefore now, I've only worked doing scripting and parsing stuff; this is some of the first real code I've gotten into.

19:24.43absentiaonly part that's relevant is the "GOOD LUCK" part.
19:25.04absentiaya, I haven't had a good bitchfest with diana in about 8 years.

19:25.36kyngelCan I flash with a FAT32-formatted card, or does it have to be plain FAT?

19:31.05Lolo-hello
19:32.38kyngelGood afternoon.
19:33.55fliplapkyngel: i couldn't tell ya, probably better off with plain fat tho
19:36.28kyngelThanks... I went ahead and formatted the card as FAT anyway.
19:36.39kyngelSo I'm probably better off, since some people do specify FAT16.
19:37.38fliplapyeah
19:38.49kyngelHmm... I wonder if I should swap my old Z for one of the ones we just got in. :)
