01:05.55 | MonMotha | hum, I need to find myself a 72pin SIMM socket |
01:05.59 | MonMotha | the local parts shop only has 32 pins |
01:06.01 | MonMotha | er 30 |
01:07.20 | file | MonMotha: that's strange |
01:07.32 | sorphin | MonMotha: yeah, i know, no spares here either |
01:07.32 | file | I have never seen 30 pin SIMMs... |
01:08.05 | MonMotha | file: what!? |
01:08.27 | ade|indy | you have got to be joking |
01:08.29 | sorphin | MonMotha: do i even wanna know wtf he's on about now? |
01:09.01 | file | MonMotha: I seriously thought they were a joke when my friend told me about them one time |
01:09.15 | ade|indy | lol oh dear |
01:09.15 | MonMotha | file: no, 30 pin simms most certainly exsit |
01:09.35 | sorphin | and always will |
01:09.40 | ade|indy | sorphin: you are missing a treat ! |
01:09.54 | sorphin | ade|indy: if it involves file |
01:10.05 | sorphin | ade|indy: all it is is a waste of my screen |
01:10.10 | sorphin | always is |
01:10.16 | ade|indy | harsh |
01:10.39 | sorphin | ade|indy: well, i've never seen him say anything that even remotely seemed useful to me |
01:10.41 | sorphin | so.. |
01:11.00 | file | nobody says anything truly useful to you, so your statement would therefore indicate you should ignore everyone |
01:11.35 | file | MonMotha: what are they used in? |
01:11.58 | MonMotha | file: older 486s, most 386s, 286s, XTs with no onboard RAM |
01:12.03 | MonMotha | various embedded devices |
01:12.07 | file | interesting |
01:13.22 | file | MonMotha: how's your Webpals? |
01:13.27 | ade|indy | what are the ucsimms , 30pin jobs ? |
01:24.57 | MonMotha | file: actually, why do you think I was looking for a SIMM slot? |
01:25.06 | MonMotha | I picked up the rest of what I need to build the programmer |

01:46.28 | sorphin | hahaha |
01:46.37 | file | prpplague: a friend told me a few years ago about 30 pin SIMMs but I did not know if he was telling the truth or not |
01:46.37 | sorphin | guess they got a lot of hate mail today |
01:47.19 | prpplague | file: ha |

02:15.00 | prpplague | sorphin: no just beer |
02:15.31 | prpplague | sorphin: you better hope that you never have to deal with this kinda shit |
02:15.33 | kergoth`bbl | sorphin: now thats just _mean_ |
02:16.14 | sorphin | prpplague: oh, i won't |
02:16.51 | prpplague | sorphin: ya well that doesn;t you won;t get stuck with a wife in the hospital |
02:17.21 | sorphin | heh |
02:18.41 | prpplague | kergoth`bbl: are you lucking |
02:18.48 | prpplague | lurking even |
02:19.05 | kergoth | nah, just lazy |
02:19.33 | prpplague | kergoth: i hear mallum is making progress with new tiny-x builds |
02:19.42 | prpplague | kergoth: as well as gpe builds |
02:20.03 | kergoth | yeah, so it seems :) |
02:20.10 | jacques | bah |
02:20.13 | jacques | he's lucky |
02:20.24 | jacques | he doesn't have to deal with tslib crapola |
02:20.32 | kergoth | heh |
02:20.33 | jacques | i just xcompiled 4.3.0 for arm last night |
02:20.37 | kergoth | mallum built our tinyx to use tslib |
02:20.39 | kergoth | and its working fine. |
02:20.42 | kergoth | we are using tslib |
02:20.42 | kergoth | heh |
02:20.52 | jacques | ok fine but there is a hack in just for the ipaq |
02:21.01 | kergoth | er, why? |
02:21.03 | prpplague | jacques: ya well, i'm just lucky no one has flamed my email address for the butcher job i did on tiny-x oz build |
02:21.09 | kergoth | recent tslib cvs ipaq support is in the core ts_read_raw.c |
02:21.14 | kergoth | nothing seperate |
02:21.24 | jacques | i can kinda get it working for tuxscreen but it's just not right |
02:21.42 | kergoth | That reminds me, I need to push up some more patches to douglas |
02:21.56 | kergoth | havent sent my fixes for the 3rd argument of ts_read(_raw) |
02:22.06 | kergoth | right now its horribly broken if you request anythign other than a single ts event |
02:22.32 | jacques | kergoth: do you have a tux - sounds like you would be invaluable in fixing the problems I am having |
02:22.41 | kergoth | fraid not, I didnt get in on it before they sold out |
02:22.56 | kergoth | what is the tux's ts controller? ucb1x00? |
02:23.04 | jacques | correct |
02:23.12 | kergoth | hm, I've used the ucb1x00 support in tslib |
02:23.21 | kergoth | the Z uses a chip very similar, uses the same driver in fact |
02:23.25 | jacques | or am I getting confused with ipaq |
02:23.29 | jacques | dang |
02:23.42 | kergoth | whats the behavior you're seeing? |
02:23.46 | kergoth | does ts_calibrate work? |
02:24.05 | jacques | it's as if callbacks into the tslib library are not happening in the correct order |
02:24.05 | kergoth | Z has a tc35143af.. toshiba analog frontend |
02:24.23 | kergoth | drop a printf or two into each module's read function |
02:24.28 | kergoth | whats your tslib.conf look like? |
02:24.28 | jacques | I dod |
02:24.35 | jacques | I did and got really confused |
02:24.38 | kergoth | hehe |
02:24.40 | kergoth | yeah, that happens |
02:24.55 | jacques | I got best results by removing I think 2 of the modules from the chain |
02:25.09 | jacques | dejitter was doing aweful things |
02:25.38 | jacques | I last got deep into it in november and after working o nit for 2 weeks got discouraged - I just started again last night with cvs tslib and 4.3.0 |
02:25.55 | kergoth | i havent run into problems with dejitter. variance can be strange though |
02:26.00 | jacques | kergoth: now I know who to ask when I hit problems :-) |
02:26.05 | kergoth | to be safe, just have 'module linear' in ts.conf |
02:26.30 | jacques | i remember I hacked things up pretty good in nov |
02:26.51 | jacques | had to add my own printfs in modules because they didnt have enough debugs |
02:27.02 | jacques | ended up removing 2 modules and modifying the remaining one |
02:27.20 | prpplague | lordy lordy lordy |
02:27.24 | jacques | anyway - I am going to try again and will ask you when I have hard info |
02:27.37 | jacques | I am going to work on it this weekend |
02:27.52 | jacques | before nobody would even discuss tslib with me :-) |
02:28.04 | kergoth | jacques: hehe, okay let me know |
02:28.07 | prpplague | jacques: ya well ts is scary period |
02:28.17 | kergoth | not once you understand it |
02:28.25 | prpplague | jacques: scanline is a good source of info |
02:28.39 | kergoth | yeah, scanline has a couple alternate filtering algorithms to consider for dejitter |
02:28.41 | prpplague | kergoth: agreed, but finding someone to share the "black magic" is hard |
02:28.49 | kergoth | yeah, agreed |
02:28.56 | jacques | cool kergoth and scanline - BE AFRAID |
02:28.56 | kergoth | I had to write a new tslib module for collie |
02:29.09 | kergoth | to yank some weird alterations from kernel space into user space |
02:29.16 | jacques | and corgi? lol |
02:29.25 | kergoth | it mmap()s /dev/mem to yank some magic numbers manufacturing writes to the flash before shipment |
02:29.31 | kergoth | ugly ugly |
02:29.42 | kergoth | corgi is the c700 :) |
02:30.06 | jacques | the british royal family loves corgis |
02:30.17 | kergoth | hehe. i dunno where sharp gets their machine names |
02:30.22 | kergoth | i mean, collie, poodle, and corgi? ;) |
02:30.32 | jacques | what's poodle? |
02:30.39 | kergoth | SL-5600 |
02:30.43 | kergoth | aka SL-B500 (japanese model) |
02:30.51 | jacques | ah |
02:31.03 | kergoth | uses the same TS interface as collie, so didnt need explicit support |
02:32.12 | jacques | wow I am strangely excited now |
02:32.28 | kergoth | I'm sure we can get it going. tslib is really quite cool when it works :) |
02:32.31 | jacques | I have been trying to get this working for so long and now I think it's possible with help |
02:32.52 | jacques | cant wait to get home tonight and start hackin gon it |
02:33.14 | kergoth | I actually need to rewrite the tslib patch for qt/embedded one of these days, its a pretty high priority todo item |
02:33.31 | sorphin | kergoth: i'm still waiting for OZ 3.1 :P |
02:33.50 | kergoth | sorphin: rc3 releases as soon as docwhat pushes his changeset to finalize our samba packages |
02:33.57 | kergoth | sorphin: everything else is set for that release |
02:34.02 | kergoth | final is a lil ways off yet |
02:34.11 | sorphin | heh |
02:34.13 | kergoth | http://openembedded.org/phpwiki/index.php/TODO |
02:34.20 | kergoth | I split it up by release |
02:34.21 | kergoth | heh |
02:38.59 | MonMotha | prpplague: I have never used, but have seen SIPPS..very fun things :) |
02:39.46 | prpplague | MonMotha: ya i made a killin on TI 386 look alike boards with sipps |
02:40.01 | MonMotha | heh |
02:40.32 | MonMotha | the place that I buy most of my parts from (now that radio shack isn't restocking their digital stuff) has a few of them in the display case :) |
02:40.44 | MonMotha | I believe he said they were 512k, $25 each |
02:40.52 | prpplague | MonMotha: i used to buy these SIPP and DIMM boards that you could solder old DIPP chips on |
02:41.00 | MonMotha | interesting |
02:41.13 | MonMotha | I just need to find a 72 pin SIMM socket so I can finish my webpal flash programmer |
02:41.22 | prpplague | MonMotha: good luck |
02:41.31 | file | MonMotha: how about an old mobo? |
02:41.42 | file | :) |
02:41.49 | prpplague | file: the pins are too close to de-solder without expensive equipment |
02:42.01 | file | prpplague: damn |
02:42.23 | prpplague | MonMotha: guess you've already tried digikey |
02:43.00 | MonMotha | prpplague: nope, that's my next step |
02:43.24 | MonMotha | prpplague: the guy reccomended using a propane torch to try and heat all the joints at once, then slap the board on the table to get the socket out |
02:43.27 | MonMotha | I'd be afraid of melting the socket |
02:43.35 | MonMotha | certainly can't be done with my little 30W iron |
02:43.50 | prpplague | MonMotha: eww |
02:43.52 | sorphin | prpplague: i remember boards too w/ socketed cache :P |
02:44.17 | prpplague | MonMotha: the 15w blue radio shack iron can do it, you just have to take your time |
02:44.19 | jacques | yeh me too |
02:45.23 | MonMotha | the problem is that there's almost no solder on the joint...not enough to wick it off |
02:45.33 | MonMotha | yes, I have various boards with "cache on a stick" |
02:48.27 | prpplague | MonMotha: ya i've purchase very thin solder that i can pre-tin the joint's |
02:50.03 | prpplague | kergoth: btw, what are doing ate home on this fine friday? |
02:50.05 | MonMotha | I have some pretty thin stuff...but I don't think it's worth it to do 72 pins |
02:50.15 | MonMotha | I'll just get a couple off digi-key |
02:50.49 | sorphin | heh |
02:51.37 | kergoth | prpplague: drinking, thats what |
02:51.45 | kergoth | prpplague: heh. friends are busy |
02:53.36 | prpplague | kergoth: lol, ohh well carry on then |

03:26.52 | prpplague | kergoth: "would you like fries with that?" |
03:27.13 | kergoth | ehhe |
03:27.39 | sorphin | now he just says |
03:27.44 | sorphin | "would you like cables with that?" |
03:28.39 | prpplague | sorphin: or when the SCO is involved - "would you like a kernel panic with you digi driver?" |
03:28.53 | kergoth | hehe |
03:29.04 | kergoth | "Why yes ma'am, the kernel panic is only 99 cents on our special value menu!" |
03:29.13 | prpplague | rotfl |
03:29.40 | sorphin | "vasoline included w/ every purchase" |
03:29.42 | prpplague | and if you buy now we will throw in the "double kernel panic" for free!!! |
03:31.01 | prpplague | guys, i don't about you, but i sure need to sponsor more opensource projects...... |
03:32.03 | sorphin | heh |
03:32.41 | prpplague | sorphin: no laughing matter, my employeers are making a shit load of money on opensource, seems only fair that we give back |
03:33.22 | kergoth | oh i agree |
03:33.25 | kergoth | but what struck me as odd |
03:33.30 | kergoth | was that you associate yourself with your company |
03:33.40 | kergoth | 'i sure need to sponsor more oepnsource projects' |
03:33.44 | kergoth | sorphin: nah, i use heh differently too |
03:33.53 | sorphin | hehe = laugh, heh = means oh.. hmm.. interesting, etc |
03:33.55 | kergoth | right |
03:33.57 | kergoth | exactly |
03:33.57 | kergoth | well |
03:34.00 | kergoth | hehe is more a chuckle |
03:34.01 | kergoth | but yeah |
03:34.09 | sorphin | kergoth: finally |
03:34.37 | kergoth | course i use heh in real life too. them: blah blah blah. me: heh |
03:34.44 | sorphin | kergoth: ditto |
03:34.56 | sorphin | kergoth: amazed to see someone else who understands :P |
03:35.13 | prpplague | kergoth: well its kinda like being a politician, the first few years you figure that you can do some good, later you slowly become just like everyone else, just another pawn in the game |
03:35.16 | kergoth | yeah. course a lot of people dont even understand the use of hehe |
03:35.19 | kergoth | much less heh |
03:35.32 | kergoth | prpplague: GET OUT MAN! |
03:35.34 | kergoth | heheh |
03:35.40 | prpplague | i use lol way tooo much |
03:35.40 | kergoth | prpplague: its not too late! |
03:35.46 | sorphin | prpplague the POS politician |
03:35.55 | kergoth | corrupted by point of sale |
03:35.59 | prpplague | ha |
03:35.59 | kergoth | thats .. odd |
03:36.04 | kergoth | hehe |
03:36.09 | sorphin | indeed |
03:36.28 | prpplague | well, when i make this kinda of money atleast i can spend it on other OS projects |
03:37.09 | sorphin | non P.OS projects |
03:37.15 | prpplague | kergoth: i would leave if they tried anything like SCO |
03:37.31 | sorphin | prpplague: umm |
03:37.42 | sorphin | prpplague: they're already going to be something almost as stupid :P |
03:38.43 | prpplague | i'd argue, is taking money from morons any different than morons who frequent nudie bars? we give them what they want, we take their money and do what we want |
03:39.38 | sorphin | prpplague: but then |
03:39.46 | sorphin | you've given $ at a nudie bar, so.. |
03:39.58 | kergoth | did dave just call himself a moron? |
03:40.10 | sorphin | kergoth: i think he did |
03:40.17 | kergoth | hmm |
03:41.30 | prpplague | kergoth: dave has always called himself a moron, i'm nothing more than a handyman, skilled at everything, expert at nothing |
03:41.56 | kergoth | heh, i'm a generalist as well |
03:43.19 | kergoth | you know.. i do that.. but its just one of many things.. not specializing in it |
03:43.19 | kergoth | :P |
03:43.22 | prpplague | sorphin: isn't that the job description for employement at a telco? |
03:43.45 | sorphin | prpplague: least this telco employee got a raise today :P |
03:44.04 | kergoth | fucker |
03:44.13 | kergoth | I havent gotten a raise in like 3 years |
03:44.20 | sorphin | 'i hadn't in 2 :P |
03:44.25 | kergoth | heh |
03:44.50 | sorphin | twas only 5%, but once wcom gets out of bankruptcy (very soon) my new boss is gonna do like my old one was gonna, try and bump my $ up |
03:44.54 | prpplague | kergoth: don't make me feel any more guilty than i am today |
03:44.57 | sorphin | cuz they know how underpaid i am |
03:46.07 | sorphin | and yet, i'm at 33k atm.. (till they can do that stuff) |
03:46.33 | prpplague | sorphin: 33k? |
03:46.39 | prpplague | sorphin: your shitting me? |
03:47.18 | prpplague | sorphin: why the hell are you working for worldcom? |
03:47.28 | sorphin | i started there at 31k doing cisco (i learned cisco there) |
03:47.58 | prpplague | sorphin: ccna? |
03:48.01 | sorphin | prpplague: let's see, i was fresh outta college again and i had bills (i had just finished my bachelors after working at AT&T previously and taking a year off) |
03:48.24 | sorphin | heh, AT&T i only made 22k (1995-96) and ran an ISP in my "spare" time |
03:48.38 | sorphin | no, i'm not a ccna, but could easily get it prolly, NP too |
03:48.39 | prpplague | sorphin: hmm, with your frame relay experience you could be working big time |
03:49.20 | sorphin | heh |
03:49.33 | kergoth | yeah, definately. too bad the job market blows goats he |
03:49.33 | kergoth | eh |
03:49.46 | sorphin | advanced routing |
03:50.08 | sorphin | tho my heart belongs to unix :P |
03:50.14 | prpplague | sorphin: damm, you need to work for my pimp |
03:50.54 | sorphin | prpplague: i'd show you my resume |
03:50.56 | sorphin | but you'd prolly laugh |
03:51.05 | kergoth | heh |
03:51.19 | prpplague | sorphin: fuck you'd laugh at the ppl we normally hire |
03:51.31 | kergoth | my resume consists of .. office depot retail sales and cashiering, office max retail business machine sanes, warehouse work, and Digi. |
03:51.39 | sorphin | prpplague: dude, i've laughed at the ppl wcom has hired, hell, i laugh at most CS grads :P |
03:51.52 | sorphin | kergoth: heh, i have jobs not on my resume |
03:51.52 | prpplague | kergoth: no shit |
03:52.04 | kergoth | oh, and no degree |
03:52.07 | prpplague | kergoth: thats incredible |
03:52.20 | sorphin | worked for dominos |
03:52.21 | kergoth | I'm making $39,333 at digi right now |
03:52.22 | prpplague | kergoth: OZ is hell of a resume listing |
03:52.29 | kergoth | they hired my ass right out of retail sales at $37k |
03:52.35 | kergoth | talk about luck |
03:52.39 | kergoth | if i hadnt gotten that, i'd be hosed right now |
03:52.47 | prpplague | kergoth: why the f hasn;t sharp hired you? |
03:53.03 | kergoth | cause they're incompetant? that much is pretty obvious |
03:53.18 | kergoth | I need to add OZ/OE/etc to my resume |
03:53.22 | prpplague | kergoth: they are f'n fools |
03:53.48 | kergoth | that they are |
03:53.56 | sorphin | prpplague,kergoth: it's obvious sharp is stupid |
03:54.03 | sorphin | look at the stepping levels they used on the 5600 :P |
03:54.08 | sorphin | the shite one |
03:54.22 | kergoth | B.. well the pxa255 wasnt shipping in numbers, they pushed it out the door |
03:54.26 | kergoth | didnt want to wait, i'd assume |
03:54.29 | kergoth | same is true for the c700 |
03:55.01 | sorphin | kergoth: the most annoyign thing about the Z |
03:55.17 | prpplague | kergoth: you know my bc back pack i developed |
03:55.20 | prpplague | kergoth: ? |
03:55.21 | sorphin | i powered mine up this past week, for the 1st time in month of just sitting on the cradle |
03:55.28 | sorphin | for like 10 mins |
03:55.29 | sorphin | put it back on |
03:55.30 | kergoth | prpplague: yeah, nothing ever happened with it? |
03:55.33 | sorphin | it charge for an HOUR |
03:55.42 | prpplague | kergoth: well i sent the design to sharp |
03:55.55 | prpplague | kergoth: they kept it for a about 4 weeks |
03:56.01 | prpplague | kergoth: then i get an email |
03:57.18 | prpplague | kergoth: apparentlt sharp has "come up with" a bar code backpack |
03:57.41 | prpplague | kergoth: didn't even change the schematics |
03:57.53 | kergoth | prpplague: eh, thats complete and utter bullshit man |
03:57.54 | prpplague | kergoth: not that i give a shot |
03:57.56 | prpplague | shit |
03:58.19 | prpplague | kergoth: they did a better job on the plastics |
03:58.57 | prpplague | kergoth: funny things is thats the 5 time it 2 years that i've been ripped off |
03:59.33 | kergoth | eh, that sucks. sounds like you need to be protecting your ideas. as much as i hate the abuse of such things |
04:00.36 | prpplague | kergoth: ya well i'm a pisces, i get a kick out of ppl needing to rip my ideas off |
04:00.57 | prpplague | ibot: tcsx-1 |
04:00.58 | | rumour has it, tcsx-1 is http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS8485254374.html |
04:01.01 | sorphin | prpplague: and here i just thought you were insane :P |
04:01.05 | prpplague | kergoth: seen that? |
04:01.09 | prpplague | check this out |
04:02.05 | prpplague | http://www.icoptech.com/products_detail.asp?ProductID=66 |

04:02.29 | prpplague | looks kinda familiar eh? |
04:03.36 | kergoth | prpplague: fucked up man |
04:03.57 | prpplague | kergoth: it gets better |
04:04.12 | prpplague | kergoth: remember our little visit by digi |
04:04.29 | kergoth | right.. |
04:04.33 | prpplague | kergoth: i had designed a print server based |
04:04.50 | prpplague | kergoth: had a prototype made |
04:05.14 | prpplague | http://www.icoptech.com/products_detail.asp?ProductID=78 |
04:05.16 | sorphin | and digi stole it? |
04:06.14 | prpplague | i have more pirated copies sold in tawain than m$ |
04:07.15 | sorphin | heh |
04:12.20 | prpplague | jacques_gone: later dude |
04:12.46 | kergoth | jacques_gone: later. drop me a line when you want to hack at tslib |
04:13.11 | prpplague | kergoth: isn't it funny how we all know exactly what every one specilizes in |
04:13.23 | prpplague | kergoth: whats jacques_gone a guru of? |
04:13.46 | jacques_gone | kergoth: definitely will do |
04:13.58 | kergoth | heh, i dont know what people specialize in, actually |
04:14.02 | kergoth | i know tomw is a hardware guru |
04:14.08 | kergoth | beyond that, /me shrugs |
04:14.21 | sorphin | as is ken |
04:14.25 | kergoth | yeah |
04:14.50 | sorphin | kergoth: heh, you know what i specialize in now |
04:14.56 | sorphin | some hardware stuff too |
04:15.07 | prpplague | kergoth: jacques_gone does toolchains like a mf |
04:15.23 | kergoth | sorphin: yeah, networky bits :) |
04:15.25 | kergoth | prpplague: ah |
04:18.49 | prpplague | kergoth: andersee:bb/uclibc/uclinux kergoth/oz CosmicPenguin/fltk/pixil file/cybiko/ jacques_gone/toolchains mastermnd_/buildroot Morn/handywoman pattieja/thinclients scanline/picogui/gui/ts signal11/sysadmin sorphin/generalinfo |
04:19.12 | kergoth | hehe |
04:19.34 | sorphin | and of course |
04:19.38 | prpplague | ? |
04:19.42 | sorphin | prpplague: resident drunk |
04:19.48 | kergoth | hehe |
04:19.48 | prpplague | lol |
04:19.54 | kergoth | prpplague/pos |
04:20.19 | kergoth | speaking of OZ, i just updated unstable |
04:20.34 | kergoth | but careful, its possbile to make your Z no longer boot due to ipkg being a bitch and me having to hack around its lacks |
04:20.36 | sorphin | kergoth: are you calling dave a piece of shit? |
04:20.37 | prpplague | kergoth: hey now, would you call a woman a slut? no need to insult me either, lol |
04:21.00 | kergoth | now i have to figure out how to correct a completely blown upgrade path |
04:21.55 | kergoth | i've got a problem here |
04:21.59 | kergoth | oz-base used to include inittab |
04:22.02 | kergoth | now sysvinit includes inittab |
04:22.06 | prpplague | "oz we have a problem" |
04:22.14 | kergoth | if the user upgrades oz-base only, they now dont have an inittab |
04:22.15 | kergoth | Bad Thing |
04:22.32 | kergoth | if user upgrades teh works, and it tries to upgrade sysvinit first, it errors because oz-base owns the same file |
04:22.54 | prpplague | kergoth: no, a bad thing is when your 5 year old son is kicking your ass in a q3 deathmatch |
04:23.05 | sorphin | prpplague: loser |
04:23.09 | kergoth | so the question is, how can I setup the upgrade path to ensure the user cant get the system in an inconsistent state |
04:23.23 | kergoth | I made sysvinit Conflict with the versions of oz-base that included inittab |
04:23.30 | kergoth | ipkg is smart enough to fix the upgrade order |
04:23.52 | kergoth | due to the conflict |
04:24.07 | kergoth | but the user can still upgrade just oz-base and not sysvinit, thereby leaving them with a useless system |
04:24.18 | prpplague | ouch |
04:24.31 | kergoth | I hate to make oz-base Dpends on sysvinit |
04:24.35 | kergoth | because technically it doesnt |
04:24.46 | kergoth | you could have a system with another init, or with a kernel that boots sh, not init |
04:24.52 | sorphin | kergoth: well |
04:25.03 | kergoth | hm |
04:25.04 | sorphin | you could make it require/depend on either sysvinit or another init |
04:25.11 | kergoth | yeah, i was thinking about that |
04:25.14 | sorphin | debian does that, has dual depends |
04:25.14 | kergoth | Depends on init |
04:25.17 | sorphin | either one or another |
04:25.19 | kergoth | and make simpleinit and sysvinit both Provide init |
04:25.22 | kergoth | thatd be clean |
04:25.28 | kergoth | actually, even better |
04:25.32 | kergoth | oz-base Depends on oz-base-init |
04:25.40 | kergoth | which is Provided by oz-base-sysvinit |
04:25.46 | kergoth | which includes the base set of init scripts for sysvinit |
04:26.03 | sorphin | nod |
04:26.06 | kergoth | oz-base-sysvinit should Depends on the version of sysvinit that includes inittab |
04:26.33 | kergoth | lets see. ipkg upgrades oz-base, which tries to upgrade oz-base-sysvinit due to deps, but then flips the order due to the conflits |
04:27.04 | kergoth | then upgrades oz-base, now intitab is gone, upgrades oz-base-sysvinit, which upgrades sysvinit, then upgrades itself |
04:27.07 | kergoth | yep, that'll work |
04:27.12 | sorphin | scary |
04:27.23 | kergoth | amazing how much work is invovled in stupid packaging issues, eh? |
04:27.42 | sorphin | yup |
04:28.03 | kergoth | lets see if it tries to upgrade sysvinit first, that fails due to its conflict with old oz-base, adn starts the upgrade path from that direction |
04:28.07 | prpplague | well guys, i'm gonna go pass out on the couch now, later guys |
04:28.09 | kergoth | good good, that should still work |
04:28.11 | kergoth | night prpplague |
04:28.17 | prpplague | night |
04:28.33 | kergoth | sorphin: i have this exact situation 6 times |
04:28.42 | kergoth | oz-base used to include, inittab, modules.conf, ipkg.conf, etc |
04:28.49 | kergoth | now sysvint, modutils, ipkg, respectively |
04:28.54 | kergoth | and others |
04:29.00 | kergoth | talk about a bitch to manager |
04:29.02 | kergoth | manage |
04:29.03 | kergoth | bleh |
04:32.45 | sorphin | kergoth: sucks to be you apparently |
04:33.11 | kergoth | indeed |
