15:33.24 | TomW | maybe even a day to burn a few bushels of leaves, just to set the "mood". |
15:34.12 | GPSFan | TomW: howdy, a bit of snow last night in the mts, and a bit or rain here. |
15:35.08 | TomW | GPSFan: yeah, a little rain, more like a drizzle, last night. This morning it is 60 degress with sunshine all over the place. |
15:35.35 | TomW | my kind of day, I like spring & fall as the best seasons. |
15:36.12 | sjhill | TomW: yeah, but i'll be darned if i remember why |
15:36.37 | TomW | heh, plus, I discovered about $8,000 in projects that I forgot to do invoicing on. I guess that I am having too much fun working, not paying attention to why I do this stuff? |
15:37.33 | GPSFan | TomW: yeah, this is a nice time of year, the deer are out, 42F this morning. Invoicing is important, lest your customers forget who you are... ;>) |
15:38.00 | TomW | GPSFan: lol, they know who I am: the guy who doesn't invoice them! |
15:42.04 | GPSFan | TomW: just found an interesting busybox problem, at the prompt type the letters "yes" rtn. |

Just verified it does the same thing on the latest CVS and 60.5, so it's ben around a while. |
15:47.18 | prpplague | TomW: just had to turn down a job at TI because my psycho ex-wife :( |
15:47.45 | TomW | prpplague: you will make too much money as the divorce is not yet settled? |

16:07.54 | CosmicPenguin | sjhill: lets assume that for the moment |
16:09.11 | sjhill | i worked on an embedded computer for trucks and they used a cell phone with modem and verizon has the best coverage out of all |
16:09.24 | CosmicPenguin | sjhill: how do they connect? |
16:09.30 | CosmicPenguin | to the computer that is |
16:10.16 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: most work just like a rs-232 modem |
16:10.21 | sjhill | *nod* |
16:10.24 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: basically get a ppp connection |
16:11.00 | sjhill | CosmicPenguin: although, verizon also sells their own wireless pcmcia cards that work with their network giving you much faster speeds |
16:11.27 | CosmicPenguin | so you need a serial connection then? |
16:11.34 | sjhill | not for the pcmcia cards |
16:11.46 | sjhill | but for using the modem in your cellphone, yes |
16:12.04 | sjhill | they sell a special modem cable from the cell phone to rs232, usually $70-$100 |

19:49.27 | andersee | Russ: esp where package A want one version, and package B wants a different version |
19:49.35 | andersee | Russ: sigh |
19:49.47 | Russ | andersee: you could setup a buildd that does chroot builds |
19:50.06 | andersee | Russ: I'd like to do that soon |
19:50.06 | Russ | thats what the debian buildd does |
19:50.53 | andersee | Russ: It doesn't build a base system for you though |
19:51.17 | andersee | Russ: that is what I've been building -- enough to hopefully get a buildd running |

19:57.51 | prpplague | sjhill: yea, posted about 20 minutes after timesys |
19:58.27 | TimRiker | andersee: so is there going to be one or more uclibc debian feeds? |
20:00.20 | andersee | TimRiker: that is the theory, though I really don't have the bandwidth to host that for the world |
20:16.42 | CosmicPenguin | andersee: we need to get some nanoxdev and pixdev debian targets in there somewhere |
20:18.47 | andersee | CosmicPenguin: that'd be good |
20:19.12 | CosmicPenguin | I've been looking for somebody to do the debian side of things |
20:35.08 | TimRiker | andersee: you there? |
20:35.17 | andersee | TimRiker: yep |
20:35.54 | TimRiker | the testsuite/ in bb is copyright all to one user. per README. accept patches to add TI tests there and change the README to reflect different copyright? |
20:36.25 | TimRiker | now 2002 Matt Kraai |
20:36.49 | andersee | Still GPL? |
20:36.58 | andersee | I have |
20:37.02 | TimRiker | sure. GPL, LGPL both fine. |
20:37.23 | TimRiker | also tests/* should be integrated with the others? |
20:37.27 | andersee | no problem by me |
20:37.37 | andersee | yes |
20:37.44 | TimRiker | k. Matt still active? should probably ping him first. |
20:37.51 | andersee | The tests/* stuff is older |
20:38.05 | TimRiker | what's the status with your "other" test suites? any public? |
20:38.09 | andersee | TimRiker: he is still contributing to the debian-installer and posts often there |
20:38.14 | TimRiker | bryanw is looking for printf tests etc. |
20:38.15 | andersee | TimRiker: nope |
20:38.43 | andersee | TimRiker: but this is pretty nice: http://ltp.sourceforge.net/ |
20:39.02 | TimRiker | k. bryanw: ping Matt first to confirm and then let's get our tests rolled into the testsuite/ stuff if he approves. |
20:39.21 | TimRiker | andersee: yeah, we are using ltp stuff and contributing back already. |
20:39.30 | andersee | me too |
20:40.01 | TimRiker | k. sounds like a plan. |
20:40.18 | TimRiker | busybox.1 has no tie to the embedded app help, yes? |
20:40.37 | TimRiker | would be nice in the long term to generate/modify the man page based on the config. |
20:43.31 | andersee | BusyBox.1 is autogenerated from the content of busybox_header.pod, busybox_footer.pod, and busybox.pod. autodocifier.pl rips the embedded help text from include/usage.h and includes that |
20:44.12 | andersee | TimRiker: ideally, I'd like to throw away all the .pod stuff and use autogenerated sgml |
20:44.34 | andersee | TimRiker: just hasn't been much of a priority thus far |
20:45.02 | TimRiker | ah. so the man page should change based on config at present? |
20:45.08 | TimRiker | that's something. ;-) |
20:45.26 | TimRiker | sgml, why? to get txt and postscript etc output? |
20:45.46 | kergoth | :) |
20:46.14 | TimRiker | kergoth: a link to the main busybox man page good enough? ;-) |
20:46.39 | kergoth | but but.. thats too easy |

20:48.09 | andersee | I've also had on my todo list for a few years to add an option to make each applet standalone |
20:48.52 | bryanw | andersee: i'll get on the busybox mailing list when i get home |
20:49.58 | CosmicPenguin | andersee: standalone applets would be a nice feature |

21:18.37 | levi | I used to run Linux on a 6mb machine. But that was a loooong time ago. |

21:18.55 | CosmicPenguin | Oh, andersee! Nice to see you here.... :) |
21:19.07 | chouimat | lol |
21:19.08 | levi | I think it was before Linux 1.0 |
21:20.01 | fishhead | well any suggestions ? |
21:20.08 | fishhead | any compiler options etc I should try |
21:20.12 | fishhead | I think I am going to use a gentoo base |

21:21.36 | fishhead | there are some options |
21:21.36 | andersee | CosmicPenguin: that would put us all out of work. Then what would we do with ourseleves all day? |

21:28.14 | fishhead | what's the best way to go with a embedded linux setup for this old laptop |
21:28.23 | fishhead | does ulibc reduce the size a lot ? |
21:28.27 | fishhead | I am talking about ram |
21:28.28 | kergoth | yes |
21:28.31 | fishhead | I don't care about disk space |
21:34.16 | fishhead | I wouldn't even have a remote clue how to replace in ulibc |
21:39.06 | chouimat | kergoth: yup it's fast ... Regina ReXX 3.2: 4m14s on my P3, 48s on the p615 and 45s on my cluster |
21:40.54 | fishhead | I have to hack the keyboard on this damn thing |
21:41.00 | fishhead | probably remove a key connection |
21:41.16 | fishhead | because the dipshits let you switch to the cmos setup in the middle of a os like linux |
21:41.25 | fishhead | which of course goes to real mode and trashes everything |
21:41.53 | fishhead | and the function key is beside the alt key |
21:41.59 | fishhead | making switching consoles dangerous |

22:31.38 | TimRiker | andersee: when do we see uclibc debian platforms on the mirror sites? |
22:32.35 | andersee | TimRiker: when ti sends me a pile of money |
22:32.37 | andersee | :-) |
22:33.17 | andersee | TimRiker: honestly, I'm hoping to get uClibc 0.9.22 out the door today |
22:34.25 | TimRiker | I meant the debian dist you are building. is debian planning to support that any time soon? |
22:35.57 | andersee | TimRiker: well, after I get the release out, I need to rebuild all the .debs vs the released uClibc |
22:36.16 | andersee | TimRiker: and then I can make it available |
22:37.28 | TimRiker | or arm-uclibc would be even better. |
22:37.34 | andersee | TimRiker: the debian-embedded folks (debian-embedded@lists.debian.org) have expressed interest on standardizing on uClibc |
22:37.53 | andersee | TimRiker: So I imagine my efforts would form the beginning of that effort |
22:38.01 | andersee | TimRiker: and I've not yet started on arm |
22:38.27 | andersee | TimRiker: The x86 one took me a couple of weeks to assemble |
22:38.46 | andersee | TimRiker: So there is a fair amount of effort involved in bootstrapping the thing |
22:38.53 | andersee | i.e. for arm |
22:41.09 | andersee | And at least for x86, I bootstrapped the thing natively (since .debs are not very cross-compile friendly) |
22:42.01 | andersee | So using my spare netwinder, and a mostly empty disk, it will still take probably several weeks to get uClibc/Debian on arm bootstrapped |
22:42.44 | andersee | Though having done x86, and worked out the kinks in uClibc, the process itself should be faster |
22:43.14 | andersee | But the long compile times running on my ~200 mhz winder will be a killer |
23:00.07 | fishhead | andersee |
23:00.18 | fishhead | are there any ulibc based x86 distros yet ? |
23:01.50 | andersee | fishhead: yes |
23:02.44 | fishhead | what's the name |
23:02.53 | fishhead | I got a 8 meg ram laptop I want to throw microwindows on |
23:16.30 | prpplague | anyone been able to get ansi blinking text to work under xterm or rxvt? |
23:23.18 | TimRiker | fishhead: best bet is probably to use the uclibc buildroot and add to that. |
