15:33.24TomWmaybe even a day to burn a few bushels of leaves, just to set the "mood".
15:34.12GPSFanTomW: howdy, a bit of snow last night in the mts, and a bit or rain here.
15:35.08TomWGPSFan: yeah, a little rain, more like a drizzle, last night.  This morning it is 60 degress with sunshine all over the place.
15:35.35TomWmy kind of day, I like spring & fall as the best seasons.
15:36.12sjhillTomW: yeah, but i'll be darned if i remember why
15:36.37TomWheh, 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?
15:37.33GPSFanTomW: 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... ;>)
15:38.00TomWGPSFan: lol, they know who I am: the guy who doesn't invoice them!  
15:42.04GPSFanTomW: 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.
15:47.18prpplagueTomW: just had to turn down a job at TI because my psycho ex-wife :(
15:47.45TomWprpplague: you will make too much money as the divorce is not yet settled?

16:07.54CosmicPenguinsjhill: lets assume that for the moment
16:09.11sjhilli worked on an embedded computer for trucks and they used a cell phone with modem and verizon has the best coverage out of all
16:09.24CosmicPenguinsjhill: how do they connect?
16:09.30CosmicPenguinto the computer that is
16:10.16prpplagueCosmicPenguin: most work just like a rs-232 modem
16:10.21sjhill*nod*
16:10.24prpplagueCosmicPenguin: basically get a ppp connection
16:11.00sjhillCosmicPenguin: although, verizon also sells their own wireless pcmcia cards that work with their network giving you much faster speeds
16:11.27CosmicPenguinso you need a serial connection then?
16:11.34sjhillnot for the pcmcia cards
16:11.46sjhillbut for using the modem in your cellphone, yes
16:12.04sjhillthey sell a special modem cable from the cell phone to rs232, usually $70-$100

20:37.51anderseeThe tests/* stuff is older
20:38.05TimRikerwhat's the status with your "other" test suites? any public?
20:38.09anderseeTimRiker: he is still contributing to the debian-installer and posts often there
20:38.14TimRikerbryanw is looking for printf tests etc.
20:38.15anderseeTimRiker: nope
20:38.43anderseeTimRiker: but this is pretty nice: http://ltp.sourceforge.net/
20:39.02TimRikerk. bryanw: ping Matt first to confirm and then let's get our tests rolled into the testsuite/ stuff if he approves.
20:39.21TimRikerandersee: yeah, we are using ltp stuff and contributing back already.
20:39.30anderseeme too
20:40.01TimRikerk. sounds like a plan.
20:40.18TimRikerbusybox.1 has no tie to the embedded app help, yes?
20:40.37TimRikerwould be nice in the long term to generate/modify the man page based on the config.
20:43.31anderseeBusyBox.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
20:44.12anderseeTimRiker: ideally, I'd like to throw away all the .pod stuff and use autogenerated sgml
20:44.34anderseeTimRiker: just hasn't been much of a priority thus far
20:45.02TimRikerah. so the man page should change based on config at present?
20:45.08TimRikerthat's something. ;-)
20:45.26TimRikersgml, why? to get txt and postscript etc output?
20:45.46kergoth:)
20:46.14TimRikerkergoth: a link to the main busybox man page good enough? ;-)
20:46.39kergothbut but.. thats too easy
20:46.41kergoth:P)
20:46.41kergother
20:46.42kergoth:)
20:47.38anderseekergoth: heh
20:48.09anderseeI've also had on my todo list for a few years to add an option to make each applet standalone
20:48.52bryanwandersee: i'll get on the busybox mailing list when i get home
20:49.58CosmicPenguinandersee: standalone applets would be a nice feature
20:50.39anderseeThe basic idea gcc -Dfoo_main=main

21:05.38prpplaguesjhill: any knowledge of a linux/uclinux based print server that timesys might have worked on?
21:16.07fishheadwow
21:16.12fishheadredhat linux is dead
21:16.30CosmicPenguin*free* redhat linux is dead
21:16.53fishheadyeah I know
21:17.05CosmicPenguinRedhat linux is still available
21:17.08CosmicPenguinJust not free
21:17.09fishheadso can anyone give me any tips for linux on a 8 meg of ram system
21:17.18prpplaguejeeze i must have scared sjhill off
21:17.26fishheadways to shrink ram usage
21:17.34fishheadI am going to run microwindows
21:17.37kergothdont run bloated shit
21:18.04fishheadwhat is bloated
21:18.13kergothopenoffice.org
21:18.15kergoth:)
21:18.17CosmicPenguinMozilla
21:18.23fishheadoh
21:18.24fishheadyeah
21:18.37leviI used to run Linux on a 6mb machine.  But that was a loooong time ago.
21:18.43CosmicPenguinAnd busybox - that stuff is crap!  :D
21:18.55CosmicPenguinOh, andersee!  Nice to see you here.... :)
21:19.07chouimatlol
21:19.08leviI think it was before Linux 1.0
21:20.01fishheadwell any suggestions ?
21:20.08fishheadany compiler options etc I should try
21:20.12fishheadI think I am going to use a gentoo base
21:20.21kergothahaha
21:20.26CosmicPenguin--size=reallyreallysmall
21:21.03CosmicPenguinWouldn't that be a nice option?
21:21.36fishheadthere are some options
21:21.36anderseeCosmicPenguin: that would put us all out of work.  Then what would we do with ourseleves all day?
21:21.41fishheadspeed vs size
21:21.45CosmicPenguinandersee: true
21:21.49andersee:-)
21:23.54fishheadcosmic must be a canuck
21:24.39CosmicPenguinSo no sane American would enjoy snow?
21:24.51fishheadcosmic I a sick of snow
21:25.11CosmicPenguinAnd, for a variety of reasons, I am glad tht I am not you
21:25.27fishheadwell I kissed a telephone pole a yr ago
21:25.35fishheadso I don't particularry like snow anymore
21:25.42kergothheh, smart mvoe
21:25.57fishheaduhh dude I hit a ice patch
21:26.06chouimatkergoth: so how is the p615?
21:26.15kergothchouimat: quick :)
21:26.55chouimatkergoth: ok I didn't try anything on it yet ...
21:28.03fishheadseriously guys
21:28.14fishheadwhat's the best way to go with a embedded linux setup for this old laptop
21:28.23fishheaddoes ulibc reduce the size a lot ?
21:28.27fishheadI am talking about ram
21:28.28kergothyes
21:28.31fishheadI don't care about disk space
21:34.16fishheadI wouldn't even have a remote clue how to replace in ulibc
21:39.06chouimatkergoth: yup it's fast ... Regina ReXX 3.2: 4m14s on my P3, 48s on the p615 and 45s on my cluster
21:40.54fishheadI have to hack the keyboard on this damn thing
21:41.00fishheadprobably remove a key connection
21:41.16fishheadbecause the dipshits let you switch to the cmos setup in the middle of a os like linux
21:41.25fishheadwhich of course goes to real mode and trashes everything
21:41.53fishheadand the function key is beside the alt key
21:41.59fishheadmaking switching consoles dangerous

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