00:09.24T`yea.. pathetic attempts by coders to ask for more peanuts
00:10.36CosmicPenguinLets just say, in order to blackmail your company, you better be the only one who knows the code, and be really bad at documenting things
00:11.22kergothjust make sure you've got an actual other position to take if it falls through

19:04.44kergothnice
19:06.42Croftonmy avg cost is  about that :(
19:07.14CosmicPenguinHeh - been there done that
19:07.59CosmicPenguinThe only person who gets excited about my stock portfolio is my tax guy, becuase he's always telling me to sell and take the capital gains loss
19:08.14hardwirethis should be interesting
19:08.15CroftonThe real question is: should I buy more now
19:08.21hardwiregoing to offer a public pager coop on the island
19:08.28hardwireto get around a lot of really shitty FCC rulings.
19:08.45CroftonNeed to see how the deal is structured
19:08.45hardwireerr..
19:09.08hardwirereally cruddy..
19:09.08hardwire:)
19:09.08CroftonHeh, I get rid of the losers as I need the losses to offset gains
19:09.08prpplaguehardwire: which island is that?
19:09.08hardwireSt. Paul Island, AK
19:09.15hardwirethe fire department needs it more than anybody else.
19:09.28hardwireand using certain pager recievers you can get them in 900mhz.
19:09.39hardwireso I just need a BUC from 433 to 900mhz to make it legit.
19:09.48hardwireits more like 410mhz
19:09.50hardwireoh well..
19:10.09hardwireand basically make a group of pagers all respond to the same freqs for the fire department.
19:10.38CosmicPenguinYay - there is no longer a financial connection between SCO and Canopy....
19:10.44CosmicPenguinWe can stop making fun of levi... :)
19:11.13prpplaguehardwire: hehe, only one major road from one side of the island to another?
19:11.27prpplaguehardwire: whats the population there?
19:11.57hardwireprpplague: there are TWO!
19:11.57hardwire:)

19:13.01CosmicPenguin<PROTECTED>
19:13.02CosmicPenguinBah
19:13.07hardwireprpplague: where?
19:13.10CosmicPenguinif you can't fit your distro into 630MB, then you suck
19:13.22hardwireheh
19:14.02prpplaguehardwire: barbados - http://www.worldatlas.com/webimage/countrys/namerica/caribb/bb.htm
19:14.31CosmicPenguinprpplague: little rule about islands - if 9 out of 10 people on the street have heard of it, it can't be called small
19:16.08prpplagueCosmicPenguin: hehe, if 9 out of 10 people on the street can't point out north american on the map, you must be in america
19:16.25CosmicPenguinheh
19:16.35CroftonROFL
19:16.39hardwirecan anyboxdy ping mail.bogomip.com
19:16.44CosmicPenguinYeah, well - knowing about Barbardos and knowing where Barbados is are two completely different things
19:22.16anderseeCosmicPenguin: btw, these alchemy boards are great
19:22.28anderseeCosmicPenguin: they make excellent test boards
19:22.33CosmicPenguinandersee: glad you like it - what is that, the 1500?
19:23.00anderseeCosmicPenguin: and unexpectedly they swing both ways.  So I can test both mips and mipsel.
19:23.07CosmicPenguinNiceness
19:23.15anderseeCosmicPenguin: yeah, they sent a 1500 and an 1100
19:23.33CosmicPenguinCool beans
19:23.56CosmicPenguinI'm excited for the 1200 development kits
19:23.59anderseeI have them setup doing a tftp boot on the kernel, and nfs root for user space
19:24.10anderseemakes it really quick to check things
19:24.27CroftonWhat is a 1200 devel kit?
19:24.51CosmicPenguinhttp://www.amd.com/us-en/ConnectivitySolutions/ProductInformation/0,,50_2330_6625_12409%5E12410,00.html
19:25.02anderseei.e. turns out gdb can debug uclibc-mipsel, but can't debug uclibc-mips....
19:25.11anderseeworking on fixing that
19:25.11Croftonthanks
19:25.34kergothandersee: heh, recent oe uclibc build.. sqlite3 segfaults.. python segfaults.. :\  going to investigate some today
19:25.48anderseekergoth: hmmm
19:26.14prpplagueandersee: which bootloader?
19:26.35anderseekergoth: which arch?  If built from yesterday's uclibc snapshot, most archs were broken.
19:26.43prpplaguekergoth: d00d, are you having the same problem with sqlite3?
19:26.49kergothandersee: i686 (using colinux), uclibc 0.9.27
19:27.02kergothhavent tried other archs yet.
19:27.28prpplaguekergoth: i'm getting segfaults with sqlite3 with uclibc on arm
19:27.39kergothprpplague: immediately on execution?
19:27.39anderseeprpplague: for the alchemy boards I'm using the builtin "YAMON ROM Monitor, Revision 02.17DB1500"
19:27.39prpplaguekergoth: not with oe build though
19:28.13prpplaguekergoth: first time the app calls a function from sqlite lib
19:28.15anderseekergoth: x86 was broken with yesterdays uclibc snapshot...
19:28.28kergothand totally random side note, ew, genext2fs does an fread() of the entire file for each file you add to the fs.
19:28.55kergothandersee: it was broken up until yesterday? or was broken recently, and then fixed?  again, this is the last release, not a snap, that i'm testing with
19:28.59prpplagueandersee: ahh
19:29.24kergothprpplague: ah.  i havent tested anything other than the sqlite3 interpreter itself
19:29.28prpplagueandersee: i've been working on adding cs8900 8-bit support into our bootloader, and was just curious
19:29.32anderseekergoth: yesterday jocke checked in some changes to ldso that broken every arch but ppc
19:29.44kergothright, not using snaps
19:29.49anderseekergoth: by late last night we had mips and x86 working again
19:30.17anderseekergoth: hmm.  0.9.27?
19:30.20kergothyep
19:30.52anderseeany chance I could get an ssh connect to debug it?
19:31.07CosmicPenguinkergoth: I do believe its time to shake the dust off of bootmenu and make it pratical
19:31.13kergothnot until i get home.. i forgot to start colinux before i came to work
19:31.17kergothshould really set it up as a service
19:31.34kergothCosmicPenguin: sounds good to me
19:31.35anderseebuilding oe to debug uclibc problems seems a good way for me to burn several days...  :(
19:31.49CosmicPenguinwhich is ironic
19:32.00anderseecolinux runs on win xp, right?
19:32.02CosmicPenguinbecause when you build OE with uclibc, it cuts about 40 minutes off the total time
19:32.03kergothbootstrap-image almost never fails
19:32.11kergothandersee: yeah
19:32.18kergothworks really nice, i like it alot
19:33.16Croftonwhat does colinux do?
19:33.27anderseewith some C# thrown in for extra fun
19:34.02kergothCrofton: its a linux kernel that runs natively in windows.
19:34.11kergothCrofton: much faster than emulation w/ vmware
19:34.16kergothCrofton: its kinda like UML, but for windows.
19:34.23prpplagueandersee: be sure and don't poke your eye out with that "sharp" C
19:34.28CroftonHeh, but you have to boot windoze?
19:34.31kergoth~fishslap prpplague
19:34.33ibotACTION slaps prpplague up side the head with a wet fish.
19:34.41prpplaguehehe
19:34.45kergothCrofton: heh, i use it on machines that have to run windows. like my work laptop
19:34.55CroftonInteresting point
19:34.56kergothCrofton: and my home workstation that runs windows for gaming reasons
19:35.01CroftonCan you load any distro?
19:35.03kergothgives you a sane development env
19:35.08kergothany distro you have a disk image of
19:35.13kergoththey have deiban and gentoo
19:35.21kergothi use oe in it myself, lets me debug native development in an oe rootfs
19:35.42Croftonheh
19:35.57CroftonIt would be useful to load FC on some guys widders machiens here
19:36.04anderseemuch nicer than trying to use cygwin i expect
19:36.45CroftonAdd another thing to the list of interesting ideas
19:36.58CroftonMaybe I will see if our IT guy can work out details ...
19:37.17anderseecygwin is great for some things (vim is better than then the visual studio editor for example).  But sucks for building stuff.
19:37.53CroftonMAX, you there?

19:40.01kergothCosmicPenguin: get an svn repo up.

19:41.42hardwireits kinda neat.
19:41.50kergothCosmicPenguin: you notice there's been some discussion about console in userspace on linux-fbdev-devel?  people arguing in both ways.  a number of folks want to move the real console stuff into userspace, and leave fb console for kernel debugging only.. early messages.  which sounds really nice
19:41.52hardwireblocked CID numbers get screamed at

19:43.36anderseeundoubtedly I'm doing something very wrong to make oe not like me.

19:43.53anderseeheheh
19:44.00hardwireCosmicPenguin: heh
19:44.06hardwireI am about to buy 35 cisco ip phones
19:44.10hardwireand deploy them at work
19:44.14anderseeanyway, get me all setup and I'll get the uclibc problems fixed
19:44.22hardwireexcept I need to find the safest way to do this in parallel with our existing system
19:44.27hardwiresince we pass a shitload of calls a day
19:44.43hardwireand downtime for even a day would bring unknown sizes of devestation to the world as I know it
19:44.53anderseehardwire: ugh.  better to buy 18 Sipura SPA-2000s and use your existing phones
19:45.05hardwireI have 5 spa-3000's
19:45.06CosmicPenguinmmmm.....
19:45.07kergothandersee: alright, i'll give you a local.conf to use.  you just get the current oe tree and bb, and set BBPATH and fire off the build.
19:45.09hardwireand no.. its not
19:45.13hardwirebecause those don't work with digital phones
19:45.29hardwirewe have over 30 people with NEC Dterm E series phones on our NEC pbx here at the office
19:46.00hardwireandersee: nothing would work on the phone even if it could interface via pots
19:46.17hardwireyeh
19:46.19hardwireI have one at home
19:46.20hardwireerr
19:46.23hardwirethe spa-3000
19:46.32hardwireall incoming PSTN goes to *
19:46.38hardwire* then analyses CID
19:46.48hardwireand chooses to pass to the FXS and one SIP phone
19:46.57hardwirethats about it
19:47.01hardwirebut.. outgoing is fun
19:47.07hardwireall LD through teliax
19:47.22hardwireand local via the PSTN.. or through teliax if the PSTN is busy.
19:47.24anderseethe 3000 is nice since you can connect your line up to asterisk, but have it pass through on power failure
19:47.36hardwireyeh..
19:47.39hardwireI have that set up

22:39.08CosmicPenguinOk then, for the mean time, no static plugins
22:39.36kergothhehe
22:39.38CosmicPenguinActually, screw that
22:39.43CosmicPenguin<PROTECTED>
22:39.56CosmicPenguinThe conditionals are ugly though
22:46.22*** mode/#elinux [+v file] by ChanServ
22:55.41CosmicPenguinkergoth: ok, so I can see how you make plugins, pretty eaasy
22:55.53CosmicPenguinkergoth: but what if I wanted to build in a plugin statically instead of making a dynamic one
22:56.14CosmicPenguinkergoth: and to make it more interesting, there are certain plugins, like ncurses that have library dependancies
22:56.55kergothyou'd want to keep a global array thats a list of the plugin init functions, and have your plugin load code use that as well as load .so's, or something.. adjusting the Makefile.am per the conditionals shouldnt be too difficult
22:57.05kergothfor that, you'd want per-plugin CFLAGS/LIBS
22:57.21kergothwhich go either to the plugin .so or the main link, depending on those conditioanls
22:57.40CosmicPenguinOk....
22:57.49kergothheh, it might be good to store example code of how to do that somehwere
22:57.51kergothperhaps in libfoo
22:59.31kergothtslib is a decent example of ordinary plugins. no static stuff there though
22:59.36kergothheh
23:03.32CosmicPenguinHmm... I'll have to do conditionals by plugin
23:04.02kergothyou could let the user do something like --enable-plugins=plugin1,plugin2 --enable-plugins-static=plugin3,plugin4
23:04.19CosmicPenguinactually, there's only one static
23:04.25CosmicPenguinfor now
23:04.35kergothwell, depends on how flexible you want it
23:07.15CosmicPenguinhmm... I could always do the grocking in the configure too
23:07.28CosmicPenguinfor static, just make sure the right stuff is in @LIBS@
23:07.48kergothconsider something like database backends.  say you have sqlite, sqlite3, and mysql.  you might want that runtime, you might want, instead, to just compile one in monolithically and not build the others at all.  or..
23:07.56file[laptop]mmm sql
23:08.26kergoth:)
23:08.48kergothactually, i might write some convenience m4/autoconf macros for this stuff
23:08.51kergothheh
23:10.26CosmicPenguinhmmm....
23:11.02CosmicPenguindoes += work in automake?
23:11.11kergothyeah
23:19.50CosmicPenguinI'm comfortable with autoconf, but automake remains a mystery to me

23:57.11kergothheh!
23:57.24CosmicPenguinWow - check you out
23:57.48CosmicPenguinSo then you do a K_PLUGINSET_ADD(one, $withval) ?
23:57.49kergothnow i just need to add the bits to _ADD to setup the conditionals if its enabled..
23:58.11kergothnah, add adds the plugin to the set, and thereby makes it a valid option for the --enable-x-plugins
23:58.17kergothand sets up the things if its enabled
23:58.23kergothso you'd do _ADD whether the user specified it or not
23:58.31kergothteh macros set up the AC_ARG_ENABLE stuff for you
23:58.34kergothdont have to do any of that
23:58.37CosmicPenguinOh...
23:58.41kergoth:)
23:58.43CosmicPenguinso it would be individual --enable-foo, --enable-bar
23:58.48kergothif you wanted
23:58.53kergothright now its one --enable per "set" of plugins
23:58.56kergothwhich is an arbitrary grouping
23:59.01CosmicPenguinok
23:59.02kergothsay, you had plugins for a db backend
23:59.04CosmicPenguinhow about --with-plugins=<>
23:59.05kergoththen plugins for something else too
23:59.06CosmicPenguinlike alsa
23:59.11kergothyeah, i'm doing that next
23:59.14kergothmaking the "set" optional
23:59.16kergothso you'd do..
23:59.19kergothK_PLUGINSET_INIT
23:59.23kergothK_PLUGINSET_ADD(plugin1)
