14:14.04nealmerlin1991: Thanks.
14:14.10nealmerlin1991: I've reassigned the bug.
14:14.28nealWhat's the repository I should use to test the upcoming stable version?
14:16.08merlin1991http://87.106.163.159/maemo/community/community-fremantle.install (runs on my server)
14:16.28nealI'll give it a try soon, thanks
14:16.38Macerno
14:17.01merlin1991bear in mind that you shouldn't come from testing, or should have modified hildon-desktop installed
14:17.16nealmerlin1991: I was going to come from PR1.3, fresh install
14:17.22nealmerlin1991: I hope that's okay
14:17.28nealmerlin1991: I don't want to "break" anything :)
14:17.54merlin1991that's fine, you can also install from pr1.3.1 :)

16:56.22DocScrutinizer.
16:57.28DocScrutinizerhow about http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=72789, integrate those into CSSU as they don't exactly need a new kernel? it's just *.ko to *fix an issue with stock/power kernel*
16:58.09nealDocScrutinizer: Apparently the fix is already in the latest power kernel.
16:58.18DocScrutinizeraaah, ok then
16:59.11nealDistributing the fix for the stock kernel would be good
16:59.29nealif we distribute the binary, we need to provide the source, however.
17:00.02merlin1991tbh I don't think it's that easy
17:00.18merlin1991we can't overwrite a file from another package with our package

17:00.31nealdpkg-divert?
17:00.36merlin1991we'd have to reprovide the full kernel-modules pacakge
17:00.44merlin1991(I think so at least)
17:00.55nealI think dpkg-divert would do the trick.
17:03.22Macerso how is the official stable release going?
17:04.04merlin1991waiting for X-Fade to prepare the repo and waiting for Mag to release t-17
17:04.07Macerj.mp?
17:04.21merlin1991and also waiting a few days before calling it really stable :)
17:04.22Macerah so it will be on maemo.org?
17:04.25merlin1991yes
17:04.32Macerok. awesome
17:04.36merlin1991the current location is just a testsetup on my server
17:04.44Macerwho runs maemo.org?
17:05.02Macerdoes nokia still run it?
17:05.30merlin1991yes it's still run by nokia

17:20.53Macerfor how long? eventually the penny pinchers will turn the servers off
17:20.53merlin1991MohammadAG: I'll repeat Doc, where's our long awaited testing release ;)
17:22.41Macerugh
17:22.51Macerstupid floods in taiwan
17:23.07Maceri have a 4 bay synology that needs 4 3 TB hard drives
17:23.17Macerand 3TB hard drives are  250 :(
17:23.30Macerthey were 150 last mnth
17:28.20DocScrutinizerdang
17:29.07DocScrutinizeridly wonders if the supermarket next to him still offers the announced 1TB-USB drives for 49€
17:30.21DocScrutinizerre *.ko, we could do nasty and simply force the change in via postinst mv
17:30.55merlin1991DocScrutinizer: and act like the fsckd modified-hildon-desktop deb?
17:31.12DocScrutinizerwe're "entitled" to do this as we deliver "official" patches to stock system
17:31.45merlin1991in that case that patch should go straight into kernel-modules
17:32.08DocScrutinizermodulo we're not shipping kernel.modules
17:32.10merlin1991since official patch to a stock package is NOT another package that ships one file of the original package
17:32.12DocScrutinizeras a pkg
17:32.52DocScrutinizeras metioned before(?) management of *.ko is awkward in linux
17:33.15merlin1991huh?
17:33.55DocScrutinizerit's a PITA regarding packaging etc
17:34.18DocScrutinizerkinda similar to Nokia's MP
17:35.01DocScrutinizeras kernel comes with a bunch of *.ko and there's no sane way to replace any of those, or just add an additional one
17:35.12merlin1991imo if we ship it we should ship it over http://maemo.org/packages/view/kernel-modules/
17:35.17merlin1991and that is a sane way
17:36.06DocScrutinizerI'm no packaging wizzard, but I've seen tedious discussions about those cam-drivers
17:36.32DocScrutinizeras well as about kernel-modules-addon
17:36.32merlin1991well their problem is they can't replace the mp bound modules package
17:36.46merlin1991but as we are cssu we ofc can do that
17:36.48DocScrutinizerso can't we
17:36.58merlin1991why can't we? oO?
17:37.23DocScrutinizerhmm, only if we break up the jernel-"MP" and ship the whole shit by ourselves from now on
17:38.11DocScrutinizerwhich of course we *could* do, but gets nasty to maintain that for stock plus all the different custom kernels anyway
17:39.08DocScrutinizerbut, as mentioned above: I Aint No Packaging Wizard
17:39.58DocScrutinizerjust throwing in my idea of "maybe it would be nice if we could provide a 'fix' for this as well..."
17:40.58DocScrutinizerhonestly, knowing of all the tedious discussions spawning from that topic in the past, I probably should have kept my mouth shut
17:41.28merlin1991from a packaging point of view I see no problem at all
17:41.56merlin1991if there is a kernel-mp we could make that depend on our new modules package and the rest is just done
17:42.22merlin1991if not even better, we just ship the dammned modules pkg and are happy
17:42.50Sicelohi
17:43.00merlin1991maintaining for other kernels is not our problem since we patch the stock kerenel, other kernels have to incoroprate the fix themselves
17:43.03merlin1991hey Sicelo
17:43.19Sicelo:)
17:43.34merlin1991sorry about forgetting to mention that dsmetool -b reboots
17:45.08DocScrutinizermerlin1991: we want to keep CSSU compatible to other kernels though
17:45.39Sicelono problem ;)
17:45.52Sicelo+1 DocScrutinizer
17:45.53merlin1991DocScrutinizer: we wouldn't
17:46.07merlin1991we would only if we depend on the kernel-flasher too
17:46.10merlin1991wich whould flash the stock kernel
17:46.16merlin1991wich ofc would be bad
17:46.20DocScrutinizermerlin1991: was quite a bummer to read "do not install PK on CSSU systems, or CSSU on PK systems, as that will result in <whatever major borkage>"

17:47.17DocScrutinizerwhen we did an epic fail on that
17:47.28merlin1991doesn't remember that
17:47.29DocScrutinizerwas=would be
17:47.36merlin1991ah :D
17:48.04DocScrutinizerI suck on English sometimes
17:48.17merlin1991the only thing we could do to other kernels is overwrite them with an update
17:48.44DocScrutinizerinstalling that fixed *.ko to PK will break it, no?
17:48.48merlin1991no not at all
17:48.54Sicelocssu not supporting other kernels would reduce number of users
17:49.05merlin1991installing that fixed *.ko would simply install that fixed *.ko
17:49.28DocScrutinizerwhich in turn causes PK to PANIC/OOPS
17:49.50merlin1991why?
17:50.00merlin1991doesn't pk use a different /lib/modules folder?
17:50.06DocScrutinizercause the *.ko vermagic/whatever doesn't match

17:53.28DocScrutinizerjust saying
17:53.29merlin1991or rather what kind of idiot package maintainer would create such a fsckd package?
