| 07:58.20 | ka6sox | evening |
| 07:59.42 | itu | morning here |
| 08:01.45 | ka6sox | the official answer should be: |
| 08:01.48 | ka6sox | ~ugt |
| 08:01.48 | infobot | it has been said that ugt is Universal Greeting Time. Created in #mipslinux, it is a rule that states that whenever somebody enters an IRC channel it is always morning, and it is always late when the person leaves. The local time of any other people in the channel, including the greeter, is irrelevant. http://www.total-knowledge.com/~ilya/mips/ugt.html |
| 08:03.51 | ka6sox | (at least thats what I was taught about 6yrs ago when I started this project) |
| 08:04.39 | ka6sox | s/started/started with/ |
| 08:05.23 | ka6sox | whats happening? |
| 08:13.03 | itu | try to put a linux in a NSLU2 |
| 08:13.34 | ka6sox | ah, what would you like to do with it? |
| 08:13.57 | itu | at the moment HardDisk_WP helps me fighting against the debian installer |
| 08:14.36 | HardDisk_WP | trying to convince the installer for debian 5 that debian stable is not debian 6 -.- |
| 08:14.48 | itu | nothing special to do , no webserver |
| 08:14.58 | HardDisk_WP | whoever created that debian installer set it to install "stable", not "lenny" -.- |
| 08:17.38 | HardDisk_WP | so, now I'm setting up a debian 5 mirror on my server... |
| 08:19.55 | ka6sox | what guide are you following? |
| 08:22.00 | itu | we started with that http://rechenkarussell.blogspot.de/2010/02/nslu2-mit-debian-lenny.html |
| 08:22.42 | HardDisk_WP | problem is, there's no debian6 nslu installer, at least there's none mentioned on the wiki |
| 08:22.45 | ka6sox | not one I'm familiar with |
| 08:22.56 | ka6sox | which wiki? |
| 08:25.43 | ka6sox | (sorry for the questions but just trying to make sure I'm following along) |
| 08:26.17 | HardDisk_WP | http://www.slug-firmware.net/d-dls.php and http://www.cyrius.com/debian/nslu2/ |
| 08:26.27 | HardDisk_WP | both saying that there's no debian 6 installer |
| 08:27.20 | ka6sox | true |
| 08:27.27 | ka6sox | one wasn't made |
| 08:27.47 | ka6sox | (at least I didn't see one from tbm for that) |
| 08:31.44 | itu | tbm=? |
| 08:33.52 | HardDisk_WP | so, now created a fake apt mirror with a symlink from stable to lenny, maybe that works. |
| 08:34.04 | HardDisk_WP | if it does, I'll make the server public so others can use it |
| 08:37.53 | HardDisk_WP | Crap, Debian files are all signed -.- |
| 08:39.09 | HardDisk_WP | Release file says Suite: oldstable |
| 08:47.18 | ka6sox | you probably will have to mod the installer to use "oldstable" :( |
| 08:51.06 | HardDisk_WP | or try to make it use a faked signature. |
| 08:56.12 | ka6sox | you can tell the installer to ignore the sigs iirc(but you will have to hack it) |
| 08:57.35 | HardDisk_WP | and for that I'd have to hack the firmware file |
| 08:57.58 | ka6sox | ewwww...been a long time since I installedit |
| 08:58.06 | ka6sox | mostly I worked with SlugOS |
| 08:58.32 | ka6sox | tried to build BE arm debian...that was a disaster with the restrictions. |
| 08:58.48 | HardDisk_WP | crosscompiling sucks huge |
| 08:59.49 | ka6sox | trying to build libboost on a 32MB NATIVE machine sucks worse. |
| 09:01.13 | HardDisk_WP | you did NOT try to use the NSLU2 as a buildserver?! |
| 09:02.42 | ka6sox | we did |
| 09:02.49 | ka6sox | it SUCKED |
| 09:03.03 | ka6sox | debian didn't believe in cross-compiling...native only |
| 09:03.08 | ka6sox | so it was a failure |
| 09:03.21 | HardDisk_WP | fuck, just about how much of no-money did you have so that you were forced to use a NSLU2 as buildd? :D |
| 09:03.36 | ka6sox | (plus wanna-build was a sucky piece of unmaintained stuffa) |
| 09:03.53 | HardDisk_WP | actually the debian buildd DOES support crosscompiling, but at my old company it took the guy two weeks to get the fucker running |
| 09:03.55 | ka6sox | it was that or a $3000 board. |
| 09:04.12 | HardDisk_WP | Ouch, okay that's quite something:D |
| 09:04.36 | ka6sox | buildd does support it NOW...but Debian had a POLICY of native building at the time. |
| 09:04.42 | ka6sox | which is why PPC was dropped |
| 09:04.50 | ka6sox | couldnt' keep up |

| 09:05.06 | HardDisk_WP | lol I can imagine, but how on earth did debian build the bigger packages? |
| 09:05.09 | ka6sox | (and 68k too... |
| 09:05.17 | HardDisk_WP | The build process alone must have taken a year :D |
| 09:05.18 | ka6sox | Swap like HELL. |
| 09:05.51 | ka6sox | I dreaded cc1plus |
| 09:06.05 | ka6sox | and linking that crud was AWFUL.... |
| 09:29.20 | HardDisk_WP | ka6sox, if anyone ever runs into that problem again - he/she should use custom apt server snapshot.debian.org and directory /archive/debian/20110201T033133Z/ |
| 09:29.58 | ka6sox | HardDisk_WP, good to know |
| 09:30.31 | HardDisk_WP | It's quite a fast server o_O |
| 09:30.46 | HardDisk_WP | I'm mirroring it too, 18GB just for main on armel |
