| 20:19.07 | fcooper | ping zenlinux |
| 20:27.38 | zenlinux | fcooper, hello |
| 20:29.58 | fcooper | zenlinux: Are you the maintainer for oe-core or meta-oe? |
| 20:30.19 | zenlinux | fcooper, just for the denzil branch |
| 20:30.23 | zenlinux | of oe-core |
| 20:31.45 | zenlinux | Richard Purdie (RP_) is effectively the oe-core master maintainer, and I'm not sure who is the meta-oe maintainer |
| 20:32.03 | fcooper | k. So psplash has 3 patches that are in the master branch but not in the denzil branch. 2 of the patches simply bump psplash versions and are minor tweaks which I would like pulled in to the denzil branch. The last patch does alot more and might end up breaking other things. |
| 20:33.18 | zenlinux | fcooper, since denzil is a released version of oe-core, we don't do recipe version bumps unless there is an important bugfix or security issue that needs to be addressed. |
| 20:33.57 | zenlinux | If either of those situations is true, I'd like to know more. |
| 20:35.02 | fcooper | zenlinux: 1 patch fixes seg fault issue and the other patch I want simply moves some hardcoded values into defines in an external header file. These changes were actually made in the psplash repo which means in oe core we just need to update to the latest version of psplash. |
| 20:35.54 | zenlinux | fcooper, can you point me to the segfault patch? |
| 20:36.14 | fcooper | http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/psplash/commit/ |
| 20:38.26 | zenlinux | fcooper, looks like a low-risk patch, I will file a bug against denzil and put that on my todo list |
| 20:38.42 | zenlinux | how about the defines patch? |
| 20:38.47 | fcooper | zenlinux: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/psplash/commit/?id=84764337a584002a92940323d374b0e417c573a6 |
| 20:40.07 | zenlinux | fcooper, regarding that color defines patch, would that change the behavior users would have to follow when doing a basic operation with psplash, e.g, creating a new logo to use with it? |
| 20:42.39 | fcooper | zenlinux, The only change is if someone wants to change the background color or text color and if they previously did a patch to psplash.c to modify those changes. Now they would have to make a patch against psplash-colors.h or replace the file. |
| 20:44.07 | fcooper | zenlinux, if during the process of creating a new logo they also tweaked color information then yes they would have to do a small tweak to get it to work. |
| 20:44.19 | zenlinux | fcooper, that might be a bit of a grey area - I could see the decision going either way. Would you mind starting a discussion thread about whether that's appropriate for denzil on the oe-core ML? |
| 20:45.11 | zenlinux | While I'm the "maintainer" for denzil there are more senior folks in the project who would still have veto power over my opinions if I had to give you a straight yes/no answer on that one. |
| 20:45.21 | zenlinux | The segfault patch, on the other hand, is pretty likely to make it in |
| 20:46.03 | *** join/#oe dv_ (~quassel@chello080108009040.14.11.vie.surfer.at) |
| 20:46.16 | fcooper | zenlinux: No problem I will post it on the ML. So if you took the segfault patch would you only take the patch and apply it onto of the version of psplash you have right now or would you bump the version to the version of psplash that includes the patch? |
| 20:47.47 | zenlinux | fcooper, I would try to backport it to the psplash versino we're using now - it looks like this should be pretty straightforward to do |
| 20:48.20 | zenlinux | you could also ask in your oe-core ML thread discussion whether we could consider making an exception and bumping the entire version of psplash as well |
| 20:48.35 | zenlinux | but I'll say it's something we're generally reluctant to do |
| 20:50.50 | fcooper | zenlinux: My biggest reasoning is that there was a patch in oe-classic that does almost the exact same thing as this defines patch. And I didn't want to port this patch and put it in my layer which uses the denzil branch of oe-core if a simply version bump would avoid it. But I will start an discussion on the mailing list about it. thx |
| 20:50.50 | zenlinux | fcooper, here's the segfault bug just filed: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2903 |

| 22:17.42 | snoutos | how can i build an embedded linux with custom user space for embedded devices that looks like android or meego and provide animation and graphics like android like openGL ...etc into my embedded linux [01:14] <snouto> is that possible ? [01:14] <snouto> what are the tools required or knowledge for that part ? [01:15] <roxfan> just use android if you want android? [01:16] <snouto> how can i customize android to provide a new user space |
| 22:17.56 | snoutos | how can i build an embedded linux with custom user space for embedded devices that looks like android or meego and provide animation and graphics like android like openGL ...etc into my embedded linux |
| 22:22.37 | AdityaGandhi | snoutos, think of Qt embedded |
| 22:22.58 | snoutos | ok how can i create a custom linux from scratch with QT embedded |
| 22:23.11 | AdityaGandhi | Yocto project for crownbay has a qt demo image, only rootfs, framebuffer and opengl I guess |
| 22:23.23 | AdityaGandhi | yocto project surely can help, |
| 22:23.41 | AdityaGandhi | Start with getting started, use hob to build a qemu image |
| 22:23.49 | AdityaGandhi | with qt and go ahead from there |
| 22:24.22 | AdityaGandhi | I would say, read Qt documentation, what a framebuffer is |
| 22:24.40 | snoutos | can i compile that project to run on ARM processors for targetting embedded devices |
| 22:24.46 | snoutos | like tablets ...etc |
| 22:24.47 | AdityaGandhi | What are Qt requirements for a framebuffer |
| 22:25.01 | AdityaGandhi | What arm processor? |
| 22:25.10 | AdityaGandhi | Are you using a panda or a beagle board? |
| 22:25.35 | snoutos | i am not using anything |
| 22:25.50 | snoutos | all i need is to create a custom embedded linux that can run on ARM processors |
| 22:26.01 | snoutos | because i knew that most of embedded systems hardware run ARM |

| 22:26.11 | AdityaGandhi | You need to think of a target board, thats where the driver binaries and the complications come in place |
| 22:26.22 | AdityaGandhi | as the drivers are not completely opensource so |
| 22:27.02 | AdityaGandhi | Arm, there are many kinds of processors, which is not the problem, but the graphics drivers may or may not be available for or, or need to be hacked |
| 22:27.36 | AdityaGandhi | So I guess you want something simple to start wit, try qemuarm emulator in yocto / hob |
| 22:28.03 | snoutos | adityGandhi , can you add me to your skype contact |
| 22:28.09 | snoutos | my skype contact is hisprofessional |
| 22:28.34 | snoutos | i will tell you everything in details |
| 22:28.35 | snoutos | there |
| 22:28.57 | AdityaGandhi | sorry snoutos, but this is where you can catch me! |
| 22:29.37 | AdityaGandhi | you can send me a mail at adityag8 at google mail |
| 22:30.42 | snoutos | i will add you now to my gmail account |
| 22:30.46 | snoutos | do you have google talk ? |
| 22:30.50 | snoutos | i have a very good project |
| 22:30.57 | snoutos | that i need to develop with you side by side |
| 22:31.02 | snoutos | you will gain good money |
| 22:31.03 | snoutos | from it |
| 22:31.04 | snoutos | trust me |
| 22:31.15 | hollisb | heh |
| 22:31.17 | snoutos | i am going to add you there now |
| 22:31.25 | snoutos | if you are opening google talk please chat with me there |
| 22:31.31 | snoutos | what hehe ? |
| 22:31.58 | snoutos | i have added you there now |
| 22:34.26 | snoutos | adityag8 i have added you |
| 22:34.28 | snoutos | where are you ? |
| 22:35.39 | AdityaGandhi | ping me |
| 22:35.56 | AdityaGandhi | But i really think you need to rethink you idea in much greater detail |
| 22:36.32 | AdityaGandhi | snoutos: could you please send a mail, not too comfortable with chats! |
