11:33.18DocScrutinizerand admin is Roh
11:33.30DocScrutinizerand/or gismo
11:34.07DocScrutinizerwhat'S status of om infra? I haven't checked and nobody pinged me
11:35.09DocScrutinizerhmm, at least wiki seems fine
11:35.29DocScrutinizermail as well, though nobody except me is probably using it anymore ;-P
11:37.01DocScrutinizeranyway, mailto:xxx@openmoko.org shall work, it's @openmoko.com that been the corporate mail and been down since ages
11:38.54DocScrutinizerbest way to tackle problems with OM infra is to a) ping me, b) ping roh, c) leave a note at admin-trac
11:39.06DocScrutinizerc) seems to be no option ;-)
11:40.36DocScrutinizerI seem to remember infra "moved" from sean/OM_inc to Harald/LaF0rge some 9 months ago
11:40.51DocScrutinizermickeyl should know details
11:41.50DocScrutinizeranyway if you want me to take care, please ping me with exact description of WHAT is down or defect, and since WHEN
11:46.26DocScrutinizerpabs3: what's "non-OM folks"?
11:47.45pabs3DocScrutinizer: git.openmoko.org, svn.openmoko.org and docs.openmoko.org are down
11:48.02pabs3DocScrutinizer: people outside of OM Inc
11:48.15DocScrutinizerso everybody except Sean ;-D
11:48.49DocScrutinizeryes, wiki is backed up by our admins roh and gismo
11:48.57pabs3DocScrutinizer: here is rah's mail: http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2012-March/066676.html
11:48.59DocScrutinizeras well as all the other stuff
11:49.33pabs3good to hear
11:50.35DocScrutinizerwell, I'd think OM domains never were related to FIC
11:51.33DocScrutinizeras mentioned above they were registered by Sean/OM_inc but moved to Harald Welte aka gnumonks some time ago. mickeyl should know details
11:51.43DocScrutinizeradmins are roh and gismo
11:51.58DocScrutinizerroh can be found at freenode frequently
11:52.16DocScrutinizerthough recently not so much in this very channel anymore
11:53.03DocScrutinizerI have no idea about git and svn, thought they were shut down years ago, since nothing useful happened on them
11:53.23DocScrutinizerdownload should live
11:53.50DocScrutinizerotherwise I'd wonder where from you could get "official" schematics etc
11:54.10pabs3git at least has kernel, qemu etc stuff. IIRC svn had useful stuff in it too
11:54.18DocScrutinizerhttp://people.openmoko.org/joerg/ is fine
11:55.07DocScrutinizerwho maintained kernel on git.om during last 2 years?
11:55.46DocScrutinizersorry to confess I have no idea about sttaus of git etc
11:56.10pabs3hardware issues according to Sean
11:56.21DocScrutinizerdated from?
11:57.07pabs3my first mail to him was 22 Jan, IIRC it was down before then for a while too
11:57.58pabs3last sunday he said:
11:57.58pabs3The guys are in the process of buying hardware and reconfiguring the server. It will be at least a few weeks, I would imagine.
11:58.00DocScrutinizeryeah, I guess it was
11:58.56DocScrutinizerbuying hardware?? strange, I thought we host on Hetzner rootservers that are leased
12:00.15DocScrutinizerI might try to log in to sita and possibly shakti as well, and see what's going on. But I doubt I could do much
12:00.49DocScrutinizerI'm not sure I have root on mail.om, quite probably not
12:01.30DocScrutinizeranyway I pinged roh and asked him to drop by here and help shed some light on the issue
12:02.18DocScrutinizerplease ping me again in a few days when probelms persist and neither roh nor mickeyl answered
12:02.45DocScrutinizermickeyl: ping
12:02.58DocScrutinizer~seen mickeyl
12:03.03aptmickeyl is currently on #oe #openmoko #openmoko-cdevel, last said: 'gnight'.
12:03.15rahDocScrutinizer: PaulFertser and lindi- have made commits until relatively recently
12:03.24DocScrutinizermhm
12:03.38DocScrutinizerso why didn't they ping me the minute it failed?
12:04.08DocScrutinizerPaulFertser: ping
12:04.14DocScrutinizerlindi-: ping
12:04.21pabs3I guess people didn't know you were involved, I certainly didn't
12:04.23DocScrutinizer^^^ what's up with this?
12:04.24rahthey're not doing active development right now, I believe due to time constraints
12:05.02DocScrutinizerpabs3: lindi- and paul for sure know
12:05.08DocScrutinizer;-D
12:05.11rahthe absence of git.om.org is a problem for me though, in that I want to use the trees on it to get my GTA01 working
12:05.23DocScrutinizerfair point
12:05.47DocScrutinizermickeyl is your man
12:06.19DocScrutinizerhe knows more about om infra and who's doing what, than I do
12:06.54DocScrutinizer[2012-03-25 14:06:43] [Whois] mickeyl ist seit 52 Tagen, 14 Stunden, 3 Minuten und 43 Sekunden untätig.
12:06.57DocScrutinizerWTF?!
12:07.46DocScrutinizerI'm starting to feel concerned
12:08.21rahindeed

14:00.53GNUtoomorphis, do you have an idea for AT+VTS=N on gta04
14:01.00GNUtooI need that to work on sound
14:01.11GNUtooI think I'll use qtmoko forwarder at the end
14:01.17GNUtooit says no echo at all

14:01.44GNUtooso maybe oslec is not needed
14:01.44JaMamorphis: last staging is closed now, do you have some fso changes to push now?
14:16.15DocScrutinizerwell, guys. If you're not pinging anybody of the "crew" (me, mickey, roh...) about any problems with OM infra, odds are nobody will take care at all
14:17.03DocScrutinizerrah: roh doesn't monitor the boxes nor the ML anymore on a regular basis. He's doing voluntary admin for this stuff, while Harald Welte pays for it
14:18.30DocScrutinizerrah: nevertheless the vhost will move on new iron eventually, together with other vhosts that are actually used on a regular basis by roh and others, so any hw defect like today will get noticed more in a timely manner
14:19.03DocScrutinizerhis box has obviously some fried components, maybe NIC, or PSU
14:19.18DocScrutinizerthis* box
14:21.32DocScrutinizerrah: regarding the whole FIC story you might want to read up some old tales and other stuff in the internets. Basically OM never been FIC, and FIC never been directly involved into OM
14:22.43DocScrutinizerOM and FIC shared some HR, some facilities, and some resources for sourcing and assembly/manufacturing which actually been done at a FIC plant for customer OM
14:23.49DocScrutinizerfor quite a long time OM had their office in FIC building, and that's what you see on Sean's address in whois, though even this isn't correct anymore
14:25.24DocScrutinizeranyway for now openmoko.org domain is neither FIC nor openmoko_inc, on any level (except Sean still in admin-c, some odd detail)

14:37.46DocScrutinizerI'm not usually following this ML at all
14:37.55GNUtooDocScrutinizer, hi, is there differences in the NOR bootloader of the gta02 that justify a patch for handling a parameter on hardware/software ECC for NAND?
14:38.19DocScrutinizerummm
14:38.22DocScrutinizerlemme think
14:38.31DocScrutinizerif I even understand your question
14:38.42rahDocScrutinizer: it sounds to me like the community does not have control of om.org
14:39.08DocScrutinizerrah: depends on your definition of "community"
14:39.17rahDocScrutinizer: it sounds to me like the people who used to be involved in Openmoko Inc. have moved on from the community but still have control over community resources
14:39.21DocScrutinizerI feel like I have quite a bit of control
14:39.41GNUtoothere is that commit message:
14:39.43GNUtoo<PROTECTED>
14:39.48DocScrutinizeryou're free to relieve me from that burden ;-D
14:40.09GNUtooEarly verions off uboot used for the gta02 flashed the nand with ecc information incompatible to s3c2440 hardware ecc. Disable hardware error correction by default, unless the bootloader explicitly enables it.
14:40.23rahDocScrutinizer: you just said you don't follow the community mailing list, yet you consider yourself part of the community?
14:40.31GNUtooshould I care about this patch or can I disable hardware ecc for all gta02?
14:41.01DocScrutinizerrah: you want a poll if I'm really "community" or not?
14:41.15rahDocScrutinizer: it might be useful if you shared with the community how we can go about ensuring that hosts which are down are dealt with
14:41.29DocScrutinizerrah: see, you didn't even know about me and my role, still you think *you* are "community"?
14:41.32rahDocScrutinizer: for example, by providing contact details for the hosts' administrators

14:44.34GNUtoook
14:44.41DocScrutinizerrah: so what?
14:45.03rahDocScrutinizer: I think people who used to be active in the community have moved on and stopped being active, and new people have come along and started participating in the community
14:45.24rahDocScrutinizer: the new people, like myself, do not know how to deal with servers being down
14:45.46DocScrutinizeragain, so what? I haven't moved on, as well as a lot of users here haven't
14:45.48rahDocScrutinizer: we need you to tell us
14:46.07DocScrutinizerOK, I did my best to tell you
14:46.15rahDocScrutinizer: preferably in a way that is widely visible, and easily retrieved; ie, in an email to the community mailing list
14:46.39DocScrutinizeralas the page to report issues with OM infra is down itself, so the situation is a bit unfortunate right now
14:47.15DocScrutinizerrah: fair point
14:47.23rahDocScrutinizer: could you write an email to the community mailing list containing contact details for the current om.org host admins?
14:47.31rahplease?
14:47.40DocScrutinizerI will ask Roh to do that
14:48.02DocScrutinizerno better info that direct info, no? ;-)

18:16.21rahDocScrutinizer: I've replied to your email
18:17.43DocScrutinizeryeah, nice.
18:17.59DocScrutinizerI'll not bother anymore. Go pester somebody else
18:20.39DocScrutinizerlisten buddy, I'm just volunteering to care about all that stuff (just like all the other guys that do). We're not amused when somebody approaches us with a demanding attitude that implies we behave inappropriate for the duties we are in service for. There are no such obligations on any of us. You obviously haven't wrapped your head around the fact yet that openmoko.org already *is* owned by "community" and none of us owns you
18:20.41DocScrutinizeranything
18:28.56DocScrutinizerif you feel "we are in trouble" then offer to do it better, suggest improvements
18:30.11DocScrutinizernow that you know what's it all about, why don't *you* hang out in this chan 24/7, reading *all* posts and answering questions like yours when the next one drops by complaining about whatever?
18:30.38DocScrutinizerproblem solved
18:32.33DocScrutinizerI bet you're also welcome you pay a couple of servers at any arbitrary hoster, and probably Roh will help eventually when he finds time between his daywork to create an account for you on *.openmoko.org so you can mirror whatever you want
18:33.18DocScrutinizerI'd even bet a lot of openmoko.* domains are still free, so you can pick any of those for that serverfarm
18:34.07DocScrutinizerthen starr your flavour of community, that's not formed of suspicious lazy asshats like me that formerly were involved in openmoko.com
18:40.31DocScrutinizeranf for the "could you please provide email addr of Roh" part. No I won't, as probably Roh will beat me up disclosing his addr so he gets pestered in such a way
18:42.01rahwoah
18:42.18PaulFertserWell, in fact one can easily find his address anyway...
18:42.38PaulFertserHey DocScrutinizer
18:44.09rahPaulFertser: how can one find his address?
18:45.10PaulFertserrah: ahem
18:45.22rahPaulFertser: what do you mean?
18:47.25PaulFertserrah: i'm not sorry but i'm not sure i should explain how to collect specific information about people that probably wouldn't like this kind of attention.
18:48.09rahwhat
18:48.10rahthe
18:48.11rahfuck
18:48.18rah"this kind of attention"?
18:48.40rahare you all nuts?
18:48.50rahI just want to know who to contact when a host goes down
18:48.52PaulFertserrah: sure thing, at least i certainly am :)
18:49.20PaulFertserrah: I think Joerg explained it now pretty well in the last mail to the community mailing list.
18:49.22rahPaulFertser: you're not a rational person?
18:49.40PaulFertserrah: just drop by here, ask if others can confirm the problem, then ping roh.
18:49.50rahwhat if roh is not here?
18:50.19PaulFertserrah: a person doesn't need to be on the channel for you to be able to send him private messages.
18:50.28rahwhat if roh is not here on this network?
18:51.04rahscratch that
18:51.29PaulFertserrah: he's almost always is.
18:51.31rahwhy do you not want to give out contact details for the named administrators of openmoko.org hosts?
18:51.48rahI can't imagine roh would actually beat up DocScrutinizer
18:52.36PaulFertserrah: i think DocScrutinizer has some rationale behind not telling you his contact details, i'm not sure why he does that...
18:52.59rahif you truly are members of the openmoko community, I would imagine you would want the community to have the best tools at its disposal for the development of free phones
18:53.08PaulFertserrah: of course
18:53.19rahwhich means hosts the community uses should be appropriately maintained
18:53.33PaulFertserrah: roh told me that the new hardware is coming really soon and that he'll take care of migrating.
18:54.11PaulFertserAnd before the new hardware comes not much can be done except for the rebooting the machine whenever it's stuck.
18:54.19rahwhich means that there should be some method of contacting those with responsibility for the hosts, so that they can deal with any problems that arise
18:54.36PaulFertserYes, IRC worked fine so far.
18:54.42rahno, it hasn't
18:55.08PaulFertserrah: was he really off freenode? Hm, i've never seen him doing that.

18:57.10rahDocScrutinizer: do you have some rationale behind not telling others roh's contact details?
18:58.27rahwhy is there such unwillingness to share this information?
18:58.39DocScrutinizerrah: you're not in a position to advise the actually existing community about how we do our business
18:58.53rahPaulFertser: why are you clinging on to the idea of notifying administrators through IRC?
18:58.58PaulFertserrah: why do you have such persistance to get this information from Doc instead of obtaining it from the usual public sources?
18:59.16DocScrutinizerbecause on your side there's such desire to pester Roh directly, while that's not what he wants
18:59.41rahPaulFertser: the only usual public sources that I know of to determine who administers a machine is the WHOIS database which, in this instance, provides no useful information
19:00.19rahDocScrutinizer: you didn't answer my question; is there some rationale behind not telling others roh's contact details?
19:00.28DocScrutinizerI gave proper instructions how to contact me, and I'll take care about it. If that's not what you want to do or get done, you're on your own. And I wasted way too much time on all this already
19:00.41rahPaulFertser: what public sources are you referring to?
19:00.44DocScrutinizerYES SIR! I ANSWERED IT

19:01.07PaulFertserDocScrutinizer: ok
19:01.45PaulFertserrah: sorry but i have to stop. Apparently roh wants to deal with requests for maintanence only through proxies. Doc and I volunteer to act as such.
19:01.57rahthat's fucking ridiculous
19:02.08DocScrutinizer:shrug:
19:04.38DocScrutinizerI think Roh is well capable of deciding on his own what he wants to publish for contact addr, and I made him aware of your request. Now it's up to him, and NO SIR I WON'T GIVE YOU addr so you can escalate this meaningless nagging

20:15.34DocScrutinizeractually I forgot what it was about
20:15.46DocScrutinizersorry
20:15.53lindi-DocScrutinizer: but yeah I've noticed that git.openmoko.org is unreliable but don't know much what to do about it. my kernel work is in git.debian.org and gitorious
20:16.13DocScrutinizeraah, yup. okay
20:16.15DocScrutinizerthanks
20:16.16lindi-I was never given any push access to git.openmoko.org anyway
20:16.46lindi-but I'd hate to lose the wiki or mailing list archives
20:17.00DocScrutinizerthe unreliability is due to some worn out hw in the box. It gets replaced in a short while
20:17.13DocScrutinizerlindi-: won't happen :-D
20:17.14lindi-I've made some copies of the wiki but it's difficult since mediawiki export scripts are not very polished
20:18.02DocScrutinizerthough I agree (and always did) we should get a mirror somewhere outside the usual infra
20:18.14DocScrutinizerthe problem is like you already noticed
20:18.22rahboggles
20:19.52DocScrutinizerlindi-: I also got a not so recent wget copy of the wiki, and my mail archive is probably over-complete :-D
20:20.16miscor dump the db after removing the user info
20:21.30DocScrutinizermisc: sure, we could probably do all this, but it's quite a  bit of work. And I have no direct access to the wiki machine, or if I have then I don't know the machine config enough to mess with it. I prefer roh to do this
20:22.15miscDocScrutinizer: I suspect mediawiki fundation to have a script to do that ( they do for wikipedia )
20:22.57DocScrutinizer:nod: maybe if you can find such script, the whole thing can be done in a few hours
20:23.35DocScrutinizerfor now, the servers have regular backup schemes running, and nobody is planning to tear them down
20:24.42DocScrutinizerit's just the maintenance is quite some overhead in relation to the actual size of project, so roh is managing all this in his spare time and that sometimes delays things a day or two
20:25.23DocScrutinizerbut there's definitely nothing "on the stake"
20:26.08DocScrutinizerand for now harald and roh feel like keeping the arrangement like it is
20:26.25miscthe only thing I found is https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_dumps#Producing_your_own_dumps
20:26.34DocScrutinizermodulo some new iron for the flaky machine
20:26.47lindi-DocScrutinizer: is harald still involved?
20:26.48miscbut I think I will first try to deploy this on $OTHER_PROJECT wiki to see how it goes
20:26.50DocScrutinizerI think that's known
20:27.15DocScrutinizerlindi-: harald is paying the infra
20:27.25lindi-ok
20:27.30DocScrutinizerand basically owning the domains
20:27.42lindi-ok, didn't know any of this
20:28.07DocScrutinizerwell, now you know ;-)

20:30.30DocScrutinizerumm, nope. I don't think we can safely disclose these, as we can't get approval by everybody who posted a silly joke in this chan
20:30.45lindi-DocScrutinizer: yeah of course you can't publish them completely but at least some interesting quotes would be nice
20:30.51DocScrutinizerbesides there are no logs

20:35.14lindi-DocScrutinizer: well I couldn't know what that says :)
20:35.32DocScrutinizeractually the internal MLs might be way more interesting than #om-devel
20:35.41lindi-yeah
20:36.28DocScrutinizerbut if anybody could disclose those, then it's Sean
20:37.27DocScrutinizereven for the internal ML, my ears still ring from wolfgang shouting PUBLIC! MAKE IT PUBLIC!!
20:38.15DocScrutinizermeans we later on did exatly same discussions on the public MLs that formerly were done on intML
20:38.47DocScrutinizerwe just had to obey some annoying rules like not talking about case and design of GTA04 etc
20:39.16DocScrutinizerwhich always was a bit of an annoyance when doing internal EE etc discussions on pubML
20:40.03rahwhere do your discussions take place now?
20:40.11DocScrutinizerhere
20:40.43DocScrutinizerthere's no "your" anymore. OM_the_inc is out of phone business
20:41.07rahI thought you were the community
20:41.24DocScrutinizerand I have no clue if and what Sean discusses now, where, and with whom
20:42.05DocScrutinizeryes, we are the community, and I talked about "we, the OM_inc" with lindi
20:42.57DocScrutinizerthere's no more such "we, the OM_inc" discussions anywhere
20:43.07DocScrutinizerthere's only "we, the community" now
20:43.17DocScrutinizerand you either are a part of it, or not
20:43.22rahindeed
20:43.24DocScrutinizerup to you to dcide
20:45.10DocScrutinizereven if you decide you're part of it, you're not in a position to blame anybody else about what we cureently do with wiki or whatever. You may suggest to take responsibility and contribute
20:45.27rahindeed
20:46.11DocScrutinizerbut we don't need anybody questioning our attitude and ways we do things
20:47.17DocScrutinizerand if Roh doesn't like to get pestered by random inquiries and thus decides he doesn't publish his email, then that's absolutely legit
20:47.18lindi-I'm ok with people questioning my attitude :)
20:49.22DocScrutinizerwe're also not asking your phonenumber and geo-address to send you random packages, just when we think this was the right way to contact you and let you know something
20:50.14DocScrutinizerand if you think that's ridiculous, then sorry dude
20:50.27lindi-I've moved since you last sent me a letter btw :)
20:50.37DocScrutinizerI really got better things to do in my rare spare time
20:50.51DocScrutinizerlindi-: I wasn't talking to yu :-D
20:51.25rahDocScrutinizer: true, you do have something better to do with your time: you have to act as roh's proxy :-)
20:51.30DocScrutinizeranyway, you moved :-) better place now?
20:51.46DocScrutinizerrah: yes
20:52.16DocScrutinizerand if you are not comfortable with this, then use the admin-trac and stop pestering us here
20:53.03rahI'm comfortable with using you as a proxy, I just think it's absurd
20:53.28DocScrutinizerthat's your cup of tea. I'm not interested in this notion of yours
20:53.51DocScrutinizerthat's the way it is, take it or leave it
20:53.55miscwell, that's maybe not the most productive way but I can understand that someone may want someone else to act as a buffer
20:54.10miscI mean, we see it for doctor, for businessman, for lots of thing
20:55.24DocScrutinizerrah: maybe you also want the number of the technicians at Hetzner? So you can directly pester *them* about the broken NIC in that box?
20:56.03rahDocScrutinizer: I don't think that's a sensible suggestion
20:56.19DocScrutinizerare you sure you will have much success in doing so, without the proper background info you don'T have
20:57.11DocScrutinizerthen what makes you think pestering Roh or Gismo directly is any different from pestering Hetzner helpdesk or even technicians
20:58.15DocScrutinizeror - LOL - even _Harald Welte, wherever he just might be
21:00.44DocScrutinizerare you insisting in private phonenumber of Bill Gates to discuss your windows related problem with him? are you engaging in strange discussions with M$ helpdesk to make them disclose this phone number to you?
21:00.44rahDocScrutinizer: you've told me that Roh and Gismo are the hosts' administrators
21:01.33DocScrutinizerso what? where is written this implies your direct contact to them?
21:02.12DocScrutinizerby whatever means you pick and think are best suited, at the time you choose?
21:02.32rahDocScrutinizer: it doesn't have to be written down for something to be true
21:03.07DocScrutinizererrr, yes and 1 + 1 = 2
21:03.20DocScrutinizermeh
21:03.24DocScrutinizerbye
21:03.41rahDocScrutinizer: in my view, it is reasonable and in fact expected, that a host's administrator will respond to emails from that host's users
21:04.44DocScrutinizersee? that'S the reason why you won't get the mail addr from me
21:04.45rahDocScrutinizer: I've never seen that view written down; it's just something that's developed through my experience as both a user and an administrator
21:05.46DocScrutinizerwe are running another procedure here, and we don't care to implement yours
21:06.28DocScrutinizerto be precise, *Roh* is handling this differently
21:07.05DocScrutinizerand I won't force anything onto him, and for sure I won't help *you* to do that
21:07.49DocScrutinizeryour aproach is exactly that last drop mentioned in

21:27.50misc( on the other hand, I missed the start of discussion, so that would explain )
21:27.57DocScrutinizerwell, probably it's been the constant attitude like "you're rogue owners of this valuable info, hand it out to the community! to somebody not related to OM"
21:30.27DocScrutinizeralso this alarmed shouting "if that's your best advice, then we are in real trouble"
21:30.54DocScrutinizerwhile evidently this dude knew nothing about the real facts
21:31.21DocScrutinizerwhich he compensated by stating false assumptions as facts

21:35.53miscbut yes I have seen
21:36.27miscDocScrutinizer: maybe you should have collected the money by giving some obsfucated source code, like the osmocombb after using some perl on it

21:40.03misceven better, we do that, and we then do a movie about it ( cause of course, the plan will not go well )
21:40.30miscDocScrutinizer: I am really doubtful he will do anything
21:40.54DocScrutinizerfor sure he won't - until he sees an easy opportunity
21:40.54miscI know that's easy to say for me because i am not concerned

21:56.39GNUtooit seems that there is a commit that breaks init=/bin/bash
21:56.56lindi-GNUtoo: initramfs works?
21:57.22GNUtoono
21:57.26lindi-GNUtoo: "init=/bin/bash" is not the best way to debug if you use initramfs since its code gets executed before bash
21:57.29GNUtoobin/bash works on certain commits
21:57.33lindi-ok
21:58.33GNUtoois it possible to bisect in a bisect?

22:16.28GNUtoo*baseband usable with free software
22:17.18DocScrutinizerwell, for a completely different topic: when did mickey last time show up here, actively?
