| 13:56:06 | mjn3 | sjhill: morning |
| 13:56:52 | sjhill | g'morning Manuel |
| 13:57:02 | sjhill | so what's on the agenda today? |
| 13:59:24 | mjn3 | need to build a custom filesystem for the zaurus. that should finish off that project and then i can get back to i10n/i18n stuff, plus fix a couple of minor issues i'm aware of |
| 14:22:44 | sjhill | hey andersee |
| 14:23:01 | andersee | morning |
| 14:23:08 | andersee | All going ok? |
| 14:23:42 | andersee | sjhill: BTW, I've got my uClibc build script updated and it now works stock for mipsel... Tried it this morning and it worked. |
| 14:23:49 | mjn3 | andersee: morning. i commited a couple of vodz's patches to busybox. bb_asprintf was broken for some archs plus he fixed another bug in arith.c |
| 14:24:01 | andersee | sjhill: good good. |
| 14:24:26 | andersee | sjhill: We need to get those new applets in as well... awk and such |
| 14:25:27 | andersee | sjhill: I've not reviewed them yet to be sure that would pass the Manuel test. ;-) |
| 14:25:31 | mjn3 | the bb_asprintf bug has a similar counterpart in uClibc, but only in one of my optional configurations. i think i mentioned i needed to fix a bug involving va_copy/va_end... |
| 14:25:55 | andersee | mjn3: yup. I remember you mentioning that. |
| 14:26:16 | mjn3 | andersee: the "Manuel test"??? ;-) |
| 14:26:22 | andersee | mjn3: hehe. |
| 14:26:35 | andersee | mjn3: i.e. whether a new busybox applets sucks.... |
| 14:26:50 | mjn3 | andersee: i might get the va_copy stuff fixed today. my priority though is getting the zaurus filesystem done |
| 14:27:07 | mjn3 | ahh... you mean, find the bloat quotient. |
| 14:27:49 | andersee | mjn3: yup |
| 14:28:16 | andersee | mjn3: The Manuel test is looking to see if committing the applet would make you cringe. ;-) |
| 14:28:47 | mjn3 | well, when i start building a setup on the zaurus for my own use, i'll probably do some shrinking of a few bb applets i'm sure. |
| 14:29:31 | andersee | You know, I really should get busybox 0.60.4 out the door today. |
| 14:29:38 | mjn3 | andersee: i still haven't recovered from glancing at fbset |
| 14:29:43 | andersee | I've done far too much procrastinating... |
| 14:29:46 | andersee | mjn3: hehe |
| 14:29:59 | andersee | is happy |
| 14:30:14 | andersee | The replacement for my laptop power supply just arrived from UPS |
| 14:30:58 | andersee | The connector on the old one was busted... which made using the laptop a a brief thing at best |
| 14:31:03 | mjn3 | andersee: if you do, vodz has at least one patch pending i think. i committed last_patch5[34].gz this morning, but didn't look at last_patch52.gz |
| 14:31:13 | mjn3 | mjn3@mars:~/work/embedded/busybox/util-linux$ zgrep "^diff" ~/last_patch52.gz |

| 14:31:25 | mjn3 | diff -rbu busybox.orig/procps/kill.c busybox/procps/kill.c |
| 14:31:44 | andersee | I'll be looking over all the pending patches first. |
| 14:31:56 | andersee | Generally, vodz' patches are fine |
| 14:31:58 | mjn3 | andersee: also, there was something about init and SIG_CHILD. see http://www.busybox.net/lists/busybox/2002-August/012057.html |
| 14:33:21 | andersee | mjn3: Hmm. I think I added that patch... |
| 14:33:28 | andersee | mjn3: checking. |
| 14:35:49 | mjn3 | andersee: also, if you felt like it, there's a small implementation of mesg that i coded as an example/reply to someone else's suggested version. needs to be fleshed out re uhttp://www.busybox.net/lists/busybox/2002-May/011409.htmlsage and stuff. see |
| 14:36:23 | mjn3 | seems to be dys-paste-ic |
| 14:37:31 | andersee | hehe |
| 14:39:06 | andersee | mjn3: I'd added that SIG_CHLD patch to stable, but not to unstable. |
| 14:39:55 | mjn3 | that would do it |
| 15:15:38 | mjn3 | andersee: i was just looking at fbset again... besides being bloated, it also uses floating point ops :-( |
| 15:16:28 | mjn3 | thinks busybox needs a no-float option |
| 18:26:23 | sjhill | andersee: around? |
| 18:26:38 | andersee | yup |
| 18:26:45 | andersee | Getting sleepy though |
| 18:26:49 | sjhill | gah...sorry, nevermind :) |
| 18:26:59 | andersee | no no. what's up? |
| 18:27:01 | sjhill | i got confused which CVS repository i was updating |
| 18:27:15 | andersee | oh |
| 18:27:39 | andersee | New design win for busybox and uClibc... from Intel this time. http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT7941141731.html |
| 18:29:07 | sjhill | $80! i don't believe it |
| 18:29:37 | andersee | Thats about the cost of just the 802.11b card.... |
| 18:30:17 | sjhill | right |
| 18:31:14 | sjhill | i'll definitely buy one though |
| 18:31:35 | andersee | Also this morning I got an email from a company that processes over 1 billion stock transactions per day. They've been running |
| 18:31:35 | andersee | all the 1000 or so systems in their data center on MSDOS for the past 10 years or so. Guess what they are migrating their system to? Linux, busybox and uClibc. |
| 18:32:47 | sjhill | cool, hopefully you'll score a contract |
| 18:33:30 | andersee | hehe. That is one of the downsides to opensource.... They can do without me. :) |
| 18:34:20 | andersee | We shall see. For example, I'd never even heard about this Intel thing till I saw that article... |
| 18:38:44 | sjhill | hmm |
| 20:03:13 | mjn3 | andersee: hey... i think i'm going to rewrite fbset from scratch this weekend. the current implementation offends me... |
| 20:05:28 | mjn3 | andersee: i don't know if you want to for this release, but i think we _really_ need to audit the busybox code for floating point use |
| 20:23:42 | andersee | mjn3: indeed |
| 20:23:59 | andersee | It would be good to do for this release... |
| 23:01:18 | caldo_de_cana | hello, anyone alive? |
| 23:25:35 | mjn3 | yes |
