| 00:00:11 | bug1 | mjn3: busybox should work with cpio archives created with the newc and crc formats |
| 00:00:44 | bug1 | -H <format> |
| 00:01:00 | bug1 | by default cpio will use an obsolete stanard |
| 00:07:25 | mjn3 | bug1: ah, that could be it. i don't remember the last time i used it. thanks |
| 17:39:40 | andersee | hi Manuel |
| 17:44:04 | mjn3 | hello from the land of impending rain and wind... |
| 17:48:20 | BZFlag | read that as "hello from the land of implementing rain and wind..." and did a double take. |
| 17:48:39 | andersee | Busy nailing plywood over the windows? |
| 17:49:06 | andersee | When is that hurricane supposed to hit? |
| 17:50:04 | mjn3 | no nailing yet. but we spent the morning running around for supplies. forcasted to make landfall sometime wed night or thur morning. rain will be well ahead of it of course |
| 17:50:51 | mjn3 | actually, New Orleans and Baton Rouge are already getting some rain. on the one hand i hope it stays east of us. on the other, my family is in New Orleans... |
| 17:52:47 | BZFlag | Good luck riding the storm. If you go missing from the net, we'll know why. |
| 17:53:01 | andersee | Well, if we lose touch with you for a few days -- good luck. |
| 17:53:17 | andersee | And be sure to check in your work... just in case. ;-) |
| 17:53:35 | mjn3 | thanks. it should only be a cat 1 i think. not too bad |
| 17:53:39 | mjn3 | thanks erik. ;-) |
| 17:54:03 | andersee | I heard it was cat 3 last I looked... |
| 17:57:07 | mjn3 | it was when it the mexico, but dropped to a tropical storm. they're still forcasting cat 1 |
| 17:59:32 | andersee | Ahh. guess i've not been following it as closely as you (understandable) have been. |
| 20:04:58 | mjn3 | hates hurricane preparations... |
| 20:12:41 | andersee | understandable... |
| 20:20:15 | ninan | hiho. |
| 20:20:23 | ninan | anybody able to compile perl agains uclibc? |
| 20:21:32 | mjn3 | yes |
| 20:22:01 | ninan | mjn3 can you tell me what to do? I get /usr/i386-linux-uclibc/lib/crt0.o: In function `_start': |
| 20:22:01 | ninan | /usr/i386-linux-uclibc/lib/crt0.o(.text+0x16): undefined reference to `__uClibc_main' |
| 20:22:10 | ninan | when Configure runs. |
| 20:25:20 | mjn3 | ninan: see http://uclibc.org/lists/uclibc/2002-August/006505.html |
| 20:27:02 | ninan | hmm. that means perl 5.6.1 is not really supported? |
| 20:27:13 | ninan | no problem for me using perl 5.8 |
| 20:27:18 | ninan | thank you alot |
| 20:27:27 | ninan | btw. what about mozilla? |
| 20:29:18 | mjn3 | ninan: a similar procedure works for prel 5.6.1. mozilla is an open question |
| 20:30:31 | ninan | ok. i have to try since i need it. |
| 20:50:58 | ninan | silly question. the link contains some base64 encoded files useful for me. what unix command decode them. its not uudecode. |
| 22:39:28 | mjn3 | ninan: i'm sure there's an easier way... but one approach is to do-it-yourself. just cut the appropriate sections of encoded text and "mimencode -u" them. then zcat them to uncompress |
| 23:08:47 | bug1 | still no comments on my unarchiv2.3 patch :( |
| 23:09:13 | bug1 | is considering just applying it to force people to helb find bugs |
| 23:10:34 | mjn3 | bug1: works for me. ;-) sorry i haven't had time to look at it. i'm trying to get one project finished and have the added distraction of hurricane preparations. |
| 23:11:27 | bug1 | ahh, where do you live mjn3 ? |
| 23:12:30 | mjn3 | Lafayette, La. midway between Lake Charles and Baton Rouge. but i'm from New Orleans |
| 23:14:44 | bug1 | Im too far south in aus. to get cyclones... got close to one once when i was in northern australia... was pretty exciting :) |
| 23:19:22 | mjn3 | looks like it's going to affect my family more than me. if it keeps to the predicted track, we'll be on the border on the weaker side |
| 23:31:29 | bug1 | i guess you wouldnt have the excitment factor in the US as you seem to get heaps of them |
| 23:34:49 | mjn3 | well, i've been on the outskirts of a few. my best friend's mom would leave new orleans and head inland whenever one looked like it might hit there. of course with a major storm and the right conditions, some parts of new orleans would be under 20 feet of water |
