**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Feb 21 03:00:03 2018 Feb 21 07:59:26 greguu, hi Feb 21 07:59:45 ant_work : hi Feb 21 07:59:47 I uploaded 4.16-rc2 for spitz yesterday Feb 21 07:59:54 hope it still boots Feb 21 07:59:57 before you ask, no I did not try Feb 21 08:00:01 :) Feb 21 08:00:03 neither... Feb 21 08:00:15 DSL outage @home Feb 21 08:01:08 I'll have time today afternoon, while baby-sitting ;) Feb 21 08:02:25 no rush, I will try tomorrow... Feb 21 08:02:51 4.14.18 seems to flow nicely (with patches) Feb 21 08:17:23 it's LTS, now 4.14.20 Feb 21 08:17:57 I'll keep 4.4 around for locomo, now 4.4.116 Feb 21 08:18:13 4.4 is a good choice Feb 21 08:18:16 so far Feb 21 08:18:31 you can backport 4.16 patches Feb 21 08:18:33 in meta-handheld we'll have only 4.16, I don't think to add 4.14 Feb 21 08:18:48 4.4 s fallback Feb 21 08:19:21 (I have a pile of 15-16 patches for 4.4 to port to 4.16 :/) Feb 21 08:20:40 greguu, about sharpslpart patches, don't backport the last two 'touches' Feb 21 08:20:49 no need Feb 21 08:21:10 ok Feb 21 08:22:53 if 4.14 were snappier with scsi-async detection it would be good for linux-kexecboot as well... Feb 21 08:23:08 atm nothing beats 3.x Feb 21 08:24:13 but afair the async only applies to scsi lun's, maybe mmc/sd won't benefit Feb 21 08:39:01 kexecboot is good with 3.10, just we need to get Akita and maybe Cx00 support on 3.10.y patched Feb 21 08:39:24 a bootloader does not need yearly updates :) ? Feb 21 08:43:56 now is almost done, I have some patches to merge. We added lot of stuf: hardboot, devicetree, .. Feb 21 08:44:09 kexecboot 0.7 will be out soon Feb 21 08:45:23 what about f2fs? Feb 21 08:45:30 any new backport? Feb 21 08:46:30 ah, and about vfat...I think to remember there was a problem with long names, it could depend on which device you format the card Feb 21 08:47:27 i.e. with which OS Feb 21 09:05:35 f*ck vfat, f2fs works great Feb 21 09:05:53 what about touch screen support ? Feb 21 09:06:22 in kexecboot ? Feb 21 09:06:50 I am thinking to get a kexeboot kernel on the gemini pda Feb 21 09:07:17 so you can choose between Android and Linux on SSD and also from SD card Feb 21 09:07:56 currently you need to push a button on the device to trigger alternative boot option Feb 21 09:08:31 kexecboot does respond to input events Feb 21 09:08:56 if compiled into the kernel ? Feb 21 09:09:05 yes Feb 21 09:09:35 ok, so fbdev rotation is considered ? Feb 21 09:10:26 as in Zaurus Feb 21 09:10:28 atm it is read from cmdline and passed Feb 21 09:10:38 ok Feb 21 09:11:04 but it could boot any android kernel in theory ? Feb 21 09:11:20 yes, there are already some Feb 21 09:11:27 ok great Feb 21 09:12:09 we added option to pass a totally different cmdline, check out the last commits Feb 21 09:12:30 last commits ? Feb 21 09:12:32 how old Feb 21 09:12:34 ? Feb 21 09:12:55 latest boot.cfg (v6) allows all sorts of things already Feb 21 09:12:59 https://github.com/kexecboot/kexecboot/commits/master Feb 21 09:13:11 see kexecboot: Add support for CMDLINE option Feb 21 09:13:25 is this post v6 ? Feb 21 09:13:59 yes Feb 21 09:14:17 v6 lacks f2fs Feb 21 09:15:14 but I made it work with v6. maybe I used git Feb 21 09:15:19 ? Feb 21 09:15:30 probable Feb 21 09:16:04 F2FS work good, no issue so far Feb 21 09:16:17 Tony is working for droid 4 support Feb 21 09:17:13 Who is Tony ? Feb 21 09:17:37 you forked kexecboot, yes Feb 21 09:18:02 Tony Lindgren is a kernel developer, was one of TI beagleboard guys Feb 21 09:19:28 about inputs, there is still an old fork with a patch adding volume keys for up and down Feb 21 09:20:18 this is evdevs.c in code Feb 21 09:22:00 well, is a bit a special case Feb 21 09:25:26 afais all input sources are considered by now **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Feb 22 03:00:04 2018
