**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat May 08 02:59:56 2010 May 08 03:23:36 hello :) May 08 03:23:36 what sort fo support will meego have for linux programmes? May 08 04:51:42 whos May 08 04:51:44 who May 08 04:52:20 ==help May 08 04:52:36 how to use the irc? please help! May 08 04:53:03 what do you mean how to use it ... you are using it already! May 08 04:53:50 Are there some useful command? May 08 04:55:20 Hello everybody! May 08 04:55:56 http://www.ircbeginner.com/ircinfo/ircc-commands.html (first random hit on a search but it's good enough to get you going) May 08 04:56:45 bfree, thank you very much! May 08 04:57:14 * nifeng hello! May 08 04:57:22 * nifeng :-) May 08 07:48:38 hi all May 08 07:48:46 lo sidh May 08 07:49:03 can i compile meego for arm May 08 07:49:32 yes, it is already compiled for it :) May 08 07:49:36 >= armv5 May 08 07:49:51 ok... from where i can downloD May 08 07:50:26 where can i get source of that May 08 07:50:27 repo.meego.com :) May 08 07:50:33 what kind of device do you want to port it to? May 08 07:51:00 i want to port it on BeagleBoard May 08 07:51:25 ok, there's already some guys organising to do this May 08 07:51:54 but i dont know the exact method May 08 07:52:03 where i can get help for that May 08 07:52:09 you can try to poke WAHa_06x36 and see http://forum.meego.com/showthread.php?t=117 May 08 07:53:00 ok May 08 07:53:20 and organise yourselves :) May 08 07:53:24 it should be rather simple May 08 07:55:45 thanks Stskeeps May 08 07:55:47 bye May 08 08:32:02 QA process as per maemo: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dY7nnDH4cew/S-UgctHxP8I/AAAAAAAAABY/_aOPeFkMxdg/s400/obs-qa.png May 08 08:32:06 any thoughts? May 08 08:32:26 modified slightly for OBS application May 08 08:36:07 a thought: not marketing ready? ;) May 08 08:37:36 whaaat! May 08 08:37:43 Morning, all May 08 08:37:55 Jaffa: :) May 08 08:38:01 think of the devil... May 08 08:38:06 lbt: what's the "Home" blob? May 08 08:38:37 raw text ....http://pastie.org/951214 May 08 08:38:50 And the difference between Extras:Testing and Extras:Testing_repo? I'd've thought auto-builder vs. repo itself, but we shouldn't be rebuilding at Extras:Stable stage, so I'm now confused :) May 08 08:39:49 crappy pastie... hold on May 08 08:39:59 Extras:Testing would be a obs project and _repo is the resulting repos i guess May 08 08:40:11 http://mer-l-in.blogspot.com/2010/05/community-building-against-meego-and.html May 08 08:40:27 yes.. Stskeeps May 08 08:40:55 * Jaffa reads May 08 08:41:46 lbt: First clarification - 'home:repo' is shared, like Extras-devel, but may also be used like PPAs? May 08 08:41:59 Ah, no. May 08 08:42:12 One home:repo per projecty-thing. So more like PPAs. May 08 08:42:36 each project (directory if you like) results in a repo May 08 08:42:47 there can be multiple packages in a project May 08 08:43:11 lbt: indeed; i.e. dependent libraries, data packages etc. May 08 08:44:07 well, a package is a tarball May 08 08:44:08 lbt: have firewall-like "QA" lines before Extras:Testing and Extras:Testing_repo May 08 08:44:16 OK May 08 08:44:27 lbt: That matches your text, AFAICT May 08 08:44:42 Jaffa: that's the plan May 08 08:45:33 back in a minute Jaffa... May 08 08:46:20 lbt: If your home:repo (should be called home_repo?) has multiple packages so that it's a workable, self-consistent set of packages, 1) you have to register all the packages' you're going to promote names; 2) what happens if libfoo is in my home:repo and already in Extras:Testing_repo? May 08 08:48:28 hey hey May 08 08:48:33 lo Termana May 08 08:50:21 Stskeeps, raster was right, Nexus One GLES libs definitely don't support X11. I emailed Brian Swetland (a kernel developers on the Google Android team), he said that they don't :P May 08 08:50:29 damnit :P May 08 08:50:46 why should they? May 08 08:51:38 thiago_home, well, no one said that Google should of made sure they do, since Google isn't focusing on that. But we were just hoping, so that the MeeGo Handset UX could be used (assuming it NEEDS Open GL ES) May 08 08:51:42 thiago_home: No reason; but I imagine it'd've made a MeeGo port a lot easier if they did :-) May 08 08:51:58 Termana: it might, by using the Lighthouse port of Qt May 08 08:52:01 which runs on Android May 08 08:52:15 Termana: Assuming the Handset UX is entirely Qt based; couldn't an FB-targetting rather than X11-targetting version of Qt be used? May 08 08:52:23 Kinda like what thiago_home just said :-) May 08 08:52:29 and Lighthouse supports OpenGL for a full week now May 08 08:52:40 thiago_home: Positively ancient ;-) May 08 08:52:49 of course, that requires the application code not to use any non-cross-platform API (any X calls) May 08 08:53:00 Indeed. May 08 08:53:20 and I'm pretty sure the MeeGoTouch libraries do (shared pixmaps) May 08 08:53:49 It was the hope that no recompiling would be needed too much, just straight up trying to use the n900 rootfs. If the Open GL ES libraries supported X, this would of been easily possible (at least in theory) May 08 08:53:57 Jaffa: the home area is essentially unmananged May 08 08:54:20 you can create a 'bash' package in there May 08 08:54:34 but it's clear I need some 'how OBS works' too May 08 08:55:23 that gives people 'freedom' without any irritating processes May 08 08:55:30 lbt: So devs would have to sort conflicts when they try to transition to Extras:Testing (just like when they try to go to extras-devel now) May 08 08:55:37 and PPA's by default May 08 08:55:38 yes May 08 08:55:45 we lose Extras-devel May 08 08:55:54 which is a bit of a mess IMHO May 08 08:56:13 Stskeeps: yes May 08 08:56:27 lbt: Is Extras:Testing going to have the same package list across all platforms? (THinking about dev who wants to write cross-platform s/w and the libraries he's packaged and called different things on different archs for no good reason) May 08 08:56:41 No May 08 08:56:52 This is 'application store' territory May 08 08:56:59 at the bottom May 08 08:57:05 I have..... May 08 08:57:15 * lbt glances around to make sure qgil isn't here May 08 08:57:18 Surrounds May 08 08:57:38 :P May 08 08:57:55 :) May 08 08:58:25 Jaffa: hmm ... "Is Extras:Testing going to have the same package list across all platforms?" May 08 08:58:38 what's a platform May 08 08:59:08 lbt: sorry, you called them distros: MeeGo:name-number, Maemo:Fremantle (typo, btw with Freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemantle) and Maemo:Harmattan May 08 08:59:32 i.e. if Extras:Testing is the first step on the road to Surrounds, that should be where things start getting consistent. May 08 08:59:53 I think we have 2 areas here May 08 08:59:58 Surrounds and Extras May 08 09:00:05 fairly independent May 08 09:00:15 But, as an author, I don't want to have to change my dependencies to libfoo for Maemo:Fremantle; foo for MeeGo:name-number and then submit my own package for Maemo:Harmattan. May 08 09:00:17 Extras is an app store ... as per maemo May 08 09:00:36 Ah, OK. May 08 09:00:40 Jaffa: tough May 08 09:00:48 s/Surrounds/Extras/ in my previous comment May 08 09:01:02 if you depend on a pkg which is named differently in different distros... then you have to May 08 09:01:14 lbt: Obviously for the "core" packages, that may be necessary; but for the community stuff which is in Extras May 08 09:01:33 ah... now that's where Surrounds does come in May 08 09:01:47 there is a notional promotion from Extras to Surrounds May 08 09:01:55 when multiple apps depend on something May 08 09:02:14 eg libliqbase? May 08 09:02:23 * thiago_home read "national promotion" May 08 09:02:34 i.e. gcobb packages gpe in home and that includes libfoobar. It goes into Extras:Testing. I then package myapp and package libfoobar myself as 'foobar'. When I go to Extras:Testing I should(?) have to change to using libfoobar May 08 09:03:03 lbt: Understood of big, important, useful things getting promoted from Extras to Surrounds; but what about conflicts for some tiny little library at the other end of the process? May 08 09:03:11 no... we should promote libfoobar to surrounds ASAP May 08 09:03:33 Surrounds is there to serve developers in sharing libraries May 08 09:03:38 lbt: what if Graham doesn't want to maintain libfoobar for everyone? May 08 09:03:40 lbt: OK, cool. May 08 09:04:06 well, one aspect of Surrounds is that we should ideally have a meego-surrounds team May 08 09:04:16 * Jaffa 's finsihed the rest of your text. All largely excellent which is why I'm trying to understand the detail & edge-cases :) May 08 09:04:30 thanks... me too ... it's still a draft May 08 09:04:38 BTW, I strongly think that moving from Extras:Testing to Extras:Stable should _not_ involve a rebuild. May 08 09:05:31 Something I've been less passionate about at work in the past; but given the problems I've been having recently, I'm now very much in favour of same binary in different environments :) May 08 09:06:11 mmm May 08 09:06:23 I'm on the fence over that one May 08 09:07:04 Is there a need (technical or infrastructural) for a rebuild? Is there a use-case? May 08 09:07:09 the situation here is not the same as the one being run for the entire distro internally May 08 09:07:22 which does work using rebuilds... May 08 09:09:17 I wonder if Extras should not be allowed to build against other things in Extras May 08 09:10:25 * lbt goes to edit a bit May 08 09:11:12 lbt: Only things in Surrounds? May 08 09:11:18 yes May 08 09:11:48 Wouldn't the initial bootstrap of Surrounds with useful libraries used by useful apps be slowed down? Encouraging bundling libs with other packages or even static linking? May 08 09:12:09 i.e. in the example earlier, gcobb can't submit gpe to Extras until libfoobar's made its way into Surrounds. May 08 09:12:17 correct May 08 09:12:26 That might not be a bad thing overall, but could be frustrating for hobbyist devs May 08 09:12:56 how would you expect that to work in Ubuntu ? May 08 09:13:43 I dunno. Do they have a PPA->(uni|multi)verse process? May 08 09:13:50 ? May 08 09:13:52 dunno May 08 09:14:23 well, yes, they must May 08 09:14:58 but it may or may not be different for PPA initiated May 08 09:15:39 Indeed. May 08 09:16:00 Wonder whether they treat PPA-based packages differently for inclusion (or whether everything goes via PPA in some form) May 08 09:16:14 if we allow home: to be PPA (which it is!) then that's what you make do with until you're in Surrounds/Extras May 08 11:43:27 * lbt is wondering whether my accountant will ask why cookery books are a valid business expense.......... Python Cookbook :) May 08 11:43:55 heh May 08 11:56:52 http://wiki.maemo.org/OpenSuse_Build_Service May 08 11:57:21 OK I've rewritten much of that post into the wiki, restructured the OBS area a lot and put some draft process thoughts up there May 08 12:33:15 Wee, lots of names I've never seen before and have little to no public presence in the CWG page. . . . May 08 12:39:20 GAN900, shouldn't that be a good thing? May 08 12:39:23 ish May 08 12:57:52 GAN900: i actually recognise a fair bit of people May 08 13:48:40 http://black-flag.co.uk/files/inocent-weasel.jpg :) May 08 13:48:52 heya May 08 13:49:00 hi May 08 13:49:16 haha, that's cool. May 08 13:49:37 I can't even remember why I opened the fridge now May 08 13:52:34 ^^ May 08 13:55:41 * CosmoHill makes some tea and then will try to start his woerk May 08 13:55:42 work* May 08 13:57:10 howdy May 08 13:58:04 what work is it today, CosmoHill? May 08 13:58:36 hey slaine May 08 13:58:50 I have to do a 1000 ~ 1200 word reflective essay about working in a group May 08 14:00:23 you know everyone is going HD crazy May 08 14:00:40 there are between 3 and 43 HD channels depending on how you get them May 08 14:00:54 and I bet most of them are movies May 08 14:05:28 could be worse May 08 14:05:39 could be like here: there are less than 10 and all of them are useless May 08 14:05:42 nothing interesting May 08 14:05:52 I don't even get HD here. May 08 14:05:53 :) May 08 14:05:59 We got HD for xmas May 08 14:06:38 37" Sony HDTV and Sky+HD May 08 14:06:47 most of the time it's just upscaled TV May 08 14:07:30 well, we do have 2 hd tvs but unfortunately the dvb-c we've got isn't working properly. May 08 14:08:15 in my bedroom I have a 20" Dell monitor with s-video and composite May 08 14:09:01 so digital TV looks good :) May 08 14:09:14 it's SD but so much better than analgoue May 08 14:11:26 I think the next thing I'd do in my bedroom is get a new monitor / TV May 08 14:12:08 hmmmm May 08 14:12:19 brand new, my hifi is worth more than my car :/ May 08 14:12:54 CosmoHill: Looking at getting same TV May 08 14:13:19 I think the model we have is £300 cheaper now May 08 14:13:55 they drop every 6 months or so, especially as the introduce new models in late autumn May 08 14:14:13 i swear our's dropped £200 after xmas :( May 08 14:14:31 hi everybody May 08 14:17:19 I'm new with meego, and I would like to know the status of the dev actually May 08 14:18:12 i think meego 1.0 should be out this month May 08 14:18:36 oh cool. And it will be fully working for test ? May 08 14:18:50 I believe so May 08 14:19:02 the main focus of 1.0 is the core / backend May 08 14:19:08 ok May 08 14:19:16 i think it will use the moblin gui May 08 14:19:16 and netbook May 08 14:19:29 and it will work on ARM and x86 ? May 08 14:19:37 core will May 08 14:19:53 it's working now, but the handheld ux is a little behind May 08 14:20:03 that'll be out post 1.0 but pre 1.1 May 08 14:21:02 sorry but I'm a little bit new with all this stuff. The core is the system without the UI ? May 08 14:21:28 yeah, Base OS, graphics libraries etc. May 08 14:21:38 the core is the things that run in the background / the background May 08 14:21:47 like the kernel and other software packages May 08 14:22:03 ok. So the 1.0 version will have juste de core ? May 08 14:22:43 in short, there's nothing useful to see yet, there's going to be a release at the end of may, targeted at x86 netbooks I reckon with an ARM handheld ux release hopefully not long after May 08 14:23:53 ok May 08 14:24:10 and can we get involved in this project May 08 14:24:38 you can get involved now if you're into the base os May 08 14:25:04 download the images, tools, make an image, test it out, submit bugs, patches etc. May 08 14:25:18 ok but what I need to test ? May 08 14:25:41 that depends on your capabilities May 08 14:25:45 what can you do ? May 08 14:27:07 that's a good question :D. I would like to test an image and to report bug but do I need a specific hardware ? May 08 14:27:38 erm May 08 14:27:48 there's x86 and arm builds, check out meego.com/downloads May 08 14:27:49 have they dropped the SSSE3 requirment? May 08 14:27:54 No May 08 14:27:57 :( May 08 14:28:01 and they won't May 08 14:28:13 we'll have to make our own generic x86 build with obs May 08 14:28:20 obs? May 08 14:28:48 CosmoHill, what rock and where? May 08 14:28:55 http://build.meego.com/ May 08 14:29:21 GAN900: the third rock from the sun May 08 14:29:29 God I hated that show May 08 14:29:40 So 90s May 08 14:30:22 is it possible to try in a virtual system ? May 08 14:30:51 OpenSuse Build System? May 08 14:30:58 *service May 08 14:31:48 Nadley: no May 08 14:32:18 slaine: so I need physical hardware :s May 08 14:32:32 Nadley: best advice right now if you're serious is to hang out here as often as possible and get to know what's going on and who's who May 08 14:32:58 There's no release that's usable to general public. There's base os stuff that's useful for some developers May 08 14:33:12 ok May 08 14:33:34 once 1.0 is done and they've had their initial release, then we'll be in a better position to contribute May 08 14:34:02 slaine: is it just the kernel that wants SSSE3 or a lot more packages? May 08 14:34:35 CosmoHill: anything that does any kind of FP work May 08 14:34:44 hmm May 08 14:34:50 it's gcc compiler option for everything May 08 14:37:25 then again atom does make sense considering the low power devices they're targetting May 08 14:37:45 and that there's no real competition on that side amd-wise i guess May 08 14:38:40 is there a u-boot rpm in meego already ? May 08 14:42:20 not yet, also, u-boot needs various configurations? May 08 14:43:21 true - atm its more "u-boot mkimage" ;) May 08 14:44:11 creating a mkimage package ... May 08 14:48:19 isnt there a u-boot successor? May 08 14:51:42 there're boards using it, so anyway May 08 14:53:08 there's no kernel-devel (kernel source) package in the spec for n900 flavour - or am i wrong ? May 08 14:56:52 "Apple PowerBook G4 non-intel version" May 08 14:56:55 stupid topic May 08 14:57:20 it can't be G# and intel May 08 14:58:24 Hey, that topic was set by the department of redundancy department, who set the topic! May 08 14:58:42 http://www.computeraudiophile.com/content/Apple-PowerBook-G4-non-intel-version May 08 14:58:44 i found it here May 08 14:58:49 *giggles* :) May 08 14:59:12 well, it has the word "audiophile" in the address, that instantly makes it useless ;) May 08 15:36:12 * CosmoHill is doing anything but his work May 08 15:36:24 isn't it Saturday? May 08 15:36:33 He's a student.

May 08 18:43:30 because those aren't stamps May 08 18:50:34 lcuk: how good do you know qt? May 08 18:50:39 (the c++ side) May 08 18:50:56 or just another question: why does qt creator encourage such ... weird programming style... May 08 18:50:58 TSCHAKeee, haha, no. I'm listening to some zappa May 08 18:51:06 th0br0, qt is just a library and im learning it in my own way May 08 18:51:09 th0br0: example ? May 08 18:51:17 slaine: well, ever tried storing your sources in multiple dirs? May 08 18:51:21 slaine: ;) May 08 18:51:28 i haven't succeeded at that yet tbh. May 08 18:51:29 i was listening to Sheik Yerbouti earlier May 08 18:51:30 th0br0: with multiple make files? May 08 18:52:00 th0br0: do you mean like, a source dir, a headers sir, a resource dir ? May 08 18:52:02 th0br0, multi folders are all right where required i used to manage a system with lots and lots of folders May 08 18:52:04 th0br0: I don't think QtCreator is a particularly good IDE May 08 18:52:18 * CosmoHill sticks with vim May 08 18:52:20 the thing i dislike is split headers/code files in any language May 08 18:52:22 slaine: true. but the msvs addin only supports the non-express version May 08 18:52:30 i come from vb world nowadays May 08 18:52:32 lcuk: oh it's very practical for interfaces. May 08 18:52:37 th0br0: the what now ? May 08 18:52:38 i know its reasoning May 08 18:52:44 CosmoHill: further differentiate between various sub parts ... May 08 18:52:45 i just dislike how verbose i have to be May 08 18:52:53 slaine: microsoft visual studio addin. May 08 18:52:58 it makes adhoc coding harder May 08 18:53:02 * slaine gets sick into his mouth May 08 18:53:04 could you give me a name of a qt file so I can see if it's installed on my mac May 08 18:53:05 the msvs express version is just a cut down, free one. May 08 18:53:31 CosmoHill: I think that all Qt apps package Qt anew. THat's why they're so big May 08 18:54:39 I, personally, don't think that OSX is a particular good system for developing on. May 08 18:55:01 oh god May 08 18:55:09 qt creator reminds me of flash May 08 18:55:18 slaine: THE WHITE ZONE...IS FOR LOADING....AND UNLOADING.... May 08 18:55:27 ^^ CosmoHill May 08 18:55:30 THIS IS...THE CENTRAL...SCRUTINIZER..... May 08 18:55:33 It is nasty indeed. May 08 18:55:39 * CosmoHill spent 12 weeks using flash CS4 May 08 18:56:10 i hate it when lecturers go to you "you must buy this software that you probably won't use after 12 weeks" May 08 18:56:35 CosmoHill: this university is brought to you by Microsoft? :P May 08 18:56:50 and Adobe May 08 18:56:53 Billy had two big caves for eyes. And a cliff for a jaw that would go up and down. And when ever it did, he would hack up a bolder May 08 18:57:00 MS is fine, we don't pay for that May 08 18:57:16 but being told you have to spend at least £150 on software is not a good start to the semester May 08 18:57:23 also being told that it doesn't work on mac is bad May 08 18:57:28 but i have a windows laptop now :) May 08 18:57:37 this in addition to tuition May 08 18:57:42 don't worry, It also have RHEL 6 Beta :) May 08 18:57:42 which i always found to be fucking hilarious May 08 18:58:11 TSCHAKeee: if it were, they'd be getting the software for free May 08 18:58:22 CosmoHill: what kind of software? May 08 18:58:30 for uni? May 08 18:58:35 yes. May 08 18:58:39 what software did you have to buy May 08 18:58:53 Adobe Fireworks Pro and UML Studio 7 May 08 18:59:00 are you kidding? May 08 18:59:08 no May 08 18:59:13 First of all, UML Studio is idiotic. May 08 18:59:14 yeah no kidding, who actually uses UML? :P May 08 18:59:16 I paid extra and got a bundle May 08 18:59:21 I mean, there are enough free alternatives out there. May 08 18:59:36 And what do you need Adobe Fireworks for? May 08 18:59:39 the bundle is cheaper than any two products inside it May 08 18:59:47 Flash May 08 18:59:50 * May 08 18:59:57 http://www.pragsoft.com/ << are we talking about this uml studio? May 08 19:00:03 yes May 08 19:00:09 omfg. May 08 19:00:19 boy, that's a nice little ass raping May 08 19:00:20 TSCHAKeee: I've worked in hell wholes where people designed programs with UML and handed off pieces of the "model" to coders to develope May 08 19:00:21 Honestly... May 08 19:00:23 when i say buy, i mean "acquire" May 08 19:00:30 I wonder how much money that professor earns from each bundle bought this way May 08 19:00:43 they get nothing May 08 19:00:53 s/wholes/holes/ May 08 19:00:53 slaine meant: TSCHAKeee: I've worked in hell holes where people designed programs with UML and handed off pieces of the "model" to coders to develope May 08 19:00:54 But for such crappy software (by the looks of their webpage..) May 08 19:01:07 what I hate is we are taught to use a model that isn't default on anything May 08 19:01:12 so you end up making a custom model anyway May 08 19:01:23 That's college for you May 08 19:01:34 I was taught COBOL and RPG ffs May 08 19:01:39 No, learning to do interfaces is a good thing. May 08 19:01:51 but you need college because HR hires people with those thick pieces of paper :P May 08 19:02:02 I also have Windows Server 2008 running MSSQL 2008, I also use Visio 2007, Project 2007 and 2010 and VS2010 May 08 19:02:08 plus two copies on windows May 08 19:02:10 TSCHAKeee: I disagree May 08 19:02:12 But you get them for free via MSDNAA right? May 08 19:02:15 at a grand cost of £00.00 :D May 08 19:03:18 if I use QT LGPL I'd have to share my source code? May 08 19:03:30 why not get VS2008 tho? May 08 19:03:33 When I once used VS2010 it sucked.. May 08 19:03:34 yes...yes you do...cough it up bitch May 08 19:03:38 kidding May 08 19:03:40 CosmoHill: uh, no. May 08 19:03:40 ;) May 08 19:03:53 hehehehe May 08 19:03:55 th0br0: I have 2005 express and I needed a pro feature May 08 19:04:00 mh. May 08 19:04:01 CosmoHill, ? lgpl can be linked to closed code May 08 19:04:06 my friend had the installer on his laptop May 08 19:04:11 so it was the easiest to get May 08 19:04:31 mhk May 08 19:04:43 (it's a damn 3GB file :o) May 08 19:04:51 gpl is kind of an cancer May 08 19:04:55 not true surfa May 08 19:05:07 very true actually May 08 19:05:19 no. why do you think that gpl is a cancer? May 08 19:05:50 think how cancer works? May 08 19:06:16 * CosmoHill gets his stuck hamster out of the kitchen May 08 19:06:34 once you get it, you never completely get rid of it an eventually it kills you May 08 19:06:50 * TSCHAK2 rolls his fucking eyes. May 08 19:07:12 Surfa, go away. May 08 19:07:20 gpl as such is something that has nothing attractive as a license May 08 19:07:47 No trolling May 08 19:07:53 why? because i've been workin with licenses and know what i'm talking about May 08 19:08:17 go away. May 08 19:08:21 Surfa, you're trolling. May 08 19:08:27 GAN900: i second that. May 08 19:08:30 no i'm not May 08 19:08:38 somebody want to boot this guy? May 08 19:08:42 Surfa: GPL's good part is that you have to share your changes. May 08 19:08:44 correct what was wrong May 08 19:08:48 And now please return to QNet May 08 19:09:08 good thing? May 08 19:09:35 Surfa, the advantages of the GPL....and the sheer flaws of your absurd assumption have been pointed out many times over....elsewher.e May 08 19:09:40 hey everyone, check this out: http://cosmo1847.co.uk/blog_images/freddy.jpg May 08 19:09:44 Surfa, you will not find any friends, expressing it here... May 08 19:09:53 Surfa, not will you find ANYONE willing to debate it. May 08 19:09:58 how is that good? almost anyone wanting to make money with innovations see gpl as attractive as cancer May 08 19:10:12 Surfa, so please. unless you have something CONSTRUCTIVE to contribute May 08 19:10:16 bsd licenses are much better in almost any way May 08 19:10:17 Surfa, GO AWAY. May 08 19:10:29 calm down guys, don't feed the troll and use your ignores 'til someone with op can deal with it May 08 19:10:59 Stskeeps: you there? May 08 19:11:12 well.. constructive discussion is just to tell to go away? very interesting view of discussion May 08 19:11:23 CosmoHill: what's that, your dinner ? May 08 19:11:30 Surfa, it's offtopic May 08 19:11:33 he's my hamster :D May 08 19:11:38 Surfa, why are you here? it is off topic. May 08 19:11:46 Don't feed the trolls, GAN900, TSCHAK2 May 08 19:11:56 CosmoHill: nom nom, hamster, hmmmm May 08 19:11:57 * TSCHAK2 just flips on ignore May 08 19:12:00 :) May 08 19:12:00 :o May 08 19:12:03 lol May 08 19:12:32 feed the troll :D.. just before i said anything last lines were about lgpl and closed source code May 08 19:13:04 if anyone wants to have closed code bsd licenses are way best licenses that there are May 08 19:14:01 and gpl is really referred as a cancer in many places.. it's not my own invention May 08 19:14:19 no matter if you like it or not May 08 19:14:29 well yes, greedy people will insult something that hasma price they don't like May 08 19:14:33 you guys like LiMo? May 08 19:14:49 LiMo is not open whatsoever May 08 19:15:01 really? May 08 19:15:05 really May 08 19:15:18 platform is open to members only May 08 19:15:18 ml-mobile, gpl nature is such unattractive for most companies that it's kind of sad May 08 19:15:31 Surfa: mind that you have not brought ANY arguments so far to substantiate your claims. May 08 19:15:40 min member fee is $10K, distribution license is $100K May 08 19:15:40 Besides, take a look at Red Hat. It is very attractive for them. May 08 19:16:12 th0br0, read the lines again and think the terms of gpl and you should see the connection.. really May 08 19:16:29 Surfa: i asked you a question which i have not received a clear answer to May 08 19:16:33 typing details with n900 is too painful May 08 19:16:35 the terms of the GPL are clear, and only annoys the greedy May 08 19:16:48 th0br0, what was the question? May 08 19:17:06 I asked you to substantiate your claims. May 08 19:17:09 * lcuk just wrote something using the "DO WHAT YOU WANT TO PUBLIC LICENSE" :) May 08 19:17:13 Besides, you're using irssi right now. May 08 19:17:20 Stop using it if you hate the GPL May 08 19:17:24 ml-mobile, annoys and makes possible innovators go away May 08 19:17:36 then they can go away May 08 19:17:46 Surfa, theres plenty of innovation in gpl land May 08 19:17:48 if they don't want to play ball May 08 19:17:56 True innovators don't care about profit. May 08 19:18:02 and i'd rather innovation made in the open remains in the open May 08 19:18:07 lcuk, never said there wasn't.. but could be even more May 08 19:18:17 then get off your asses and share code May 08 19:18:29 they probably can't May 08 19:18:34 because they don't have any May 08 19:18:35 ml-mobile: LiMo is not open to end user? May 08 19:18:36 :o May 08 19:18:38 :) May 08 19:18:49 lcuk, sharing innovations may be done also without publishing whole source May 08 19:19:02 centoslinux: correct, the LiMo userland is explicitly not open May 08 19:19:11 ml-mobile: how can they do that? May 08 19:19:20 Surfa, but how does that help people May 08 19:19:24 by writing theor own code ? May 08 19:19:26 simple, it's not gpl or bsd May 08 19:19:32 if the inovation isnt published and open how can people build on it May 08 19:19:36 mh ml-mobile May 08 19:20:07 though there's probably BSD code locked up in it May 08 19:20:22 th0br0, hate is too strong word.. i don't hate it, but see it as unattractive for most of things i'd like to do May 08 19:20:39 Surfa: I never used the word "hate" May 08 19:20:43 Ah I did May 08 19:20:44 my bad. May 08 19:20:51 th0br0, yes you did :) May 08 19:20:52 What are those things you'd like to do? May 08 19:20:59 Why do you see it as unattractive? May 08 19:21:08 Surfa, do you have innovations made which you want to allow people to build on? May 08 19:21:13 or are you talking in general May 08 19:21:50 lcuk, of course ideas without source code help developers, but it makes them contribute by themselves too May 08 19:22:19 but that just means people reinvent same thing? May 08 19:22:21 how so? if you don't give them any source, they don't really have some foundation to build upon May 08 19:22:23 ideas without source are useless, and makes the users dependent on the owner May 08 19:22:28 now, like i said have yougot specific things? May 08 19:22:51 lcuk, and make it possible to earn some bucks without need to open your own source May 08 19:23:05 Surfa, please answer my question May 08 19:23:14 lcuk, inventing and implementing are two different things right? May 08 19:23:15 people can make plenty living with open code May 08 19:23:23 its the person and the contributor, not their results May 08 19:25:11 ok, enough idling in the parking lot... May 08 19:25:31 too painful to discuss on n900 :) May 08 19:25:47 well a simple yes or no wouldv sufficed ;) May 08 19:25:52 i think i'll get back to tv to watch hockey May 08 19:25:55 Surfa: you are on N900? May 08 19:26:20 lcuk, ok.. what was the question? May 08 19:26:56 Surfa, "sharing innovations can be done without publishing source" - i asked whether you have innovations to share May 08 19:27:00 centoslinux, yes.. i think i told it twice May 08 19:27:10 Surfa: :) May 08 19:27:14 Surfa: finland vs denmark can hardly be worth watching? should be a walk over ;) May 08 19:27:24 lcuk, personal or business? May 08 19:27:35 Surfa, both May 08 19:27:37 any May 08 19:27:37 either May 08 19:27:39 frals, seems so.. denmark over finland :P May 08 19:27:49 lcuk, then yes :) May 08 19:27:59 i'm considering to buy N900, but should i wait until MeeGo devices comes out? May 08 19:28:18 if you need a device, no May 08 19:28:46 by when there is a need, otherwise you'll wait forever May 08 19:29:41 no, i 've two phones already, Samsung Galaxy & Nexus One May 08 19:29:57 go for it then Surfa where do you post your innovations May 08 19:30:04 no need actually, but i want a true open soruce phone May 08 19:30:07 centoslinux, I suspect, meego will try hared to be on the new atom chips May 08 19:30:10 -e May 08 19:30:16 but I dont see that happeneing May 08 19:30:26 * lcuk peeks @ LinuxCode May 08 19:30:26 the battery life would be horrid May 08 19:30:30 lcuk, allo ;-D May 08 19:31:19 hmm May 08 19:31:28 centoslinux, I will get a N900 May 08 19:31:34 it will last at least 2 years May 08 19:31:48 and maybe then, the intel atoms will be small enough to be more efficient May 08 19:32:01 unless they will also provide arm stuff May 08 19:32:10 which of course, would be nice to have choice May 08 19:32:50 hmm May 08 19:32:51 meego arm stuff? will be of course May 08 19:33:12 no snapdragon May 08 19:33:18 Surfa, can you quote ? May 08 19:33:32 be nice to have confirmation May 08 19:34:27 N900 has Cortex-A8, annoys me little May 08 19:34:41 that it doesn't have SnapDragon May 08 19:34:54 Snapdragon is so fast May 08 19:35:10 centoslinux, the way I look at it May 08 19:35:25 Im happy we have something like the N900 at all May 08 19:35:38 agree with you May 08 19:35:39 * LinuxCode waited years for a linux based mobile May 08 19:35:45 loved the N810 May 08 19:35:57 and I will happily replace the N810 with the N900 and my mobile May 08 19:36:03 ehh May 08 19:36:06 :) May 08 19:36:09 N810 + mobile with N900 May 08 19:36:09 more importantly, a (mostly) open linum mobile May 08 19:36:13 linux* May 08 19:36:23 ml-mobile, yeh, that is positive too May 08 19:36:29 if someone buys my Galaxy i'll by n900, no doubt May 08 19:36:33 TSCHAKeee: huh? May 08 19:36:34 there are many totally closed Linux phones already May 08 19:36:37 preferablly I want a device where I can do with it what I like May 08 19:36:42 distro wise May 08 19:36:45 Android fooled me to think i was having Linux mobile May 08 19:36:50 LinuxCode: there have been Linux phones for maybe a decade or more before the N900, admitedly few you could load your own kernel and os on May 08 19:36:53 th0br0: ? May 08 19:37:03 TSCHAKeee: you'll love it, it's a way of life May 08 19:37:06 bfree, I could never ever get my hands on them May 08 19:37:07 ever May 08 19:37:08 closest was the motoming A1200 May 08 19:37:18 Stskeeps: it was earlier requested that the troll, Surfa, be kicked. but he seems to have quieted down May 08 19:37:20 bfree, finsing a reseller was like finding a needle in the sun May 08 19:37:30 finding* May 08 19:37:50 question to ppl from US here: can i use US N900 here in Europe? May 08 19:37:51 * LinuxCode used to experiment with his Jornada 720 May 08 19:38:28 th0br0: fair enough, even though i don't have a high opinion of gpl myself :P (bsd licensing ftw :P) May 08 19:38:36 ^^ May 08 19:39:02 centoslinux: there's no localized N900 hardware May 08 19:40:03 DocScrutinizer: what abt 3G mhz? May 08 19:41:28 centoslinux: The N900 has all the standard worldwide WCDMA frequencies, but is missing a few weird ones used in US May 08 19:42:00 still all N900 are the same May 08 19:42:02 lbt, Stskeeps how's the community obs stuff going ? May 08 19:42:06 Stskeeps, do you use bsd for all your code? May 08 19:42:43 slaine: http://wiki.maemo.org/OpenSuse_Build_Service May 08 19:42:58 centoslinux: the SnapDragon is NOT the end all be all of ARM cores May 08 19:43:08 th0br0, :D nice attitude to say someone is a troll and reply nothing constructive either May 08 19:43:14 lcuk: when it's my own code yes May 08 19:43:17 centoslinux: the OMAP is a much...more balanced design. May 08 19:43:26 Surfa: i was trying to be constructive. i asked you to provide proof for your claims. May 08 19:43:28 Stskeeps, what did you use for the ircdoofer May 08 19:43:38 lcuk: gpl, but that was inheritance May 08 19:43:47 lbt, are you ready for me to start my testing ? May 08 19:43:52 th0br0, right.. proofs are in terms May 08 19:44:06 can someone please skullfuck Surfa? May 08 19:44:27 sigh - will you people calm down if you get a pint of good beer? May 08 19:44:27 :P May 08 19:44:34 TSCHAKeee: don't get you May 08 19:44:40 ooh... is this a bsd / gpl fight? May 08 19:44:52 centoslinux: the OMAP contains a very powerful DSP, in addition to the ARM core May 08 19:45:10 i see May 08 19:45:11 slaine: X-Fade needs to setup accounts and stuff May 08 19:45:11 :) May 08 19:45:39 centoslinux: and memory i/o between them is well balanced... so while the OMAP has less clock speed...it can do more than a snapdragon. May 08 19:45:47 centoslinux: you've spent too much time in the x86 world May 08 19:45:49 :D May 08 19:45:54 slaine: thoughts on the processes being oulined there would be good. May 08 19:46:11 i have beer already, which is nice May 08 19:46:18 centoslinux: if you really want to see the truth between the chips, go look at the data sheets, and study the differences. May 08 19:46:25 TSCHAKeee: hehe, you are right! May 08 19:46:31 Also, I should have dug up links to existing maemo QA/testing docs ... and we could look for fedora parallels too May 08 19:46:51 centoslinux: clock speed is NOT everything. May 08 19:46:58 on a sidenote, is those rpm school things taking tools like spectacle into consideration? May 08 19:47:04 TSCHAKeee: yes, but which chip will diff the datasheets quicker? May 08 19:47:09 TSCHAKeee: yeah, that true. AMD proved that May 08 19:47:11 lbt: rofl May 08 19:47:19 thats* May 08 19:47:28 and OMAP4 is turning out to be May 08 19:47:32 awesome May 08 19:47:36 Stskeeps: they should... we need guidance on best practice May 08 19:47:41 i'd like to see some real hardware using it soon. May 08 19:47:42 TSCHAKeee, nice commenting there how about constructive discussion and some license difference study for you? May 08 19:48:03 Surfa: if you want to discuss licenses without a concrete case, go to the fsf anonymous meetings May 08 19:48:05 Surfa: you are way above your pay grade here. May 08 19:48:07 gpl goes, but it doesnt make it any less cancer like license May 08 19:48:17 Surfa: and you are talking to people who know a LOT more about this, than you do May 08 19:48:22 Surfa: you should quit while you're ahead. May 08 19:48:30 he's ahead? May 08 19:48:37 oh, a head. May 08 19:48:40 TSCHAKeee: don't feed the conversation. this is comparable to a discussion on religion. noone wins. May 08 19:48:47 oh really? so how much do I know or do not know? May 08 19:48:58 Surfa: what is it you do, exactly? May 08 19:49:07 Stskeeps, well said.. :) May 08 19:49:21 licenses are like diseases and religions May 08 19:49:43 lbt, ok, I've to finish up now, but I'll read it over tomorrow and get back. from a quick glance it all looked sane May 08 19:49:43 no, disease is real religion is a delusion May 08 19:50:10 slaine: Sure... would be nice to critique it and flesh it out May 08 19:50:23 only way to make progress May 08 19:50:34 lbt, discussion on licenses is quite delusive too? or it often appears so May 08 19:50:37 right, time to put the offspring to bed, laters May 08 19:50:44 night slaine May 08 19:51:14 dl9pf: ping again... got called away, sorry. May 08 19:51:45 Surfa: what is it, you do, again? May 08 19:51:50 pong May 08 19:52:03 o/ May 08 19:52:07 TSCHAKeee, why do you take this so personally? May 08 19:52:20 just looking at crosscompile and I think you've been working on it? May 08 19:52:41 Surfa: because people like you contribute nothing to society. May 08 19:52:57 that's what you think May 08 19:53:00 right, that's it - if you want to argue, do it in private, or go to #outside May 08 19:53:01 :P May 08 19:53:13 gentlemen, could you maybe take it elsewhere? May 08 19:53:20 i'm sure you can have a intelligent conversation between you two May 08 19:53:23 I was building deb based arm pkgs dl9pf, and it needed the static packages May 08 19:53:26 no need to argue :) May 08 19:53:53 i'm not personally insulted.. so all is just fine May 08 19:54:05 no, it's not May 08 19:54:20 Surfa: you are pissing off people in here, for no constructive purpose. May 08 19:54:21 dl9pf: is that new? May 08 19:54:24 right, so let's leave this be and let's get back to discussing cross compilation, architectures and bacon May 08 19:54:25 Surfa: GO AWAY. May 08 19:54:31 yes, any statically compiled bash/mount will do May 08 19:54:43 TSCHAKeee: calm down. May 08 19:54:56 * TSCHAKeee takes a xanax. May 08 19:54:58 * DocScrutinizer suggests temporary +q May 08 19:55:02 for now, we need these . removing this dependency is work for after 1.8 May 08 19:55:16 dl9pf: OK - just checking. Not noticed needing it before May 08 19:55:24 what's up May 08 19:55:28 then it was buggy before ... May 08 19:55:32 or didn't work May 08 19:55:38 now i made my mind up to N900!!! May 08 19:55:43 this is simple deb/arm building May 08 19:55:46 how much is N900 in Canada? May 08 19:55:50 chroot ? May 08 19:55:54 yes May 08 19:56:01 ok, then its overkill, right May 08 19:56:01 or it could be that the VMs had it installed May 08 19:56:14 I'm using uber-minimal installs now :) May 08 19:56:16 for chroot its overkill, for VM its mandatory May 08 19:56:22 i still can't see a reason why these discussions are always taken so personally.. but perhaps we should quit anyway.. May 08 19:56:37 * Surfa offers handshake for TSCHAKeee May 08 19:57:03 it appeared to be tested for in the build... OK... so long as it's known behaviour :) May 08 19:57:22 lbt: quick question, did you back up the factory image on your joggler? May 08 19:57:39 make up with Surfa first May 08 19:58:23 * Stskeeps glares at gcc May 08 19:58:25 * TSCHAKeee rolls eyes. continues hacking May 08 19:58:30 is it possible to make apps with Python in N900? May 08 19:58:30 lbt: code got refractored. but we can look as its not needed in chroot mode May 08 19:58:48 centoslinux: yes May 08 19:58:58 dl9pf: OK... are you merging the arm/deb x-compile? May 08 19:59:00 it only needed for startup inside worker-vm May 08 19:59:10 ? May 08 19:59:10 deb/rpm I meant :) May 08 19:59:18 frals: cool. I can't GTK May 08 19:59:28 what do you mean ? May 08 19:59:59 I assumed this was part of the accelerated x-compile? May 08 20:00:29 or are we still on emulated gcc? May 08 20:00:58 which deb builds ? May 08 20:01:26 I'm doing deb/arm ... for fremantle maemo.org OBS May 08 20:01:52 which is why I didn't expect the need for static bash/mount May 08 20:02:05 but you said it was being refactored... May 08 20:02:12 refractoring of "build" script May 08 20:02:22 causes this May 08 20:03:39 OK... I'll review it May 08 20:04:38 lbt paste your version of common_functions May 08 20:06:40 http://pastie.org/951752 May 08 20:08:13 is_emulator_arch || return May 08 20:08:14 if [ -z "$VM_TYPE" ]; then May 08 20:08:14 return 0 May 08 20:08:14 fi May 08 20:08:14 # to run the qemu initialization in the XEN chroot, we need to register it with a statically build shell May 08 20:08:33 yeah, makes sense May 08 20:08:35 insert this May 08 20:10:01 in case - just try "build" from git head May 08 20:10:11 *nod* May 08 20:11:05 i've symlinked it to my git working directory :P May 08 20:11:22 :) me too for my desktop May 08 20:11:28 this is the maemo.org OBS May 08 20:11:36 it's running 1.7.3 May 08 20:36:32 son of a table May 08 20:36:34 * CosmoHill stabs May 08 20:36:50 CosmoHill, why did you just stab the nightstand?
