**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Apr 08 02:59:57 2007 Apr 08 02:59:59 can't quite get their goal - is it a remote server triggered by the USB hotplug? Apr 08 03:00:40 it's a combined serial and power control board Apr 08 03:00:48 through a single USB device connection Apr 08 03:01:02 you drop dtr to power cycle the slug Apr 08 03:01:25 ah gotcha... pretty neat! so whoever said that RS232 is dead :-) Apr 08 03:01:28 they put a miniUSB connected on the case. I think they power the slug through that connector too Apr 08 03:01:56 I see that. It might not have enough current for 2A draw but if no other devices plugged in, should be okay. Apr 08 03:02:43 (BTW the "make slugosbe" is working away) Apr 08 03:03:31 there was a better page at http://www.netux.com.au/nslu2/ Apr 08 03:03:43 but he's rejigged his site - I've asked him for a new URL Apr 08 03:03:57 that is pretty nifty about the tftp server, nfs server automatically changes based on UID Apr 08 03:04:06 if slugosle builds, then slugosbe is guaranteed to build too Apr 08 03:04:47 cool, so does that mean I should be able to build APEX as well, provided I get the sources? Apr 08 03:05:12 http://lists.linux.org.au/archives/linux-aus/2006-November/msg00032.html Apr 08 03:06:22 once you have build slugosle and slugosbe, check out our kernel svn repo into /home/slug/kernel, and then add /home/slug/slugosle/tmp/cross/bin and /home/slug/slugosbe/tmp/cross/bin to your path. then you can build all our bleeding edge kernel and apex stuff Apr 08 03:06:53 svn co http://svn.nslu2-linux.org/svnroot/kernel/trunk /home/slug/kernel Apr 08 03:08:51 thanks - gonna try that after build finishes. Apr 08 03:08:58 RobNC: http://www.flickr.com/photos/iwienand/sets/72157594360905262/ is pictures of the slug board Apr 08 03:10:58 mighty tight fit in the case!! Apr 08 03:11:32 is this b/c it's always easier to develop and test on the same platform? Apr 08 03:11:39 I'm going to see if he'll send me a board. Apr 08 03:11:54 No, I'm pretty sure they still cross compile for it. Apr 08 03:12:38 but it's gotta be a lot easier than having to power cycle and have the case open all the time (as in my case) Apr 08 03:14:19 I have a serial controlled relay box which I use to power cycle my development boxes - just put the 5V and 12V for different devices through the 8 relays. Apr 08 03:14:46 http://www.flickr.com/photos/rwhitby/ Apr 08 03:16:30 that's pretty nice. Are those serial relay boxes cheap? Apr 08 03:19:25 about that svn yada yada - is it necessary to have a user "slug" or is it just some place that is consistent across distributions? Apr 08 03:19:46 http://www.kitsrus.com/pdf/k108.pdf Apr 08 03:20:09 RobNC: I just use /home/slug as the canonical place to house all the build stuff. It can be any user (except root) Apr 08 03:21:30 rwhitby: makes sense. I had put the stuff in /usr/src (b/c that's the "RedHat" flavor of doing things) Apr 08 03:22:06 the serial box was about AUD$100 I think Apr 08 03:22:24 ka6sox bought one for our core team development test rig Apr 08 03:22:38 so he would know a US place to purchase it Apr 08 03:25:23 that's not unreasonable. sometimes running automated tests at work, it would have been nice to be able to power cycle the device instead of drive in to work :-) Apr 08 03:39:30 wow talk about a FAT development... /usr/src/NSLU2/slug]$ du -s . => 5585908 . (5.5GiB!) Apr 08 03:42:27 OE gets kickbacks from Seagate. ;-) Apr 08 03:42:50 Heh!! Apr 08 03:46:11 They are getting bigger kickbacks from Microsoft (aka Bloatware) Apr 08 14:06:52 NAiL: I found out what's wrong with libtool Apr 08 14:07:05 see my comments in #oe Apr 08 14:24:14 NAiL: As I mentioned in #oe, the issue I'm seeing was resovled several months back, here: http://bugs.openembedded.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1157 Apr 08 14:25:12 NAiL: it appears though that slugos-3.10-beta does not use the new recipe file. It appears the above patch was applied without increment the recipe revision Apr 08 16:02:28 hillct: thanks Apr 08 16:02:28 03nail 07slugos-3.10-beta * r419 10slugos/openembedded/packages/libtool/libtool-native_1.5.10.bb: libtool-native: Pull patch from oebug 1157, and bump PR Apr 08 16:03:08 it was a LONG path to realizing what te hell was going on there Apr 08 16:03:25 I should have diff'd those as a first step Apr 08 16:03:32 anyway, thanks Apr 08 16:03:38 np Apr 08 16:05:02 what's the preferred recipe file naming for dealing with packaging specific svn revisions of a particular software package?
