Apr 02 03:37:37 * eno just got ocaml cross compiled, based on http://wiki.chumby.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Ocaml
Apr 02 03:37:47 <eno> now to automate
Apr 02 04:30:54 <CIA-22> 03rwhitby * r8118 10optware/trunk/make/perltgd.mk: perltgd: Updated to 1.0BetaN
Apr 02 06:07:55 <CIA-22> 03rwhitby * r8119 10optware/trunk/ (5 files in 2 dirs): lighttpd: Added support for client certificates
Apr 02 06:12:58 <CIA-22> 03rwhitby * r8120 10optware/trunk/ (make/toppyweb.mk sources/toppyweb/config.ini): toppyweb: add conffile entry for config.ini
Apr 02 06:13:29 <CIA-22> 03rwhitby * r8121 10optware/trunk/ (make/stunnel.mk sources/stunnel/prerm): stunnel: Fixed prerm
Apr 02 07:06:06 <larry1981> Hi, anyone could help me choose the firmware to install on my NSLU2 ?
Apr 02 07:06:44 <larry1981> What is best between Angstrom and SlugOS ?
Apr 02 07:18:04 <rwhitby> larry1981: have you read the article which compares the 5 firmware distributions for the NSLU2?
Apr 02 07:31:03 <larry1981> rwhitby: on slug-firmware.net ?
Apr 02 07:32:06 <rwhitby> yes
Apr 02 07:32:31 <larry1981> rwhitby: Yes I did, but I don't know what to choose between SlugOS or Anstrom
Apr 02 07:32:47 <rwhitby> the choice between slugos and angstrom is easy.  Do you have a serial port?
Apr 02 07:32:52 <larry1981> no
Apr 02 07:33:08 <rwhitby> If not, then use SlugOS, cause you currently need one to set the initial ssh password on angstrom
Apr 02 07:33:31 <larry1981> ok... so the choice was not hard ;)
Apr 02 07:33:52 <larry1981> I am using openwrt for now and am unable to use squid onit so I need to change for another firmware and test if it works
Apr 02 07:35:43 <larry1981> Unless you recommand Debian... but I think it will be very slow and a long work to setup
Apr 02 07:36:51 <rwhitby> The original article is at http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.misc.nslu2.linux/20610
Apr 02 07:37:10 <rwhitby> why does squid not work on openwrt?
Apr 02 07:37:55 <rwhitby> (BTW, squid is not in the feeds for slugos, so you'd need to compile it yourself)
Apr 02 07:38:55 <larry1981> ok but why is it available for OpenWRT if it is not working at all ?
Apr 02 07:39:43 <rwhitby> availability of a package is dependent on it compiling, not necessarily working.  the people providing openwrt packages for the nslu2 don't have the time or inclination to test them all - that's your job ;-)
Apr 02 07:40:01 <rwhitby> have you raised a bug report in the openwrt bug tracker?
Apr 02 07:40:17 <larry1981> not yet...
Apr 02 07:41:21 <larry1981> on the Debian/NSLU2 you wrote that applications are not compiled for the NSLU2 device... so does that mean that most of the 10000 packages won't work well on my unit ?
Apr 02 07:42:49 <CIA-22> 03rwhitby * r8122 10optware/trunk/ (make/perltgd.mk sources/perltgd/perltgd.settings): perltgd: Added puppy grabber alternative
Apr 02 07:43:08 <rwhitby> larry1981: it means that they have been compiled for desktop machines.
Apr 02 07:43:31 <rwhitby> (i.e. which usually have more than 32MB of ram)
Apr 02 07:43:57 <rwhitby> if you only run one package, it probably won't matter.  if you want to run quite a few packages, it will make a difference.
Apr 02 07:45:06 <larry1981> ok i see
Apr 02 07:45:22 <larry1981> and last question.. is it better to use little endian or big endian on the NSLU2 ?
Apr 02 07:51:16 <rwhitby> depends on which apps you want to use.
Apr 02 07:51:57 <rwhitby> (BTW, I have added squid to the list of packages for slugos - the autobuilder should build it overnight)
Apr 02 07:52:32 <larry1981> ok, i'll give slugos a try then ;-)
Apr 02 11:37:54 <mwester-laptop> squid?  With 32MB of memory?  Really?
Apr 02 12:02:45 <larry1981> mwester: 32 mb of memory + 500MB of swap ;-)
Apr 02 14:11:54 <larry1981> mwester-laptop: I am using an external HDD... I run a very compact 1GB hard drive to provide additionnal storage to my NSLU2 and a big swap to be sure I never run out of memory. Squid not be a problem to run on a slug
Apr 02 14:12:32 <larry1981> mwester-laptop: I am talking about a readl HDD, not a memory stick... here is the HDD I am using: http://www.z-cyber.net/Products/ZlingDrive.htm
Apr 02 17:51:20 <HRH_H_Crab> hi
Apr 02 17:51:35 <HRH_H_Crab> is anyone able to give me a few pointers about using apex-env?
Apr 02 21:06:22 <CIA-22> 03bzhou * r8123 10optware/trunk/ (3 files in 2 dirs): ocaml: cross built (bytecode version only)
Apr 02 23:19:07 <sjmac> \quit
Apr 02 23:34:07 <CIA-22> 03bzhou * r8124 10optware/trunk/ (make/openssl.mk sources/openssl/Configure-O3-to-O2.patch): openssl: lower optimization from -O3 to -O2 on dns323, http://forum.dsmg600.info/viewtopic.php?pid=12932#p12932
Apr 03 00:15:10 <CIA-22> 03rwhitby * r8125 10optware/trunk/ (make/mt-daapd.mk sources/mt-daapd/prerm): mt-daapd: Fixed the prerm script
Apr 03 00:59:36 <edmondsc> testing the log
Apr 03 00:59:41 <edmondsc> hello g11_rbot
Apr 03 00:59:59 <edmondsc> g11_rbot: hello
Apr 03 01:02:53 <edmondsc> g11_rbot: edmondsc?
