**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Aug 09 23:59:56 2005 Aug 10 00:48:31 anyone else get "user.debug kernel: x1205_sync_rtc exit (failed to get date)" in dmesg? Aug 10 02:02:17 good morning all Aug 10 02:17:56 maybe I should simply tunr off kernel debugging Aug 10 02:18:06 NSLU2 & a 1GHz Cross-compile PC arrived today Aug 10 02:18:11 time to get testing Aug 10 02:44:00 typing 'make' without argument in a dir with the master makefile, is that bad? Aug 10 02:44:43 no, that's exactly how you build absolutely everything Aug 10 02:45:10 openslug, ucslugc, unslung, optware/nslu2, optware/wl500g. You've got a long wait ahead of you :-) Aug 10 02:46:48 did I mention I did that on my slug? Aug 10 02:47:14 oh, in that case it will just build openslug-native if you're running it on an openslug slug. Aug 10 02:47:29 or optware/nslu2 if you're running it on an unslung slug Aug 10 02:47:35 the makefile knows all :-) Aug 10 02:47:39 very cool Aug 10 02:51:17 we need to put a CVSDATE on ipkg-utils, cause it's rebuilding every day ... Aug 10 02:52:23 rwhitby: its also the top item being pulled from sources.nslu2-linux.org . Aug 10 02:52:29 (top source item) Aug 10 02:52:59 The Makefile is our master. Aug 10 02:53:03 Master Makefile. :-) Aug 10 02:53:35 99% of all floating _cvs packages need a fixed cvsdate .bb Aug 10 02:53:54 dyoung: what's next after it on the hit parade? Aug 10 02:55:00 (second top source item) Aug 10 02:55:02 quilt, then libc Aug 10 02:55:30 the ports_sources, config_savannah , then a differnt CVS dated ipkg-utils. Aug 10 03:04:41 i just ran a make update and make open-slug after 3 weeks Aug 10 03:04:49 wasn't toooo bad.. in terms of wait. Aug 10 03:09:07 300 revs i n? Aug 10 03:09:11 400 maybe? Aug 10 03:10:00 600 Aug 10 03:10:07 holy cow. Aug 10 03:10:12 what was that a, like 90min? Aug 10 03:10:18 hours. Aug 10 03:10:28 i'm running in vmware on a P4 3ghz Aug 10 03:12:06 Owwie. Aug 10 03:14:03 now if i have a new openslug image do i need to flash that? or can i upgrade from linux itself? Aug 10 03:16:27 you can probably use reflash Aug 10 03:16:39 reflash -i for the whole image. Aug 10 03:17:12 ther eis also -k and -j for kernel and jffs2 components only. Aug 10 03:17:35 if you havnt flashed for at least 2 weeks, you probably want the whole image; and you'll probably need to re-turnup it. Aug 10 03:18:09 ok. Aug 10 03:18:24 anything new in the last 2-3 weeks? Aug 10 03:22:29 Hmm, I think there was quite a bit. Aug 10 03:22:53 for serious changes, the clock tick adjustment was pretty big Aug 10 03:23:08 k Aug 10 03:23:48 You can view the changes online. Aug 10 03:23:52 what was that link..... Aug 10 03:24:20 http://monotone.vanille.de/viewmtn/ Aug 10 03:27:34 so monotone is used to hold all the bb files and configurations specific to nslu? Aug 10 03:30:58 amongst other platforms. Aug 10 03:31:20 koen, do you know offhand how many supported devices are in OE ? Aug 10 03:31:36 20 - 30 Aug 10 03:31:45 there you have it. :-) Aug 10 03:32:00 thanks koen, I was wondering that earlier today too. Aug 10 03:33:15 there are 54 machine descriptions on conf/machine, but with some duplication (2.4,2.6, etc) Aug 10 03:52:36 root@fireslug:/home/slug/build/ifupdown-0.6.5# ping6 www.kame.net Aug 10 03:52:36 PING www.kame.net (2001:200:0:8002:203:47ff:fea5:3085): 56 data bytes Aug 10 03:52:36 64 bytes from 2001:200:0:8002:203:47ff:fea5:3085: icmp6_seq=0 ttl=48 time=491.4 ms Aug 10 03:52:38 dyoung: from now on, an ipkg upgrade on the external disk, then a reflash -i new-image should be the preferred upgrade path. Aug 10 03:52:40 woohoo! Aug 10 03:56:08 cool Aug 10 03:58:16 jbowler's reflash-foo is even more awesome than my makefile-foo :-) Aug 10 03:58:32 Jbowler is the man Aug 10 03:58:54 his script-fu is... Awesome. Aug 10 03:59:11 hes like in the 37th level of script-olin Aug 10 03:59:13 Indeed. As far as OpenSlug development goes, he has left us nslu2-linux old-timers in his dust ... Aug 10 03:59:45 Yup. I'm only good for trailblazing, Aug 10 04:00:32 dyoung trailblazing-foo is known across the SlugNation ... Aug 10 04:00:50 can I request for ifupdown to be included in openslug-packages? Aug 10 04:01:57 koen: I think that at this stage, if *you* want to add something to openslug-packages, then just go and add it. You'd be far better at OpenEmbedded-wrangling than we are. Aug 10 04:02:17 rwhitby: ok, will look into it Aug 10 04:02:24 * koen doesn't want to break anything Aug 10 04:02:38 I doubt you will. Aug 10 04:02:44 nlu2-linux is run as a Meritocracy. If you have shown that you know how to do something, (and more importantly know how to fix it if it goes wrong), then you get to just do it :-) Aug 10 04:03:27 rwhitby: did any of that ctrlproxy stuff work? Aug 10 04:03:56 dyoung: must admit that I haven't tried yet. I got sidetracked by something last night and I forget what it was. Aug 10 04:04:29 that's right - I upgraded HomeSlug. Aug 10 04:10:35 g'day DaKa2 Aug 10 04:12:58 dyoung: is ctrlproxy in a feed ? ipkgfind doesn't know about it Aug 10 04:14:46 * koen tries a testbuild for ifupdown Aug 10 04:16:32 rwhitby: not yet, I didnt get around to it yet; because I had to fix the source tarball. Aug 10 04:16:58 but I got distracted from doing that when I upgraded the buildbox. Aug 10 04:17:02 I'm adding it to openslug-packages now ... Aug 10 04:17:07 wait Aug 10 04:17:09 it wont build Aug 10 04:17:19 I'll find that out very soon then :-) Aug 10 04:17:23 it needs a update to the bb to grab the source from sources. Aug 10 04:17:26 aigh! Aug 10 04:17:30 ok... Aug 10 04:17:37 * dyoung frantically updates a bb Aug 10 04:19:03 Strangely, I thought getting a higher resolution monitor would give me more screen real estate. It just causes me to open more windows. Aug 10 04:19:10 with same net result. Aug 10 04:21:14 koen: any idea how we can stop openslug-image rebuilding every time? Aug 10 04:33:12 ctrlproxy built fine .. Aug 10 04:33:41 I jus tpushed the source fix. Aug 10 04:33:53 maybe they fixed it at the source finally? Aug 10 04:34:03 It got it from the source ... Aug 10 04:34:20 oh well. Aug 10 04:34:49 we'll need to add the sample config too after we decide what it is. Aug 10 04:36:57 rwhitby: no idea on that Aug 10 04:37:14 koen: are you familiar with oebuildstamp.bbclass ? Aug 10 04:37:21 not really Aug 10 04:37:34 It looks interesting enough to try out ... Aug 10 04:37:37 you could cache a list of versions and compare it between builds Aug 10 04:38:18 rootfs_ipk sets: Aug 10 04:38:22 do_rootfs[nostamp] = 1 Aug 10 04:38:22 do_rootfs[dirs] = ${TOPDIR} Aug 10 04:38:22 do_build[nostamp] = 1 Aug 10 04:38:28 so it's gotta be one of those. Aug 10 04:40:21 ls Aug 10 04:40:25 sigh Aug 10 04:40:30 Too many windows, Aug 10 04:42:50 get a smaller screen :-) Aug 10 04:43:55 Nah, need a bigger one. :-) Aug 10 04:43:59 Bigger is Better. Aug 10 05:42:27 how to install openssh-sshd while I'm connecting via dropbear? Aug 10 05:42:51 I'm on openslug now. Aug 10 05:48:39 zin_: very good question. Aug 10 05:49:00 via screen and with crossed finger Aug 10 05:49:07 fingers* Aug 10 05:50:22 ok, inheritiing oebuildstamp seems to stop the image rebuilding every time. Aug 10 05:51:16 so what is the answer of the good question? Aug 10 05:52:06 koen: you mean do 'ipkg install openssh-sshd' in screen? Aug 10 05:52:17 yes Aug 10 05:52:19 zin_: dunno. I hung our new openslug build slug yesterday trying to answer the question. Aug 10 05:52:21 I was about to try it myself Aug 10 05:52:32 heh Aug 10 05:53:17 but I got sidetracked trying to use irssi inside screen using an ipv6 tunnel Aug 10 05:53:46 but even if I successfully install openssh, then drobear will still be running Aug 10 05:55:06 hmm Aug 10 05:56:40 'ipkg remove dropbear ; ipkg install openssh ; reboot' inside a screen? Aug 10 05:56:59 serial console is your friend ? Aug 10 05:57:42 anyway, let me try Aug 10 05:58:13 I should go out and buy some solderwick and stuff Aug 10 05:58:35 koen, are you adding serial, or adding memory? Aug 10 05:58:44 serial Aug 10 05:59:06 cool... do you already have a adapter? Aug 10 05:59:32 you mean a usb-> serial thing? Aug 10 05:59:53 usb-serial thingo, or MAX3232 device. Aug 10 05:59:56 BTW, I can just change the dropbear startup script, let dropbear to listen on some other port than 22, then install openssh, right? Aug 10 06:00:25 that should work Aug 10 06:00:32 I should have some max232 stuff lying around Aug 10 06:00:57 koen|slug, it needs to be the 3232, the LVTTL (3.3V) version. Aug 10 06:01:12 the max232 sorta works if you power it with 3.3V, but its kinda flaky Aug 10 06:01:18 or at least mine was Aug 10 06:01:21 * koen|slug adds max3232 to the shopping list Aug 10 06:01:22 heh Aug 10 06:01:43 ~ubessa Aug 10 06:01:50 koen|slug: a pl2303 usb->serial phone data cable is much easier Aug 10 06:02:41 I'll look at the wiki to pick a cheap one Aug 10 06:03:40 koen|slug: dyoung often has some lying around :-) Aug 10 06:05:02 koen|slug: if you need a usb-serial thingo, lemme know tommrow. Aug 10 06:05:29 or mail me your info. Aug 10 06:05:34 I'm about to pass out now. ;-) Aug 10 06:06:15 :) Aug 10 06:06:19 'night dyoung-zzzz Aug 10 06:07:05 dyoung-zzzz has cornered the hawaiian market on obsolete phone data cables ... Aug 10 06:07:49 nitey. Aug 10 06:09:22 ok, I'm on openssh-sshd now. :-) Aug 10 06:09:56 zin_: wanna write up a HowTo wiki page? Aug 10 06:10:09 I just changed the dropbear port in /etc/init.d/dropbear, then reboot, then install openssh-sshd, then reboot again, then remove dropbear Aug 10 06:10:27 rwhitby: can you help to do that? Aug 10 06:10:58 zin_: just write that in http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/SwapFromDropbearToOpenSSH Aug 10 06:11:32 ok Aug 10 06:12:48 zin_: I've linked that onto the HowTo page ready for your content Aug 10 06:13:19 just click on that link, and type it in Aug 10 06:19:05 rwhitby: can you check whether you have /etc/default/dropbear? I have removed dropbear Aug 10 06:19:27 I think that is a better file to change the port number than /etc/init.d/dropbear Aug 10 06:23:00 actually, I can't. I can't get into the slug which hung, and I've already changed from dropbear to openssh on homeslug, so it no longer has dropbear on it. Aug 10 06:23:11 you could check in /initrd/etc/default/... Aug 10 06:23:29 zin_: have you typed the content in that page yet? Aug 10 06:23:52 typing now Aug 10 06:45:57 zin_: thx Aug 10 06:46:30 I upgraded to openssh without rebooting twice Aug 10 06:47:31 NAiL: I hung banana slug doing that twice :-) Aug 10 06:48:30 ctrlproxy is now in the openslug unstable feed Aug 10 06:49:05 nice Aug 10 06:49:22 now to work out init scripts and config files .... Aug 10 06:49:24 Packages are added to the feed rather fast nowadays :D Aug 10 06:50:02 usually within 15 to 30 minutes after the checkin ... Aug 10 06:50:11 any time of day or night .. Aug 10 06:51:40 now, if I only could get this library stuff to work... Aug 10 06:52:29 I'm working on getting syslog-ng to work. I want my slug to recieve the logs for all my PC's :D Aug 10 06:59:21 ctrlproxy joins ... Aug 10 06:59:43 nice Aug 10 07:16:09 is there a way to get the Disk1/Disk2 LED to work on openslug? Aug 10 07:16:31 not yet Aug 10 07:16:52 someone is working on it? Aug 10 07:17:08 not at the moment Aug 10 07:17:20 ok Aug 10 07:17:21 I don't know if there's a way to get it to work without using udev Aug 10 07:17:30 what is udev? Aug 10 07:18:25 "udev is a file system replacement for DevFS on the Linux 2.6 kernel series. " Aug 10 07:18:36 oh Aug 10 07:18:48 i though udev was "overenigneered x86 crap" Aug 10 07:19:10 With udev it's easy to identify *which* usb port stuff is plugged into, and "hotplug" the leds Aug 10 07:20:03 how does unslung controlling the LEDs? with udev? Aug 10 07:20:04 well... udev doesn't work currently. I kinda got it to work earlier Aug 10 07:20:25 I think there's some kernel patch and/or a binary Aug 10 07:20:41 I see. Aug 10 07:21:17 I haven't even looked at unslung :P Aug 10 07:21:39 Anyway, at the moment, udev doesn't work Aug 10 07:21:40 heh Aug 10 07:22:02 has someone tried udev 0.65? Aug 10 07:22:43 koen: possibly. Might be what I'm trying to run on my testslug Aug 10 07:23:29 NOTE: package udev-065: completed Aug 10 07:23:49 how's udev development going? Aug 10 07:24:05 the udev people want to kill hotplug Aug 10 07:24:15 they say you can do the same with udev rules Aug 10 07:24:24 blaster8: not progressing at the moment, afaik Aug 10 07:24:34 and I'm probably the only one working with it ;) Aug 10 07:24:40 koen: yeah Aug 10 07:26:21 blaster8: feel free to start hacking udev ;-) Aug 10 07:27:02 unfortunately, hacking udev means hacking the nslu2 tools afaik Aug 10 07:27:15 and that's not something I'm really willing to do right now :) Aug 10 07:27:24 best to use them at least once first Aug 10 07:27:29 ;) Aug 10 07:32:49 What is a "netlink daemon"? Aug 10 07:35:07 I need more slugs ;) Aug 10 07:35:16 or.. I need more memory on my slugs Aug 10 07:39:03 night all Aug 10 08:00:51 koen: ping Aug 10 08:01:12 pong Aug 10 08:32:16 NAiL, actually, I've been using udev for quite a few months so you are not alone. Aug 10 08:32:44 You can control the LEDs and Buzzer with a little C code. Aug 10 08:33:01 I do both on my roboSlug Aug 10 09:07:54 Hi NAiL and VoodooZ_Work, I'm trying to support hanjo with the wireless sensor network. Thus I made first experiences with udev. Aug 10 09:09:56 Do you have any idea, why it starts working, only I after I start udev manually an re-plug one of the attached usb-devices? Aug 10 09:12:09 What I am doing: 1. boot 2. udevd& 3.unplug a node 4. plug the node 5.now I get the symlinks in /dev generated by my rule Aug 10 09:12:14 udev doesn't handle coldplugged stuf correctly Aug 10 09:15:22 Is there any workaround? Aug 10 09:17:29 not that I know of Aug 10 09:20:53 * kolla needs to create differ and patcher for oe :) Aug 10 09:21:37 god thumbs up from University of Washington to distribute a binary patch for pine, hehe Aug 10 09:23:26 guess they hadnt thought of that, hah Aug 10 10:27:35 * DaKa2 tries to figure out when he will get time for openslug work... Aug 10 10:28:39 * DaKa2 is it work at 19:30, just about to eat some dinner and then get back to "real" work Aug 10 10:31:53 koen, actually I thought it was because of hotplug-ng's inability to do handle cold-plug events. Aug 10 10:36:03 <[cc]smart> ingeba-zzz: i've forwarded the data to mart, but i have the feeling, let's say, he doesn't feel in a hurry ... Aug 10 10:57:54 VoodooZ_Work: yeah, something like that Aug 10 10:58:13 it's hard to pinpoint where it goes wrong in the hotplug/sysfs/udev chaos Aug 10 12:14:21 Actually, we did discuss this issue a while back (when we switched from hotplug to hotplug-ng to speed bootups) Aug 10 12:14:48 I remember reading some comments in the hotplug/udev scripts too. Aug 10 12:15:11 In the meantime I use the udev/links.conf way of creating missing static device entries. Aug 10 12:57:06 VoodooZ_Log: You don't need C-code to control the leds. Just use "leds" ;) Aug 10 12:58:31 oooooooh Aug 10 12:59:01 koen: you haven't tried that? ;) Aug 10 12:59:11 doing it now :) Aug 10 12:59:53 I'm not sure how it works, but I can turn on and off the top green led Aug 10 13:00:18 ah Aug 10 13:00:22 - and + Aug 10 13:00:55 +1 +2 or something, can't remember offhand Aug 10 13:05:18 yeah, +1/+2 Aug 10 13:05:38 for the two bottom ones Aug 10 13:05:58 +r and +g for the top one Aug 10 13:05:59 r/g for the top one Aug 10 13:06:02 yeah Aug 10 13:07:01 VoodooZ_Log: Ok, how well does udev work? Aug 10 13:07:35 VoodooZ_Log: and, how can you control the buzzer? Can you do different freqs with it? Aug 10 13:16:18 oh, neat Aug 10 13:16:33 I wonder if I can get my slug to control my UPS Aug 10 13:17:15 NAiL: that's what I wanted to do with it Aug 10 13:17:49 oh Aug 10 13:17:51 Have you tried? Aug 10 13:18:24 Dunno if I've got my UPS' usb-cable here now, but I can try to get the app to compile atleast ;) Aug 10 13:20:05 * koen has a serial APC ups Aug 10 15:27:38 grrr Aug 10 15:27:44 I can't get groff to build Aug 10 15:27:48 it builds fine on nudi Aug 10 15:28:11 so the next time package-index is run and mirrors are updated, it'll be in the feed atleast Aug 10 16:03:30 There is no "tunables" init-script, is there? Aug 10 16:03:46 ie. to tune stuff in /proc each boot Aug 10 16:05:50 hmmm Aug 10 16:05:54 no iptables Aug 10 16:06:09 * koen adds that to his TODO Aug 10 16:08:07 uh.. is icecast supposed to build ok? Aug 10 16:08:29 DaKa2: supposedly. Someone added a vorbis dependency earlier today Aug 10 16:08:37 Does it break on yours? Aug 10 16:08:48 yep.. Aug 10 16:08:51 uses local lib.. Aug 10 16:08:53 /usr/lib/libvorbis.so: could not read symbols: File in wrong format Aug 10 16:09:10 make update 7 minutes ago Aug 10 16:10:00 2 sec Aug 10 16:10:57 *sigh* Aug 10 16:11:01 :) Aug 10 16:11:03 It worked yesterday! :P Aug 10 16:11:43 It actually works streaming mp3. Didn't try ogg :P Aug 10 16:12:41 :) I'm not actually going to use it, just want everything to work ;) Aug 10 16:13:40 Well.. If you pull now, it won't build icecast :P Aug 10 16:13:50 I'll look at it again tomorrow Aug 10 16:13:52 :) nice fix :) Aug 10 16:14:52 Yes. Broken until further notice ;) Aug 10 16:15:11 or, until the maintainer sees fit fixing it Aug 10 16:16:17 groff broken? Aug 10 16:16:36 doesn't build on mine. It wasn't actually in -packages.bb Aug 10 16:17:03 ah.. have to try that.. Aug 10 16:17:05 It's some doc-stuff Aug 10 16:17:17 Filed a bug earlier today Aug 10 16:17:37 yeah, looked at that one Aug 10 16:18:56 Looked at #256? :) Aug 10 16:19:13 eh Aug 10 16:20:02 What's the status of 240 & 248? Perl-stuff.. Aug 10 16:20:12 just ignore that #256 one :P Aug 10 16:20:56 You really should have a slugbug account ;) Aug 10 16:22:03 I have one.. just not added... Aug 10 16:22:36 yeah Aug 10 16:22:44 248 is basically fixed with something in release-notes.. Aug 10 16:23:02 240 is well, should get fixed... I'm working on it.. Aug 10 16:23:43 except I don't have that much time right now.. doing "real" work from 08 to 00... Aug 10 16:23:48 ok, I'm not pushing. I'm just curious ;) Aug 10 16:23:57 hehe :) Aug 10 16:24:14 I'll try to get you added to slugbug Aug 10 16:24:23 :) fun.. :) Aug 10 16:24:39 All "your" bugs end up assigned to me :P Aug 10 16:24:58 yes? :-) what nice, isn't it? :D Aug 10 16:25:21 well.. yeah, kindof. It looks like I've fixed 21 bugs Aug 10 16:25:36 :) Aug 10 16:26:03 I've "fixed" 11 ;) Aug 10 16:26:21 groff fails exactly like #255 for me Aug 10 16:27:02 ah Aug 10 16:27:15 It's probably something we've got installed that other people don't Aug 10 16:27:46 probably.. Aug 10 16:29:05 uh.. scary.. (not causing any error, but..): Aug 10 16:29:07 # `libdir' says where to install platform-dependent data. Aug 10 16:29:07 libdir=/usr/lib Aug 10 16:29:37 omg Aug 10 16:29:41 and a lot others Aug 10 16:29:52 legacyfontdir=/usr/lib/font Aug 10 16:29:58 That is one reason one should never build as root ;) Aug 10 16:30:16 yep :) Aug 10 17:05:25 ok, anyone with a bit more kernel knowledge than me here? Aug 10 17:06:16 Currently, nslu2-io.c calls poweroff (or something). Isn't it better to shutdown the same way ctrl-alt-del does? (Ie. signal init) Aug 10 17:06:28 kill_proc(cad_pid, SIGINT, 1); Aug 10 17:06:43 That kinda should do the trick, no? Aug 10 17:07:33 According to my logic, the rbutton should hard reset the slug, while the pbutton should shut it down softly Aug 10 17:10:37 Oh.. and it probably should poweroff the hard way of the button has been pressed for >4 secs Aug 10 17:39:05 sheesh.. Aug 10 17:39:09 Sending SIGINT to init (PID 1), makes init do whatever the ctrlaltdel action in inittab is Aug 10 17:39:13 kolla: what? Aug 10 17:39:28 the linux vfat driver also refuses to create files with name AUX NIL etc Aug 10 17:39:40 sigh Aug 10 17:39:40 which makes perfect sense Aug 10 17:39:45 no Aug 10 17:40:25 it's obscure on any mickeysoft machine, but it also renders vfat useless for other systems Aug 10 17:40:47 well, yes. It wasn't designed as a portable fs Aug 10 17:41:57 why you cannot use windows shares as staging backup area for non-windows machines Aug 10 17:42:41 oh well, what filesystem to use then.. Aug 10 17:43:25 good question. MS doesn't exactly support a plethora (sp?) of fs' Aug 10 17:43:46 well, I'm not using any MS systems Aug 10 17:44:02 then there are many choices of fs Aug 10 17:44:09 ext3 is good :) Aug 10 17:44:16 nope Aug 10 17:44:32 why not? Aug 10 17:44:50 not for this use.. not that fat is so usable either though Aug 10 17:45:48 NAiL: there is an ext3 filesystem handler for amiga, but I thought I'd go for something less exotic :) Aug 10 17:51:45 heh Aug 10 17:51:55 ok, if I format the usb stuck from my a3k and then moves it over to laptop (which has CD drive) for copying over the content of the CD to the memorystick Aug 10 17:52:04 s/stuck/stick Aug 10 17:52:51 but I didnt know the AUX/COM etc was a filesystem issue, I just thought microsoft systems didnt allow it on any filesystem Aug 10 17:54:08 sorry for being totally offtopic :) Aug 10 18:16:56 nah, there's no problem creating "illegal" filenames on vfat, it's the linux vfat driver that is much too kind :P Aug 10 18:18:06 hi NAiL Aug 10 18:18:28 ah well.. then I'll just patch the silly msdos/vfat kernel modules :) Aug 10 18:19:41 can someone explain how to build a new package for openslug? Aug 10 18:19:56 does this package already exists for openembedded? Aug 10 18:20:06 nope Aug 10 18:20:19 okay, you want to create a bitbake file for it :) Aug 10 18:20:43 what package do you miss? Aug 10 18:20:51 ok, put the .bb file in openembedded/packages/? Aug 10 18:21:36 malfimalfi: just want to know the steps first, haven't think of a particular package to add Aug 10 18:21:54 yeah, you create a folder openembedded/packages/mypackage/mypackage_0.1.bb Aug 10 18:22:33 zin: There's heaps of packages to look at for examples. After you create a working .bb, you can add it to packages/meta/openslug-packages.bb and conf/distro/openslug-packages.conf Aug 10 18:22:40 do I have to change any of the files in openembedded/packages/meta/? Aug 10 18:22:50 ah, ok Aug 10 18:22:54 (an then it'll build it automagically when you make openslug-packages) Aug 10 18:22:59 you don't need to add it to openslug-packages, that will only include it, if you do a 'make build-openslug' Aug 10 18:23:08 you can compile it always with "source openslug/setup-env; bb -b openembedded/packages/mynewpackage/mynewpackage_0.1.bb" Aug 10 18:24:38 malfimalfi: for testing, I can just compile it with 'bb -b .....' right? Aug 10 18:25:08 not only for testing, there will be an .ipk file for installing on your slug :) Aug 10 18:25:44 ok Aug 10 18:25:57 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Development/MasterMakefile there is some explanation about adding a package from openembedded to openslug, your procedure will be the same, except, that you have to create your bitbakes before that. Aug 10 18:26:14 ok Aug 10 18:26:44 ah, this is so brilliant! :) Aug 10 18:27:02 feel free to update it, if you managed to write your own bitbake and compiled it Aug 10 18:27:06 what is brilliant? Aug 10 18:27:29 that was easy enough Aug 10 18:27:38 I've got ctorrent running on my slug. I just save the torrent files to a share, and the slug checks if there are any new torrents and downloads them. It even sends me mail when it's finished :D Aug 10 18:28:08 nifty :) Aug 10 18:29:49 NAiL: do you plan to write a mini howto for that? Aug 10 18:30:31 ya, a mini howto would be nice Aug 10 18:30:55 malfimalfi: Well, I hadn't planned to. But I might. It's a simple shell-script, and it doesn't exactly do much error-checking :P Aug 10 18:31:06 I use screen, ctorrent, mailx and ssmtp Aug 10 18:31:21 oh yes, and cron and samba Aug 10 18:31:35 put it on the wiki, some might use it (I might :) Aug 10 18:32:05 I might too Aug 10 18:32:14 Ok, I'll put that on my ToDo. It's a *very* nice solution. but the implementation isn't brilliant :P Aug 10 18:32:17 brb Aug 10 18:32:55 gtg too Aug 10 18:33:03 thanks malfi Aug 10 18:37:05 the ctorrent package seems to use the abandoned sourceforge release... Aug 10 18:39:43 http://www.rahul.net/dholmes/ctorrent/ Aug 10 18:39:48 good night Aug 10 18:45:03 how come everytime when I 'source openslug/setup-env', it closes my ssh session? Aug 10 18:45:35 because you're not in the openslug dir Aug 10 18:45:42 cd openslug; source setup-env Aug 10 18:46:11 There was a reason for this, but it escapes me at the moment Aug 10 18:46:56 ah, ok Aug 10 19:20:17 * NAiL goes to bed Aug 10 19:20:24 Cya all tomorrow :) **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Aug 10 23:59:56 2005
