**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Apr 16 09:59:56 2006 Apr 16 10:42:00 hello. Apr 16 10:42:05 Anyone awake now? Apr 16 10:42:40 Seems that unstable openslug uses 2.6.16 kernel, I'd like to compile it (natively) for gentooslug.. Apr 16 10:43:42 so, where do I get patch set for 2.6.16 kernel to support nslu2 better? vanilla 2.6.16 isn't that good, for e.g. leds doesn't work etc.. Apr 16 11:02:13 jake: nslu.sf.net cvs repo, "kernel" module. Apr 16 11:02:59 There is a makefile there which will build a kernel for you, independent of OE and monotone. Apr 16 11:03:12 We test kernel changes there, and migrate them to OE when they are working. Apr 16 11:03:27 yeah, I just downloaded a mastermakefile.. Apr 16 11:03:33 from nslu2 wiki.. Apr 16 11:03:44 that's not the same thing I am referring to Apr 16 11:04:03 yeah, I know. But I was thinking, maybe it contains patch set too..? Apr 16 11:04:15 although you can get the same set of patches that way, you will find it much faster and cleaner to get them from the cvs repo if you are not intending to build in OpenEmbedded. Apr 16 11:05:12 I actually just want the patch set and maybe a "defconfig" for nslu2 (that I then tweak to suite my needs better).. as I want to compile kernel natively.. Apr 16 11:05:24 But I'll check that cvs tree.. Apr 16 11:05:25 then the cvs repo is what you want Apr 16 11:05:34 Okay.. Just a sec.. Apr 16 11:05:59 Feel free to suggest changes to the defconfig, or contribute new patches to that repo. If you're contributing good stuff we can give you write access too. Apr 16 11:06:34 well, with changes I actually just ment turning on/off stuff or making them compile as modules :) Apr 16 11:07:52 understood. but if you see something that would be handy to be turned on as a module, or something which is turned on but is of absolutely no use on an nslu2-linux target device, then please let us know and we will update the defconfig accordingly for everyone to benefit from your work. Apr 16 11:08:00 so I don't think that would help anyone, and I tried to patch by hand 2.6.16 with old patch set (for 2.6.12 or somethin) but that didn't out come that great. That's why I am looking for official patches.. Apr 16 11:08:16 gentooslug isn't so much maintained :( Apr 16 11:08:43 well, the door is open for gentoo people to get more involved in nslu2-linux, but they never seem to walk through the door ... Apr 16 11:09:13 (unlike the Debian folk, who have walked through the door and been invited to take up residence in a spare room in the house :-) Apr 16 11:09:39 well, I don't know for sure about unslung's/openslug's def kernel, but in gentooslug's defkernel, ipv6 was disabled completely, I compiled it with modular ipv6 support as I think it hurts more to completely lack it than having a few more files.. :) Apr 16 11:10:17 I think we have it as a module. In general, we are happy to have just about anything that might be useful as a module. Apr 16 11:10:38 (cause nslu2-linux targets devices with large attached storage, then extra modules is no problem at all) Apr 16 11:10:45 I know. But there are just few of us who are interested in running gentoo on a slug.. mostly they are concerned about 64bit pc's-- :( Apr 16 11:11:34 BTW, is one of you willing to update www.nslu2-linux.org/GentooSlug/HomePage ? Apr 16 11:12:38 and even act as a liason between Gentoo and the nslu2-linux core development team? Apr 16 11:13:33 logging in anonymously to cvs.. Apr 16 11:14:10 hmm.. There's a thread in forums.gentoo.org that could be linked to that site.. Apr 16 11:14:34 which contains instructions to install non uclibc gentoo on slug.. Apr 16 11:14:34 please do so. the GentooSlug/HomePage is editable by anyone who has information to share Apr 16 11:14:39 it's very outdated.. Apr 16 11:15:14 I know, I used to have unslung for about a year and I've edited some pages when I started it by myself too.. Apr 16 11:15:43 I thought the irc nick was familiar ... Apr 16 11:16:00 :) Apr 16 11:16:18 I compiled irssi but I wasn't able to make it a ipkg package :) Apr 16 11:16:47 Actually I ain't in such a hurry with compiling that kernel, as I am currently compiling mysql-5.19-r1 natively on my slug :) Apr 16 11:17:10 but been thinking about it for few days now (once I've got free time from my job due to holiday) Apr 16 11:17:35 cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@nslu.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot login Apr 16 11:17:45 takes quite long.. Apr 16 11:18:11 am I doing something wrong..? Apr 16 11:18:14 Do you have an sf.net id? Apr 16 11:18:35 sometimes the anon cvs at sf.net is like a glacier Apr 16 11:18:44 if I remember correctly.. I should have opened id when I had to ask something about pxelinux project on their forum.. Apr 16 11:19:07 but anon checkout should still work. Apr 16 11:19:18 it worked for the autobuilds less than 15 minutes ago Apr 16 11:20:00 takes ages with my id too.. Apr 16 11:20:52 when I tried to login anonymously, I just hitten enter on password prompt, that was right wasn't it? or was the sf.net password anonymous or anon or something? Apr 16 11:24:35 dunno Apr 16 11:25:22 Try cvs -q -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/nslu co ... Apr 16 11:25:30 Connection time out.. Apr 16 11:25:33 I'll try that.. Apr 16 11:25:51 yeah, you need cvs.sf.net, not nslu.sf.net Apr 16 11:26:06 module name is "kernel" Apr 16 11:26:33 hey :) Apr 16 11:26:39 thanks, that was why it failed :) Apr 16 11:26:46 'copying feed kernel:) Apr 16 11:27:08 nice patch set with defconfig.. Apr 16 11:32:40 btw.. beeper/buzzer seems to work with my *broken* kernel.. Apr 16 11:33:01 I found leds.c & leds.h from openslug source package.. Apr 16 11:33:17 but is there a program for using buzzer? Apr 16 11:33:48 I thought that I saw somewhere a notification about buzzer.c and buzzer.h but didn't find those after all from openslug source.. Apr 16 11:47:20 The beep package from OE works. Apr 16 11:58:30 okay.. Apr 16 11:58:35 thanks again.. Apr 16 12:08:56 jake: np - let me know how it goes with Gentoo, and please update that wiki page :-) Apr 16 15:21:35 rwhitby: yeah, I'll update it soon. Can't tell anything new yet about gentoo, since I'm still compiling that mysql.. Apr 16 15:21:53 expect that.. it's great :D Apr 16 17:48:01 rwhitby: still here? Apr 16 17:48:46 I updated something on gentoo slug wiki entry. Apr 16 17:49:57 Actually most important info on entry is a link to specific gentoo forum thread, but that's because ppl using gentoo on a slug, mostly visit there, so if there will be new rootfs, it's propably informed there.. Apr 16 17:51:01 I could soon (after I've got updated few last things to latest and compiled 2.6.16 kernel) create a new rootfs, but I don't know about that, as my rootfs is pretty heavy :) Apr 16 17:51:33 It would contain apache2, latest mysql, openldap, samba, etc.. so it would take nearly 4 gigabytes :) Apr 16 17:52:00 So I guess for me it would be pretty hard to export a updated rootfs.. Apr 16 17:52:42 but compiling on a slug is really slow, removing non-wanted software is much faster :) Apr 16 17:53:26 using packages is even faster Apr 16 17:54:32 koen packages on gentoo? for slug? Apr 16 17:54:42 not for gentoo :) Apr 16 17:54:49 yeah :) thought so :) Apr 16 17:55:16 there are some binary packages for gentoo, but I guess non exist for slug :) Apr 16 17:56:24 but I like this setup very much, my computers run gentoo, so doing stuff on slug is no different as it's just different architechture, but everything works the same way.. Apr 17 03:57:29 howdy Apr 17 03:57:41 how's the openslug release coming along? Apr 17 06:36:54 every time that I try to compile kernel from opåenslug cvs (2.6.16) I fail. Apr 17 06:37:37 I get arch/arm/lib/lib.a: Could not read symbols: Archive has no index; run ranlib to add one Apr 17 06:37:56 I have ran ranlib arch/arm/lib/lib.a with no results Apr 17 06:38:07 and also ar -s arch/arm/lib/lib.a Apr 17 06:38:15 no results with that either.. Apr 17 09:20:42 hi there Apr 17 09:21:11 anyone to advice wether i sould go for DebianSlug or OpenSlug ? Apr 17 09:22:20 i would naturally go to DebianSlug, as I think the debian package repository is huge..... but I would like to know if there are some other differences with OpenSlug...(speed ?, ) Apr 17 09:39:49 kernel compilation succeeded after turning on "Compile big Apr 17 09:39:54 endian kernel" **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Apr 17 09:59:56 2006
