**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Nov 22 02:59:58 2006 Nov 22 09:12:55 hello :) Nov 22 09:14:59 I'd like to change default packages installed in openslug, what is the right way to do it ? if I cp conf/distro/openslug.conf to my.conf, modify it and make my-image will that work ? or should I just modify openslug.conf ? Nov 22 16:04:02 I've just added a package in openembedded/package/my_app Nov 22 16:04:19 when i bitbake my_app i get a ERROR: Nothing provides dependency my_app Nov 22 16:04:30 anybody lnow why ? Nov 22 16:04:34 knows Nov 22 16:06:18 I believe you have to add it to the list of official packages. Nov 22 16:06:30 It's defined in a file somewhere. Nov 22 16:06:45 but there's more than one way of doing it. Nov 22 16:06:59 that's weirg i've just added a package for libpupnp and it worked directly Nov 22 16:07:06 weird Nov 22 16:09:38 I just tried to locate that file but I can't seem to find it anymore. Nov 22 16:09:50 :( Nov 22 16:09:51 Things are changing all the times here so... Nov 22 16:11:31 openembedded/packages/meta/slugos-packages.bb maybe Nov 22 16:18:02 yep. Nov 22 16:18:25 the lib I added is not in there but does build Nov 22 16:18:36 But then again, there used to be another mechanism called "freeze" involved. Nov 22 16:18:53 yeah, I'm just not sure how it works anymore. Nov 22 16:19:01 ok thanks Nov 22 16:31:20 <[g2]> any nfs wizards around ? Nov 22 16:40:03 what's the question? Nov 22 16:40:34 [g2]: Btw, you are using apex exclusively on your slugs right? Nov 22 16:41:17 I was wondering if you experimented with it as I'd rather keep my apex. Nov 22 16:41:24 <[g2]> VoodooZ I was using APEX on the slugs a very long time ago > 1 year. I haven't touched the slugs since then Nov 22 16:41:43 <[g2]> VoodooZ I build my own RedBoot for the Loft Nov 22 16:41:59 I see. Nov 22 16:42:09 <[g2]> it's got the sexy -m disk and ext2 support Nov 22 16:42:19 nice. Nov 22 16:42:29 <[g2]> so I can do stuff like load -r -v -b 0x600000 -m disk hda1:/boot/zImage Nov 22 16:42:43 <[g2]> where zImage is a symlink in an ext3 fs Nov 22 16:42:46 I guess I'll wait 'till it's less experimental Nov 22 16:42:57 <[g2]> and since RedBoot knows ext2 it can deal with it Nov 22 16:42:59 convenient! Nov 22 16:43:10 Must be fatter though? Nov 22 16:43:26 <[g2]> it's monsterous Nov 22 16:43:30 <[g2]> 512KB Nov 22 16:43:30 hehe Nov 22 16:43:32 ouch Nov 22 16:43:47 <[g2]> but I've got 16MB flash so it's all pretty much unused anyway Nov 22 16:43:48 But I guess it's worth it for you. Nov 22 16:43:53 rue Nov 22 16:43:55 true Nov 22 16:44:24 <[g2]> VoodooZ have you ever done much with performance metrics on NFS ? Nov 22 16:44:27 I just hope the new changes can make the boot time shorter as I'd remove the redboot step. Nov 22 16:44:33 not really no. Nov 22 16:44:39 Just used it in various setups. Nov 22 16:44:51 I use it to mount my dev code on the robot wirelessly. Nov 22 16:44:59 * [g2] wants to benchmark my setup Nov 22 16:45:13 good question. Nov 22 16:45:27 I'm sure there's more than one way :) Nov 22 16:45:30 * [g2] just started streaming media around Nov 22 16:45:49 <[g2]> yeah, I'd like some real numbers and probably might tune it some Nov 22 16:46:04 <[g2]> it's between PCs on a gigE Nov 22 16:46:06 IOzone appears to have support for NFS Nov 22 16:46:18 <[g2]> they can scp at 25-30MBs Nov 22 16:46:44 SPEC SFS97 is an NFS benchmark app. Nov 22 16:46:53 <[g2]> hmm.... maybe the external usb driver was limiting the performance Nov 22 16:47:01 <[g2]> it tops out around 30MBs Nov 22 16:47:21 <[g2]> is IOzone in debian ? Nov 22 16:47:28 no idea. Nov 22 16:47:36 * VoodooZ is a Debian dummy. Nov 22 16:47:55 I still feel overwhelmed when coming here. Nov 22 16:48:21 people talk about gentoo and debian and I'm a lowly Redhat dude Nov 22 16:48:47 http://www.iozone.org/ has downloads and pretty graphs **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Nov 23 02:59:57 2006
