Dec 14 14:26:08 traditionally have people just used distcc? Dec 14 21:14:07 Good afternoon all Dec 14 21:14:32 I just noticed something annoying Dec 14 21:14:51 the busybox implementation of cp doesn't support the -l args for hard links Dec 14 21:16:00 and there doesn't seem to be a separate cp packaged for the slug that does support -l Dec 14 21:36:48 hillct, "ln"? Dec 14 21:37:12 well Dec 14 21:37:29 sure Dec 14 21:37:30 but Dec 14 21:37:42 I'm trying to copy hard links Dec 14 21:38:00 in this case, for the purpose of creating snapshots using srync Dec 14 21:38:04 for example Dec 14 21:38:21 ah, that is annoying then Dec 14 21:38:33 mv /home/mumc/backup.1 /home/mumc/backup.2cp -al /home/mumc/backup.0 /home/mumc/backup.1 Dec 14 21:39:02 I may be able to script a loop through the directory to produce the same result Dec 14 21:39:10 maybe... Dec 14 21:39:34 but still, seems like cp should support -l like it does on every other platform Dec 14 21:44:14 * jprind 's slug runs debian. no crazy busybox replacements for things like 'cp' Dec 14 21:47:15 hmm Dec 14 21:47:23 that's certainly an option... Dec 14 21:47:29 could rebuild the slug Dec 14 21:48:13 johang: how big is the adverage deb installation on a slug? Dec 14 21:49:03 with no httpd, mysql or other big services. Just SSH, SMB NFS etc Dec 14 21:50:27 hillct, the latest debian installer is broken, but the base system image here: http://www.cyrius.com/debian/nslu2/unpack.html is ~100MB compressed (i forget how much it expands to) Dec 14 21:50:52 under 1GB? Dec 14 21:52:06 i'm almost certain it is, but i was installed it on a 500GB drive, so it wasn't something i was looking out for Dec 14 21:53:05 well, I have a 500GB drive for the box, but currently the main FS is on a flash drive Dec 14 21:53:22 Guess I could rearrange the whole thing... Dec 14 21:53:28 what a PIA Dec 14 21:55:39 hm, sounds like Dec 14 22:01:26 hillct: that's probably specific to old version of busybox and build config Dec 14 22:01:50 just tried optware busybox 1.8.2 cp, and it support -l Dec 14 22:04:44 ah Dec 14 22:04:50 cool. Thanks Dec 14 22:05:16 as I recall, optware packages get installed into a separate tree Dec 14 22:05:27 I guess I get to do a lot of fun linking Dec 14 22:06:42 if you have slugos development env, the best option is to update slugos busybox.bb Dec 14 22:27:53 hmm Dec 14 22:27:56 yeah Dec 14 22:27:59 good call Dec 14 22:28:14 will test with optware first Dec 14 22:28:25 since I just got it installed Dec 14 22:29:05 actually, it took me that long to realize I had an ipkg_opt package lying around Dec 14 22:29:53 there seems to be a bit of concern about busybox 1.0 conflicting with other packages Dec 14 22:30:10 seems odd though. I thought that was the point of update-alternatives Dec 14 22:30:32 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/BusyBox Dec 14 22:30:54 update-alternatives on busybox-links were added about a month ago Dec 14 22:31:39 maybe there are still rough corners Dec 14 22:32:05 or maybe the wiki page predates that Dec 14 22:33:03 in any case. busybox.ipk is just /opt/bin/busybox Dec 14 22:33:12 and won't conflict with anything else Dec 14 22:36:19 yeah Dec 14 22:36:24 used busybox-base Dec 14 22:36:36 buy now checking OE Dec 14 22:36:51 looks like BusyBox is up to version 1.8.2 Dec 14 22:37:00 might try to package that... Dec 14 22:37:01 sorry, s/busybox/busybox-base/' Dec 14 22:39:41 oh, geez. Look at all those patches Dec 14 22:39:54 perhaps I'm not that adventurous this evening Dec 14 22:40:21 after all, all I really want to do is get backup snapshots working so I can backup my laptop and upgrade it to FC8 Dec 14 22:43:33 oh, optware is at 1.8.1... hmm Dec 14 22:44:04 right, i just realized that, and am upgrading to 1.8.2 Dec 14 22:44:19 oh Dec 14 22:44:22 K beat me to it Dec 14 22:45:07 where are the optware recipe files, in case I have occasion to perform those upgrades myself? Dec 14 22:47:34 http://trac.nslu2-linux.org/optware/browser/trunk/make/busybox.mk Dec 14 22:47:48 and patch files are placed under sources/busybox Dec 14 22:48:19 no .config changes needed this time Dec 14 22:50:18 see also http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/SlugosbeDevel Dec 14 22:55:44 cool. Thanks Dec 14 23:00:36 eno: is your 1.8.2 build yoing to show up in the optware feed shortly? ie: should I wait for it or just stick with 1.8.1 ? Dec 14 23:00:49 or can I download it directly, from some other location? Dec 14 23:00:49 1.8.1 works fine Dec 14 23:00:56 yeah. seems to Dec 14 23:01:08 * hillct figures newer is better Dec 14 23:01:13 1.8.2 will appear in the feed probably in 3-4 hours Dec 14 23:01:21 K Dec 14 23:01:23 thanks Dec 14 23:01:27 np **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Dec 15 02:59:57 2007
