Mar 12 12:47:00 <exovii> Kaloz: are you here ?
Mar 12 12:47:09 <Kaloz> yeah
Mar 12 12:57:31 <exovii> Kaloz: hello...
Mar 12 12:57:53 <exovii> Kaloz: do you have good news for ixp4xx users ?
Mar 12 12:58:02 <exovii> ;)
Mar 12 12:58:33 <Kaloz> not for you, yet :p
Mar 12 12:59:12 <exovii> ah...
Mar 12 12:59:23 <exovii> what is iop32 ?
Mar 12 12:59:36 <Kaloz> little endian xscale storage cpu from intel
Mar 12 18:57:08 <loswillios> What does this error mean? Collecting package info: package/moblockMakefile:55: *** commands commence before first target.  Stop.
Mar 12 18:57:24 <loswillios> here's my Makefile and the complete error-message: http://pastebin.ca/392203
Mar 12 18:59:36 <[mbm]> means that your makefile looks like this:
Mar 12 18:59:39 <[mbm]>      command
Mar 12 18:59:43 <[mbm]> target:
Mar 12 18:59:47 <[mbm]>     more commands
Mar 12 18:59:50 <[mbm]> ..
Mar 12 19:00:08 <[mbm]> and it's getting a parse error because of that first "command" without any associated target
Mar 12 19:00:32 <[mbm]> which probably means you screwed up indenting
Mar 12 19:01:09 <loswillios> uh
Mar 12 19:01:56 <[mbm]> intenting is important in makefiles
Mar 12 19:02:05 <loswillios> [mbm]: thx - it was the description i somehow messed up
Mar 12 19:02:10 <[mbm]> but can be confusing since spaces and tabs are treated differently
Mar 12 19:02:52 <[mbm]> commands that you want make to run need to be indented with a tab
Mar 12 19:03:07 <[mbm]> eg, commands to compile
Mar 12 19:03:15 <[mbm]> but that's the only time you should use a tab
Mar 12 19:03:30 <[mbm]> we tend to indent the rest using spaces for style reasons
Mar 12 19:03:35 <loswillios> ah i see
Mar 12 19:03:38 <[mbm]> but the tab/space thing can be confusing
Mar 12 19:04:27 <[mbm]> btw, descriptions should be a Package/name/Description define block
Mar 12 19:04:41 <[mbm]> the DESCRIPTION:= is legacy code
Mar 12 19:06:07 <loswillios> will work on that when the damn thing compiles cleanly
Mar 12 19:11:54 <loswillios> there is no NFQUEUE for iptables yet?
Mar 12 19:15:09 <CIA-13> nbd * r6558 /trunk/target/linux/x86-2.6/base-files/default/etc/config/: remove screwy network config override from x86-2.6 base-files
Mar 12 23:00:15 <xrg> aNyBoDy here ?
Mar 12 23:03:07 <Bartman007> if you have a question, just go ahead and ask it
Mar 12 23:03:22 <[mbm]> you're going to need to ask better questions if you want anyone to pay attention
Mar 12 23:03:53 <nbd> may i ask a meta-question here? :)
Mar 12 23:04:04 <armijn> oh, I love meta-questions
Mar 12 23:04:18 <armijn> "what is a meta-question?"
Mar 12 23:04:32 <armijn> that's already a good meta-question
Mar 12 23:04:41 <[mbm]> armijn: that was a meta-meta-question
Mar 12 23:04:42 <nbd> "what is a meta-question?" - no
Mar 12 23:04:52 <nbd> :)
Mar 12 23:04:55 <Bartman007> wow, 8 lines in reply to a meta question already.
Mar 12 23:04:57 <nbd> neither is why
Mar 12 23:05:55 <armijn> [mbm]: but if a meta-question is a question, then a meta-meta-question is a meta-question too
Mar 12 23:06:47 <[mbm]> *sigh* let's just get the joke over with and move on: "Can I ask a question?" "you just did, please don't ask any more meta questions"
Mar 12 23:06:58 <armijn> sorry :P
Mar 12 23:08:45 <[mbm]> xarg: did you have any more questions? (now that we've scared you away with our literal parsing schemes)
Mar 12 23:10:53 <xrg> My first question was enough! I was mainly looking for nbd ;)
Mar 12 23:11:45 <Bartman007> ...
Mar 12 23:11:52 <wigyori> 'evening
Mar 12 23:12:17 <xrg> So, it wasn't a meta-question anyway..
Mar 12 23:12:20 <Bartman007> wigyori: you missed Meta-Con '07
Mar 12 23:12:46 <wigyori> i hope it's still in my client's buffer
Mar 12 23:13:21 <wigyori> it has :P
Mar 12 23:13:34 <xrg> Don't worry: I've seen more agressive lists..
