**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Aug 30 02:59:57 2011 Aug 30 07:50:45 nbd * r28129 /trunk/package/mac80211/patches/ (3 files): ath9k: add some more minor hw reset related fixes Aug 30 11:28:19 q: how do I add a menuentry for a project, but have the individual items under that entry not depend on it in the final build? Aug 30 12:12:59 applejack: have a look at the mtd-utils package Aug 30 12:21:59 k,... looked at coreutils, but it gave no clues Aug 30 12:23:16 ahaaa Aug 30 12:23:24 I think I got it Aug 30 12:35:31 hmm, nope Aug 30 12:37:27 trying to move openssh into a submenu, but obviously the resulting openssh-client package should not depend on the parent 'openssh' Aug 30 12:37:49 as it contains nothing it wont exist Aug 30 13:03:00 ok, install/true work, but seems like an ugly hack Aug 30 15:09:41 those ath9k updates still going? Aug 30 15:10:05 well, last commit ias 10 hours ago, gonna assume it is Aug 30 15:36:41 do I need to do anything else other than submit a patch to openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org for it to be reviewed? Aug 30 15:40:59 fullstop: moo Aug 30 16:13:58 applejack: try out :) Aug 30 16:17:11 mirko : ? Aug 30 16:28:22 Chocky: yes? Aug 30 16:28:41 so, what is diff in N2 and ag300? Aug 30 16:28:49 besides obvious of RAM and CPU speed Aug 30 16:29:41 N2 is single-band, single-radio Aug 30 16:30:44 same SoC? Aug 30 16:31:29 no Aug 30 16:31:31 different SoC Aug 30 16:31:32 eth1 is hooked up Aug 30 16:31:43 and different wlan Aug 30 16:33:30 which hardware has the Japanese variants, and do those differ in hardware? Aug 30 16:34:27 shinoda would know that Aug 30 16:34:42 ok, so opinions on merging all of the platforms? Aug 30 16:35:09 might be able to remove some code repetition as nbd suggested Aug 30 16:35:28 that code could just be shared. Aug 30 16:35:38 with the almost certain likelihood of more variants in the near future Aug 30 16:36:08 which increases the difficulty of accurately identifying a particular platform based on uniqueness of the hardware. Aug 30 16:36:30 perhaps; I don't think it's a bit deal Aug 30 16:36:38 Chocky: does the n2 say "WZR-HP-G300NH2" on the box? Aug 30 16:36:50 I think in practice, it makes it better. there was confusion over 300 vs 301; the latter was not clearly marked Aug 30 16:36:56 no Aug 30 16:37:03 nbd: I believe it says so on the sticker. not sure about the box; will get one later today Aug 30 16:37:13 I have some here Aug 30 16:37:27 the box is _identical_ to the G300NH Aug 30 16:37:36 no surprise Aug 30 16:37:51 i think it should be separate, the 300 vs 301 issue is a different situation compared to this Aug 30 16:38:09 the back of the unit says WZR-HP-G300NH2 and it has a different code to the right: A0 A0 Aug 30 16:38:11 nbd: why do you think so? Aug 30 16:38:41 300 vs 301 was a different, but very similar ethernet Aug 30 16:38:44 Chocky: because the wzr-hp-g300nh had a revision update that made it like the g301nh Aug 30 16:38:53 Chocky: with no way to tell the difference by looking at the device Aug 30 16:39:00 whereas the g300nh2 has a different product name Aug 30 16:39:06 I guess. Aug 30 16:39:23 at some point this mach file mess needs to be completely cleaned up anyway Aug 30 16:39:28 replaced with device tree files Aug 30 16:39:28 I have a need for our requirements to have a single image. I appreciate that might not coincide with OpenWrt ais Aug 30 16:39:29 aims Aug 30 16:40:25 it's silly for us to be deploying images which are identical except for the machine specifier on the command line Aug 30 16:40:54 us = my company Aug 30 16:41:09 they don't need to be identical. you could drop the spi flash driver from each. Aug 30 16:41:33 what is hooked up to SPI flash? Aug 30 16:41:52 in NH it is, I believe, a parallel flash chip Aug 30 16:41:57 right Aug 30 16:42:04 and the NH2 uses a SPI flash interface. Aug 30 16:42:11 so you can do XIP comedy. Aug 30 16:42:36 you could drop the parallel driver from the NH2 image and the opposite. Aug 30 16:43:13 yes, I could. But I'd save only a few bytes. Our images are 11MB Aug 30 16:43:38 few KB, anyway Aug 30 16:44:22 with that thought, why not merge all of the ar71xx boards? Aug 30 16:44:51 devices tend to have different image, padding etc requirements Aug 30 16:45:04 so you can't make an image which is acceptable to all devices Aug 30 16:45:30 even though the kernel itself is, given the right command line Aug 30 16:46:00 and you'd have to redo all the profile stuff too Aug 30 16:46:51 it's not quite like the Ubuntu case, where you include every driver under the sun and a kernel which runs most everywhere on x86 Aug 30 16:48:16 OpenWrt's aims = support every device practical, to a certain level. My aim = support a couple of products very solidly to make a practical consumer product. Aug 30 16:48:27 those are definitely at odds at a certain point Aug 30 16:48:55 In that case, I would create a new platform and combine the platform code in your own environment. Aug 30 16:49:28 I think what I've done is ok. Just need to watch for merges to the GN2 Aug 30 16:53:44 I don't know if we'll use the ag300. but I'd certainly want to merge that too Aug 30 16:56:32 at the very least, add a note on the g300h page about the other hardware variants Aug 30 18:07:19 Long time ago, I used an IPAlias to set my desktop computer with multiple IP Addresses. But, now I beleive things have changed. So, does anyone out here know a better way to configure my router to use a multiple IP Addresses and what package to install? Aug 30 18:08:43 Oops, posting on the wrong channel. Aug 30 18:43:49 jow * r28130 /packages/devel/binutils/Makefile: [packages] binutils: do not configure with system root set to pkg install, it will not exist on target and all default search paths become invalid Aug 30 18:59:41 nbd: the empty dir target/linux/ar71xx/base-files/etc/defconfig/wzr-hpg301nh still exists in SVN Aug 30 19:50:08 mhei * r28131 /packages/lang/php5/ (5 files in 2 dirs): [packages] php5: upgrade to 5.3.8 and refresh patches Aug 30 20:22:26 got my v2 now. \o/ Aug 30 21:04:08 nbd * r28132 /trunk/package/mac80211/patches/ (5 files): ath9k: add a missing dma cache sync on aggregation software retry Aug 30 21:04:13 nbd * r28133 /trunk/package/swconfig/src/cli.c: swconfig: hide inactive vlans on "swconfig dev switch0 show" Aug 30 21:06:10 nbd * r28134 /branches/backfire/package/swconfig/src/cli.c: swconfig: hide inactive vlans on "swconfig dev switch0 show" (backport of r28133) Aug 30 21:06:48 luka * r28135 /packages/utils/mc/ (Config.in Makefile): upgrade mc package Aug 30 22:15:52 nbd: Is there a reson we have separate mirrors for the openwrt and backfire branches? Aug 30 22:16:33 yes Aug 30 22:17:10 Is it for having smaller repos? Aug 30 22:17:40 git-svn creates a completely separate history for every single branch anyway Aug 30 22:17:50 so we might as well have them in separate repositories Aug 30 22:18:29 This really sounds like a git-svn bug. Aug 30 22:18:39 it's not a bug Aug 30 22:18:42 i think it's by design Aug 30 22:18:51 :/ Aug 30 22:19:15 Ok. And an other thing - any chance to have tags in git? Aug 30 22:21:30 not sure how to easily add them Aug 30 22:21:35 most people don't need them anyway Aug 30 22:34:50 nbd: hey. here's the script (https://gist.github.com/1182278) I used to create this mirror: http://git.openinkpot.org/openwrt-pristine.git/ with selected branches and all tags. Aug 31 01:26:26 nbd: good catch about netdev_max_backlog! I accidentally had 1500 in a few APs **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Aug 31 02:59:57 2011
