I keep flip-flopping between let's just commit it and so what is the advantage. Nov 23 09:11:26 ldir:it has become a painfull PR ... Nov 23 09:11:27 ldir: is this the bump with the many patches? Nov 23 09:11:33 jow:yes Nov 23 09:11:44 it looks fishy Nov 23 09:12:04 I really don't want to patch ssh, even if its jsut upstream cherry picks Nov 23 09:12:15 the various config changes look weird as well Nov 23 09:12:15 The guy has been asked to fold the different commits related to the backported patches into one patch Nov 23 09:12:49 and I don't like the fact patches are partially backported Nov 23 09:12:56 me neither Nov 23 09:13:03 a version bump; okay Nov 23 09:13:11 build time config changes where reasonable; okay too Nov 23 09:13:33 but no random git state, lets stick to whats the latest official release Nov 23 09:13:49 imho Nov 23 09:16:04 I'd like to see it as 'bump + stuff to make it build properly/compactly' in one commit and a BIG maybe...all the other stuff...some of it consolidated. maybe. Nov 23 09:16:14 it is a painful PR. Nov 23 09:16:41 sometimes a PR has to be rejected Nov 23 09:17:01 I'd rather simply bump dropbear and add the one or two patches reuquired to keep it cmpiling/working Nov 23 09:18:02 and at that point I then start questioning..."so what is wrong with the current release?"/"what is the advantage of the bump?" Nov 23 09:18:08 which is where I came in :-) Nov 23 09:18:10 I'm wondering if the patches are that critical why a new dropbear version has not been released ... Nov 23 09:19:32 ldir: I see two main motiviations for the update Nov 23 09:19:42 1) critical bug fixed Nov 23 09:19:55 2) better/improved support for EC (without patches) Nov 23 09:20:18 haven't looked recently Nov 23 09:21:06 but if neither of these applies then we can consider updating to the latest vanilla version simply to stay up-to-date and reduce the delta to future version bumps Nov 23 09:21:13 dedeckeh: yes as I said at conference, this would be sooo much easier if Matt just did a new release Nov 23 09:21:52 ldir: bumping kernels .. Nov 23 09:22:31 xback: my rss reader said you would be ;-) Nov 23 09:24:31 ldir: what about bumping from 2017.75 to 2018.76 ? Nov 23 09:25:53 the changelog mentions a number of fixes that look reasonable Nov 23 09:26:16 apart from that I'd add no further patches Nov 23 09:26:44 jow:I would be in favor of doing the bump to 2018.76 Nov 23 09:28:00 also there're some changes related to ECC which are usefull imho Nov 23 09:30:26 so would I - there are a couple of tweaks to the build system and libtom building that if we don't have will balloon in size. similarly the ecc stuff I think useful. The "wait to fail invalid usernames" patch is also useful in that it gets dropped by his bump and then re-added. (there's a note about it) Nov 23 09:35:19 such tweaks are fine Nov 23 09:37:00 I think it then becomes a case of cherry-picking the wanted commits, squashing as required, saying thank you very much, and off we go. Nov 23 09:37:35 certainly the work done in due to upstream changing the configuration method is very useful. Nov 23 09:38:33 I'll take a look over the weekend and I'm now told I have to go to IKEA :-/ Nov 23 09:38:51 as I'm now told I have to go to IKEA Nov 23 09:50:03 is there a mt76 irc channel? Nov 23 09:50:16 for the wifi drivers Nov 23 10:21:08 ldir: stintel: the kernel bumps will take a while as there are some collisions on assembly level which need to be treated very carefully Nov 23 10:21:35 ooh sounds like fun Nov 23 10:21:49 spectre stuff has been added on 4.9 Nov 23 11:13:52 ldir: would have been nice to be notified when you touched znc ;p Nov 23 15:58:29 I want a script to detect if a bunch of things are installed on my router Nov 23 15:59:02 is there a shell scripting library that can run on ash that does this. Something that has output similar to autotools e.g. Checking ip-range is intalled.... Nov 23 15:59:09 and I just provide a function for running this test Nov 23 16:23:10 you could install autohell ifyou're insane. Nov 23 16:23:13 what do you really want to do? Nov 23 16:23:19 opkg list-installed | grep ? Nov 23 16:53:47 KanjiMonster: sorry. I'd been banging my head against that wall for a couple of days, so when mangix came up with a much better tweak I went a bit mad with the commit button. Sorry. Nov 23 16:55:30 Hmm, so where's psyborg, Daniel Golle, Stanilslaw Gruszka, Camicia, Jamie Stuart, or Kristian Evensen? Any of them hang out here? Nov 23 16:56:10 I just received confirmation back that the fix for the rt2x00 frame dropping issue is solved Nov 23 17:01:52 ok, I gotta get to bed Nov 23 17:02:02 But before I do, I have some advice Nov 23 17:02:11 Never pet a burning dog Nov 23 17:07:26 hmmm I'm having some funky firewall issues on an APU2 running an image built from the 18.06 branch. it's the 2nd or 3rd time that it happens today, existing firewall rules don't seem to match anymore, running fw3 reload fixed it Nov 23 17:09:49 what does "apu" stand for? Nov 23 17:10:35 I need a good book on IEEE 802.11 and their drivers. Any suggestions? Nov 23 17:11:43 dansan: https://pcengines.ch/apu2.htm Nov 23 18:03:45 rmilecki: alo' Nov 23 18:08:45 and there goes my domoticz instance again :/ Nov 23 18:17:50 https://github.com/domoticz/domoticz/issues/2880 Nov 23 18:43:08 one day you'll learn :) Nov 23 20:38:29 stintel: could you test https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/staging/rmilecki.git;a=summary on Unifi AP AC Pro? Nov 23 20:38:30 russell--: could you test https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/staging/rmilecki.git;a=summary on Netgear WNDR3800? Nov 23 22:02:01 stintel: dmesg; cat /proc/net/nf_conntrack Nov 23 23:44:55 hi Nov 23 23:46:15 i can setup my 5ghz radio as ap and client at the same time but for the 2.4ghz radio only 1 mode at a time works why? Nov 23 23:47:09 and seems like even on the original firmware for the wrt1200 v1 wifi can't be adjusted (anymore?) ? what a pity **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Nov 24 02:59:58 2018
