IRC log of #cubox of Sun 19 Aug 2012. All times are in CEST < Back to index

01:07 N30N Oooh... thanks for the patch set cbxbiker61 :)
06:54 dung Why does Cubox kernel source tree take 3 times more space than normal
06:59 dung From Linux 2 to 3 on Cubox space of kernel source tripled!
07:02 dung *space or size, don't care (not english)
07:09 dung and sorry, i know now that there's no generic kernel for arm, except you build..
07:10 dung type-handling instead of linux
07:12 dung so most arm has to build his kernel.
07:22 dung good work!
07:59 dung Just started to trust Rabeeh..
08:00 dung don't piss on boots ;)
08:01 dung ..to myself
08:03 dung I have one pair of boots
08:26 dung type: cuboy
08:27 dung *typo
09:08 dung It's like a trick from marketing studiers: arm
09:09 dung make it extra complicated
09:10 dung each cpu needs its kernel, there's a hardfp version too and you get tree of it. wait, let's make two of three.
09:15 dung =6
09:19 dung have you merged git/rabeeh with upstream?
09:21 dung i'm a bit confused
09:21 dung have a nice day, i make mine
09:31 dung click
09:35 dung last: it's very strange that kernel source for cubox is thrice more in size than other
09:35 dung !
09:36 dung i'm just a white space killer for wiki
09:39 dung trice more meens: from 0.5G to 1.5G !
09:40 dung i called mrproper
09:43 dung Thirsty?
09:50 dung Bbug!
09:50 dung XOk
09:51 dung Let's make it more complicated and patch some tv stuff..
10:14 dung I'm proud to tell: Running an up-to-date X soft-float OS on Cubox only requires a rebuild of the xorg-dove driver (thanks to wiki: /usr/share/xserver-xorg/serverminver)
10:15 dung only in combination with Cubox Linux 2.6.32
10:16 dung i couldn't test more (it builds and i see X running from console)
10:17 dung no errors
10:18 dung well, that's just the rendering part (for me)
10:20 dung all other packages can be installed
10:20 dung and i guess they will work, for armel soft-float
10:22 dung decoding included (soft)
10:24 dung so if one takes care of ressources, maybe 1080p can be played on armel :)
10:27 dung mostly xbmc isn't working in the pre-installed Cubuntu
10:27 dung they need some patches
10:35 dung cbxbiker61? nothing bad!
10:36 dung but i hadn't time to wait for xilka
10:38 dung it differs to that i'm familiar (#install..)
10:42 dung i couldn't listen to your updates, so you have to listen to mine :)
10:43 dung i'm not sure if this kernel source ever gets into mainline linux. they are very pinky about white space.. haha
10:51 Thirsty rabeeh: Thanks, after I tested my v3.5.2 kernel, I'll send you a request.
10:52 Thirsty dung: Yes?
10:53 dung test
10:54 dung is it 1.6G big?
10:54 Thirsty what us 1.6G big?
10:55 dung size of kernel source
10:55 Thirsty is that whit or whitout the .git tree?
10:55 dung how much space??
10:56 dung ok
10:56 dung Oops
10:57 dung nearly 1G is git
10:57 Thirsty All versions of the git repository are stored in .git directory
10:58 dung I feel I had asked the same questions once before
10:59 dung Yes, but i know .git, but haven't done more than cloneing since a few weeks
11:00 dung With Cubox I learned switching between commits and reading logs
11:00 Thirsty I don't know how much the size expands after compiling the source
11:00 dung my fault, i haven't count .git
11:00 Thirsty oke
11:01 Thirsty git is also new for me, i understand the basics but I am no wizkid :)
11:07 dung I also missused git for binary versioning and learning :)
11:09 dung *abused
11:11 dung I have to come back from click-clack-wiki to console and continue the hard way
11:14 dung If in the right mood, i'm very careful. I learned how important that is when moving header before compiling
11:16 N30N dung: for handling binaries there's git-annex
11:21 dung aha! also after cloneing everyone has at least one repository. i try to manage branches of trees. for my home binary versioning, it saved me a some time to go back to a previous state.
11:25 dung it's wonderful how easy it can be: git init
11:27 dung ..and your working directory is a git repository
11:32 dung well, it's not yet clear to me how to call these and how they interact.
11:35 dung how is 3.5.2?
11:36 dung it's 3.6 now, but.. 3.5.0
11:39 dung it's not important to me at the moment. i'm still booting ;)
11:47 Thirsty 3.5.2 is a tag in git
13:46 dung it's a branch?
13:48 Thirsty yes it is a branch but more static.
13:51 dung cool, then just update once
13:54 dung btw, i slept a min
21:49 dung wow, we get very good rankings from google. the forum thread that started with the vfp patch is #14 for "linux vfp" !
