NotKitWizzup, do you have ARM hildon-desktop packages?10:38
*** N-Mi__ has quit IRC10:47
NotKitwonder if this can be interesting for Maemo UI - https://www.xda-developers.com/halium-is-an-open-source-project-working-towards-a-common-base-for-non-android-mobile-operating-systems/10:48

WizzupNotKit: do they only have chat rooms, or also a website? The article doesn't seem to mention one12:09
WizzupNotKit: no arm packages yet, waiting on amprolla. Reason to do intel first is that 3d accel is not a total mess on intel.12:10
Zungoactually since its pc, 3d accel support is more broad :)12:10
WizzupWhen I said intel I meant amd6412:16
KotCzarnyjust say x86_6412:16
Wizzupbut essentially anything with decent PCI support works OK with 3d graphics, as you can plug in an amd card12:16
WizzupKotCzarny: that'd not be correct :)12:16
KotCzarnyasnt amd64 just that?12:16
KotCzarny*isnt12:16
KotCzarnyunless context is something else12:17
KotCzarnyx86-64 (also known as x64, x86_64 and AMD64) is the 64-bit version of the x86 instruction set12:17
KotCzarnyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-6412:18
WizzupAMD64 was created as an alternative to the radically different IA-64 architecture, which was designed by Intel and Hewlett Packard. Originally announced in 1999[13] while a full specification became available in August 2000,[14] the AMD64 architecture was positioned by AMD from the beginning as an evolutionary way to add 64-bit computing capabilities to the existing x86 architecture, as opposed to Intel's12:18
Wizzupapproach of creating an entirely new 64-bit architecture with IA-64.12:18
WizzupThe first AMD64-based processor, the Opteron, was released in April 2003.12:18
KotCzarnyyes, but intel's 64bit x86 cpu joined it12:19
KotCzarnyThe original specification, created by AMD and released in 2000, has been implemented by AMD, Intel and VIA12:20
Wizzuphttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64#Industry_naming_conventions12:20
WizzupKotCzarny: it's still the name for it with all distros I use12:20
KotCzarnyyup12:20
Wizzupand since I wanted to refer to generic 64 bit x86, amd64 is the proper term12:21
KotCzarnyyup12:21
WizzupI didn't want to refer to intel-only computers12:21
KotCzarnybut people who dont know that could be confused by 'amd' part12:21
KotCzarnythat's why x86_64 or x64 is often used12:21
Wizzupbut ... nobody except the linux kernel and gcc :p12:22
Wizzups/but/by/12:22
infobotWizzup meant: by ... nobody except the linux kernel and gcc :p12:22
Wizzupanyway12:22
KotCzarnyand linux kernel and gcc are quite hard core of almost all linux systems12:24
WizzupI'd like to interject for a moment12:24

*** eMHa__ has quit IRC12:44
DocScrutinizer05Wizzup: x86 isn't intel specific, it's the canonical generic name for the IA. Intel64 would be intel specific12:47
Wizzup...12:48
WizzupIt's called amd64; I don't care if you think it's not sensible12:48
DocScrutinizer05yes, debian calls "it" that way12:48
Wizzupnot just debian. all distros out there except for ... dragonflybsd and some obscure linux ones12:49
DocScrutinizer05that's the way they call that build since it was originally done for AMD and later on worked for other manufacurers' CPUs as well. But the IA is x8612:51
DocScrutinizer05>>way to add 64-bit computing capabilities to the existing x86 architecture<<12:53
KotCzarnyia64 is itanium and compatible only with intel's itanium cpus12:54
KotCzarnyalso, doesnt gentoo use x86_64 ?12:56
KotCzarnysince it's relying on gcc so its more natural there12:56
WizzupKotCzarny: no, it uses amd6412:57
Wizzupbut guys ... big deal12:57
KotCzarnywell, they have 'amd64 (x86_64)' in their handbook12:58
KotCzarnyso they use both ;)12:58
WizzupIf you want to (un)keyword a package, you have to write ~amd64 verbatim12:58
KotCzarnystill, it doesnt matter much12:58
KotCzarnyjust saying that it might be confusing for noobs and requires some explanation12:59
KotCzarnyamd got themselves place forever in that part12:59
Wizzupthey deserve it.13:00
Wizzupbbl ;)13:00

NeKitWizzup, as for website, not yet, http://halium.org/ has only placeholder14:08
Maxdamantuswell, IA-64 simply isn't x86_64/amd6414:15
Maxdamantusfwiw, Linux uses x86_6414:17
Maxdamantusand the gcc target is usually x86_6414:17
Maxdamantus(I suspect those are bound to each other)14:18
KotCzarnyyeah, by instruction set for example ;)14:18
Maxdamantus"the IA is x86" sounds wrong14:19
Maxdamantusafaik, "IA" refers to Itanium, which .. again, afaik, is pretty much independent of x8614:20
KotCzarnyit is wrong14:20
warfareI think "IA" here refers to "Instruction Architecture" like m68k, armv7, etc.14:21
MaxdamantusOh.14:21
WizzupMaxdamantus: 11:20 < Wizzup> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64#Industry_naming_conventions14:21
Maxdamantusanyway, as long as noone calls it "x64" I don't mind.14:21
warfareMS does ;)14:22
MaxdamantusI know.14:22
KotCzarny;)14:22
Wizzupwarfare: they call it amd6414:25
Maxdamantus"instruction architecture" doesn't seem to be a common term.14:25
WizzupMicrosoft Windows's x64 versions use the AMD64 moniker internally to designate various components which use or are compatible with this architecture. For example, the environment variable PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE is assigned the value "AMD64" as opposed to "x86" in 32-bit versions, and the system directory on a Windows x64 Edition installation CD-ROM is named "AMD64", in contrast to "i386" in 32-bit14:26
Wizzupversions.[80]14:26
Maxdamantus"IA" in "IA-64" seems to just mean "Itanium architecture"14:26
Maxdamantus(there's of course the common acronym "ISA" though)14:26
warfareI might just have mixed this up :)14:27
Maxdamantusalso, even though debian calls it amd64 in its packages, I think it uses "x86-64" in the filesystem.14:29
Maxdamantuseg, I think it has some /lib/linux-x86-64 or something directory.14:29
jon_yvendor neutral pronouns :)14:29
WizzupMaxdamantus: that is per binutils/gcc more than choice14:30
Maxdamantus/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu14:30
Wizzupthat is the gcc tuple name, isn't that obvious?14:30
Maxdamantusas for vendor neutrality, as Wizzup's link said, AMD called it "x86-64"14:30
jon_yUEFI calls it x6414:31
jon_yBOOTX64.EFI as defined in the specs14:32
* Wizzup checks the channel name and seems #maemo, not #pedants14:32
* Wizzup shrugs14:32

KotCzarnyit's irc, which has 'internet' as a first word14:33
KotCzarnywhich means, we have to be 100% correct!14:33
WizzupOr, be incapable of realising that we all agree in the first place, and instead argue on forever about meaningless things14:33
bencoh:) (or rather :( in that specific case)14:34
bencohWizzup: regarding halium, the article mentions #halium@freenode, halium on telegram, and #halium:matrix.org)14:35
WizzupYeah; exactly, but no website to quickly get an idea of what they'll do14:35
