freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: cssu-devel *IS* testing-testing00:46
DocScrutinizer05when you think so00:46
freemangordonit is not broken by definition, just not for ordinary users. whatever it means these days (ordinary users)00:47
DocScrutinizer05definition of -devel been "for packaging testing"00:47
freemangordonhonestly, noone uploads stuff in -devel if it is not aimed for -testing00:47
freemangordonexactly00:47
DocScrutinizer05NOT supposed to ever provide packages to users00:48
freemangordonyep00:48
DocScrutinizer05only to peer devels maybe who want to fix bugs and cooperate on development00:48
freemangordonthe point is that stuff here is not "broken by definition"00:48
freemangordonaah, no, not only devels00:48
freemangordontesters are welcome too00:48
DocScrutinizer05of course, since as soon as it's not, it's supposed to not be on -devel00:48
DocScrutinizer05we by ALL MEANS need to avoid creating yet another extras-devel mess00:49
freemangordonsee, if we were/are 10 devels, then it would have been for devels only00:49
freemangordonbut we are not00:49
DocScrutinizer05and I promise you I will do my best to make that never ever happen00:50
freemangordonbut yeah, I guess we talk for one and the same thing00:50
freemangordonjust with a different wording00:50
freemangordonBTW I have to make a statement :)00:51
DocScrutinizer05though actually I stopped bothering a few months ago, I can't take care about CSSU anymore00:51
DocScrutinizer05actually I guess I can't take care about maemo anymore00:52
DocScrutinizer05too much hostility and too much other stuff on my plate00:52
freemangordonI will *NOT* write a single line of code or backport a patch or whatever in CSSU until I see there are active maintainers who actually give a shit to release updates00:53
DocScrutinizer05I'm out00:53
sixwheeledbeastfreemangordon: I see what you meant earlier now.00:56
freemangordonsixwheeledbeast: I am really sorry I have to make that statement, but honestly, what is the point of pushing stuff in -devel which never sees the light of the day.01:00
sixwheeledbeastI agree, I wouldn't like you to see to waste your time either. We all have lots to do.01:01
FIQuhhuh01:02
*** delphi is now known as trx01:07
freemangordonsixwheeledbeast: it is not about if I have something todo or not. It is about that I want to see what I do reaching the lusers01:17
okiashmm, it would be great if maemo got living ecosystem01:18
* freemangordon pukes01:18
freemangordonecosystem ?!?01:18
okiasyes (I hope it's correct term)01:19
freemangordonsure it is, but it still makes me wanna puke01:20
okiasI don't get it01:21
dos1well, there's probably a nice ecosystem of microorganisms in puke01:22
okias:D01:22
freemangordonokias: "ecosystem" is what large corprs use as a term to describe the "vendor lock in"01:23
freemangordonaiui01:23
okiasI mean it in way "living people around it, new apps, new development"01:23
okiasnot like "some kind of maintanance mode 4ever"01:24
FIQlol dos101:24

DocScrutinizer05>>Please keep the Maemo community up and running and continue to release software updates for the N900 via the CSSU. This also goes for porting Maemo/Hildon to the neo900 project! Thank you for all your hard work!<<02:53
DocScrutinizer05first donation to my Paypal this year iirc. 10USD which I have no scruple to spend for recreational purposes now02:55
DocScrutinizer05:-)02:55
DocScrutinizer05many thanks to the donor!02:55
RST38hDoc: Switching to Android? =)02:56
DocScrutinizer05(those of you who already search for the torch and pitchfork: I will book it against the expense for the scratchbox.org domain for this year, which i had to pay despite I asked HiFo to take over)02:57

*** lostak has quit IRC03:33
DocScrutinizer05afaik03:34

DocScrutinizer05yeah, but then... I think the fix actually been in a lib03:58
DocScrutinizer05and that lib prolly dynamically linked03:59
DocScrutinizer05I even seem to remember I been somehow involved into that, back when04:00
DocScrutinizer05there might be a ticket I created on that, with suggested patch etc04:00
DocScrutinizer05can't recall details04:00
DocScrutinizer05too fresh for my alzheimer, I only recall stuff from last millenium04:01

merlin1991freemangordon: I'm going to get into the stuff this week!04:28
merlin1991so far I've got my beloved n900 with -testing on it back alive, now I'm going to have a look at the various gitorous repos (and -devel) and will compare what is out there04:30
*** jonwil has joined #maemo-ssu04:33
jonwilhi04:34
merlin1991hey jonwil04:35
DocScrutinizer05relevant: http://en.qi-hardware.com/irclogs/qi-hardware_2012-01-21.log.html#t13:0604:38
DocScrutinizer05hey jonwil!! long time no see!04:39
jonwilbeen thinking about openssl and all the bugs that have shown up lately, see http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=93296&page=204:41
DocScrutinizer05hmmmm http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2012/02/01/904:48
DocScrutinizer05jonwil: yeah, somebody should look into that04:49
jonwilI suspect the number of cases where we have closed packages that would be broken as a result of upgrading to 0.9.8za is much smaller than it looks04:50
DocScrutinizer05:nod:04:52
DocScrutinizer05the guys fixing openssl are not boneheads per se :-)04:53
DocScrutinizer05if they can find a way to keep ABI compatible, they for sure will do04:53
DocScrutinizer05for any ABI break, you MUST use a new .so-name04:54
DocScrutinizer05~211904:54
infobotThe key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED",  "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119.04:54
DocScrutinizer05that's how dll stuff is supposed to get handled on unix04:55
DocScrutinizer05update up a lib never breaks stuff04:55
jonwilbut it isn't always done that way unfortunately04:55
DocScrutinizer05yeah, there are idiots out there. EVEN among lib developers ;-)04:55
DocScrutinizer05lickily odds are none of them among openssl maintainers04:56
DocScrutinizer05luckily even04:56
DocScrutinizer05openssl is highly mission critical, nobody would accept maintainers with no clue messing up stuff for everybody using *nix on this planet04:57
jonwilthe number of closed packages using openssl isn't as big as I thought it would be04:57
DocScrutinizer05the fix would be more devastating than the vulnerability it been caused by04:58
DocScrutinizer05I mean, *every* *nix system using openssl lib in mission critical programs. A bug/mishap resulting in a libssl update breaking stuff would be the mega-disaster for all IT running in this solar system05:01
DocScrutinizer05instant collapse of complete internet05:01
jonwilI do wonder if anyone got any further with figuring out how to replace the essential closed-source packages for the Neo900/FPTF stuff05:02
jonwili.e. the ones that need to be replaced05:02
DocScrutinizer05well, I just a few hours ago tried to talk freemangordon into finally starting to try and build a freEmantle from FOSS and see what's missing to make a working system, then push all this into a git repo so others can checkout and see what to do05:03
DocScrutinizer05[2014-06-09 Mon 01:05:11] <DocScrutinizer05> I thougth since freemangordon already has a working kernel 3.1x for N900, it woukd be naturally if _he_ would try http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1420525#post1420525 and then check in all that stuff into any conevnient repo under maybe "cssu-n900" or "neo900-n900" or "freemantle-rx51" or whatever05:05
DocScrutinizer05[2014-06-09 Mon 01:06:56] <DocScrutinizer05> Note Please: the thing doesn't even need to produce anything that works by whatever metrics, it just needs to provide the infra others can base on to carry on05:05
DocScrutinizer05[2014-06-09 Mon 01:09:52] <DocScrutinizer05> when somebody approaches me ans asks me "I want to help on freemantle! what shoukd I do?" (this happened several times already!) then I need to be able to answer something like "git checkout freemantle-n900 and see what's missing" - it doesn't help to tell that gal/guy "/join #maemo-ssu and ask freemangordon please!"05:05
DocScrutinizer05jonwil: ^^^ from #neo900 , you're welcome to /join ! ;-)05:07
jonwilhttp://wiki.maemo.org/Porting/Closed_Packages contains a list of the packages that still need to be replaced (rather than being able to be used as-is)05:09
DocScrutinizer05jonwil: thanks! :-) updated http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1372710#post137271005:13
*** javispedro has quit IRC05:14
jonwilbtw has there been any further hardware decisions made (i.e. exactly which hardware neo900 will use)?05:15
DocScrutinizer05err, we constantly do such decisions, and sometimes revert them later on05:15
DocScrutinizer05most recent thing we seem to have agreed upon: TiWi5 module (WLAN, BT, FM)05:16
DocScrutinizer05this "decision" started at http://projects.goldelico.com/p/neo900/issues/546/#ic1610 and yesterday we had a "looks good" chat05:19
DocScrutinizer05but that's actually a question ideally asked in #neo900 ;-)05:20
