IRC log for #brlcad on 20070905

00:06.09starseekerHuh - it got the compilation time right this time.
00:20.48starseekerGOT IT
00:20.54starseekerI know why it's messing up.
00:21.44starseekerIn the portage ebuild sytem, ${S} is set to the source directory - in this case, /var/tmp/portage/sci-misc/brlcad-7.10.2/work/brlcad-7.10.2
00:22.57starseekerUnfortunately, src/other/tcl/unix/installManPage is also using $S
00:23.28starseekertest -z "$S" && S="$DIR/"
00:24.00starseekerMANPAGE=$1
00:24.00starseekerecho $MANPAGE
00:24.00starseekerDIR=$2
00:24.00starseekerecho $DIR
00:24.00starseekertest -z "$S" && S="$DIR/"
00:24.00starseekerecho $S
00:24.11starseeker/var/tmp/portage/sci-misc/brlcad-7.10.2/work/brlcad-7.10.2/src/other/tcl/unix/../doc/CrtCommand.3
00:24.11starseeker/var/tmp/portage/sci-misc/brlcad-7.10.2/image//usr/share/man/man3
00:24.11starseeker/var/tmp/portage/sci-misc/brlcad-7.10.2/work/brlcad-7.10.2
00:25.00starseekerBecause we didn't supply an -s option to the script, $S should be empty and $DIR/ should be in $S.  Thanks to portage however, $S is not empty.
00:34.05starseekerDOH - I should have checked the patches in the latest ebuild.  Nice to know I had the right idea, but someone already found it.
00:35.22brlcadyeah, that's how auto works -- and the --enable-all option effectively says "just use only internal versions"
00:36.02brlcadfor the ebuild, you'd probably want to --disable-[insert various here] or even --disable all and make them all ebuild deps
00:37.04starseekerThat's the "purist" approach that people have favored, but in a case where brlcad would succeed if it used its internal versions it would be a shame to have it die
00:37.09brlcadotherwise it should also work if you make them all deps, and just let auto do what it does, it should turn them all off if it detects the installed deps correctly, which it really should
00:38.13starseekerThat's an idea.  I just hate to compile tk8.4 when I know it won't do it ;-)
00:40.02brlcadthe build is consistent, if it compiles a dep then it's going to link against it and install it
00:40.34starseekerOK.  So the presence of an 8.4 version won't bother it if the deps have gentoo install it?
00:41.34brlcadwell tk8.4 as a dep would be wrong :)
00:42.06starseekerIf I tell it 8.5 it will die complaining about masked packages
00:42.11starseekeror unfound deps
00:42.12brlcadand no, it wouldn't bother it -- it'd just fail the tk usability test and build the 8.5a6 version
00:42.22starseekerwhich would be correct.  OK.
00:42.39brlcadyeah, like I said .. 8.5 is a pita until it goes final
00:42.45brlcadwhich is "any day now"
00:42.51starseekerhehe
00:42.52brlcadthough it's been that way for weeks
00:42.56brlcads/weeks/months/
00:43.03starseekerLike watching the stix fonts
00:43.17starseekerThey were "almost done" back in April, if memory serves
00:44.34brlcadyeah, issues came up in a5 though, so now a6
00:44.42brlcadhaven't heard if a6 had any major issues
00:46.05starseekerCollision with portage ;-)
00:48.26``Erik:D
00:49.29brlcadnot entirely fair as they overlapped .5 releases with new .4 releases for several of those years :)
00:50.16``Erikhehehe true... :D
00:50.27brlcadmore akin to 2.1 kernel and 2.0 development, by that same metric kernel is horribly slow cycles
00:50.59``Erikleenewx kernel development is awfully disorganized
00:51.30``Erikfbsd runs 3 release trees right now with a pretty decent cycle *shrug*
00:52.10starseekerI guess the next step for ebuild development is to convince the devs to allow the "auto" setting to optionally build the internal versions, and let brlcad have the /usr/brlcad directory with symlinks for some of the key binaries.
02:05.50louipcyeah it's a tough case to get all src/other/ pkgs seperate from brlcad, well I've had trouble with the itcl/itk, iwidgets
02:06.52CIA-4BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/NEWS: improved photon map irradiance progress reporting

08:48.30brlcadheh, speaking of tcl/tk release schedules, it looks like they're finally leaving alpha
08:48.52brlcadthey just tagged 8.5b1
08:49.11brlcadnot yet posted
08:49.18Laniakeabrlcad: do you think it would be possible to adjust the 10.0 brlcad to work also on OpenBSD 4.0? (4.1 is the latest)
08:49.25Laniakeathere's some problem with the tcl/tk
08:49.31Laniakeaor itcl or something like that
08:50.23brlcadLaniakea: if you give me a shell, I can see if I can sort that build out -- otherwise I can't reproduce it and from what I read between you and erik, he couldn't either
08:50.55Laniakeabrlcad: do you need a rootshell?
08:51.01brlcadnope
08:51.21LaniakeaBut you need X Server connection?
08:51.52brlcadnot really
08:51.56LaniakeaI am currently behind a NAT
08:52.09Laniakeabut I could give you shell when I get my cable modem delivered
08:52.16brlcadi just need a shell connection, presuming you already have compilation tools installed
08:52.32Laniakeayes already installed
08:52.40brlcadi can do everything I need over ssh
08:52.42Laniakeawe made it to compile, but mged didn't start up
08:52.50Laniakeayou can use ssh -Y if you need X connection
08:53.03Laniakeado you have IPv6?
08:53.08brlcadwhich is why I said I can do everything I need over ssh ;)
08:53.25Laniakeathat's what I meant so I make sure it's allowed in sshd config
08:53.42brlcadyeah
08:53.54LaniakeaI should just make sure my gay porn collections are not visible so you cannot figure out I am gay and then threaten me to tell my mother, lol :)
08:54.01brlcadcvs client would help too
08:54.07LaniakeaI have both cvs and svn
08:54.18LaniakeaDo you have IPv6?
08:54.21brlcadi don't have time to care about your pr0n collections
08:54.23brlcadyeah
08:54.32Laniakeawhich broker?
08:54.37LaniakeaOr do you have real ipv6?
08:54.44brlcadreal
08:55.28brlcadnot sure it's configured end to end appropriately, but it's good on my end
08:55.50brlcadthough not sure why that should matter ..
08:56.08LaniakeaCause I could try to figure out ipv6 connection then you could connect already today
08:56.15Laniakeasince I don't have Internet at home only at work
08:56.26Laniakeaand I cannot ask for a tunnel since that's not for work
09:02.28brlcadwell, whatever works for you -- if you get it to the point that I can "ssh -v user@somehostofyours" I can take it from there, otherwise I'll look at the build log but it really is hard (i.e. exceptionally time consuming) to go back and forth on build failures, tweak settings, rebuild, test, repeat, etc
09:02.56Laniakeayes ssh is better
09:03.00LaniakeaI don't have problem with ssh
09:03.02brlcadi'll also do the latter, but i get impatient
10:05.09LaniakeaDo you think it would be possible to use fluid bearings in skateboard instead of ball bearings?
13:34.40``Erikitcl/itk and iwidgets work with tcl85, but don't officially support it (e.g. 'make test' fails due to changes in error message phrasing)
13:39.34``Erikshoot, that upgrade broke my parallels install and I left the cd at home :/

14:49.47brlcadhm, what init.d item handles rpc under linux?
14:51.49brlcadgetting "Cannot register service: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection refused"
14:55.07``Erikummmmm portmap?
14:55.08brlcadthere it be, portmapper
14:55.21brlcadnever can remember that thing
14:55.26``Erikand different linux breeds use different names :(
14:55.32brlcadthat's why
14:56.57``Erikhttp://weblogs.java.net/blog/kirillcool/archive/2005/02/how_to_create_y.html
14:56.59``ErikO.o
14:57.04``Erikjava, but an amusing notion
15:54.51minuteBasic MediaWiki brlcad skin up, but the site doesn't actually do anything when it is switched on. I have a headache and need to get away from this for a couple of hours. Be back then with more ideas etc.
16:07.59MaloeranSo Erik, you really deserted us the Efnet #opengl old timers in #siggraph? :)
16:09.17MaloeranEven if we probably should have stayed in #opengl with our off-topic discussions long ago
16:23.10``Erikum
16:23.18``ErikI've been banned from siggraph for quite a while
16:23.24``Erikand have tried to get people to unban me O.o
16:24.28``Erikpre-marraige celebration? woohoo, body shots off of strippers!
16:42.22MaloeranNo, not that kind of celebration :). It would have been the real marriage but we under-estimated the delays involved in the paperwork and bureaucracy
16:47.46MaloeranThere doesn't seem to be any ban in #siggraph, I think it's unlikely that any bot would have got you on auto-ban
18:03.49``Erik:D
21:45.43``Erikwow debs are a royal pain to make.
