04:28.07prpplaguekergoth: thats the good thing about olive garden, almost all of he menu has notes for which wine to choose
04:28.15prpplaguekergoth: makes you look like a wine expert
04:28.29prpplaguefile[laptop]: night
04:28.33kergothhehe, she knows i'm not.  could always ask for a recommendation

04:30.10kergothSoopaman's right though, not very creative
04:31.12jacquestry the new maps.google.com :-)
04:31.17jacquesit's neat
04:31.20prpplaguekergoth: hehe, you could take her to the valentine special for http://www.medievaltimes.com/
04:31.28kergothjacques: very
04:31.31kergothjacques: i was impressed
04:31.35jacquesme too

04:31.39kergothheh
04:31.43prpplaguekergoth: as was i, but nothing in the west indies
04:31.51jacquesmuch faster than I expected (the scrolling around)
04:32.09kergoththe _one_ thing thats missing is zoom via the scroll wheel on the mouse :)
04:32.15kergothwell, and more map data, as prpplague points out
04:32.24jacqueslol I kept trying to zoom that way too
04:32.26kergothhehe
04:32.28kergothi think everyone did
04:32.32prpplaguekergoth: http://www.medievaltimes.com/castleTX/specials.htm
04:32.53prpplaguekergoth: iirc the imax theaters are doing a special
04:33.10kergothhttp://www.thegreenroom.com/ looks like a decent place.  been to deep ellum, but never went there
04:33.17Soopamankergoth, what kind of stuff does she like?
04:33.32kergoththats a pretty broad question
04:33.56prpplaguekergoth: yea been there, it seems nice, but you could always choose hooters as a fall back plan
04:34.01kergothhehe
04:34.14CP|HomeHooters is *always* an option... :)
04:34.22kergothprpplague: you've been there? how's the food?
04:34.27kergoth(at the green room, not hooters)
04:34.34jacquesI hear the wings are good... oh
04:34.38kergothhehe
04:34.38prpplaguekergoth: been awhile ago, but seemed nice
04:37.02kergothany ideas beyond food?  i need to get out more, i dont know the dallas area worth a shit
04:37.13prpplaguekergoth: water gardens
04:37.25prpplaguekergoth: oh if you are gonna do a card, make it by hand
04:37.36kergothwe went to the dallas arbaredum(sp?) a while back
04:37.37kergoththats pretty nice

04:41.17jacquesone time I bought a basket of stuff and really pissed my girlfriend off - the next year I made one. that worked a lot better
04:41.32kergothhehe
04:41.40prpplaguecdm: hehe, i thought of you when i saw the latest ipod commercial this evening
04:42.20prpplaguekergoth: hot glue gun and about $20 worth of stuff at hobbylobby will do your wonders
04:42.28jacquesthe pound of columbian blue mountain coffee beans probably helped
04:42.44kergothi'm not very artistic.  more literary.  maybe i'll write a love letter or something
04:43.02chouimat|Zzznight
04:43.06cdmprpplague: Life Is Random
04:43.09kergoth~lart valentines day
04:43.32prpplaguekergoth: that works too, but just grab a little wooden box in the hobby section of walmart to put it in
04:44.07kergothhm, good idea
04:44.43prpplaguekergoth: hehe, let me know if you need some help
04:45.01prpplaguekergoth: not that i'm an expert or anything, just have some experience, hehe
04:45.06kergothi've always been good at this sort of thing, but i dont know dallas very well

04:52.34sorphinkergoth: well, you do have the right to permanently ban him if he continuously does it
04:52.51sorphinconsidering the circumstances, i doubt timmy would object

04:53.40kergothjust a matter of time before his mask changes sufficiently to evade it
04:53.43kergothas i say, gets old

16:32.48prpplague*cough* note the last names of the crew!
16:34.36cdmprpplague, the trouble is that Linux doesn't have nearly enough market share in a desktop style environment to bother with it.
16:34.59cdmprpplague, there are open source tools for updating the iPod's database though.

16:44.29cdmthe fact that it acts like a 20G harddrive is bonus. ;)

16:57.49sorphincdm: my lyra does the same :P
16:58.21cdmcorporate BS?
16:58.36cdmsorphin, yeah sure.  The lyra is in the same league.  Although not nearly as nice. ;)
16:58.43prpplaguecdm: sorry don't mean to pick at you, i'm just curious as to apple mindset
16:58.50sorphinmy "lead" is being an ass about my time off in april and then for next week on the house closing
16:59.45cdmprpplague, not at all.  I really can't speak for Apple.  But given that some insane % of people are on Windows and then a smaller % on the Mac, it's hard to justify the amount of development time and testing to support Linux.
16:59.57cdmprpplague, honestly I would never want to try to support a closed-source, commerical product on Linux.
17:00.04cdmat least not for general consumption.
17:00.15cdmit's too much of a moving target.
17:00.31prpplaguecdm: yea, i think more to the point why create something that is not very standardized
17:00.51cdmprpplague, it's just a database of information.
17:01.24prpplagueTimRiker: morning
17:01.33cdmprpplague, so there really is no standard.
17:01.34TimRikerprpplague: how much does that job your vacating pay? =/
17:01.45prpplagueTimRiker: hehehe
17:01.48sorphincdm: matter of opinion on the ipod vs lyra
17:02.30cdmsorphin, yeah.  Can't account for taste (or lack there-of).
17:02.56sorphinguess i just proved all companies suck, no matter how much they claim they're 'flexible' w/ timeoff, etc
17:03.06TimRikerlooks like management here is going with nucleus instead of Linux. /me starts looking elsewhere.

17:04.18cdmTimRiker, interesting choice on their part.
17:04.58TimRikercdm: nod. obviously not the one I was encouraging.
17:05.56TimRikercdm: TI has a lot of history with Nucleus. it's small, and ports fairly easily. They are still not quite ready for a full OS apparently.
17:06.17sorphin~nucleus?
17:06.24kergothi could see going with nucleus if they actually had hard real time requirements or something, but i find that pretty unlikely
17:06.32sorphinprpplague: ditto
17:07.14TimRikeribot: nucleus is an RTOS see http://www.acceleratedtechnology.com/embedded/plus.php
17:07.15ibotTimRiker: okay

21:44.02jpablohis is there an easy way to generate a rootfs for an embedded system ? something like ptxdist, but one that actually works.
21:44.13kergothtry OE
21:44.14jpabloif it uses precompiled packages the best.
21:44.22kergothits used for a large number of embedded distributions
21:44.30kergothincluding openzaurus, familiar, opensimpad, etc
21:44.49CosmicPenguinand it smells great!
21:44.54jpabloyeah, already tried and failed :(, it would love something based in precompiled packages.
21:45.00TimRikerless filling!
21:45.07jpablosince i'm targeting an i586 machine.
21:45.23TimRikerjpablo: run debian. ;-)
21:45.37kergothdebian would be a good bet.  it isnt exactly built with embedded use in mind though
21:45.46kergothi really do recommend oe here.  i dont remember seeing you asking for help in #oe
21:45.53jpabloTimRiker: yeah, that's what i have now, but i would love something based in busybox.
21:46.06CosmicPenguinGentoo might be a good alternative too
21:46.18CosmicPenguinOf course you wanted precompiled, but gentoo takes the orce out of source compiling
21:46.19kergothor buildroot, but that doesnt exactly scale very well, or have a lot of apckages available
21:46.20jpablokergoth: i would double check OE :)
21:46.29TimRikerCosmicPenguin: well, gentoo would need a full dev env, no?
21:46.37CosmicPenguinTimRiker: yeah
21:46.45jpablokergoth: i want something glibc based, to buildroot is a no no.
21:46.45TimRikerdebian base is not tiny, but it's smaller than that.
21:46.54CosmicPenguinnod
21:46.56CosmicPenguinI didn't think of that
21:47.13TimRikerjpablo: buildroot will do glibc, but most folks only use it for uClibc.
21:47.14jpabloTimRiker: Tim Riker of BZFlag fame ?
21:47.26CosmicPenguinYou can make binary packages, so you could compile on another box,  but you would still need portage on your target
21:47.36TimRikerCosmicPenguin: true true.
21:47.39*** part/#elinux sorphin (sorphin@mewp.captainrock.com)
21:48.01TimRikerjpablo: also check the copyrights on most buildroot kits. ;-)
21:48.02jpabloso, i think i would double check OE.
21:48.08kergothhehe
21:48.49TimRikerjpablo: buildroot's don't currently handle packaging at all. oe does.
21:49.42TimRikerjpablo: so try oe and flame ... er contact kergoth with any issues you run into. ;-)
21:49.54jpabloi tried OE, got somehow confused with the machines and distributions things, tried a quick config and failed.
21:50.11jpablobut if it is the recommended way i'll try harder.
21:50.13kergothjpablo: you dont need to set a distro or machine, you can just set the TARGET_ARCH=i586
21:50.25kergothjpablo: and set INHERIT=package_ipk to emit ipk packages
21:50.27kergothand fire off a build
21:50.43jpablokergoth: a manual explaining all that would be good ..
21:51.10kergothTimRiker: thats because buildroot makes assumptions :)
21:51.13kergothbut yep, not quite as easy
21:51.25kergothjpablo: local.conf.sample explains it
21:51.35TimRikerkergoth: assumtions are good. at least you get started easily enough.
21:51.37kergothjpablo: if you want to reword it to make it clearer, send me a patch
21:51.55kergothTimRiker: yeah.  i should create a repo with a predone oe config for openzaurus for example
21:51.59kergothjust pull and run with it
21:52.10CosmicPenguinthats trouble waiting to happen
21:52.14TimRikeror a x86 boot floppy/cd
21:52.19kergothnod
21:52.33kergothcourse basically, we already have predone configs, in teh form of distros and machines
21:52.39kergothecho MACHINE=collie > conf/local.conf
21:52.44kergothecho DISTRO=openzaursu >> conf/local.conf
21:52.49CosmicPenguinThere is nothing wrong with teaching somebody to at least open local.conf and uncomment the "MAKEITWORK" flag
21:54.01kergothjpablo: i think we all agree that we need an OE users manual.  we have a users manual for bitbake, which outlines things like .bb file format, the commandline options, that sort of thing.  but nothing outlining _how_ we use that in OE.
21:54.15TimRikerCosmicPenguin: I think it's important to be able to watch it go. if you get a "unconfigured, please pick one of .... and type make <foo>" would work."
21:54.40kergothTimRiker: that wouldnt be hard to setup.  right now it sets the default target architecture to the build architecture, and same for OS
21:54.54kergothTimRiker: if you changed those two to raise a python exception when used, thatd force the user to set them.
21:55.16CosmicPenguinTimRiker: yeah, thats a good idea
21:55.20kergoththat wouldnt be a bad thing
21:55.30kergothi dunno how many times i get someone talking about 'c compiler cannot create executables'
21:55.38kergothbecause they didtn notice they failed to set it until half way through the build
21:55.39kergoth:)
21:56.20kergothalternatively, we could dump a display of some basic variables before a build starts
21:56.24kergothi.e. Building With:
21:56.28kergothTARGET_ARCH = i686
21:56.29kergothetc
21:56.46kergothso at that point the user goes oh crap, and hits ctrl+c
21:57.53TimRikerthat would help too.
21:58.17TimRikerstill need both svn and bk installed to get started?
21:58.55kergothyeah
21:59.00kergothwe really need to get bitbake itself into the major distros
21:59.17kergothcourse there are tarballs of both available
21:59.24kergothbitbake 1.0 and 1.1 released, can download that
21:59.34TimRikerI'd rather see the bk stuff moved to svn
22:00.14kergothwont happen, we actually _really_ benefit from bk there
22:00.20kergothfor people who maintain forks of our metadata
22:00.22kergothlike the nslu2 folks
22:00.32kergothwe can push/pull changesets back and forth between the openembedded repositories
22:00.45kergothalthough you can do that to a certain extent with svn using svk, it isnt as intuitive
22:00.46TimRikerif bb was in the distros, you'd still need bk to even get started, yes? so what's the point in putting bb in the distros?
22:01.41TimRikerthen the reverse question... why not put bb in bk? if you need bk to get started anyway?
22:01.51jpabloTimRiker: there are the bk exports in the page, that's what im using.
22:02.01jpabloi didn't install bk.
22:02.11kergothbecause bb doesnt need bk, it doesnt benefit in any way from it, and i dont expect OE to remain the only user of bitbake forever.
22:02.28kergothin fact, i'm planning on modifying portage-c to use libbitbake as its backend when the rewrite is complete
22:02.52TimRikerkergoth: you're still missing the point. the idea is to lower the barrier to entry as much as possible.
22:03.23kergothyes, I know.  but i'm not going to raise more barriers for everyone else.
22:03.24TimRikeryou ought to be able to have a very short list of commands needed to get started. the shorter the better.
22:03.48jpablomaybe a tarball can be generated containing both bb and oe, i think that would be easy ?
22:04.03TimRikerkergoth: meaning that there are people now who don't have bk installed but use bb? I'd be interested to know how many.
22:04.04kergothjpablo: that wouldnt be a bad idea.  make the snapshots contain both, for those not willing to use bk
22:04.35CosmicPenguinTimRiker: many people use OE from the snapshots
22:04.50TimRikerCosmicPenguin: and don't use bk for anything?
22:05.12CosmicPenguinTimRiker: yep.  I didn't use bk until I started pushing stuff back upstream
22:05.33kergothTimRiker: for a while we even had an automated patch gateway, using gpg for authentication.  pb_ used that for some time
22:05.38kergothTimRiker: also, there's a mirror in handhelds.org cvs
22:05.42kergothTimRiker: which is updated daily i think it is.
22:05.59TimRikerwell, the world is in hh.o cvs. so that's not a big plus.
22:06.12kergothits just one of many ways to get Oe without using bk.
22:08.22file[laptop]eek people

22:36.42kergothCosmicPenguin, TimRiker: http://www.pastebin.com/239849
22:37.07CosmicPenguinI like it
22:38.09TimRikerkergoth: hmm. but DISTRO _is_ set. no?
22:39.11kergothit is, but i could go pick a different distro that _does_ set the target os
22:39.22kergothits up to the people maintaining the .conf files to decide where such policy decisions belong
22:39.36TimRikerah. the message does not lead me to that conclusion.
22:39.44T0mWI was cooking something on the stove, went to grind some pepper into the pan and the grinder came apart.  PHOOM! pepercorns all over the freakin' kitchen!
22:40.06kergothTimRiker: how should it be reworded?
22:40.24TimRikers/does/may do/
22:40.55kergothah i see how you're reading it
22:41.07kergothi have .. set a "machine or distro which sets it for you"
22:41.14jpablogrr, the #!/bin/php thing breaks the files for mod_php.
22:41.15kergothyou have set a machine or distro "which sets it for you"
22:41.27kergothyou're readin git like set machine or distro if they're not set already
22:41.36kergothi'm saying set a machine or distro that does the right thing, not just _any_ machine or distro.
22:42.24TimRikerahh. then perhaps "choose a different..." ?
22:43.22kergothPlease set them directly, or choose a MACHINE or DISTRO that sets it. <-perhaps?
22:43.29TimRikergreat
22:43.31kergothdifferent implies i have one set already, which i might or might not
