hi shinohai |
| 09:06 |
jurov |
http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/ moved to rk, updated |
| 09:07 |
shinohai |
Hey neato, glad the rk migration went well. |
| 09:11 |
jurov |
the OS is agreeable, only surprise was binutils-2.30 source isn't in distfiles |
| 09:11 |
jurov |
i needed only binutils-libs, found 2.33 which went fine |
| 09:15 |
jurov |
Next up is ml replacement (at first just web submission form with gpg checker). |
| |
~ 45 minutes ~ |
| 10:00 |
asciilifeform |
jurov: neato. appears to work |
| 10:04 |
asciilifeform |
jurov: when i baked the box, i set the default distfiles mirror to mine ; i expect virtually errything you need can be found there. ( when not, it'll attempt to fetch from traditional ones ) |
| 10:06 |
jurov |
asciilifeform: yes, everything was found locally, except binutils-2.30 |
| 10:06 |
* |
asciilifeform at some point will have mechanism whereby l1 folx can upload there |
| 10:07 |
asciilifeform |
jurov: my mirror is a composite portrait of the gentoo boxen i had when baked it. so evidently that item wasn't in these. |
| 10:08 |
jurov |
sure, just it baffles me you have never recompiled binutils? |
| 10:09 |
asciilifeform |
jurov: 2.31.1 is iirc is what recompiled when 'rebuilt world' during orig rk bake |
| 10:10 |
asciilifeform |
( and there's a number of earlier ones in there also ) |
| 10:10 |
jurov |
I have "GNU ld (Gentoo 2.29.1 p3) 2.29.1" and latest ebuild is 2.30 |
| 10:11 |
asciilifeform |
a |
| 10:12 |
asciilifeform |
at any rate, the contents of /usr/portage/distfiles from original 'world' of rk is in there, and likewise of 4 other gentoo boxen baked at various times. |
| 10:19 |
jurov |
yes, I'm not going to emerge @world, but as preconfigured, it would try to upgrade everything to -9999 or other versions that aren't in distfiles |
| 10:22 |
asciilifeform |
only if w/ --update |
| 10:23 |
asciilifeform |
iirc orig. did it w/ 'emerge -e --keep-going @world' . takes about 2 weeks... |
| 10:25 |
asciilifeform |
jurov: the kernel src oughta be in tarball in /root . |
| 10:25 |
jurov |
yes it is, already looked into .config |
| 10:26 |
asciilifeform |
zcat /proc/config.gz will get you the running one. |
| 10:26 |
asciilifeform |
kernel builds in ~40min on these (given -j4) |
| 10:28 |
asciilifeform |
jurov: best place imho to experiment w/ variant kernels for rk is a local one on desk, rather than the one in the cage, tho |
| 10:29 |
jurov |
/proc/config.gz is not there |
| 10:29 |
asciilifeform |
( on desk you can plug in the uart cable ) |
| 10:29 |
jurov |
no i don't plan to recompile, just wanted to check sth |
| 10:30 |
asciilifeform |
jurov: hm, possib. it wasnt in that build. if you rebuild kernel, add the flag |
| 10:30 |
* |
asciilifeform has 3 kernels to date for rk to date; gave jurov the default one used at piz |
| 10:30 |
asciilifeform |
recently i determined that the current mainline will in fact boot rk, incidentally. |
| 10:31 |
asciilifeform |
however when i bake for other people i usually give'em the oldest that worx adequately. |
| 10:33 |
asciilifeform |
jurov: if you do rebuild, dun fughet to mount /boot . |
| 10:33 |
asciilifeform |
(kernel on these lives on the microsd, i gave you a writable one) |
| 10:34 |
jurov |
ok |
| 10:35 |
* |
asciilifeform recently succeeded in building x11 for rk. however, no support still for the onboard vga, mine only worx w/ usb-to-display gadgets |
| 10:38 |
asciilifeform |
the onboard graphics apparently only worx, to date, w/ nvidia-style closed turdware. which rly defeats whole point of rk imho. |
| 10:38 |
asciilifeform |
at any rate not relevant to racked rk's. |
| 10:39 |
* |
asciilifeform into racked rk kernel did not even build support for keyboards/mice iirc. |
| |
~ 50 minutes ~ |
| 11:30 |
jurov |
the vga could be perhaps useful if it supported cuda/opencl acceleration |
| 11:31 |
jurov |
(tho i have no idea what to use it for other than mining shitcoins) |
| 11:32 |
jurov |
maybe if ffa was ported somehow... |
| 11:36 |
asciilifeform |
jurov: ffa builds on rk as of '18 |
| 11:36 |
asciilifeform |
w/out modification |
| 11:37 |
jurov |
asciilifeform: i meant on vga |
| 11:37 |
asciilifeform |
re vga on rk -- i built x11 to make 'briefcase laptop' outta an rk as experiment. but elsewise not much use for it afaik. |
