viric | did I hear that debian is going to stop doing mips(el) builds? | 14:40 |
---|---|---|
larsc | if no one steps up to fix MIPS problems | 15:05 |
larsc | viric: there is your chance ;) | 15:05 |
viric | me? debian? no, thank you :) | 15:06 |
viric | where are the problems, though? In what software? | 15:07 |
larsc | Just in general | 15:07 |
viric | I guess it's more the lack of users/developers than the problems. All have problems. | 15:08 |
kristianpaul | mess? or porting issues? | 15:08 |
larsc | The Debian process requires someone who is going to take care of issue if they arise | 15:08 |
larsc | E.g. if a package doesn't compile anymore on MIPS after a compiler upgrade | 15:08 |
larsc | Cause the whole compiler upgrade is going to be blocked until the issue is resolved | 15:09 |
viric | ok, lack of responsible at the debian organisation | 15:09 |
viric | no surprise. | 15:10 |
viric | I can only say that, on the FOSS world, I'm very positively impressed how they managed to gather responsible people | 15:10 |
kristianpaul | lack of use i bet, how many serious services stand on mips? | 15:11 |
kristianpaul | i meant for debian infraestructure | 15:11 |
larsc | The internet | 15:11 |
larsc | ;) | 15:11 |
larsc | but probably not running debian | 15:11 |
viric | :) | 15:11 |
viric | yes, there are tons of routers/switches | 15:12 |
viric | mips. | 15:12 |
kristianpaul | larsc: indeed /not running/ | 15:12 |
larsc | well anyway, time to get some food and then be a virtual booth representative | 15:13 |
kristianpaul | new job? | 15:16 |
viric | larsc: on second life? | 15:19 |
larsc | kind of http://engage.vevent.com/index.jsp?eid=2781&seid=15 | 15:27 |
viric | very good | 15:32 |
larsc | sign up now and win an iPad mini ;) | 15:34 |
viric | :) | 15:47 |
GNUtoo-x60 | hi, | 21:20 |
GNUtoo-x60 | I'm looking again at the milkymist status after all theses years, | 21:21 |
GNUtoo-x60 | I saw there is a new version of the hadware in early bringup, | 21:21 |
GNUtoo-x60 | I wondered the current status of the "software" on the milkymist, and what was the differences between the milkymist and the mixxeo | 21:22 |
GNUtoo-x60 | I've downloaded some sources, | 21:22 |
GNUtoo-x60 | I've looked at the milkymist-ng repository, | 21:22 |
GNUtoo-x60 | the README says that migen is a dependecy | 21:23 |
GNUtoo-x60 | I heard that migen generate code like VHDL(maybe not VHDL but some code in VHDL or similar languages), | 21:23 |
GNUtoo-x60 | I've looked a bit more in milkymist-ng repository, | 21:23 |
GNUtoo-x60 | it's strnage: I can't find any dependency on fpga vendor tools, | 21:24 |
GNUtoo-x60 | is that problem fixed? | 21:24 |
GNUtoo-x60 | by vendor tools I meant non-free syntetizer | 21:24 |
GNUtoo-x60 | I've also looked at arch/*l* | 21:25 |
GNUtoo-x60 | in the mainline linux kenrel | 21:25 |
GNUtoo-x60 | I found no lattice32 or directory that looked like that | 21:25 |
GNUtoo-x60 | I'll look in the kenrel sources from the milkymist project for that... | 21:25 |
GNUtoo-x60 | btw the http://sharism.cc/ website seem down | 21:27 |
GNUtoo-x60 | ha, maybe it's the wrong channel, | 21:30 |
GNUtoo-x60 | they say to use #milkymist in the README of the git | 21:30 |
DocScrutinizer05 | latest madness: Neo900 goes FreeCalypso modem option ;-P | 21:50 |
DocScrutinizer05 | for RMS and his disciples | 21:51 |
DocScrutinizer05 | http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1376708#post1376708 | 21:53 |
DocScrutinizer05 | roh: N900 refurbished: ~100 EUR | 21:56 |
DocScrutinizer05 | so we hardly can get any worse than those 100 bucks, for all the missing case_et_al parts to build a complete phone around a GTA04-NeoN | 21:57 |
roh | nice | 22:07 |
DocScrutinizer05 | of course that assumes we can reuse parts like domesheet that are marked "Do NOT reuse! Dispose and get new part", in N900 service manual L1_2 | 22:12 |
DocScrutinizer05 | and I got a mail today that offers substantial 4 digit donations for accomplishing the protoboard development and building. Let's see if deeds will be louder than words here, in the positive sense | 22:20 |
wpwrak | that calypso has more lives than a bag of cats ;-) | 22:21 |
DocScrutinizer05 | indeed | 22:21 |
DocScrutinizer05 | not that I like this fact | 22:21 |
DocScrutinizer05 | ;-) | 22:21 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I'd rather forget it ever existed | 22:22 |
DocScrutinizer05 | but that guy came up with the idea to build a FC-modem and place it onto GTA04-NeoN, to get a *really* free phone | 22:23 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I doubt I will ever consider actually building the modems, for sure not the prototypes. But if they exist eventually, we should make sure they will fit in Neo900 | 22:24 |
