00:04 < _Lewellyn> sweet. tonite i'll look at which utilities can be stolen as-is from sysv (maybe only one or two) and which can be used as a jumping off point to reimplementing them
00:05 < mnemoc> i'll replace wall with a cat for now ;)
00:05 < mnemoc> just to make echo | wall work
00:05 < mnemoc> well... not work, just not fail
00:06 < _Lewellyn> yar.
00:08 < _Lewellyn> i looked at a few wall implementations last night...
00:08 < _Lewellyn> sysvinit's is by far the cleanest
00:08 < _Lewellyn> solaris's scared me :(
00:09 < mnemoc> o.o
00:09 < _Lewellyn> i thought sysvinit's "did too much"
00:09 < _Lewellyn> it's relatively svelte
00:10 < mnemoc> what about a dumb loop doing 'write'?
00:10 < _Lewellyn> they all check to ensure the walling user exists, for one
00:11 < _Lewellyn> i think the \r\n handlinig is probably appropriate as well
00:11 < _Lewellyn> but it's definitely a re-write candidate :)
00:12 < _Lewellyn> i'm not sure i see the utility in the commandline options and syslogging is probably not useful
00:13 < mnemoc> usual bloat
00:13 < mnemoc> what about busybox's?
00:13 < _Lewellyn> as a rule, i like syslogging wall, but not here. and rwalld is dead
00:13 < _Lewellyn> url to buysbox's src? i failed to find a recent repository last night
00:15 < mnemoc> http://www.uclibc.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/trunk/busybox/
00:15 < mnemoc> does nohup auto bg?
00:15 < mnemoc> nope
00:16 < _Lewellyn> i got sysv's wall down to 85 lines, including the copyright.
00:17 < mnemoc> :)
00:17 < _Lewellyn> however, i think i see some possible buffer overflows o_O
00:17 < mnemoc> try to commit,
00:17 < mnemoc> i have to go home in 10 minutes
00:17 < _Lewellyn> lemme clean it up more first, this was just yanking stuff out.
00:17 < _Lewellyn> i'll be here for another couple of hours, so i'll be here when you get home. :)
00:17 < mnemoc> a README or AUTHORS or COPYING
00:18 < _Lewellyn> ya.
00:18 < mnemoc> just to test the access
00:18 < _Lewellyn> :w
00:18 < _Lewellyn> erp
00:18 < mnemoc> :)
00:21 < _Lewellyn> Committed revision 157.
00:21 < mnemoc> :D
00:21 < mnemoc> take a look into my shameless shutdown implementation :p
00:21 < _Lewellyn> i will :)
00:22 < _Lewellyn> gotta catch up to my work deadlines though.
00:22 < _Lewellyn> may have a conference call soon
00:22 < mnemoc> oh
00:32 < mnemoc> ok, bbl

08:00 < _Lewellyn> back from class
08:01 < _Lewellyn> mnemoc: i was talking with my instructor after class (it's an advanced network security class) and it turns out that he enjoys operating system design and it was the subject of his doctorate thesis...
08:01 < _Lewellyn> he volunteered to help with code reviews, if desired.
08:01 < _Lewellyn> also, i got wall down to less than 1K of source. i'll try compiling it in a bit :)
08:06 < _Lewellyn> well, < 1K for wall.c anyway.
08:07 < _Lewellyn> still working on rolling dowall.c into it.
08:25 < _Lewellyn> that file has a lot of cruft. :(
08:36 -!- minto_ [n=chatzill@82-217-66-150.cable.quicknet.nl] has joined #t2
08:37 < _Lewellyn> mnemoc: ok. initial add of the trimmed wall code. still can have quite a bit removed.
08:37 < _Lewellyn> hoi minto_
08:38 < _Lewellyn> i think i can get all of wall down to less than 3K of source. the hard part is the tty crap
08:52 < _Lewellyn> ok. off with me! :)
08:53 < _Lewellyn> need to actually sleep tonite so i can enjoy the theatre tomorrow

11:18 < CIA-9> * updated ghostscript (8.15rc3 -> 8.15.1) - fixes extreme PCL problems
11:18 < CIA-9> on my fathers Kyocera mito FS-1000+ laser printer ...
11:19 < rxr> so - the next issue solved ...
12:21 < valentin> moin
12:21 < rxr> moin
12:22 < rxr> valentin: still here ?
12:23 < valentin> yes
12:24 < rxr> hm - I can not call into the swiss from my parents phone
12:24 < rxr> nothing happesn - no ring tone ...
12:24 < rxr> stange
12:24 < valentin> oh ?
12:24 < rxr> either bug in their elco or disabled in the TK ? ...
12:24 < rxr> strange
12:24 < rxr> let my check my mails for mail
12:25 < valentin> did you use a call-by-call number ?
12:26 < rxr> nope
12:26 < rxr> but my paretns are by some preselection telco
12:29 < rxr> well - I got a mail - I reply and work on the issue ...
12:31 < valentin> did he say what he meant ?
12:34 < rxr> also thumbnailing
12:34 < rxr> but I think he means only thumbnailed tiffs get such sctripes
12:34 < rxr> I test right now
12:40 < rxr> hm
12:41 < rxr> indeed stripes in the thumbnail
12:41 < rxr> though I rather think this is a bug in a tiff thumbnail ...

20:40 < minto> hi folks
21:00 < minto> hmm, very crowded in here :)
21:01 < minto> mnemoc: I am off for another week, so I can leave noisy on again.
21:02 < rxr> re
21:02 < minto> rxr: Are you interested in messing around with noisy?
21:02 < minto> hi rxr
21:02 < rxr> minto: oehm
21:03 < rxr> well - I fear I have too much on my TODO list and on the norizon
21:03 < rxr> horizon even
21:03 < minto> no problem.
21:03 < rxr> I might get some more contract with Avision (a big scanner manufactor)
21:03 < rxr> and study started soon again ...
21:03 < rxr> not to mention the tiny 64bit sub-notebook below my fingers ,-)
21:03 < rxr> minto: maybe mnemoc wants to mess ,-)
21:04 < rxr> minto: how is your new house in the green ?
21:04 < minto> We just spend there a week.

21:04 < minto> It is very nice over there
21:05 < rxr> nice ,-)
21:05 < minto> But we rented the place for another week, we are still considering buying the place.
21:05 < minto> :)
21:05 < rxr> ,-)
21:05 < minto> That's also the reason why I can leave noisy on for a full week :)
21:05 < rxr> I thought so
21:06 < minto> Unfortunately I have no internet access over there, at least not yet.
21:06 < rxr> when will you be off again? soon or on sunday / monday ?
21:06 < minto> Tomorrow
21:06 < minto> we leave somewhere between 10 and 11 in the morning.
21:07 < rxr> oh
21:07 < minto> rxr: instead of building on your 64bit notebook, you could use noisy?
21:07 < rxr> so - have a nice weekend ,-)
21:07 < minto> thanks
21:08 < rxr> minto: yes - I could
21:08 -!- menomc is now known as mnemoc
21:08 < rxr> I bug mnemoc for the login then, right?
21:08 < minto> sure
21:08 < minto> since I am not able to log in anymore
21:08 < minto> I will try again tomorrow morning to get access.
21:09 < rxr> oh
21:09 < minto> I quickly tried to access it when I came home, but failed to get in. I hope no one else beside mnemoc of morfoh managed to get access to it.
21:09 < CIA-9> rene * r12207 /trunk/package/graphic/libtiff/thumbnail-fixup.patch:
21:09 < CIA-9> * fixed the broken libtiff/thumbnail tool - yay - t2 is the only
21:09 < CIA-9> distribution with a working tiff thumbnail now ,-)
21:10 < _Ragnar_> *lol*
21:10 < minto> mnemoc: it is okay to give rxr access to noisy if he asks for it.
21:11 < minto> hey _Ragnar_

21:16 < morfoh> hey minto
21:16 < minto> morfoh: why do you always show up when I intend to leave?
21:16 < rxr> _Ragnar_: took me 9 hours to debug thru the ugly filter code of thumbnail ...
21:17 < morfoh> minto: dunno ... sorry
21:17 < rxr> hi morfoh
21:17 < morfoh> hi rxr
21:17 < morfoh> rxr: btw, do we've sth. like a concept paper for future work like foo-% ?
21:19 < morfoh> minto: so .... how are you ? hope everything is fine ;)
21:21 < minto> morfoh: All is fine although I see everything a bit foggy (I guess I am tired)
21:22 < minto> Just spend a week only 15 minutes from work. Tomorrow we leave for another week. :)
21:22 < morfoh> minto: :)
21:22 < minto> It is in the middle of a forrest. very nive there.
21:23 < morfoh> minto: the "summerhouse" your presented some days ago ?
21:23 < rxr> morfoh: I'm not sure what kind of foo-% I would like
21:23 < minto> Yes.
21:23 < minto> I even started to work on my condition. But that is problably due to lack of internet access.
21:24 < rxr> morfoh: nothing is decided and paper research work always welcome
21:24 < rxr> cu later
21:24 < minto> bye rxr
21:24 < morfoh> cu rxr ... yeah indeed I've an idea
21:28 < minto> Morfoh: I have a full week of noisy on offer. Interested?
21:31 < minto> I will turn it on tomorrow morning. I guess you account is still valid. :)
21:32 < minto> I am off to bed now, gn8 all
