09:58 < CIA-18> rene * r23663 /trunk/package/multimedia/transcode/ (4 files): * updated transcode (1.0.2 -> 1.0.3), marked Stable
10:08 < CIA-18> rene * r23664 /trunk/package/graphic/djvu2pdf/ (. djvu2pdf.cache djvu2pdf.desc): * added djvu2pdf (0.4) - A small script that converts .djvu files to .pdf files
10:09 < CIA-18> rene * r23665 /trunk/package/graphic/unpaper/ (. unpaper.cache unpaper.conf unpaper.desc): * added unpaper (0.2) - A tool to enhance scanned book page images
10:19 < rxr> Dallur: ok, bug fixed for real
10:19 < rxr> there wasa ->pScreen missing
10:19 < rxr> R7 patch in some minutes
10:19 < Dallur> rxr: really, your the greatest
10:20 * rxr wonders where that got lost as the gx1 and gx2 files are correct, ...
10:21 < Dallur> rxr: for some reason lx always gets the shaft, recently probably because the oltp is gx
10:21 < rxr> the OLPC is GX ?
10:21 < rxr> not LX?
10:21 < rxr> what a crap ...
10:21 < Dallur> rxr: I don't know why they went with GX, but they are still using the new companion chip
10:21 < rxr> no wonder that the AMD/OLPC re-created xf86-video-amd driver got a EXA codepath in gx2 and not lx ...
10:22 < Dallur> rxr: I know, Jordan Cruise apparently has been working almost full time on things for olpc
10:23 < rxr> gues they get the GX junk even cheaper than the cheap LX ...
10:23 < rxr> probably saves a cent here and there ...
10:24 < Dallur> rxr: I think it saves about $5 in retail oem prices
10:24 < Dallur> rxr: is there some sort of donation system for t2 or yourself ? Since I'm doing my work for a company I would like to suggest they donate
10:25 < rxr> not for T2, yet
10:26 < rxr> for me I had some donation buttons via paypal on the scanner driver page
10:26 < rxr> http://www.exactcode.de/site/open_source/saneavision/
10:26 < rxr> though I just notice the donation button was lost when the site was migrated from static files to Typo3 recently ...
10:27 < rxr> you can donate via Paypall to rene @ exactcode . de
10:27 < Dallur> rxr: great, I will send them a mail and suggest they donate :)
10:29 < Dallur> rxr: since you need a new Opteron and all
10:29 < rxr> :-)
10:29 < Dallur> rxr: although at the moment I am quite partial to the QX6700
10:29 < rxr> yeah - reference building 2800 packages including cross compile tests indeed eats lots of CPU cycles ...
10:32 < Dallur> rxr: to bad I had not discovered t2 before I started my project, I'm probably to invested in gentoo embedded at this point
10:36 < rxr> times change :-)
10:39 < CIA-18> rene * r23666 /trunk/package/xorg/xf86-video-nsc/xf86-video-nsc.desc: * updated xf86-video-nsc/geode-lx support patch to R7
11:10 -!- emte_ [n=emte@d64-180-45-14.bchsia.telus.net] has quit [Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)]
11:23 < Dallur> rxr: works great, what a difference
11:24 < CIA-18> rene * r23667 /trunk/package/graphic/xchm/xchm.desc: * updated xchm (1.12 -> 1.13)
11:24 < rxr> Dallur: good :-)
11:28 < CIA-18> rene * r23668 /trunk/package/security/clamav/clamav.desc: * updated clamav (0.90.1 -> 0.90.2)
11:30 < CIA-18> rene * r23669 /trunk/package/network/asterisk-sounds/:
11:30 < CIA-18> * removed asterisk-sounds, appears to be shipped within the vanilla
11:30 < CIA-18> asterisk package, now
12:01 < Dallur> rxr: flawless 720p decoding :)
12:02 < Dallur> rxr: to bad the highest resolution supported for xv is 1024x1024 otherwise I would try for 1080p
12:02 < rxr> I think the LX scaler can maximally cope wiith 1024x1024 pixels
12:03 < rxr> I can take a look into the spec if thats the real limit, or if that is just a define from another drived the file was copied from ...
12:03 < Dallur> rxr: This is crazy, 1.5Ghz Pentium Ms with xp don't handle 720 this well
12:10 < rxr> hm - the filter buffers are indded 1024 pixel
12:11 < rxr> wider images up to 2048 pixels are supported without filtering and scaling and flicker filtering in that case
12:11 < rxr> I could try if I could hack the driver up to support this, but I have doubts the image will look good
12:11 < rxr> or would you 1:1 display it without scaling to the actual output resolution?
12:11 < rxr> this includes that not even downscaling is supported, ...
12:11 < rxr> in that case
12:12 < rxr> btw. the scaler can maximal downscale down to, not including 2:1
12:12 < rxr> so - lunch time
12:15 < Dallur> rxr: Anything over 1024 is probably not going to work anyways, that would most likely push the cpu to it's knees before anything else
12:19 < Dallur> rxr: so no true 720 then :P
13:36 < rxr> CPU: AMD Geode LX-700@0.8W
13:36 < rxr> Dallur: the olpc lists the above as spec
13:36 < rxr> http://wiki.laptop.org/index.php/Hardware_specification
13:49 < rxr> Beta Test 3 Systems (BTest-3, or B3)
13:49 < rxr> This build, scheduled for May, is the first to use an updated design for the laptop. Noticeable improvements over BTest-2 include:
13:49 < rxr> A faster, lower power processor: the Geode LX-700
14:00 < mtr> rxr: I have a strange bash quoting issue in Build-Target now
14:00 < mtr> now == since Revision 23641
14:01 < rxr> .oOO
14:01 < mtr> the comparison < -o $y -le "$SDECFG_ABORT_ON_ERROR_AFTER" > generated the error:
14:01 < mtr> ./scripts/Build-Target: line 87: [: : integer expression expected
14:02 < rxr> appears I overlooked some occurances, hm ?
14:02 < mtr> removed the quotes around $SDECFG_ABORT_ON_ERROR_AFTER, and works again
14:02 < rxr> it's now $SDECFG_CONTINUE_ON_ERROR_AFTER
14:02 < mtr> no, sorry, copied&pasted from wrong line, SDECFG_CONTINUE_ON_ERROR_AFTER is there
14:03 < rxr> heh, ok
14:03 < rxr> though stange is I did not change quoting in this changeset
14:04 < mtr> but i do not understand why the quoting makes the difference now, whereas it worked before with the ABORT variable
14:04 < rxr> maybe due some other sideeffect the variable is not just "1" but "1 " ? or so??
14:05 < rxr> I changed (fixed) spacing in the choice indention
14:05 < rxr> maybe the tabs are to blame?
14:05 < rxr> what's the value in your config/.../config for this variable ?
14:06 < mtr> no special values, just the defaults:
14:06 < mtr> export SDECFG_CONTINUE_ON_ERROR_AFTER='4'
14:06 < mtr> export SDECFG_RETRY_BROKEN='0'
14:06 < rxr> hm
14:06 < rxr> interesting behaviour
14:07 < rxr> any votes?
14:07 < rxr> remove the quoting around the CONFIG_... occurances ?
14:08 < mtr> i've checked older config files, the have quoting around the numeric SDECFG_ABORT_ON_ERROR_AFTER, too
15:43 < Dallur> rxr: funny enough the OLPC seems to have changed their specs to exactly the same specs I have on the machines I am working on :P
