RE: [t2-svn] rev 30132 - trunk/package/x86/grub

Rene,

Does this patch set include GPT support? Also are there any plans to add GRUB 2? I know this has GPT support and
support for partitions bigger than 2Tb. (my system has 4Tb of disk space and was a royal pain in the arse to
get working)

Thanks

Adam

[ANNOUNCE] new & CGI based IRC logs

Hi all,

thru the t2 website statistics I noticed irclogs where broken (due to 
changed
permissions on the server) for some weeks, already.

As restoring was just a matter of flipping a permission bit, I noticed 
the old
IRC logs looks awful, and did not integrate into the site menu navigation.
So people who accidentally hit a IRC log thru Google (or your favorite
search engine, Cuil, Yahoo, ...) people foreign to the T2 SDE had no
easy chance to discover T2 by clicking on the most appealing menu entry.
Instead they had to manually edit the URL field and remove the irclog part
of the URL to get to the main T2 site.

This is fixed, now by rendering (pretty printing) the IRC log directly into
our site content thru CGI, and thus enabling normal menu naviagation and
an easy way to discover T2 thru random search engine hits, enjoy:

  http://www.t2-project.org/irclogs/

PS: Yes, I know the index takes some time to generate due excessive single
file stats, I might work on improving this later.

Yours,

Libhid-package

Hi,

My application requires libhid to facilitate communication with HID-style USB
devices. A not-so-well-supported smartcard reader in my case.

Libhid is autotools-based and is another trivial to make T2-package. All I had
to add is a "autogen=1". Find my suggestion for a package attached.

Fantastic system!

Ciao, MM

server does not start:
INIT: Id "X" respawning too fast : disabled for 5 min

messages are:
---------------------------------------------------------
XcfgT2 (C) Rene Rebe ...

espgs <-> gpl-ghostscript ?

Hi All,

I am wondering why the ghostscript (espgs -> according to their web site
merged into gpl-ghostscript, not developed any more) is included in the
'generic / minimal desktop' target instead of gpl-ghostscript. I have
compiled gpl-ghostscript more than once successfully, till now have not
experienced any regression.

best regards,

Re: hostapd

Dear Adam,

Adam Stirk wrote:
> Hmm, what I was thinking of doing was detecting if the madwifi package has been installed with
"pkginstalled madwifi" and from this altering the .config file to include the madwifi bits. Then I just
need a way to get the madwifi source into the hostapd package so that I keep it generic and could be used by
everyone. Is there a way without adding madwifi to hostapd.desc file?

As, this way it is possible, two and you can use the same 
match_source_file to
get the source tarball of the madwifi package, draft skeleton like:

if pkginstalled madwifi; then
    file="`match_source_file -p . madwifi`"
    # exact and add to configure (or so, etc.)
fi

The arguments to match_source_file are regex to match, by default
of the currently building package, with an additional parameter of the
package specified.

-p to print the whole t2 related download location, otherwise just the
filename as it.

bzip2 v1.0.5 - symlink -> hardlink

Hi All,

bzip2 1.0.5 (unlike version 1.0.4) use hardlink instead of symlink for
/usr/lib/libbz2.so.1.0 Apparently Midnight Commander (maybe other packs
too) does not like (ie it fails compiling) this. I am not sure how to make
some "postmake" hook for handle this. Please, help!

best regards,

Re: Libusb stopped building

Hi,

the issue is pure header include order and include_next related. There 
is no need
to mail the VM, I can reproduce it. It's just that I thought from a 
glibc based
test build it would be globally fixed now, but I also already have a 
uclibc build
with the error.

I now debugged something else for a client already this night and we have
guests this weekend. But this issue is very high on my TODO list now to
look at next.

Schönes Wochenende,
  René
