buZzWizzup: whats the 'so...' ? :D you think that there might droid4 ones on/in your archive.org desk?00:05
buZz+be00:05
WizzupbuZz: no but we could order00:08
buZzah, yes, probably :)00:11
inkyoh, what about d3 support in kernel? did i miss something important or it's the same yet?17:23
Wizzupsame.17:46
freemangordonhi there, /me was on a small vacation, did I miss something?19:24
Wizzuphi!19:24
Wizzupglad to hear you're back, I was getting worried :D19:25
Wizzupfreemangordon: I highlighted you a bunch of times, let me find it19:25
WizzupOne highlight was about 32bit qemu for image builders, we stopped doing it, but the EINVAL error is still there in scandir, but the images seem to work ok19:25
Wizzupthe other thing was for a PR for hildon-desktop, https://github.com/maemo-leste/hildon-desktop/pull/2319:25
WizzupAnother question was about thoughts on perhaps not having all the -mr0 translation packages installed for -all- languages at all times (I think it's about 150MB), and I was looking at making smaller images, but currently our various packages hard-depend on the -mr0 packages19:26
freemangordonyeah, ok, thanks, will have a look as soon as I have some spare time19:28
Wizzup:)19:28
freemangordonnot today though, I just came home from 10 hours driving19:28
Wizzupgreece?19:29
freemangordonsure ;)19:29
Wizzup:D19:29
freemangordoncorinth19:29
Wizzupoh yeah that's quite a drive19:29
WizzupI'll be in the US for 2 weeks starting this weekend, but will be available19:30
freemangordonwe took the kids (well, the youngest of them being 18, but still) to see the acropolis, the ancient corinth, the epidavros, etc19:30
freemangordona nice journey19:30
freemangordonok, great19:30
Wizzup:)19:30
freemangordonI will resume my work on ofono/connui-cellular19:31
freemangordonwe made a deal with ofono maintainer that he will took a patch in call forwarding code that breaks the API if I write it :)19:31
freemangordonso yeah19:31
Wizzupsounds good19:32
freemangordonok, have to unpack stuff, ttyl19:33
siceloheh, postmarketOS just started releasing systemd-based device images20:27
Wizzupwith musl?20:27
Wizzupdoesn't seem like alpine linux supports it still, does it20:28
siceloi haven't looked yet to see how they did it20:29
sicelohttps://postmarketos.org/blog/2024/03/05/adding-systemd/20:35
siceloso they packaged systemd outside of Alpine, and patched it to work with musl.20:36
Guest7281hello how is pinephone support?20:49
Guest7281i see old kernel in the wiki20:49
Guest7281>Kernel version 5.1520:50
Wizzupsicelo: lol21:22
siceloit's because of KDE and Gnome ... which they have users for. both appear to be a pain to use without systemd21:26
sicelos/because/partly because/21:36
Wizzupsicelo: sure that's intentional I am sure21:53
Guest7281is the pinephone wiki updated?21:54
WizzupGuest7281: the wiki might be out of date21:54
Wizzupas for the kernel version, we do update it some times, but not -super- regularly21:54
WizzupI have a pinephone here, and rafael2k also does regular work on it, he's working on pinephone pro atm21:55
Guest7281no FDE?21:55
Wizzupno, no fde currently21:55
sicelowell it seems alpine themselves are second-guessing their usage of openrc, https://social.treehouse.systems/@ariadne/11204494129077932021:55
Guest7281mobian/debian have osk-sdl. does maemo use dracut rtoo?21:55
siceloGuest7281: no21:56
Guest7281what does it use?21:57
sicelonothing :-)21:57
Wizzupwe don't use initramfses yet21:58
Guest7281I thought that you need to have something21:58
sicelono, kernel can boot all the way and directly handover to the regular userspace21:59
sicelothere are things, such as FDE, that sort of require an initramfs, or that work better with it, yes21:59
Guest7281does Devuan have it? they have FDE21:59
sicelodevuan? i don't think they have images for pinephone. sure you can build something for yourself if you want to22:00
sicelobtw Wizzup, do we have a bigger reason (other than manpower/time) for not using an initramfs?22:01
Guest7281isn't Maemo based on Devuan?22:01
Guest7281that's why I asked22:02
siceloit is based on Devuan ...22:02
sicelomaybe rephrase your question :-)22:02
Wizzupyes, we do want to do FDE eventually, yes, initramfs would be good, also for splash screen, btrfs boot, etc, but it does complicate some matters22:02
Guest7281does Devuan have initramfs?22:02
WizzupI'm totally in favour of people adding this22:02
Guest7281no btrfs?22:03
Wizzupbtrfs raid boot22:03
Wizzupmultiple device22:03
sicelook. maybe a github issue should be created, so someone can hopefully pick it up someday22:03
Wizzupit's not a matter of whether devuan supports initramfs (it does), but rather of the specialised nature of mobile phones and their boot processes being a bit more ... special22:03
Wizzupit's not -super- hard, it just hasn't been a priority22:03
Guest7281wait pmOS betrayed Alpine creed/philosophy by using systemd?22:04
sicelohehe,22:05
sicelobut Alpine is also no longer sure about their own stand on that .. https://social.treehouse.systems/@ariadne/11204494129077932022:05
siceloof course that's just a developer's viewpoint, not the project as a whole. that's core dev though22:06
Guest7281just one dev so22:06
siceloyes, point is - maybe openrc isn't living up to the promise (or hype?)22:07
siceloanyway, not really relevant for us here22:08
Guest7281can you use runit here?22:09
siceloif you put in the work, i would say, Yes22:10
Guest7281i mean by default as Devuan22:10
siceloactually someone made Leste to run systemd. unfortunately they went MIA before they could share their code22:10
siceloi don't run Devuan myself, so i don't know what init systems it provides. i suppose it should support runit22:11
Guest7281yes it does22:15
Guest7281*fortunately22:16
Wizzupsicelo: that post reads as systemd made up so many new apis that it's hard to support all the systemd specific apis23:15
Wizzupnot a suprise there, but openrc does tings just fine as an init system23:15
Wizzupbut if you expect it to be systemd, well, it's not23:16
Wizzupin any case the init system doesn't really matter to leste as much23:17
