<fossy>stikonas[m]: yep, i'm going to update the README after kernel bootstrapping has matured + GCC 12 to reflect the more complete state - i'll add it then <stikonas>fossy: I've also just mentioned on parallel bug that I haven't seen it locally yet either <stikonas>though I haven't ran it that many times yet <fossy>rickmasters: just read through the hard drive stuff - glad to hear that's fixed! what size is the ext2 image now? <fossy>stikonas: yeah, i was very surprised to see that <stikonas>so at least in CI something must be going on... <fossy>what, py3.4? when was the other time? <stikonas>so CI passed on PR but then failed on merge commit <stikonas>maybe it's only happening on slow systems (like CI runner is) <fossy>quite possibly, i'll try a --cores 2 build <nektro>does stage0-posix have docs/milestones on when releases are generally made? <stikonas[m]>Just need to ask oriansj once we feel that there is enough new stuff <stikonas[m]>nektro: this time I've added changelog for the first time <rickmasters>fossy: The ext2 image is 1152MB, same as the ram drive. <rickmasters>fossy: I need to work on performance. It takes builder-hex0 22 minutes to copy the image to the drive. <stikonas[m]>nektro: but in general don't expect too much new stuff in stage0-posix... It's getting harder to add extra features to M2-Planet... <fossy>rickmasters: are the performance improvements clear? <nektro>i only ask because i was trying to build mes on my system and running into issues because it seems built against stage0 1.5.0 but stage0 1.5 runs into an infinite loop building catm <nektro>*building on amd64 native, not inside live-bootstrap btw <nektro>both mes master and wip-x86_64 have different issues <nektro>not triyng to put anyone in a rush <fossy>hm, what do you mean, an infinite loop building catm <rickmasters>fossy: I think so. It's a byte-by-byte loop that goes through a couple functions before pushing one sector. <fossy>cool, fwiw, i'm quite ok with it taking a few minutes (but if it was less than 22 minutes, that would be quite preferable!) <fossy>it doesnt need to be seconds range or anything like that <nektro>ill switch mes to x86 and try 1.5 again <stikonas[m]>nektro: infinite loop is strange though. I think stage0-posix should have a good amd64 support... <rickmasters>fossy: I think I can get it down to a few minutes. I'll work on it tomorrow. I'm signing off for now. <nektro>no, im referring to the stage where its built with hex2 <nektro>ill walk the commits and find where it got fixed <nektro>had the command wrong, not sure why it appeared to be working before lol <oriansj>just a thought but why would builder-hex0 need to build a partition and move all of the source code onto it? Can't we just punt by making a source ISO and let FIWIX mount it? <fossy>that is a possibility, but 1. for real hardware that assumes CD-ROM drive which isn't very common 2. requires the existance of a filesystem already - builder-hex0 has a very primitive filesystem definition that is heading in the direction of a minimal-preparation bootstrap
