<sneek>almuhs, you have 1 message!

<sneek>almuhs, Pellescours says: I tried upgrade src sources on debian package to netbsd10, only netbsd-builds.diff and clean_external needed to be upgraded (lines number changes). It started to compile well unfortunately my VM froze and I did not finished. I think it

<almuhs>a simple question: in a patch, what is the meaning of this line? @@ -2260,14 +2375,14 . Why the number of line is not the same in the - and the + ?

<youpi>it tells where the hook applies

<youpi>when there are hooks before that, the 'where' is different in the original file and in the patched file, that's why

<almuhs>because the second block of code was added before add another block of code in previous lines

<almuhs>ok. I've updated netbsd-builds.diff and clean_external patches

<azert>solid_black: in regards to barriers for io, we better port netbsd ones since linux's are gplv2 only. Also netbsd kernel is overall very silmilar to gnumach

<azert>here is their gic driver https://github.com/NetBSD/src/blob/trunk/sys/arch/arm/cortex/gic.c

<azert>I don't know what are copyright rules for gnumach. We surely cannot stick FSF-Boston copyright on this

<azert>and frankly I don't see why you are sticking that on your code. not that it's my business

<azert>I wonder who is the netbsd foundation guru and what's his name, just out of curiosity

<azert>this copyright bs is probably the reason linux won

<damo22>azert: no linux "won" because they didnt care about freedom they were focused on sending patches to linus that made their business machines work

<almuhs>Pellescours: is this modification correct? I modified netbsd-build.diff https://pastebin.ai/bpgmqf17ps

<almuhs>and this is clean_external https://pastebin.ai/log17uomei

<almuhs>I copied the src directory and modified these patches, but i get this error ERROR: HOST_SH=" sh" is not an absolute path

<Pellescours>almuhs: yes, it seems correct

<Pellescours>that's strange you get the error

<Pellescours>does it happens at the beginning or at the ed of the build ?

<almuhs>i copied the code from cvs. I will try again with github sources

<almuhs>same issue

<almuhs>Pellescours: could send me your modified patches? or even your full rumpdisk directory

<almuhs>i start from "dpkg-source -x rumpkernel_0~20211031+repack-4.dsc", and then replace the src/ from buildrump.sh with the netbsd-10's src directory. And replace the patches with the modified versions

<almuhs>and try to compile with "dpkg-buildpackage -B -uc"

<Pellescours>i can't until sunday/monday but I will do

<almuhs>ok, thanks

<azert>solid_black: for the other bug, the gic that is not initialized. I think we should brutally copy what netbsd has done for in-kernel arm hardware support

<azert>well, probably he is out over the weekend.. let's discuss on monday
