<gnucode>Gooberpatrol_66: bummer. according to this page, zfs is not bundled with rump yet <gnucode>or maybe it is...but the testsuite is not written yet. <azert>Unless the Hurd uses the netbsd buffercache <damo22>everything that uses raw irqs should be going through libirqhelp eventually <azert>Hi damo22, what does uses libirqhelp for now? <gnucode>rumpsound is easier to say...going with that. <ZhaoM>hi when I use device_open(...,"rtc",..) it said no such device, is this the correct way to access rtc device? <etno>Hi ! I am trying to fix netsurf in Debian and the only issue is the usual PATH_MAX thing. <etno>I am curious about the realpath() function, though: when the return parameter (second) is provided, the man page states that it will be filled up to PATH_MAX; so implicitely, PATH_MAX would be defined ? <etno>The glibc code uses PATH_MAX if defined, pathconf(_PC_PATH_MAX), and fallbacks on.... 1024 <etno>Overall, since the strategy seems to never depend on a fixed length for the paths on the Hurd, I would be tempted to never use realpath with a non-NULL return parameter. WDYT ? <azert>etno: #define PATH_MAX 1024 then move to do interesting stuff <azert>I don’t think that netsurf is GNU <azert>You might want to open a bug to glibc for what you mentioned <azert>And one to the Hurd for limiting path length to 1024 de facto <azert>Let’s wait for the trolls to bash me <etno>I just want a reasonable browser available in this distro. I am open to other suggestions. <azert>etno: I think you didn’t read me <azert>The PATH_MAX is 1024, just define it, there is nothing in netsurf preventing you from doing that <azert>You are doing a service to the community <azert>Don’t reply if you feel uneasy with this question: Are you a Christian? <etno>I understand that removing PATH_MAX is not really reasonable; but I wouldn't use the Hurd if I was, would I ? <azert>What staggers me is that the same MIT graduates that made this policy then violated it plenty <azert>And fail to acknowledge that this is an inconsistency of POSIX <azert>As well to acknowledge that they hate unix <etno>haha, ok, now I don't know what to do <Gooberpatrol66>damo22 i read gnucode was organizing something for the 12, maybe that was pushed back <ZhaoM>hi how do I know what devices can be opened with device_open()? <ZhaoM>please ignore my questions :). I found dev_name_list in device/conf.h <gnucode>Gooberpatrol_66: I was planning on organizing a hacking session on the 12th yes...but then my friend came and visited me from out of town. <gnucode>I'll send out an official invitation soon. <gnucode>sneek later tell etno I also do not know how to properly port netsurf to the Hurd. <gnucode>sneek later tell etno I do have some patches to fix one or two occurances of PATH_MAX in the netsurf code base...I should really sent that upstream. <gnucode>well I'm am trying to play with the /hurd/remap translator... <gnucode>settrans ~/sandbox /hurd/remap "/hurd" "/dev/null" <gnucode>I was trying to create a sandbox directory obviously... <gnucode>I had assumed that cd ~/sandbox && ls /hurd would have showed me nothing. <gnucode>but now, cd ~/sandbox && ls /hurd shows me all the translators. <gnucode>time to grep the irc logs for examples <gnucode>argh...remap doesn't support fsysopts
