rcgwell, with respect to the archos g9: we currently only have quite old drivers right now12:07
rcgin short: updating to newer ones would require quite some work. and most of it all, someone who does the work12:07
rcgi'd say it works well as development platform and for enthusiasts12:07

Sagehttps://build.pub.meego.com/package/live_build_log?arch=x86_64&package=libaccounts-qt&project=CE%3AMW%3AShared&repository=Mer_Core-next_x86_6419:24
SageAard: ^19:24
*** andre__ has quit IRC19:25
Aard%{_lib} is supposed to be lib64, %{_libdir} is supposed to be a macro containing prefix and the %{_lib} macro19:26
Aardso, yes19:27
[ol]Sage: %{_lib} chould be "lib", %{_libdir} should be "/usr/lib".19:27
Aard[ol]: not for 64bit architectures19:28
[ol]Aard: For x86_64. I've eliminated all multilib out of the way.19:28
*** alexxy has quit IRC19:29
[ol]Sage: http://review.merproject.org/111519:29
* plfiorini smells talking x86_6419:30
Sage[ol]: I'm not really sure if that is the right way as now we need to start keeping patches on top of each of the upstreams really as providing the multilib is quite standard. Or am I mistaken?19:31
Aard[ol]: why that? I'd like to keep the option for running 32bit apps as well19:31
Sage[ol]: in theory it should just work if the rpm macro works etc.19:31
*** fk_lx has joined #mer19:31
Aardand I guess we'd be the only ones doing it that way, _and_ we'll probably have fun if/when we add another architecture where multilib plays a bigger role19:32
[ol]Sage: There were not so many patches for removing multilib. Some packages (like libaccounts-qt) just have it hardcoded: if arch is x86_64 then use lib64. But most ofthe packahes just use libdir supplied to them by configure or whatever they use for autoconfiguration.19:33
[ol]Anyway, using lib64 is ugly. There should "/lib" no matter what is the base architecture.19:35
Sage[ol]: ok, I see. So even those components should just take e.g., configure --libdir=%{_libdir} where %{_libdir} can point to /usr/lib or /usr/lib6419:35
[ol]Exactly.19:35
Sage[ol]: well, have you noted https://bugs.merproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=174 :)19:35
MerbotMer bug 174 in .Other "Move all to /usr" [Task,New]19:35
Aard[ol]: do we have support for 'use 32bit libraries in lib32 (or something similar)'?19:36
[ol]Aard: You can use a different directory to put shared libraries for different architectures.19:37
Sage[ol]: I agree with the hardcoded multilib removals yes, but I still think that we should install 64-bit stuff to /usr/lib64/ and allow 32-bit and 64-bit coexist.19:37
Sage[ol]: I'm using 64-bit system myself and I have about 200 32-bit packages installed because some stuff just requires that.19:38
*** Aristide has joined #mer19:38
[ol]Sage: Wrong approach. Libraries for the main arch should go to "/lib", no matter what. Libraries for other architectures (whether they are supported directly by hardware of through qemu) should be placed somewhere else.19:38
*** wubudubudubudu has joined #mer19:39
Sage[ol]: well, then that would need two builds of 32-bit packages19:39
[ol]Like "/emul/i686-linux-gnu/lib" or something.19:39
[ol]Sage: The same problem if you want to run arm binaries on x86_64.19:40
Sage[ol]: well, I would not say wrong approach. I would say it needs to be discussed more and decide the way it is wanted.19:40
Sage[ol]: well, that is different thing as those are not compatible.19:41
*** phaeron has joined #mer19:41
[ol]I don't see much difference. Incompatible binaries can still be run transparently through qemu.19:42
[ol]Also, 32-bit on 64-bit is just a very limited case. What about big endian binaries on little endian system?19:43
Sage64-bit vs 32-bit and 64-bit vs armX are a bit different things to compare19:43
*** pcat has joined #mer19:43
[ol]OK, What about all combinations of MIPS 32-bit/64-bit LE/BE on the same system?19:43
*** jjarven_ has quit IRC19:44
* Sage thinks [ol] got carried away a bit from the original question19:45
SageLets forget about running stuff with qemu on Mer which is aimed to be for mobile and small embedded systems.19:46
[ol]Anyway, at the moment you can't install unmodified i686 package on Mer Core x86_64.19:46
Sageso, installing arm or mips rpm's to x86(_64) systems19:47
Sageand get back to x86 vs x86_6419:47
Sageso the question is that if Mer wants to support installing x86 rpm's to x86_64 systems or not?19:48
[ol]The reason to eliminate multilib was to make things simple. Running two sets of shared libraries is out of scope for minimal embedded distribution.19:49
Sagewithout repackaging/compiling the x86 rpm's19:49
[ol]Sage: It would be possible if i686 library packages were made relocatable.19:49

[ol]Ideally, each application should access all shared libraries it needs in "/lib", no matter what architecture or ABI it is. I think, it can be done by bind mounting appropriate directory on top of "/lib" in application's namespace.20:03

Aard[ol]: arm64 will come in the near future. it might be required there to keep 32bit stuff around we only get as binary blobs. I'd expect it to cause less trouble if the 32bit stuff goes into lib20:06
[ol]Aard: Or lib32?20:07
*** martyone has quit IRC20:09

Sage[ol]: the path where libraries are installed doesn't really matter afaik. library paths makes it possible to call it even /mer/libraries/ if we want, right?20:33
Sageand in next versino just add new library path and push new stuff to /mer/new_libraries/20:34
[ol]Or even better, to "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu".20:37
[ol]Like in http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch20:38
*** icota has joined #mer20:39
[ol]That's why I said earlier that i686 on x86_64 is not so special case. Ideally, any arch on any arch should be supported if necessary.20:40
Sageisn't that a bit conflicting what you said above about "  each application should access all shared libraries it needs in "/lib".. ?20:41
*** melonipoika has quit IRC20:42
Sagebut I don't have objections though in our case it would be /usr/lib/x86_64- probably20:42
[ol]No conflict. The way application views filesystem may be specific to this application.20:43
[ol]Like bind mounting "/lib/arm-linux-gnueabi" to "/lib" in application's provate namespace.20:44
[ol]If we have a binary application which expects its libraries to live in "/lib", why not make this application find what it's expecting, without confusing other applications?20:45
Sageif binary application expects it binaries in /lib isn't that already wrong? :)20:46
[ol]Sage: It is, but if you have source code you can re-compile, why would you need i686 on x86_64 anyway? The problem is with binary-only applications (like Skype).20:47
Sageskype doesn't expect /lib it searches from library path and uses those at least the one I have :)20:49

[ol]On the topic of moving everything to "/usr", I've already expressed opinion that it's absolutely wrong.20:55
[ol]The motivation for Fedora to do it (like having "/usr" to be NFS-mounted) does not apply to Mer.20:56
[ol]For Mer it would be much more logical to do it the opposite way: get rid of "/usr" and move everything to "/".20:56
*** melonipoika_ has joined #mer20:57

lbtin general we do thinks in the same way as established distros like suse/fedora/debian21:02
[ol]Does Debian also move everything to "/usr"?21:03
lbtthis minimises the need to carry patches, allows us to share packaging guidelines and probably ensures we have more overlap in security related matters21:03

*** Jare has quit IRC21:04
[ol]I think, the most important way is to make packages honour their bindir and libdir and not assume anything hardcoded. Most of the packages are already like this, but there are unfortunate exceptions (like libaccounts-qt discussed above).21:06
[ol]In fact, there are several tides flowing in different directions right now, and we should be very selective in choosing which tides to follow.21:10
lbttrue21:10
lbtI would prefer to see /usr/<lib.*64.*>/ than /usr/lib/21:10
[ol]For example, Debian's multiarch tide looks beneficial to me. On the other hand, Fedora's "move everuthing to /usr" tide doesn't.21:11
lbtI like both :)21:11
[ol]lbt: Do you like "eliminate / and /usr split" or "eliminate / and /usr split by moving everything to /usr"? This is not the same, there is another solution to eliminating this split.21:13
lbtI don't like the split21:13
lbtI see moving it to /usr as a sane solution21:13
[ol]OK, that's where we have common groung for further discussion.21:13
[ol]But the second one makes me disagree.21:14
[ol]All this "/usr" hierarchy is just an artefact of Unix history, which should not exist at all.21:14
[ol]Historically, "/usr" was the place where users' home directories were located. There were users bin, lib and man, which were owhers of binaries, libraries and manuals, so there were "/usr/bin", "/usr/lib" and "/usr/man" directories.21:15
lbtI'm swayed by the benefit of a read-only /usr21:17
[ol]Of course, binaries essettial to system boot were in "/bin" (and "/etc, BTW), so it was possible to have "/usr" on a separate disk as a separate filesystem mounted when the system is ready to start in multi-user mode.21:17
*** Jare has joined #mer21:17
lbtand I'm an OCD .. I like my binaries/libs to be in the same drawer21:17
lbtI read http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/TheCaseForTheUsrMerge a fair bit21:18
Aardlbt: ro root is more interesting21:18
lbt /var ?21:18
[ol]Yes, I read it as well, and it all is just based on wrong assumptions.21:19
*** Morpog_Mobile has quit IRC21:19
lbtAard: I do agree though21:19
Aardlbt: many things in var can live in tmpfs, for the handful of other things just do an overlay mount21:19
[ol]I've successfully made FreeBSD-based thin client with NFS-mounted root shareable between clients. There's no need to have "/usr" for that.21:20
AardI had a notebook with flaky ide controller if the root-filesystem got booted from it almost 10 years ago. solved it by doing a customized debian with ro-root21:20
* lbt had 2 myth frontend with same nfsroot - so I know too21:20
Aardnowadays we have a lot more interesting technologies to make something easier than back then21:21
lbtso I personally see the / -> /usr vs /usr -> / merge as not interesting21:22
Aardroot could be a ro-mounted btrfs, and for updates you do a snapshot that gets set ro as soon as the update is in21:22
lbtwe picked / -> /usr :)21:22
lbtAard: yeah - I can see lots of fun stuff in that space :)21:23
Aardwell, that's the direction I'd like phones of a some company go at some point :)21:23
*** alexxy has joined #mer21:25
[ol]Look how it's done in Plan9. This is a newer system made without compatibility to legacy stuff. It has no "/usr" as a separate hierarchy at all. And it handles networked filesystems with everything shared much better that Unix and Linux do.21:25
*** Morpog_Mobile has joined #mer21:25
[ol]Key features used to that are: union mounts and per-process mount namespaces.21:26
lbt[ol]: exploring that is fine - it's what Mer and OSS is for!21:27
lbtOTOH we also have a duty to make life easy for our vendors21:27
lbtso from that PoV it has to be easy for them (and their armies of minions) to grok21:28
lbtand that means least surprise21:28
[ol]Ironically, Linux has these features already, but for some reason Fedora guys decided to solve the problem of legacy design using legacy solutions.21:28
*** NIN101 has quit IRC21:30
[ol]I think, it would be wise to ask vendors what would be least surprise for them. I'm not sure that all vendors expect to see everything in "/usr".21:31
lbtwell, again, /{lib,bin,sbin} exist ... so they would never notice21:33
*** ced117 has quit IRC21:33

[ol]I heard about differences of pronounciation of "tomato" between American and British English, but I didn't know about the same with "potato".21:39
[ol]But anyway, if vendor doesn't care about this "/usr" move, why doing it at all?21:40
[ol]What problem does it solve?21:41
[ol]And "Fedora does it, let's do the same" is not a problem worth solving.21:41
lbteasier packaging21:41

lbtTMTOWTDI - always21:43
[ol]And if one of the ways is to do nothing, this way is preferable. :-)21:45
lbtwell, it's done now, so doing nothing now is fine :)21:46
[ol]You mean, Mer has already moved everything to "/usr"? :-O21:47
lbtthat's underway, yes21:47
*** tanty has quit IRC21:50
[ol]Then it's wasted effort to solve the wrong problem. Easier packaging? No. Easier to find binaries? No. There's already PATH variable to solve this. NFS-mounted shared "/usr"? If you're doing it, you're already doing it the wrong way.21:52
[ol]Also, it doesn't make sharing security patches easier. Patches are usually applied against source code, and then this source is built and installed in a separate step. There's very low chance that source patch dealing with code logic has anything to do with where the package is finally installed.21:54
