[06:14:30] <slainsavage> solskogen|M: good morning, the MR was merged yesterday for dbeaver
[06:14:59] <Daanct12> morning
[06:34:08] <slainsavage> Daanct12: morning, hows your day going so far
[06:34:55] <slainsavage> Plan is to start taking a look at gstreamer today and do some more work on the documentaion
[06:36:55] -!- solsTiCe has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[06:40:44] <Daanct12> eeeeeh it's okay
[06:40:57] <Daanct12> i wonder if arch will get rv32ima port
[06:41:14] <Daanct12> (where are all the risc-v users)
[06:43:24] <slainsavage> I don't have a risc-v device yet, but one day I will get one
[06:44:00] -!- solsTiCe has joined #archlinux-ports
[06:44:31] <slainsavage> It would be so cool if Raspberry releases a risc-v board
[08:21:25] <linkmauve> bschnei, with waypipe you can run graphical programs on headless boards, displaying them on your local computer.
[08:23:03] <linkmauve> slainsavage, they did release a microcontroller.
[08:23:39] <linkmauve> But they’re also basically just a Broadcom reseller.
[08:24:56] <slainsavage> linkmauve: yup, the rp2040 is a pretty nice micro controller
[08:26:01] <Daanct12> hi linkmauve
[08:26:40] <slainsavage> I normally use the esp32's or the rp2040 depending on what I require
[08:26:53] <Daanct12> slainsavage: i was asking for rv32ima port because i have this https://social.treehouse.systems
[08:26:54] <phrik> Title: Danct12: "it boots! i eventually got bored with the counter…" - Treehouse Mastodon (at social.treehouse.systems)
[08:27:13] <linkmauve> Daanct12, hi. :)
[08:27:21] <slainsavage> there is the esp32-C3 that is based on risc-v
[08:27:54] <linkmauve> slainsavage, very unlikely to support that ISA revision.
[08:28:41] <Daanct12> linkmauve: the esp32-c3 also doesnt support psram
[08:28:58] <Daanct12> so even if the isa can run linux it will not have enough memory
[08:29:04] <Daanct12> to even boot
[08:33:17] <solskogen|M> slainsavage: Perfect. the package is now uploaded :)
[08:55:06] <solskogen|M> if you want more: itk
[09:20:38] <slainsavage> solskogen|M: are there any other packages that I can look at
[09:21:27] <solskogen|M> linux-tools :-)
[09:21:57] <slainsavage> is it a compile problem as well or something else
[09:22:12] <jelle> it was discussed here a while back
[09:22:41] <jelle> its more complicated then a compile problem
[09:23:01] <solskogen|M> no, it's about getting the right tools for it. the current pkgbuild focuses on x86_64 (strange enough)
[09:23:12] <jelle> strange enough?
[09:23:24] <solskogen|M> it was a joke :-)
[09:24:12] <slainsavage> any chance of getting a quick outline of the problem before I start
[09:24:30] <slainsavage> are there any other low hanging fruit
[09:24:33] <jelle> slainsavage: the pkgbuild ships slit packages which only apply to x86_64
[09:25:03] <slainsavage> jelle: thanks
[09:25:17] <jelle> arch does not have a way to say this pacakge is x86_64 only as far as I know
[09:26:29] <slainsavage> who are the people working on aarch64 port.
[09:26:45] <Daanct12> i believe it was one guy solskogen|M
[09:26:50] <Daanct12> or one person*
[09:27:02] <Daanct12> apologies
[09:27:06] <jelle> there are multiple :)
[09:27:12] <solskogen|M> we're three, but I'm doing most of the package building
[09:27:19] <Daanct12> ah
[09:27:59] <slainsavage> solskogen|M: are you a ArchLinux maintainer / developer ?
[09:28:08] <solskogen|M> that is, we're the ones having access to the build machine. everyone who contributes to making a package build (and work!) is a part of it. even if you know it or not :-)
[09:28:15] <solskogen|M> slainsavage: No
[09:30:38] <slainsavage> I assume the plan is to get a RFC done at some point for aarch64
[09:30:42] <solskogen|M> I'm just a normal guy, wanting Arch to have a official aarch64 port - and was fed up with the state of ALARM.
[09:31:32] <slainsavage> that is pretty much how I feel as well, I would love for aarch64 to be supported in Arch Linux
[09:32:32] <solskogen|M> And I was fortunate enough to have DrZee and bschnei contacting me and offering some AWS machines to do the package building
[09:32:56] <slainsavage> awesome
[09:33:17] <slainsavage> solskogen|M: are you planning on doing the RFC
[09:33:49] <slainsavage> solskogen|M: are either of them a Arch Linux developer / maintaner
[09:33:58] <solskogen|M> I can't. I'm not a Arch developer.
[09:34:19] <solskogen|M> slainsavage: No, we're just normal guys with the same mindset :)
[09:34:57] <solskogen|M> Oh, deno. You can take a look at deno.
[09:35:20] <slainsavage> deno?
[09:35:39] <solskogen|M> https://gitlab.archlinux.org
[09:35:41] <phrik> Title: Arch Linux / Packaging / Packages / deno · GitLab (at gitlab.archlinux.org)
[09:36:01] <solskogen|M> I'm using deno-bin from aur - because I can't get it to build
[09:36:18] <slainsavage> solskogen|M: cool, I will take a look at that
[09:37:10] <slainsavage> solskogen|M: do the three of you chat on here only, or do you have a mail group
[09:37:38] <solskogen|M> We have group on signal. But we're using this more and more.
[09:38:13] <solskogen|M> bschnei has the kernel as his main responsibility
[09:40:15] <slainsavage> I would like to help out more, just let me know what I can assist with. I would like to help and see aach64 thrive
[09:41:21] <slainsavage> I am taking a look at deno now
[09:41:41] <solskogen|M> The best thing you can do now is just use it. Report and (if possible) fix problems if you see any. Write documentation (we don't have a place to put it yet, but writing is the important part) on how to install.
[09:42:13] <solskogen|M> 99% of the packages are packaged "blind" - I haven't tested every package.
[09:42:36] <solskogen|M> The very few packages I use, works fine.
[09:46:12] <slainsavage> at the moment I am doing my building a testing on pi5, so it is abit slow
[09:47:02] <solskogen|M> I know the feeling. I'm having 4 Pi5s using distcc :-)
[09:47:25] <solskogen|M> in addition to the official build machine ofc, which is a 32core neoverse machine
[09:48:40] <slainsavage> :-) maybe that is the excuse I can use to get a raspberry pi 500+
[09:49:28] <solskogen|M> It's a very nice piece of hardware. It's one of the 4 Pi5s I've got.

[09:49:54] <phrik> Title: Arace Tech (at arace.tech)
[09:50:08] <solskogen|M> that will also work
[09:52:15] <linkmauve> solskogen|M, how is Cix’s mainline story so far?
[09:52:44] <jelle> the 180 euro model is tempting
[09:52:57] <jelle> 32GB sounds good :)
[09:53:31] <slainsavage> yup, looks very nice
[10:09:35] -!- Antiz has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[10:28:20] <solskogen|M> jelle: Do it! :-)
[10:28:40] <jelle> I already have a laptop side project :p
[10:29:19] <solskogen|M> I can't see the problem. You just said it's a side project ;-)
[10:33:09] <gromit> Uh but it's a preorder :o
[10:37:29] <solskogen|M> orders started shipping 30th of november according to the forums.

[11:29:46] <hrdl> Re installation instructions: I have some mkosi-based ones for the Pine64 PineNote, which could easily be generalised if desired. See the README and the contents of mkosi/ at https://git.sr.ht
[11:29:47] <phrik> Title: ~hrdl/pinenote-dist - sourcehut git (at git.sr.ht)
[11:31:45] <hrdl> The relevant section is titled `Distribution image`
[11:39:25] <solskogen|M> It's a great start!
[12:49:46] <slainsavage> solskogen|M: that deno compile error is interesting. I think I have narrowed down to where it is coming from, find_std_rlibs.py
[12:50:38] <solskogen|M> I haven't paid much attention to it. I saw that it failed in a spectacular way and went on with using deno-bin from aur :-)
