whatlinkshere makes it easy to spot and kill references
<libv>
the first get nonsense background info, then get told a load of crap about the different blobs available somewhere, then the lima driver is being talked about, and only then there is some stuff about getting things actually working.
<Turl>
there's even a PowerVR page
<libv>
wtf.+
<Turl>
DirectX o.O
<libv>
you know, if there is nothing sunxi specific in there, maybe the pages should get deleted

A31 has PowerVR.... unfortunatelly
<mnemoc>
but duplicating wikipedia is kind of... meh
<Turl>
what does directx have to do?
<libv>
if it is not relevant for sunxi, it should go
<Turl>
libv: +1

"DirectX 9.3 is supported by the PowerVR SGX544 GPU used in Allwinner A31 SoC under Windows RT (which could be said to be Windows 8 for ARM SoCs)."
<Turl>
I don't think that qualifies as truly relevant

kill it :)

the author/copier has most likely moved on already
<mnemoc>
started doing irc back in 1995 ... not sure if I'm unhappy to have lost my pre-linux irc logs :p
<Turl>
rellla: basically I'd use this rule of thumb
<Turl>
rellla: does it have relevant, sunxi specific information? does it have instructions for sunxi devices? is it a sunxi topic that's being discussed? -> it's kept
<Turl>
rellla: is it something you'd find on wikipedia or elinux wiki? is it marketing speech/spam? -> kill
<mnemoc>
they can be shrunk to one line + external link to wikipedia
<mnemoc>
just to let [[TrustZone]] work
<Turl>
I just used whatlinkshere and killed the [[refs]]
<Turl>
there aren't that many
<rellla>
Turl, mnemoc: ok, seems to be clear. but i feel very uncertain about deleting wrong things... first my head needs to get clear for that after going home from work.
<Turl>
rellla: there's a revert button, don't worry much :)
<rellla>
and maybe then i should first try to get my cubie work, or the new amlogic device, or clean up my git-repository or... sh... too much projects for one evening :D

someone really should get up to scratch with debian and rpm packaging and then go through many of our manual things, and package one after the other
<ice_>
hey guys
<libv>
a rootfs with everything included is nice, but somewhere to apt-get install from is better
<ice_>
any idea how to properly do a "bzip2 -dc a10-debian-server-2gb.img-*.bz2 > /dev/sda1" but under windows with decent tools?
<ice_>
all my linux boxes are down at home :p
<Turl>
ice_: 7zip to unpack the bz2
<Turl>
then use win32imagewriter
<ice_>
ah yeah win32imagewriter
<libv>
that way, the howto i just wrote up could just be "apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-mali", and then the dependencies could be gotten, the xorg.conf could be installed, the udev files, etc...
<libv>
same thing for rpm based distributions
<libv>
it is not hardcore development, and it is not filling up our wiki with wikipedia nonsense
<libv>
but it is very very useful
<Turl>
libv: there was someone working on that
<libv>
who?
<Turl>
don't recall :|
<Turl>
let me check my logs
<Turl>
#arm-netbook_20130215.log:[18:29:30] <bfree> mnemoc: been a long time coming (like my cubie) but http://dl.linux-sunxi.org/niall/debian/ has some first experimental debian packages for kernel and u-boot (built on/for unstable). Both are dirty, based on *.orig.tar.?z which are just archives of linux-sunxi git head. Just a dumb flat unsigned apt-ftparchive "repository" there so "deb http://dl.linux-sunxi.org/niall/debian/ ./" (or deb-src) for
<libv>
Turl: and do we not have the rest of the info in our uboot code?
ice_ has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
<Turl>
libv: I got that with a10-meminfo
<Turl>
I'm going to use the frequency as an excuse to upgrade my kernel and uboot :p
<bfree>
I took on the kernel (ick) and uboot as first steps and the above links have preview 0 of the packaging ... sunxi-tools is next (should be very easy) so there is enough to get a board up. only when those 3 were in a sane state was I planning on trying to figure out wtf to do about the video stuff :-p
<bfree>
~4.5h native kernel compile on the cubie now (much expanded config) doesn't help ;) and I'm off to try some local shops for a nokia cable I can turn into a TTL cause it's no fun just trying to guess what you have done wrong (though so far I've managed)
<Turl>
mnemoc: what's the right uboot branch, sunxi-current or sunxi?
<mnemoc>
not sure what's the state of sunxi-current
