ianccp: there should be no obstacle to raising a PR, filing a bug report at https://bugs.openwrt.org/, or reporting on netdev ML if this is an upstream bug. At least the issue will have persistent visibility, whether or not you choose to follow up.

^^^ just started being prompted for this bulding malta/be. Anyone else? I don't recall seeing kernel config changes for this recently...
<Grommish>
Anyone know what spawns these type of messages? Packages for xxxxxxx found, but incompatible with the architectures configured

guidosarducci: It isn't a repo package, but I rebase yesterday
<Grommish>
and it worked then.. hmm
<Grommish>
I dunn what triggers that message though, so I was asking
<Grommish>
I'm going to clear out building_dir, staging_dir tmp/ and .ccache and see what happens
<Grommish>
guidosarducci: Was there something intro'd to the packages that needs to be changed/added to them with the overhaul?
<guidosarducci>
Grommish: honestly can't remember, must have suppressed the painful memories :)
<Grommish>
guidosarducci: I can imagine :) Well. I was do for complete removal of the build structure anyway

I'm not quite sure how to deal with it. The 'obvious' solution is # CONFIG_VFIO is not set in malta/config-5.10 but
<ldir>
I suspect the issue is spread wider than that.

<guidosarducci>
ldir: just finishing a build first, link to your commit?
<guidosarducci>
ldir: not sure this is arch-specific. Maybe the generic config is better? Needs some checking of targets though... want me to try for just malta anyway?

yes please

guidosarducci: your iproute2 pr for 21.02, is there anything specific one needs to do to test it?
<Borromini>
most of my stuff is on DSA and that relies on iproute2 by default no?
<guidosarducci>
Borromini: I changed it to draft for now after so reported an NLS build problem. What's special about DSA and iproute2? Haven't used it yet myself...
<Borromini>
guidosarducci: nothing special, i understood DSA relies on standard linux networking tools (so iproute) to set up interfaces, instead of swconfig
<guidosarducci>
Borromini: I guess the "bridge" utility? Again, not sure. If you're not using NLS you can use that 21.02 PR fine. Won't see much difference unless you use BPF, plus all the small utilities no longed have a useless libelf dependency. And using tc-tiny will save you some space too.
<Borromini>
yeah, i noticed the split, thanks. i'm not using bpf
<Borromini>
nor nls. nls seems a bit weird on embedded, but hey.

i modified dnsmasq's files/etc/dnsmasq.init, dnsmasq has PKG_RELEASE:=$(AUTORELEASE) in the Makefile so I did not bump it, now make {clean,compile} will never update /etc/init.d/dnsmasq in root-ath79, why is that
<rr123>
also make package/network/services/dnsmasq/install fails
<rr123>
"no install"
<rr123>
but it's in the Makefile
<rr123>
also looks like multiple instance dnsmasq does not work, unless I disable ubus additional instances
<ldir>
rr123: IIRC 'install' is a legacy thing, it's all handled by compile
<ldir>
also the autorelease is a new thing to me. I think it's bases the release on the number of commits since the last bump or some such
Tost has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds]
<ldir>
if you want the 'base image' as found in root-ath79 to be updated I think 'make package/install' will do what you're after

Good Afternoon All. Can someone please advise if drivers contained in an OEM image source code are any good? Unfortunately I have no expertise. There is a lot in it and I think it looks promising. Thank you.
<PaulFertser>
Radu-Mamy: usually vendors drivers are awful, unmaintainable mess.
<Radu-Mamy>
Thanks. But if the drivers are working in original image and they are provided in source code, they must be good I guess
<Radu-Mamy>
I just think we might be sitting on some gold dust and it's not explored
<PaulFertser>
Radu-Mamy: if people are watching eurovision it must be good
<Radu-Mamy>
I guess so. But without even looking we won't know for sure. If its acceptable it can be corrected if it's source code...
<PaulFertser>
Of course the devs are looking at those.

About validating if drivers are any good?
<PaulFertser>
Assume they're not, what next?
<Radu-Mamy>
I don't know, could they be fixed?
<PaulFertser>
Radu-Mamy: what device do you have in mind anyway? Stop talking riddles please.
<Radu-Mamy>
The OEM source code is added to the page
<Radu-Mamy>
It's god ADSL, wireless, pretty much everything
<Radu-Mamy>
Just don't know what to do with it
karlp has joined #openwrt-devel

OEM is custom built of Openwrt
<PaulFertser>
Radu-Mamy: it would be a massive effort to get that supported, and probably only partially anyway.
<Radu-Mamy>
Happy to help, but don't know how
<PaulFertser>
Then it's likely you can't really help :(
<Radu-Mamy>
If Vodafone provided everything, could the drivers be recompiled?
<Radu-Mamy>
Drivers inside might be useful for other boards
<Radu-Mamy>
It contains a lot more by the looks of it
<plntyk>
since its broadcom i doubt that sourcecode drivers are available - or stuff for pots
<Radu-Mamy>
Please download it
<Radu-Mamy>
You might be surprised what you'll find
<Radu-Mamy>
I think it's very legit
<plntyk>
hm... i like software archaeology "GPL code has been tested in Fedora 12 (32bits)"
<Radu-Mamy>
Yes, seen that too
<Radu-Mamy>
What about the drivers?
<Radu-Mamy>
The kernel that ships with the box is 4.1 so not that old
<Radu-Mamy>
The box is fast and very capable
<Radu-Mamy>
I own one and I ordered another one for testing
<Radu-Mamy>
Being Arm could be used for a lot of things if openwrt gets ported to it
<plntyk>
i didnt do a diff of the kernel - some folders only contain the header files and not the C files with the implementation
<Radu-Mamy>
So I guess that is a bad thing...
<Radu-Mamy>
😕
<rr123>
ldir: thanks for the compile-include-install thing, for autorelease a new dnsmasq ipkg is built based on commit numbers, i.e. dnsmasq-full_2.84-2_mips_24kc.ipk, however, neither make ../dnsmasq/{clean,compile}, nor make package/install will update root-ath79's content, though the ipkg does contain my own changes, very strange
<rr123>
so at the moment there is no way I can get my own dnsmasq changes to the firmware image and the board other than manually copying over
<Radu-Mamy>
fn'plntyk, what are your thoughts? Anything useful / worth salvaging?
<plntyk>
Radu-Mamy, i dont see how that is "custom built of openwrt" in that gpl drop
<Thermi>
jow: So I need to set up my own stuff to build it if I want to test if my changes work?
<jow>
Thermi: yes
<Thermi>
:((((((
<jow>
in general we expect people to actually compile and run test their changes before submitting a PR to core components :)
<plntyk>
there are some vendors like cz.nic (Turris Omnia) or other that really use openwrt "forks"
<Thermi>
Well evidently
<jow>
you can use the SDK to recompile just the procd package if you do not want to build the entire buildroot
<Radu-Mamy>
That what it's saying on the page
<Thermi>
Yes, so I need to clone upstream make my changes, and then somehow deal with the sdk to get the source into the build process
<Thermi>
:/
<Thermi>
Oh well.
<jow>
yes. you can achieve that by setting CONFIG_SRC_TREE_OVERRIDE in menuconfig
<Radu-Mamy>
Check the bootlog, will this give you any hints?
<Thermi>
ty, that might help me
<Thermi>
Is it even feasible to set up CI/CD for procd?
<Thermi>
And is there a specific reason procd upstream is just on git.openwrt.org?
<jow>
it is doable and ynezz already developed some tests, but you cannot rely on CI/CD to actually do the work for you
<jow>
eventually you do need to compile your changes yourself and see if they work
<Thermi>
Yeah, I want to avoid the "it works on my box!"

must be some bug to me, dnsmasq.ipk autorelease contains the correct info, root-ath79 contains old dnsmasq content after make ..dnsmasq/clean-compile and after make package/install, opkg list_installed showed the correct dnsmasq new version however it's content is stale(as shown in root-ath79), a force-reinstall can get the new dnsmasq.ipkg correct installed, so, after I modified dnsmasq and
<rr123>
git-commited and rebuilt it into ipkg etc, it never went to root-ath79?
<rr123>

fn'plntyk, "Linux version 4.1.38 (repowrt-builder@0e3f98211bf6) (gcc version 5.3.0 (OpenWrt GCC 5.3.0 unknown) )"
<Radu-Mamy>
Maybe it's just GCC
<plntyk>
well - there is procd - but the build structure is very different from what i can see
<Radu-Mamy>
I'll be driving for a bit, feel free to msg me privately. Thanks

Hauke: can you please check https://pastebin.com/qBMKZvWE and https://pastebin.com/ivvaCiqZ ? there's some user reporting that fixed-links are not working with the mainline GSWIP driver and these patches are an attempt to fix this
Night-Shade has quit [Quit: My MacBook has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz…]
<Hauke>
xdarklight: looks good
<Hauke>
is gswip_phylink_mac_link_up() called after gswip_port_enable()
<Hauke>
from the HW side it looks good
<Hauke>
when you post them to the mailing list someone with more knowlage about DSA should have a look at them
<Hauke>
xdarklight: I am not sure if we configure everything when the autopoling is deactivated
<Hauke>
it could be that some MAC settings are not done manually
