Thread: How to I get the latest APUS development kernel?

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

How do I download the latest development APUS kernel?

I didn't see the instructions last time I looked a sourceforge
but sometimes I can't see the nose on my face :)

 cvs -d:pserver:.... checkout unstable
                ^^^ sorry i don't remeber actual path 
of course You have to login first (unless You did that in the past)

 On a side note:
i was running 2.4.0-test4 for a couple of days. I had some problems:
1. some daemons exited with signal 4 (ProFTPd seemed to be leader)
2. X exited at random (sometimes with signal 11 but most of the time it was
signal 4
3. latest X package couldn't be run ( i guess this is because of missing APUS
PCI support)

 At first i thought it was some problem with my hardware but after switching
to 2.2.10 all problems are gone
 My hardware 603e@160MHz 64MB RAM, BVision, Ariadne

 I'll checkout test7 and report ASAP =o)

I have trouble with X 4.0.1 exiting with signal 7 under 2.2.10.

I have a 604e@200MHz.

hi,

> I have trouble with X 4.0.1 exiting with signal 7 under 2.2.10.

really? are you running only Permedia, or are you also running AGA too?

I ask because yesterday I was running X for around 6 hours playing some of
the Lokigames demos.

funny bug in RailRoad Tycoon....my trains got all messed up and carriages
became Stephenson Rockets, but I believe thats game-side... fullscreen DGA
worked fine :-)

Don't do it yet, unless you don't need swap space...
I'm working on it, but so far I don't really know what's going on here.

 hmm... no i can't live without swap =o(( so i just wait

 two additional questions
1. some time ago i checkouted 2.4.0-test4 from CVS, than i updated it to
latest (test7). After this make oldconfig failed with message about some
missing Configure.in in one of subdirs. Unfortunately i just wiped the
sources and didn't write down the message. Anyway after this i simply
checkout from CVS again and this time make oldconfig didn't complain. Anyone
can explain this to me?
2. I thought that everything is ok now with AFFS in 2.4 kernels, but i think
there are still some problems. I compiled 2.4-test4a again (under 2.4test4)
and copied it to AFFS partition. After this diff said that files differ. So
am i wrong about working AFFS in 2.4 ? Or it's some other problem (related
2.4) (affs partition is 120MB and vmlinux is at 1760008 bytes)

It's best to always run 'cvs update -dP' so that old directories get pruned
and new ones created automatically. You can set default options for all cvs
commands in ~/.cvsrc, here's mine:

cvs -z4
diff -u
update -dP
checkout -P

 Already have that (i guess this was published here around the time we moved
to SourceForge) =o)) 
 Any other ideas?

Oops, sorry.

>  Any other ideas?

Maybe you were unlucky and updated after Roman had imported the new version
but before he had fixed the conflicts.

 ?? why to be sorry ? It was my fault (i should mention the options used
while updating but to be honest i simply forgot about .cvsrc =o))

 yes, that might be right =o)) (didn't think about that also =o))

That shouldn't make a difference, config files weren't affected.
Anyway, a 'make clean dep' is usually a good idea after a major update.

Sorry, no news here. I still have to look into it.

Looking at the CVS Repository page:

cvs -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/linux-apus
login 

and then

cvs -z3
-d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/linux-apus co
modulename

A bus error? Never heard of that. Have you built it yourself (as usual :) ?

hi,

I'm sorry to report...and this is REALLY the most annoying news ever...but
the FAQ information has been wiped away again. 

SF have not taken any steps to remedy the loss of the data earlier this 
year, and it looks like they wont help this time either - even though it 
seems to be some adminstrative chore of theirs which wipes our data off 
the disk! (note: The FAQ system is run via web scripts and thus files 
created/modified are owned by nobody) 

I propose to hold the FAQ on another system. One which does not have this 
problem...and one which I have a full backup/restore control system for.

I can set up the FAQ engine in next to no time.  its the information which 
we once held...which is lost...which I am most annoyed about. Rest 
assured, if the move is voted for (I'm only talking about APUS docs/FAQs) 
then this wont happen again (note: FAQ-O-Matics can be mirrored or sucked 
across to new sites).

I am afraid/worried for the security of our APUS CVS kernel at SF now.... 
:-(

yours

Do you already have a specific new host for the FAQ-o-matic in mind?

I can host it locally here - but if you have an ideal candidate I am all 
ears  (are you thinking of the GNU opensoftware server?)

No, my idea would have been penguinppc.org or something.

But then, thinking about it, couldn't we just leave it on sf.net? We
could chown the files in a cronjob and make backups via ssh, more
suggestions welcome.

no chown'ing - they NEED to be nobody or they cannot be updated or edited

backups would be okay i guess.....FAQ-o-matic has RCS backups....trouble
was that those RCS files were in the same directory area that got wiped 
clean :-(

No possibility with group ownership, write permission for everybody, ...
