02:54:35[RFC2812]i'm using 8566cd7-13122 for iPod Classic (26 December nightly) and the image viewer doesn't load 150KB 320x240 bitmaps properly
02:55:04[RFC2812]and i have a tangent for this: why are there two possible sizes for bitmaps of these dimensions?
02:55:05[RFC2812]150KB and 225KB
02:55:45[RFC2812]i've already tried the images in MSPaint and they show normally
02:56:05[RFC2812]but on the iPod, these images are incorrectly colour-mapped

03:20:00[RFC2812]let me see if the backsplash does the same thign
03:20:20[RFC2812]i cant screenshot it because it shows up correctly in mspaint

03:20:28[RFC2812]let me try this

03:24:50[RFC2812]but what i'm getting at
03:25:03[RFC2812]why are there 2 different filesizes for bitmaps in the first place

03:44:15[RFC2812]hi?

03:47:00[RFC2812]nice
03:47:11[RFC2812]well played
03:51:33[RFC2812]but yeah
03:52:07[RFC2812]this is to anyone in here: Rockbox (at least for iPod Classic) image viewer can't handle 16 bit bitmaps
03:52:17[RFC2812]if anyone cares to report it who already is registered with the tracker
03:52:29[RFC2812]also i could complain about theimage viewer some more...
03:52:38man_in_shack16bit bmps are fun
03:52:44[RFC2812]it's pretty good but a lot of jpeg shit
03:52:58[RFC2812]can't view interlaced jpegs i believe
03:53:19[RFC2812]anyway i made a 24b bitmap in gimp for my backsplash :3
03:53:37man_in_shackcool
03:53:44man_in_shackpngs are more awesome though :P
03:53:58[RFC2812]man_in_shack okay
03:54:01[RFC2812]we know
03:54:07[RFC2812]but that's not the scope of my rant
03:54:15man_in_shackrants are fun
03:54:21*[RFC2812] slaps man_in_shack around a bit with a large trout.
03:54:31*man_in_shack smokes the trout and eats it
03:54:38[RFC2812]that trout is rotten
03:54:41[RFC2812]enjoy your death

13:06:00PurlingNayukiSorry I tried but the code wasn't working well.
13:06:27PurlingNayukiI need helps, should I just upload my current codes?
13:08:24JdGordonyeah
13:08:45PurlingNayukiWait a second
13:08:45JdGordonsounds like im not allowed to play tonight though, i'll try to look tomorow
13:12:23PurlingNayukiOK thanks in advance

13:22:11JdGordon(also you've got tabs in a few of the files again)
13:22:19JdGordongerrit shows the tabs as red >>'s
13:23:03JdGordonI don't tihnk you need the setvol you've added in the first change in option_select.c
13:23:04PurlingNayukiIt shouldn't be me. I checked them before commiting:-(
13:23:50PurlingNayukiYes it's a NULL. Is it the problem?
13:24:00JdGordonvery probably
13:24:09 Quit ikeboy (Quit: ikeboy)
13:24:21JdGordonwell, maybe
13:24:29JdGordonI dunno what problems you're seeing :)
13:25:20PurlingNayukiBut volume limit function in firmware/ is adunda
13:25:21JdGordonit might be better to remove that part and add a menu callback in sound_menu.c for the volume_limit menu item
13:25:28PurlingNayuki*redundant
13:25:29JdGordonadunda?
13:25:30JdGordon:)
13:25:56PurlingNayukisorry i was misunderstanding.
13:25:56*JdGordon looks for an example
13:26:12PurlingNayukiI can handle that
13:26:26PurlingNayukieven without an example
13:26:33JdGordonhave a look at timestretch_callback()
13:26:34PurlingNayukidon't worry.
13:26:39JdGordonvery easy to add
13:26:56PurlingNayukiWell OK I'll try.
13:27:49JdGordonalso the chinese.lang diff is wrong
13:27:56JdGordonthe </phrase> is in the wrong place

19:58:49scorche|shyeah - honestly, i dont think it is all that big of a deal to ask us about it
19:59:01scorche|shignore [Saint] on that one =)
20:00
20:02:45[Saint]What?
20:03:01[Saint]I wasn't implying anyone cared...don't get me wrong. :)
20:06:54chrisjjSaint, do you really think no-one cares?
20:07:11[Saint]Its fairly evident.
20:07:54[Saint]You, and me, are the only two to mention it in many many years - I'd say that counts as no one in the greater scheme of things.
20:08:32[Saint]It would be an issue if there wasn't a fully functional search implementation inches away, but, there is.
20:08:37chrisjjIt is fairly evidence you don't care. I see nothing to suggest others don't. When a new user arrives at the wiki and uses the search, I think he does care about the result. Else he wouldn't bother.
20:09:41[Saint]Maybe it is extrapolating to far, but the lack of complaints and the lack of motivation to fix it suggests others, like me, don;t really care about it too much.
20:09:55[Saint]As I said, there's a fully functional search implentation inches away.
20:10:19[Saint]It would be an issue if there wasn;t, but, there is.
20:11:34chrisjjYes, I'm sure others like you don't care about it. But that doesn't mean no-one does. You cared enough in 2010 to attempt to fix it - perhaps there's someone like that here now.
20:12:10scorche|shwe dont really care, but i am just saying that you jumped the gun a bit on the "assume it isnt known"
20:12:22scorche|sh(to [Saint] )
20:12:28[Saint]Well, if that someone isn't you, or me, I don't think the discussion matters very much.
20:12:45[Saint]scorche|sh: well...it definitely _should_ be known.
20:12:58scorche|shsure, but chrisjj shouldnt be expected to know that it is known
20:13:02[Saint]I know I reported it to yourself and other bigwigs an age ago. :)
20:13:26scorche|shi wouldnt say i am a bigwig, but...
20:13:35chrisjj"there's a fully functional search implentation inches away." I assume you're kidding. Else it would be OK for every wiki search on the web to be broken too.
20:13:50scorche|shwell, there is
20:14:00[Saint]its like literally right there.
20:14:04scorche|shit isnt worth fixing really, as google search works just fine
20:14:04[Saint]in ever wiki page.
20:14:07[Saint]*every
20:14:10scorche|shwe even embedded it on the sidebar
20:14:15[Saint]indeed.
20:14:25[Saint]We should probably just remove the page in question.
20:15:22chrisjjSaint, you miss the point. The wiki search gives a false result to the user and does not give your advice to stop using the feature and use Google instead.
20:15:34chrisjjYes, removing would be better than leaving it present broken.
20:16:00[Saint]I assure you I'm not missing the point. I'm just not terribly bothered by it.
20:16:16[Saint]As long as there's a search that works, I'm cool.
20:16:41scorche|shchrisjj: it isnt that big of a problem, really - a number of folk dont even get that far and just use the search field on every single page as that is easier
20:16:51scorche|shor they come in here and we direct them to that just as we are doing now

20:58:15[Saint]A release is literally just around the corner.
20:58:21[Saint]Its actually a bit late.
20:58:49gevaertsWell...
20:59:11gevaertsGiven that ipod video didn't *boot* two days ago and nobody had noticed for ten days, I'm not *too* confident
20:59:20[Saint]We should really be in freeze now, at least.
20:59:57barankoGevaerts as i understand there is no big test community?
21:00
21:00:15gevaertsNot really. People seem to like running stable releases :)
21:00:48barankoYes, i am one of such people.)
21:01:07[Saint]Which is somewhat ironic. As in general git head is goint to include more bugfixes.
21:01:17[Saint](but, potentially other newer, exciting bugs. :P)
21:01:44chrisjjI was wondering the same. Is there no coordinated QA for a new release? To ensure that ports declared stable are still stable?
21:02:06[Saint]There is. I just don;t think you've been around long enough.
21:02:14bertrikI think we do have a release manager
21:02:22[Saint]Typically we freeze for two weeks and focus exclusively on bugfixes.
21:02:27chrisjj"There is". Great. Where's the documentation?
21:02:33barankoOh, on one of our forums, i found that peoples feel difference with different builds of rockbox. Is it realy can be? Or this is just imagination?
21:03:04bertrikWhat documentation?

21:06:56[Saint]Ah. Hello good Sir.
21:06:57AlexPAnd I've never noticed chrisjj before a few months
21:06:58chrisjjThanks. Where's the QA coordinated?

21:07:21AlexPQA?
21:07:22AlexPHa
21:07:35AlexPWe have a freeze
21:07:38AlexPThen branch
21:07:42AlexPWith sometimes an RC
21:07:46AlexPWhich nobody uses
21:07:49AlexPThen we release
21:07:54[Saint]its "we freeze for ~2 weeks, and focus on fixing outstanding issues", then maybe an RC, then release.
21:08:02AlexPYou will have noticed all this on the mailing list of course
21:08:02[Saint]..then maybe a point release if necessary.
21:08:07AlexPyep
21:08:22bertrikand get translations more up-to-date usually before a release
21:08:22AlexPAnd hello to you too [Saint] :)
21:08:24AlexPyes
21:08:59chrisjjHi Alex. Is there a coordinated effort to verify ports declared stable are still stable?
21:09:25chrisjjIn particular, is there a checklist of verified ports?
21:09:32AlexPYou need to use the actual nick for highlighting to work
21:10:18AlexPThe ones declared stable
21:10:27AlexPAnd no, we do an RC and rely on people to tell us
21:10:29AlexPWe have too many targets
21:10:31AlexPBut seeing as nobody uses the RC
21:10:31barankoI don't think lots of usual users read any of it. May be there is some thense to announce this to community and ask for more test. Really automated install with installer was great and easy. It was my first touch of this great project.
21:10:35AlexPWe do announce it
21:10:36[Saint]We ask for RC tests, and no one does.
21:10:37AlexPThere is a message in the forums and on the dev and user mailing lists
21:10:51[Saint]Its literally a miracle if there's RC testing in any decent numbers.
21:11:28baranko"Forums' - it's project forum or some fan forums?
21:11:31[Saint]I'm really not sure what else we could do to get the users more involved.
21:11:37AlexPbaranko: forums.rockbox.org
21:11:49AlexPor forum

21:11:52AlexPI forget
21:12:32 Quit pamaury (Read error: Operation timed out)
21:12:45AlexPWe are well overdue for a release but a) we seem to get less stable all the time and b) I don't use Rockbox that much anymore so unless I really get kicked I haven't got round to it
21:14:30[Saint]We definitely would want to push RC candidates for this round.
21:14:40[Saint]But, only like 3 people will use them.
21:14:55AlexPWe'll do them anyway
21:14:57chrisjjAlexP: "There is a message in the forums" Thanks. Note: I see no such message for the RC of the current release - 3.13.
21:14:58AlexPYou never know :)
21:15:10[Saint]And only 1 will give any feedback, just to say "super cool, awesome guys - thanks!" :P
21:16:00AlexPI have a feeling that they didn't get made available for 3.13 as there wasn't a Swede around
21:16:11AlexPAnd by the time there was we were moving on
21:16:17AlexPBut I may well be misremembering
21:16:29AlexPI probably just didn't overlap with one
21:16:42chrisjj"Moving on". Well, it does depend on the target cirterion.
21:17:36AlexP"it does"
21:17:46chrisjjYour target criterion for release could be: a) when all stables are verified, or; b) when X weeks have passed regardless.
21:18:00AlexPNote: I don't know what you mean with random quotes. Be specific with your meaning
21:18:11chrisjjIf it is b), then no surprise "we seem to get less stable all the time" :)
21:18:22AlexPIt isn't
21:18:41AlexPBut if nobody replies we have no choice
21:19:38barankoAs for feedback, first of all, if everything works almost nobody come and say: everysing cool. Just like on isp forums. As for me, i can get another one player for test builds, but i prefer some instruction, like "guys need to check this and this and this. Any other on your needs.". So any algorythms of testing?
21:19:49chrisjjAlexP: "It isn't" Good to hear. But then what is it? I see no indication on the RC message e.g. http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php/topic,35755.0.html
21:20:19AlexPWhat?
21:20:40chrisjjWhat is the target criterion for release? If not a) or b) above.
21:20:59AlexPYou misinterpret my "It isn't"
21:21:06AlexPIgnore that
21:21:09chrisjjThen please clarify.
21:21:19chrisjjOK, ignoring :)
21:21:21AlexPI can only type so fast....
21:21:26chrisjjSorry :)
21:22:18AlexPThere is a time limit, which is generally a week or so, as outlined in the release schedules and on the public google calendar. If something gets reported in that time that takes longer to fix then it'll be delayed

21:25:36AlexPI'm sure users like them
21:25:52AlexPIt takes ages for a start and we all have real lives
21:26:34chrisjjYou know, porting takes ages, and real lives don't stop that :)
21:26:35n1schrisjj: just a "it starts and plays music" test for targets you have would be great and even better would be testing things that rely on specific hardware like fm radio and recording. The more things tested, the better but we can't realistically expect to try everything on every device every release
21:26:55AlexPchrisjj: That's because people find it interesting
21:27:01AlexPReleases aren't
21:27:07AlexPNor is bug fixing by and large
21:27:10chrisjjAlexP: where do those release schedules live?
21:27:19AlexPOn the dev mailing list
21:27:33n1sbug fixing is more fun than releasing :)
21:27:36AlexPand there is a google calendar, link should be in those emails on the mailing list too
21:27:45AlexPn1s: And that says it all I think :)
21:27:56AlexPMore testing for releases would be great of course
21:28:01AlexPAnd there was discussion of this

21:30:02chrisjjOK. I can see why we're short of testers.
21:30:17AlexPWe ask for testers with the RCs
21:30:25gevaertsWhy would the schedule be different for testers?
21:30:31n1sAlexP: a wikipage with a table of every port included in the release and a field to fill in results in freeform would be pretty easy
21:30:51AlexPn1s: Indeed so, but still nobody (me included) did it

21:31:19barankoMaybe some simplyfying neede of that process?
21:31:32AlexPWhich process?
21:31:52chrisjjAlexP: Yes, I see that e.g. http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php/topic,35755.0.html but there's no mention of a schedule, so a tester can't see whether a week later his testing is any use.
21:31:58AlexPI'm not blaiming users here particularly by the way, devs don't test either
21:32:01barankoTest for testers of test builds
21:32:15AlexPbaranko: Having a process would help :)
21:32:25AlexPchrisjj: Surely he can
21:32:34AlexPIf there hasn't been a release it isn't too late
21:32:51AlexPIf there has been, see if it is still in the release, if so file a bug report
21:33:16chrisjjIf that's the procedure then great... but I'd not have known it. Often elsewhere it is not.
21:34:18chrisjjBut even so, I think there are people who are not going to sit down for a weekends testing only to find it misses the boat.
21:34:32AlexPIt doesn't miss the boat entirely
21:34:49AlexPbug reports are still useful and if it is serious there can be a point release
21:34:59chrisjjThat's why I asked about a schedule. Saying "You have two weeks to test" is much better than leaving it undefined.
21:35:07AlexPsure
21:35:18chrisjjIt doesn't miss the next boat, agreed :)
21:35:35AlexPwhich can be immediate if needs be
21:35:52AlexPLots of the release process could be much better
21:35:56AlexPBut life is too short
21:36:57chrisjjSome would say life is too short to invest time in a project where "we seem to get less stable all the time"...
21:37:12AlexPsure, they can say what they'd like
21:37:22AlexPBut I have a job and a social life, sorry
21:37:38chrisjjAnd a good guard against such bit rot is coordinated release QA.
21:38:28gevaertsOne *big* issue we have is people getting demotivated by people standing at the sidelines criticising
21:40:06chrisjjAlexP: I'd assume the more valuable the time one gives to a project like this, the more important is making it worthwhile.
21:40:18AlexPeh?
21:40:42 Quit benedikt93 (Quit: Bye ;))
21:40:53chrisjjYou've given up time to be the release manager, right?
21:41:01AlexPsure
21:41:12AlexPPartly because nobody else wanted to :)
21:42:30chrisjjWell, I can see one thing that might discourage them ^^^
21:43:25AlexPYou saying that the time spent wasn't worthwhile?
21:44:47chrisjjNot at all. I'm saying that time spent guarding against bit rot might make the time already spent more worthwhile.
21:45:08AlexPsure
21:45:26chrisjj(My ^^^ refers to people who paint improvement suggestions as criticism from sidelines.)
21:45:41chrisjjWhere's the RB google calendar?
21:45:50AlexPimprovement suggestions are useless
21:45:57AlexPactually doing something is useful
21:45:57chrisjjI find only mailing list references to it 4 years ago.
21:46:16chrisjj"improvement suggestions are useless". Really?
21:46:20AlexPpretty much
21:46:30AlexPwe all do this as volunteers, in out spare time
21:46:51gevaertschrisjj: in case it wasn't clear, I was referring to people like you who step right out of Dilbert to come and annoy us
21:47:02chrisjj"pretty much" Not my experience at all.
21:47:02AlexPI don't do anything to be told what to do by people who don't do anything themselves
21:47:14AlexPIt doesn't make it fun
21:47:19AlexPAnd people only do this for fun
21:47:54chrisjj"who don't do anything themselves" Do you count "suggesting improvement" as doing anything?
21:47:59AlexPno
21:48:14AlexPI know, we all know, that there is much more to be done
21:48:24AlexPBut time and motivation preclude it
21:48:29AlexPThe only answer is more time
21:48:36AlexPAnd that needs people to provide it
21:48:39barankoOk, don,t use electricity if you cannot build generator at least.
21:48:57AlexPhow is that relevent?
21:49:00chrisjjIf you don't consider improvement suggesters as worthwhile, I wonder what you think testers are :)
21:49:13AlexPnot the same thing
21:49:21barankoSometimes someone can be cool in idea but bad in realise it no?
21:49:27AlexPtesters are primarily useful for finding things that don't work
21:49:36AlexPnot suggesting what they see as improvements
21:49:47AlexPwhich can often by contentious for a start
21:49:54chrisjjFixing bugs is improvement in my book.
21:50:16AlexPwell if that is what you meant, then fine
21:50:17gevaertschrisjj: are you now saying we need people who tell us that we should fix bugs?
21:52:31AlexPchrisjj: I'm going now, but just to finish - what is primarily needed is people to do things, not tell other people what needs to be done
21:52:42chrisjjIt is what I meant. And as you probably know, reporting bugs around here is also contentious. Esp. where "bug" is defined by reference to what the dev intended, rather than what the user expects.
21:52:58chrisjjNice to meet you and chat Alex. Bye for now.
21:53:17chrisjjCan anyone tell me where the Rockbox Google calendar is? Thanks.

22:17:11GodEatera bit of googling on the ML archives turned that up.
22:17:19GodEaterI expect you prefer other people to do that for you too.
22:18:59Karrde-heh
22:19:23AlexPIt seems I haven't mentioned it in a while
22:19:31AlexPbut e.g. http://www.rockbox.org/mail/archive/rockbox-dev-archive-2011-03/0120.shtml
22:19:38 Nick Karrde- is now known as Karrde (alucard@karrde.kiserai.net)
22:22:40[Saint]I think what is trying to be said here is that we clearly don't need people to tell us that the project has problems. We know this. What we do need is people prepared to take the initiative and fix these issues that annoy them.
22:23:09chrisjjAlexP: Thanks. That shows no events: http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/8862/9peh.png . Is this as intended?
22:23:24AlexPchrisjj: yes, there isn't anything in it for 3.14 yet
22:23:32AlexPbut if you go back you should see the others
22:23:50chrisjjThere is nothing in it for 3.13 and earlier....
22:24:16AlexPyes there is
22:24:18AlexPFeb 2013
22:25:07chrisjjAh, Google was filtering. Found Feb 2013 now - thanks.
