#rockbox log for 2020-04-16

00:10:21speachyoaky, the buildmaster is still thinking my latex manual builds are bad; when I build them by hand they're good so I don't know why it's being a poopy-head.
00:10:38speachyit failed my builder, so the android stuff didn't get built, hence the two errors.
00:11:09gevaertsHmmm
00:11:12speachyso, I'm disabling latex on my builders until I can figure out WTF it's being so persnickety..
00:11:28gevaertsThe buildmaster uses regex matching on the log IIRC to see if things are OK
00:11:46speachythe magic string "not found" it's looking for isn't present when I fire off the exact cmdline the builder uses

00:32:30speachyrbclient.pl in www.git is busted. fixing it will have to wait until after dinner.

02:41:39_Bilgusspeachy do you have a todo list up anywhere?
02:43:29speachyfor infra stuff, code, or all the above?
02:46:38speachyfor the former, definitely. the latter, I don't really have anything beyond various half-started git branches and patches already in gerrit.
02:59:03speachythe lion's share of my code changes lately have been driven by things I'm finding while trying to get the infra going
02:59:19speachyI consider the toolchain bumps as part of that

14:04:02rboxhi, i've used rockbox for years on a sansa clip 2, until the device died. i've looked through the list of supported devices but many seem to no longer be on sale. could you suggest some devices that are still around, looking for a simple mp3 player, where you could still buy them?

14:17:38speachyblbro[m], I fixed the wrapping issue on the command line. But that that filter script wasn't being used for the html manuals
14:20:27speachy_Bilgus, Hmm, I guess I could augment the MrSomeonesTodoList wiki page, but I can't claim that the stuff on my list was "agreed needs to be done" by anyone other than the voices in my head
14:30:20speachy_Bilgus, here's the state of my brain dump todo: http://www.peachyphotos.com/blog/stories/rockbox-todos/
14:31:40speachyI have a separate one for the infra stuff, mostly migration-related things, but the "misc improvements" section is growing theretoo..

18:24:36speachyhmm. looking at the MrSomeoneTodoList wiki page, I noticed "show transfer times on the developer build page"
18:25:17 Quit rbox (Remote host closed the connection)
18:25:20speachythis is actually really easy to do (the data is already there) but I don't see it as being terribly useful as the detail page already shows the average transfer speed of each builder in that round.
18:26:23 Join lebellium [0] (~lebellium@89-92-253-148.hfc.dyn.abo.bbox.fr)
18:26:56speachyanyone think otherwise?
19:00
19:04:50Bilguslike the time it took to send the data to a build client and return trip?
19:06:19speachythe data captured is the time it takes to upload the built blob.
19:06:47speachysince for many(most?) of the builds the results aren't actually uploaded.
19:07:18Bilgusyeah so that seems kinda pointless except maybe a metric for performance
19:07:56speachyyeah, the existing page already averages the upload speed for the entire batch on that host.
19:08:14BilgusIf it were going on the build page maybe set a threshold and only show outliers
19:08:44Bilgusbut really a clean buildpage is easier to grok\
19:10:12Bilgusyou said the results aren't uploaded do they get CRCd and rejected then?
19:11:34speachyit only uploads the firmware builds; stuff like checkwps, sims, etc are just there to catch regressions
19:12:54Bilgushmm and every build round uploads all the built fw?
19:13:00speachyyes
19:13:38Bilgusseems like a lot of extra traffic for something that didn't change
19:14:10speachywell, it's done on every commit, and there's no really good way to know if something would have changed or not
19:14:57Bilguscouldn't you do a crc over the fw and check it against the record on the server?
19:15:17speachyno, becuase the commit id changes therefore the checksum would change. :)
19:15:22speachyevery build is genuinely different
19:16:04speachywe keep 30 days' worth of builds, no more than 1 per day.
19:16:26Bilgusah yeah because we show the Build number in the FW
19:18:13Bilgusthere is already a delay on dev build hitting the main page how is that handled in the 1/day thing?
19:19:21speachyevery night the final build for a given day is archived and becomes that day's build.
19:19:41speachyand if no new build happened on that day, the previous day's build is copied.
19:20:41speachythis way we can easily expire anything over 30 days old rather "delete all but one build for a given day but then keep the most recent 30 files"
19:21:12speachyI think the latter would be nice to have but it's a lot more complicated to implement.
19:27:38Bilgusper your TODO I'm going to start purging HWCODEC (again) as soon as you decide your ARCHOS itches are scratched WIKI - group effort GERRIT maybe we can mark all the cannot merge as abandoned −−the rest maybe have everyone vote for what should be removed
19:28:33speachyhmm. source snapshots, daily changelogs and mapfiles are broken. probably disappeared once the builds page started using the output of the farm instead of generating everything itself.
19:28:49 Quit dys (Ping timeout: 258 seconds)
19:29:10BilgusI think we could knock out 25% of the backlog on Cannot Merge
19:29:24speachygiven that Archos appears to work with a modern toolchain, there's no longer any immediate need to nuke it, except for the hwcodec thing
19:29:52Bilgus*OH mapfiles in the releases is important if you are taking requests for your TODO*
19:30:10speachyreleases or daily builds?
19:30:20Bilgusdailys
19:30:39BilgusI thought the releases already had it
19:30:40speachyok.. they're not captured as part of the normal 'make zip
19:30:44Bilgusif not there too
19:31:33speachyI mean, adding it to the zip would be the simplest way to capture them for everyone, just bloats the zips a little
19:32:32speachyadding in the map increases the xduoox3 zipfile by ~100k, for example
19:32:46speachy860k extracted.
19:32:49Bilgusyeah like 1-2Kb it'd be worth it to have it on device I could even make up a lua script to search it
19:33:17speachyand that won't cover plugins, codecs, etc. just the main fw image.
19:34:12Bilguswell if its that big them maybe not releases but for sure dev builds
19:35:36speachyno.. it would need to be across the board, we dont' want to have someone unzip a new firmware file that doesn't include a mapfile −− we'll end up with a stale map which is beyond worthless.
19:36:04Bilgusah yeah true\
19:36:23speachythe buildmaster doesn't care all that much; it's the client that decides what to upload.
19:36:34Bilgusits definitely a good trouble shooting tool
19:36:43Bilgustroubleshooting*
19:37:04speachyI'll add maps, changelogs, and source snapshots to the TODO.
19:37:44speachysource snapshots in particular.
