08:26:33	amachronic	_bilgus, i'm trying to refactor the multiboot code and noticed g#2640 looks unnecessary since boot data gets filled in by the LOAD_FIRMWARE call. is it only a hack because ROLO doesn't handle multiboot redirect properly or is there more to it?
08:26:36	rb-bluebot	Gerrit review #2640 at https://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/c/rockbox/+/2640 : ROLO - Enable multiboot firmware by William Wilgus
08:27:56	_bilgus	rolo needed a way to write the bootdata to the newly loaded fw
08:28:20	_bilgus	it doesn't use LOAD_FIRMWARE IIRC
08:31:28	amachronic	afaict the bootdata is written from rb-loader.c or mi4-loader.c load_firmware()
08:31:48	amachronic	but I think ROLO is hardcoded to load from the internal drive
08:32:32	amachronic	instead of loading from the path where the currently running firmware was loaded from
08:33:09	_bilgus	yes sounds about right
08:33:50	_bilgus	something like its going to write bootdata saying drive 0 (what it considers drive 0) but its really drive 1
08:34:17	amachronic	oh yeah there are some shenanigans about mounting the boot drive first
08:35:14	_bilgus	there is also weird stuff between the bootloader and fw don't confuse who has control
08:37:07	_bilgus	remember the fw and bl share code but they need to be backwards compatible to a point
08:38:11	amachronic	yes I'm well aware of that PITA
08:38:33	_bilgus	beyond that there is a namespace patch I F*ed up that was supposed to rectify this
08:38:37	amachronic	right now I'm just deduplicating some code that got copy pasted to mi4-loader.c
08:41:21	_bilgus	there isn't a whole bunch to it just a bit hacky
08:43:55	amachronic	the hosted ports already have a 'root redirect' which is pretty much what we're trying to do with namespacing, right?
08:44:15	amachronic	basically just prepend a path implicitly
08:49:42	_bilgus	yeah basically make the path /1/clipzip/.rockbox mount as 0/.rockbox
08:50:46	_bilgus	but the problem comes when you have say a plugin want to go to /1/mydata but its actually 0/../mydata
08:51:38	_bilgus	thats why mb doesn't support directories ATM
08:54:41	amachronic	on another note, does anyone mind if I drop the Samsung YP-Z5 port?
08:54:58	amachronic	its bootloader no longer compiles and it looks like it was never finished
08:57:33	speachy	flash-only
08:57:48	amachronic	that's what I was trying to find out
08:58:12	speachy	yeah, no card slot in the photos
08:58:55	speachy	wow, the wiki has actual schematics & service manual
08:59:57	_bilgus	I think between the four of us we have the major bugs in coverity pretty well tamed there are still a few questionable areas yet
09:00
09:02:51	speachy	so the YP-Z5 code is interfering with other maintainance tasks?
09:03:32	amachronic	well I am refactoring multiboot and it's only going to bitrot further if nobody is using / testing it
09:03:43	amachronic	the build failure is fairly trivial to fix if we'd like to keep it around
09:04:31	speachy	hasn't seen any meaningful work since 2013. the rest has been general refactoring
09:05:07	_bilgus	did we get any tests of it on our call out for builds on the forum?
09:05:22	speachy	_bilgus: it's not built by the farm
09:05:32	speachy	onboard storage was never finished
09:05:55	speachy	so it's truly unusable in its current form
09:07:27	_bilgus	oh in that case it should be easy enough for someone interested to pick it up later
09:08:41	speachy	amachronic: nuke away!
09:09:03	speachy	realistcally nobody is ever going to ever pick it back up
09:17:27	rb-bluebot	Build Server message: New build round started. Revision 786d06742a, 303 builds, 9 clients.
09:17:38	amachronic	... and it's gone!
09:17:51	speachy	so I take it plugin keymaps were never hacked in?
09:18:12	amachronic	no
09:25:10	speachy	when we have periods with a lot of builds the front of this server ends up acting as an air filter, collecting the ongoing gifts of the cats who like the dark warmth of that corner.

16:02:30	LambdaCalculus37	I see more dead/inactive ports are being removed from the codebase.
16:06:07	speachy	hard to argue keeping incomplete somethings that haven't been touched since their original commit.. eight years ago.
16:07:02	LambdaCalculus37	No arguments there.
16:07:34	LambdaCalculus37	I did mention a while back that there are three other ports that are pretty much dead and could be removed from the codebase.
16:09:41	***	Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
16:10:39	LambdaCalculus37	The Tatung Elio TPJ, the Meizu M6, and I would also have to say the Mini2440 port.
16:11:04	__builtin	Part of me is sad to see these peoples' work removed.
16:12:23	LambdaCalculus37	That's understandable, but at the same time, the Tatung port has seen zero work done on it, and the Meizu port, while it never got completed, at least did give us one good thing: the dfutools utility that eventually got the iPod Nano 2G and iPod Classic ports going.
16:14:10	speachy	thanks to git, they're not gone forever
16:14:11	__builtin	I think that ports that still compile and run (without burdening the rest of the code with something like HWCODEC) still hold some value
16:15:02	speachy	__builtin: yep. anything that is complete enough to be usable (ie can play music off some sort of storage) is generally keeping
16:15:10	speachy	worth keeping, that is
16:15:42	LambdaCalculus37	But that's what brings me back to the Tatung port. It does nothing.
16:15:57	LambdaCalculus37	In fact, trying to build it just throws a giant wall of errors up.
16:16:52	LambdaCalculus37	There's no keymap, no display, no audio playback, no nothing.
16:16:56	LambdaCalculus37	It's a stub of a port.
16:19:42	speachy	heh, the TPJ hasn't seen work since before 2009
16:20:35	LambdaCalculus37	Yeet it to /dev/null.
16:21:00	__builtin	I defer to the more active folks around here
16:24:58	LambdaCalculus37	Same here, but I will support the decisions they make.
16:30:43	speachy	g#3713
16:30:45	rb-bluebot	Gerrit review #3713 at https://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/c/rockbox/+/3713 : Remove the (very) incomplete port for the Tatung TPJ-1102 by Solomon Peachy
16:31:00	speachy	net 772 removed lines
16:33:35	speachy	The M6 and mini2440 seems much more complete; unless they're interfering with anything I don't see a good reason to nuke 'em.
16:34:23	LambdaCalculus37	Point taken.
16:36:29	bertrik	I might still have an M6, I think I worked on it at least
16:36:42	bertrik	but lost interest/hope
16:37:00	bertrik	can't remember exactly
