joschinteresting... on a311d, a linux kernel build with -j4 takes 3.86 hours and with -j6 it takes 3.79 hours. That's barely an improvement but the system is much more usable when building with -j407:37

ex-parrotI kind of like having a slower computer07:53
joschex-parrot: what are your reasons?08:00
ex-parrotit's something I'm trying to articulate08:00
ex-parrotbut it encourages me to do things that are actually useful and pleasant for me08:00
ex-parrotrather than just muck around on the dying web08:00
ex-parrotmaybe?08:00
ex-parrotthat said I have been processing multiple-hundred-megabyte TIFF images on a modern iMac recently and the fluidity of that is nice 08:01
joschah i heard boostisbetter make the same reasoning08:03
ex-parrotACTION waves hands in a vague gesture08:03
ex-parrotthis is about the extent that I have concrete thoughts on the matter sorry :P08:03
joschi don't mind the slowness 99% of the time because the software i usually use (including the web) doesn't require much08:04
joschbut then sometimes... i wish i wouldn't have to wait 4 hours for this kernel to throw the next error message XD08:04

ex-parrotI've been doing a small bit of kernel hacking for work and very glad for the copy-symvers-recompile-one-module-directory trick08:05

joschminute: https://community.mnt.re/t/getting-x11-working-again/1911 also reminded me that we are still shipping X11 config files specific to etnaviv with reform-tools. What would you suggest should we do with those?11:20
joschthe content of those files is problematic for people who try out X11 on platforms that are not imx8mq11:20
joschi've run into that myself when attempting to use the LS1028A with other pcie cards11:20
joschi don't know if those can be rewritten to not cause trouble on platforms that are not the imx8mq11:22

joschminute: do you have some time later to test 6.7.7 as built by https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-debian-packages/-/merge_requests/2314:57
minutejosch: i would suggest we remove those files and archive there content in this community thread (about x11)14:57
joschit got uploaded to unstable yesterday14:57
minutejosch: sure!14:57

joschyes, development for everybody on unstable has been stalled for over a week now18:12
joschi'm resorting to using testing or packages from snapshot.debian.org18:12
joschit is very annoying especially because it was apparently something that was done in a rush because ubuntu wanted 64-bit time_t support for their upcoming armhf LTS release, so thing were done in a hurry without sufficient planning and hence, many issues were only uncovered when it was too late and broken packages were already in unstable... it's a very bad mess.. :(18:13

joschit was very surprising for me to see how large of a lever canonical has on a volunteer project like debian...18:14
sigridso that's like.. unpaid labour?18:17
joschwell... canonical does employ people full time for their work in debian18:20
joschpersonally, the problem i see is that a) canonical employs them to work on it but it doesn't necessarily require them to do the work with the same care and quality that i expect from the project and b) it now blocks tons of volunteer time for everybody who has to wait and twiddle their fingers until canonical people are done fixing their mess... :/18:21
joschsorry, i don't want to rant too much either18:21
minuteno, it's good to get some perspective on this18:22
joschthis is nothing against the people employed by canonical -- i know many of them in person and value their expertise highly18:22
joschi'd rather like to rant about the company which naturally cares more that stuff gets done so that it can sell it to paying customers rather than that stuff gets done *right*18:22
minuteyeah18:23
joschthe next big potentially breaking change will be in around a week when the final merged-/usr transition happens18:23
joschbut the main driver has put a *lot* of thought into that one, so i expect only minimal fallout, if any18:24
joschi had wished that the time_t transition was handled with similar care and digilence as the merged-/usr transition was in the last half year18:24

joschin more positive news, i just pushed linux 6.6.13-1~bpo12+1 from bookworm backports to reform.debian.net :)18:28
