[03:38:00] <ratbert> [Global notice] I am a fat asshole, who loves abuse, die
[03:38:11] <ratbert> DCC SEND YOUAREALLJUDENLOL
[11:02:20] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> I seem to be having some issues with EMC and dapper
[11:02:54] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> as soon as I start emc it starts giving errors in the terminal
[11:02:55] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> HAL:0: ERROR: signal 'axisui.jog.x' not found
[11:02:55] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> HAL:0: ERROR: signal 'axisui.jog.y' not found
[11:02:55] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> HAL:0: ERROR: signal 'axisui.jog.z' not found
[11:02:55] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> HAL:0: ERROR: signal 'axisui.jog.a' not found
[11:02:55] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> HAL:0: ERROR: signal 'axisui.jog.b' not found
[11:02:57] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> HAL:0: ERROR: signal 'axisui.jog.c' not found
[11:03:09] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> this pattern repeats continously
[11:03:18] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> but I can still jog the axes and so on
[11:03:58] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> however there is a lot more latency when jogging, when I press a button to jog it starts instantly, but continues something like 0.5 seconds after I release
[11:05:25] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> it seems that the error message sequence appears once per time that I release the jog button. Only after the message is printed does the jogging stop (0.5 seconds)
[11:06:15] <alex_joni> ok, lets rewind for a bit
[11:06:29] <alex_joni> the axisui.* buttons are only in the latest AXIS versions
[11:06:59] <alex_joni> and in order for AXIS to use them, you need to have the latest emc2 too
[11:07:10] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> I compiled both from head
[11:07:16] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> at least, I think I did
[11:07:29] <alex_joni> are you sure you chose one of the configs from the emc2 head version?
[11:07:47] <alex_joni> I usually get mixed stuff when having an installed emc2, and one from CVS HEAD
[11:07:57] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> what do you mean by config?
[11:08:02] <alex_joni> so you need to be VERY carefull what config you choose
[11:08:06] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> the .ini and other assosiated files?
[11:08:10] <alex_joni> right
[11:08:15] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> currently I'
[11:08:21] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> m using the one I made before
[11:08:28] <alex_joni> that's your problem then
[11:08:37] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> different syntax?
[11:08:39] <alex_joni> you need to redo it based on the one from HEAD
[11:08:43] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> oh, ok
[11:08:44] <alex_joni> no, missing one hal file
[11:08:56] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> ah, so if I keep the old one and add the new file?
[11:09:08] <alex_joni> there is a core_axis.hal in emc2/configs/common
[11:09:17] <alex_joni> copy it over, and enable it from the ini
[11:09:33] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> what do you mean by enable?
[11:10:16] <alex_joni> add
[11:10:33] <alex_joni> HALFILE = core_axis.hal
[11:10:49] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> ok
[11:11:20] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> in which part of the ini?
[11:11:32] <alex_joni> there should be similar lines like that :D
[11:11:41] <alex_joni> in [HAL]
[11:11:45] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> and where should the .hal be located, in the same folder as the .ini or another folder?
[11:11:49] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> oh, ok
[11:11:53] <alex_joni> in the same folder
[11:12:30] <alex_joni> basicly when we talk about a 'config' we mean the whole folder
[11:12:44] <alex_joni> that holds the .ini, .tbl, .nml, .hal's, etc
[11:13:21] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> so that's pretty much the only folder for configs?
[11:13:30] <alex_joni> how do you mean that?
[11:14:24] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> all settings are done in that folder
[11:14:27] <alex_joni> right
[11:15:10] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> well, everything seems to be working so far
[11:15:22] <alex_joni> coo
[11:16:36] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> programs run and so on
[11:23:23] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> how do I set up jogwheels?
[11:31:30] <alex_joni> well.. first you need one
[11:31:43] <alex_joni> next you need it counted by something (e.g. encoder module, and parport interface)
[11:31:52] <alex_joni> next you need to connect the encoder stuff to halui
[11:32:08] <alex_joni> or directly to motion
[11:32:12] <alex_joni> that works far better
[11:32:30] <alex_joni> then you need to connect those AXIS signals to motion, to switch the axis to be jogged
[11:34:07] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> hmm. ok. I've got all the hardware done, what I need to do now is get the signals (quadrature, pin A for phase A, pin B for phase B) to AXIS, and all the stuff between
[11:34:41] <alex_joni> right
[11:34:43] <alex_joni> bbl
[11:35:33] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> who knows how do do that?
[11:38:08] <fenn> i think i hear a fine manual calling your name
[11:39:35] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> oh? it's in the manual already?
[11:39:39] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> which?
[11:40:07] <fenn> you need to know how hal works if you want to connect all the signals to the right places
[11:41:04] <fenn> look at the maxnc example config for how to setup an encoder
[11:41:20] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> oh, I don't really know as it is now. so it's not nearly as simple as changing pins in pinout.hal?
[11:41:55] <fenn> actually the latest maxnc might have a jogwheel already
[11:42:11] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> are all changes done in the config folder?
[11:42:30] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> or do I need to muddle with sourcecode and change stuff there?
[11:42:46] <fenn> you shouldnt need to mess with any code
[11:43:36] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> oh, then I think I can get it to work. I'll take a look at the maxnc config. which manual was there information in?
[11:44:35] <fenn> hal_documentation.pdf and the hal chapters in the user manual
[11:46:36] <fenn> cd configs ; grep jog ./ -R
[11:46:49] <fenn> that should show you a bunch of stuff in demo_mazak, that's half of what you need to do
[11:51:38] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> and the other half?
[11:53:43] <fenn> should be able to figure that out by looking at the available hal pins
[11:54:24] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> oh, so just changes to the values that are in that file?
[11:54:30] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> rather than brand new values
[12:03:18] <fenn> no, open halcmd and type "show pin"
[12:03:34] <fenn> or just "halcmd show pin"
[12:03:39] <fenn> with emc running
[12:04:55] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> what am I looking for?
[12:07:49] <fenn> something like jog.enable
[12:08:03] <fenn> and jog.x jog.y jog.z
[12:08:33] <fenn> i dont remember what they're called exactly
[12:08:57] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> axis.X.jog.enable/count/scale
[12:09:59] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> enable is currently set to false on all axes, even though I'm in jog mode. (This is not with the maxnc config)
[12:33:04] <alex_joni> Lerneaen_Hydra2: you need to connect the signals from AXIS to those enables
[12:33:29] <alex_joni> halcmd linksp axisui.jog.x axis.0.jog.enable
[12:33:34] <alex_joni> halcmd linksp axisui.jog.y axis.1.jog.enable
[12:33:38] <alex_joni> halcmd linksp axisui.jog.z axis.2.jog.enable
[12:33:40] <alex_joni> and so on
[12:33:59] <alex_joni> that will take care of enabling the jog for one of the axes (X,Y,Z) when you select that axis in AXIS
[12:34:26] <alex_joni> then you need an encoder module (halcmd loadrt encoder num_chan=1)
[12:34:37] <alex_joni> then you need to connect the jogwheel to it:
[12:34:43] <alex_joni> newsig bit encA
[12:34:45] <alex_joni> newsig bit encB
[12:34:56] <alex_joni> linksp encA parport.0.pin-10-in
[12:35:00] <alex_joni> linksp encB parport.0.pin-11-in
[12:35:08] <alex_joni> linksp encA encoder.0.phase-A
[12:35:12] <alex_joni> linksp encB encoder.0.phase-B
[12:35:32] <alex_joni> then you need to tell the encoder how it should convert the counts to units
[12:36:18] <alex_joni> setp encoder.0.position-scale 480 (or whatever value you need)
[12:37:09] <alex_joni> Lerneaen_Hydra2: and so on ;) but if you understand how the HAL works, then you should be able to build this up in a couple of minutes
[12:53:07] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> alex_joni: right. where do I input all this so it autoloads? the newsig and linksp I know goes into standard_pinout.hal, but what about the halcm loardrt encoder num_chan=1 and connecting the signals from AXIS to the enables?
[13:02:53] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> alex_joni: oh, and scale would be counts per unit of movement? just like scale in the main ini?
[13:08:48] <alex_joni> right
[13:08:58] <alex_joni> basicly this can go to any .hal file
[13:09:20] <alex_joni> but I would recommend you make a .hal file of your own (so you don't get affected by future changes)
[13:10:04] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> oh. everything or just the stuff that doesn't go into standard_pinout.hal?
[13:10:25] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> and I also need to have a reference line in the main.ini file, right?
[13:11:51] <fenn> .hal files are just scripts that execute halcmd commands
[13:12:08] <fenn> nothing has to go in any hal file in particular, but they do need to be run in the right order
[13:12:46] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> right. so my file should exeute last?
[13:12:59] <fenn> yep
[13:14:22] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> so one of the commands that I was wondering about (halcmd encode num_chan=1) should just be a line in my hal file that says "num_chan=1"?
[13:17:27] <fenn> loadrt encoder num_chan=1 means load a realtime encoder module with 1 channel
[13:17:41] <fenn> you would put 'loadrt encoder num_chan=1' in the hal file
[13:18:43] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> no, of course not. I was wondering if I should then put a line that says "num_chan=1" in the file
[13:24:39] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> bug/strange behavior report: when using the arrow keys to jog, if I jog both X and Z, they will continue for a bit after I release them. Longer than if I jog them seperatly
[13:26:25] <fenn> yep thats an old bug and no fix in sight
[13:26:47] <alex_joni> fenn: the old bug, was that it would just keep jogging
[13:27:05] <alex_joni> but that was for tkemc, and I fixed that a while ago
[13:27:14] <alex_joni> Lerneaen_Hydra2: do you mean you get this for AXIS?
[13:34:11] <alex_joni> bbl
[13:42:00] <jepler> it's possible that the changes to axis, which manipulate the axisui.jog.[xyz] pins, introduce a noticeable lag before the second key release can be processed.
[13:42:16] <jepler> Lerneaen_Hydra2: is this lag when releasing two jog keys at the same time new, or have you always experienced it?
[14:02:30] <cradek> alex_joni: at workshop I noticed tkemc jogging is still (or again) not right, but I'm sorry to say I forget the details exactly
[14:03:22] <cradek> alex_joni: it was either a problem with multiple axes, or press-release-press of one axis
[14:03:37] <cradek> or both :-)
[14:03:40] <alex_joni> cradek: I'll bother when there will be a bug report ;)
[14:03:46] <cradek> haha
[14:03:49] <alex_joni> till then it probably works fine :D
[14:03:56] <cradek> ok I don't blame you one bit
[14:04:04] <alex_joni> bet you feel the same :D
[14:04:38] <cradek> you'll notice I didn't bother to try it before saying something
[14:06:04] <cradek> I think the problem was "it's not jogging even though I'm holding the key down" instead "it jogs forever after I release it" like before, which is a much less important bug
[14:06:12] <cradek> instead OF
[14:07:43] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> Uh, I have latency stopping a log regardless of whether I release them simultaneusly or sequentially
[14:08:05] <cradek> even when jogging only one axis?
[14:08:10] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> jepler: I haven't thought of it much before, so probably new, though I'm not sure. Yes this is AXIS
[14:08:18] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> cradek: no, at least not as much
[14:08:37] <cradek> ok
[14:08:41] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> when only jogging one I get maybe 1/5th of a second or so (I'm just guessing the value)
[14:09:46] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> cradek: did the images I sent yesterday clear anything up?
[14:09:53] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> with tool angles and so on
[14:09:56] <cradek> do you have your wheel working?
[14:10:24] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> I havn't connected it yet. Right now I'm modifying the mechanical bits
[14:10:31] <cradek> yes I believe we're thinking the same kind of thing
[14:10:34] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> But I'll connect it later today
[14:10:39] <jepler> Lerneaen_Hydra2: in axis.py around line 95, insert "return" as the first line of the function. Then rebuild. Let me know if this reduces the lag.
[14:10:43] <jepler> def halcmd_sets(signal, value):
[14:10:45] <jepler> return
[14:10:46] <jepler> this will skip calling 'halcmd'
[14:10:49] <jepler> os.spawnvp(os.P_WAIT, "halcmd", ["halcmd", "sets", signal, str(value)])
[14:13:20] <cradek> bbl
[14:13:54] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> ok
[14:15:16] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> jepler: do I need to ./configure --enable-run-in-place or just make && sudo make setuid
[14:15:29] <jepler> just 'make'
[14:15:36] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> ok
[14:15:42] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> * Lerneaen_Hydra2 compiling
[14:16:18] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> what type of bad stuff can happen now that I've removed that?
[14:16:38] <jepler> the axisui.jog.[xyz] signals will never be set
[14:16:42] <jepler> so your jogwheel wouldn't work
[14:16:45] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> oh, ok
[14:17:02] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> so when I connect them I'll need to comment that command out and recompile?
[14:17:08] <jepler> yes
[14:17:29] <jepler> what I am trying to find out is if this change is the reason you're noticing it's slow to stop jogging
[14:17:33] <jepler> it's not a "fix"
[14:17:40] <jepler> it's a step in diagnosis
[14:18:01] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> yes, it's back to how it was before now
[14:18:04] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> no noticable lag
[14:18:14] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> naturally
[14:18:29] <jepler> ok
[14:18:39] <jepler> thanks for doing that test for me
[14:18:46] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> sure, np
[14:19:15] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> anything else I should test or do you know enough now?
[14:19:45] <jepler> nothing right now. I'll let you know if you can help again.
[14:19:52] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> ok
[14:32:33] <jepler> Lerneaen_Hydra2: try changing your axis.py near line 95 to the code shown here: http://pastebin.ca/71266
[14:33:52] <jepler> remove the old 2 or 3 lines of halcmd_sets and replace it with the code in the pastebin
[14:37:14] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> which old lines?
[14:37:26] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> I can only find one row of halcmd around line 95
[14:40:08] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> or wait, oh, you mean the entire code segment?
[14:40:44] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> the entire def halcmd_sets portion? (2 lines default, currently 3)
[14:42:46] <jepler> yes
[14:42:58] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> ok, compiling
[14:44:16] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> do I need to do ./configure --enable-run-in-place?
[14:44:54] <jepler> shouldn't need to
[14:45:16] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> looks like I needed to do that, I didn't first and got strange behavior, stopped after mentioning magma
[14:45:29] <jepler> huh
[14:46:01] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> or, wait
[14:46:03] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> nevermind
[14:46:17] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> I just missed some text in the shell window
[14:46:59] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> oh, it doesn't start now
[14:47:19] <jepler> huh
[14:47:25] <jepler> can you pastebin the output you do get?
[14:47:44] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> yes
[14:48:15] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> pastebin is slow today for me...
[14:48:28] <jepler> try pastebin.ca
[14:48:30] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> ok
[14:48:54] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> http://pastebin.ca/71274
[14:48:58] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> right, that worked better
[14:50:14] <jepler> huh
[14:52:03] <jepler> one of us must have messed up that code I put on pastebin
[14:52:30] <jepler> just download this axis.py and save it over the one you have: http://emergent.unpy.net/index.cgi-files/sandbox/axis.py
[14:53:02] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> oh, ok
[14:56:56] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> right, it loads now
[14:57:11] <jepler> and .. is it fast? or slow?
[14:57:26] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> aand the latency is gone
[14:57:36] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> just like it behaved before
[14:58:51] <jepler> good
[14:59:05] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> one thing that has changed between now and the previous head I had was that previously when pressing both up and down, it would always jog to x- or z-, whereas now it jogs with the last key that was pressed
[15:01:07] <jepler> huh -- I haven't deliberately changed how multiple presses are handled.
[15:01:53] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> the previous head I had was one maybe... 2-3 weeks old
[15:08:59] <SWPadnos> jepler - you may want to add k to the halcmd options
[15:09:11] <SWPadnos> it'll exit after any error without that
[15:10:39] <SWPadnos> also, you can probably do a lot less parsing if you add the s (script mode) option (though that's unnecessary since it works as is)
[15:13:26] <jepler> actually, I want it to fail if the axisui signals haven't been created. that will make the overhead even lower for those who don't want jogwheels or whatnot
[15:14:14] <jepler> maybe my users will feel differently, I dunno
[15:15:38] <jepler> and I never read anything from halcmd, but "-s" will be great when I do
[15:25:23] <SWPadnos> heh - I just noticed that it's only used for 'sets' (in the diff anyway)
[15:46:58] <jmkasunich> cradek: you around?
[15:47:08] <jmkasunich> I noticed all the lathe offset stuff is in a branch?
[15:47:39] <jmkasunich> at least the commit messages imply that
[16:14:11] <jepler> jmkasunich: yeah, I think that's true
[16:14:39] <jmkasunich> wonder when/if he's gonna move it to head?
[16:14:56] <jmkasunich> the compile farm doesn't look at branches (except the v2.0 branch)
[16:21:10] <jepler> I'm sure he knows that
[16:24:08] <jmkasunich> I figured.... just thought if it was pretty much done I'd poke him to move it
[16:42:14] <cradek> hi
[16:43:11] <cradek> the changes are so invasive I think they shouldn't be on head until they're tested a bit
[16:44:00] <cradek> I still have to write shape compensation, it's going to be hairy
[16:44:15] <cradek> I was wrong about it being good enough to just move the controlled point to the center of the radius
[16:44:57] <cradek> if I do that, and someone cuts without radius comp on, the part will be two tool radiuses too small
[16:45:10] <cradek> ("duh")
[16:45:30] <cradek> so I have to convert all the radius comp moves to consider the tool shape/origin
[16:55:25] <fenn> jan is definitely right that we should support comedi drivers
[16:56:05] <fenn> oh gee that was 3 days ago
[16:58:15] <fenn> jmkasunich: its something you should take a long hard look at before refactoring hal
[17:01:10] <jepler> there's going to be a bit of CVS server downtime today (in the next 4 hours). it shouldn't last long.
[17:01:48] <cradek> I'm working on emc but I think it won't bother me
[17:02:06] <fenn> the on-call engineer is going to be doing some routine maintenance eh?
[17:34:24] <alex_joni> 'lo
[17:35:14] <cradek> hi
[17:36:04] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> 'lo bob
[17:36:50] <alex_joni> * alex_joni is freaking pissed
[17:37:15] <SWPadnos> what fer?
[17:39:22] <alex_joni> lost the car keys
[17:39:42] <cradek> oh no
[17:39:54] <alex_joni> along with the registration
[17:39:56] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> oh... that's not good.
[17:40:00] <alex_joni> indeed no
[17:40:46] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> lost for good or lost can not find them for now?
[17:41:07] <alex_joni> for now the later one, but I think it will eventually turn into the first one :/
[17:42:26] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> oh crap.. x.x
[17:47:06] <cradek> Lerneaen_Hydra2: http://timeguy.com/cradek-files/emc/lathecomp.png
[17:56:53] <jmkasunich> fenn: I've looked at comedi before (and probably should again)
[17:57:01] <jmkasunich> but in general, I didn't like their approach
[17:57:07] <alex_joni> hi jmk
[17:57:12] <jmkasunich> hi alex
[18:11:11] <jmkasunich> cradek: what level of testing do you think is needed to prove that the lathe offset code didn't bust mill mode?
[18:11:21] <jmkasunich> seems like thats all thats needed prior to a merge
[18:11:56] <jmkasunich> and of course, thats what _won't_ happen unless we specifically do it, because the only folks using the lathe branch are those with lathes, not mills?
[18:12:02] <cradek> jmkasunich: I sure touched a lot of things... I'd like it if someone with a lot of radius comp mill gcode would load them all up in axis and have a look
[18:12:25] <jmkasunich> maybe a post to emc-developers or even emc-users with that request?
[18:12:31] <cradek> also I'm kind of worried about inverse feed rate mode
[18:12:45] <cradek> but if anything that'll likely be wrong in XZ and not XY
[18:14:24] <alex_joni> cradek: what's up with the new directories in CVS?
[18:14:32] <cradek> ?
[18:14:58] <alex_joni> New directory emc
[18:15:05] <alex_joni> New directory EMC
[18:15:08] <cradek> wtf???
[18:15:11] <alex_joni> New directory emc2
[18:15:16] <alex_joni> got those by email
[18:15:54] <cradek> I bet it's a bug
[18:16:05] <alex_joni> Subject: [Emc-commit] emc2 - Imported sources
[18:16:05] <cradek> lathecomp.ngc is on the branch only
[18:16:48] <SWPadnos> that's new directory - emc (not emc2
[18:16:49] <SWPadnos> )
[18:16:57] <alex_joni> the emc & EMC where 2 mails before the lathecomp, and the emc2 is afterwards
[18:17:11] <jmkasunich> something is fscked
[18:17:15] <alex_joni> SWPadnos: I got 3 mails, one for each dir
[18:17:22] <SWPadnos> oh right - emc, EMC, emc2
[18:17:31] <jmkasunich> same here
[18:17:54] <jmkasunich> side effect of jepler's admin stuff?
[18:17:57] <alex_joni> might be nothing.. (probably a bug in the commit mail)
[18:18:04] <alex_joni> commit script I mean
[18:18:21] <jmkasunich> just got another emc2 one
[18:19:37] <alex_joni> if cradek's silent, he probably is investigating this :)
[18:21:06] <SWPadnos> hmmm - are those messages sent by the server itself, or cia / SF / ... ?
[18:21:09] <cradek> I don't see anything wrong, but those are strange mails
[18:21:25] <cradek> Received: from cvs.linuxcnc.org (localhost [127.0.0.1])
[18:21:27] <alex_joni> cradek: does the cvs server have those in the sent mail?
[18:21:28] <cradek> by cvs.linuxcnc.org (8.13.4/8.13.4) with ESMTP id k5PIO8QO001263
[18:21:31] <cradek> for <emc-commit@lists.sourceforge.net>;
[18:21:58] <cradek> alex_joni: yes
[18:22:08] <cradek> my mail script is obviously bogus somehow
[18:22:16] <alex_joni> ok, so probably something confused your mail script
[18:22:18] <cradek> and I bet it has to do with Attic
[18:22:20] <jmkasunich> why suddenly now?
[18:22:33] <alex_joni> does it have "Imported source" somewhere?
[18:22:34] <cradek> a new file that is only on the branch
[18:22:47] <cradek> alex_joni: no, that must come from cvs itself
[18:23:22] <SWPadnos> there are a bunch of files that are only in a branch, aren't there? (like some entire config dirs)
[18:23:25] <alex_joni> I see... he says but stumbled further in darkness
[18:24:31] <cradek> the cvs root@cvs# cat ../../last_commit
[18:24:31] <cradek> emc2 - Imported sources
[18:25:14] <cradek> I'm clueless
[18:26:09] <cradek> is 83-131-250-143.adsl.net.t-com.hr. any of us?
[18:26:54] <alex_joni> hr is croatia
[18:28:13] <cradek> ouch, these were triggered by that .hr using cvs as anon
[18:28:33] <jmkasunich> he committed?
[18:28:53] <cradek> no, anon cannot write to anything
[18:29:01] <cradek> but something he did fooled cvs into writing a log entry
[18:29:02] <alex_joni> he probably imported the sources to his PC
[18:29:07] <alex_joni> lol
[18:30:27] <jmkasunich> so, anon _can_ write something... if only to the log
[18:31:01] <jmkasunich> is it possible that anon can create a new dir (maybe even owned by anon) even if he can
[18:31:03] <jmkasunich> can
[18:31:05] <jmkasunich> dammit
[18:31:11] <jmkasunich> can't write to existing files
[18:31:29] <jmkasunich> that damn ' gets me every time, I hit enter instead
[18:31:45] <cradek> no, I just checked permissions on everything again
[18:32:05] <jmkasunich> so theres no new directories lurking in strange places?
[18:32:08] <alex_joni> it's right next to enter here too... :)
[18:32:19] <alex_joni> öä'
[18:34:01] <cradek> jmkasunich: everything looks fine
[18:34:03] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> same here, ' is located in the corner of the upper flange that comes out
[18:34:44] <cradek> I bet it's just someone who doesn't know how to use cvs triggering a mail bug
[18:35:19] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> still, IMO anon shouldn't be able to do anything but read
[18:35:26] <cradek> he can't
[18:35:33] <cradek> well he can't write
[18:35:46] <cradek> but I guess other things generate log data and my script didn't handle it right
[18:35:50] <cradek> I'm fixing it
[18:42:01] <Lerneaen_Hydra2> oh, ok
[18:57:08] <cradek> ok fixed (?)
[18:57:10] <cradek> back on topic
[18:57:18] <cradek> should I merge this stuff?
[18:57:45] <alex_joni> yup
[18:57:54] <alex_joni> we already don't advice people to use HEAD
[18:57:58] <alex_joni> so I see no reason ;)
[19:01:30] <jmkasunich> putting it in HEAD is a better way to find out if you broke milling
[19:01:33] <cradek> man cvs
[19:01:44] <cradek> err
[19:02:36] <alex_joni> no entry found
[19:03:04] <cradek> trying to remember how to do that
[19:03:27] <alex_joni> do what?
[19:03:48] <cradek> do the thing where all changes that went on a branch since its start get merged into head
[19:04:40] <alex_joni> oh, that's some checking out of head, and then commit -jBRANCH something
[19:05:43] <cradek> cvs up -A; cvs up -jbranch
[19:05:45] <cradek> maybe?
[19:05:56] <alex_joni> something like that, but I'm no expert by all means
[19:05:58] <jmkasunich> * jmkasunich looks for his cvsboodk
[19:05:59] <cradek> I'll try it
[19:06:46] <alex_joni> http://www.psc.edu/~semke/cvs_branches.html
[19:07:03] <alex_joni> cradek: that's it
[19:07:08] <cradek> retrieving revision 1.29
[19:07:08] <cradek> retrieving revision 1.29.2.5
[19:07:08] <cradek> Merging differences between 1.29 and 1.29.2.5 into interp_convert.cc
[19:07:14] <cradek> yes looks right
[19:07:21] <alex_joni> then all you do next is cvs commit..
[19:08:24] <jmkasunich> no, what you do next is compile (from make clean probably) and do a basic test or two ;-)
[19:08:57] <alex_joni> jmkasunich: that's selfunderstood
[19:09:00] <jmkasunich> did you create any new files in the branch?
[19:09:16] <cradek> maybe one (the test nc file)
[19:09:18] <jmkasunich> if I read that page correctly, they might not get copied over to the head
[19:09:30] <jmkasunich> easy to check
[19:10:00] <cradek> U nc_files/lathecomp.ngc
[19:10:05] <cradek> it did get it
[19:10:11] <jmkasunich> cool
[20:22:31] <cradek> hmm, I've just made HEAD incompatible with AXIS
[20:22:53] <alex_joni> heh :D
[20:22:59] <cradek> I guess I'll check in those changes too
[20:23:16] <cradek> but its going to break compatibility with everything else (2.0.x, bdi4emc)
[20:23:16] <jepler> yay/boo
[20:23:30] <alex_joni> yah boo
[20:23:37] <jepler> that's why I was saying we needed a way to check for the emc2 version in the preprocessor
[20:23:41] <alex_joni> sounds kinda familiar :D
[20:24:16] <cradek> #define PACKAGE_VERSION "Prerelease CVS HEAD"
[20:24:22] <cradek> pretty useless
[20:24:49] <cradek> jepler: should I commit?
[20:25:48] <jepler> * jepler waffles
[20:25:55] <alex_joni> waffles? wot's that?
[20:26:10] <cradek> loses resolve and can no longer decide
[20:26:29] <jepler> hesitate: pause or hold back in uncertainty or unwillingness; "Authorities hesitate to quote exact figures"
[20:26:29] <alex_joni> resolve?
[20:26:49] <alex_joni> I know what hesitate means
[20:27:19] <jepler> your resolve to do something is how determined you are to do it
[20:27:28] <jepler> as opposed to having doubts about it
[20:27:41] <alex_joni> jepler: ty, that's very concise
[20:27:49] <cradek> yes, having resolve is being sure and determined
[20:28:10] <cradek> sorry I'm bad at defining things
[20:28:32] <alex_joni> never heard resolve as a noun before..
[20:29:25] <jepler> cradek: I think I don't want to break axis for everyone but emc2 bleeding-edgers
[20:29:41] <jepler> cradek: but once there's a way to coonditionally enable the code , do it
[20:31:31] <cradek> maybe we should just branch 1.4 for emc 2.0.x and let the heads track
[20:34:38] <cradek> I say that because I think there will be more changes for lathe, and I don't think we should screw with conditional compilation for all of it
[20:35:10] <jepler> but that means axis post-1.4 would be emc2 2.1 only
[20:35:35] <jepler> the other reason to branch for 1.4 would be because I want to release it someday, and should stop putting new features in...
[20:36:10] <cradek> well head already has stuff that isn't for 2.0.x (jogwheel/halcmd)
[20:36:27] <jmkasunich> "axis post-1.4 would be emc2 2.1 only"
[20:36:30] <jmkasunich> * jmkasunich nods
[20:36:31] <cradek> so it should have been branched already
[20:36:51] <jepler> cradek: but I don't think it's incompatible
[20:37:08] <cradek> ok I see
[20:37:38] <jepler> maybe it is -- it's not like I've tested it
[20:37:46] <cradek> but I'm still with jmk on this
[20:38:42] <cradek> and let it be known I don't want to wait two years to release emc 2.1, I think it's coming up.
[20:38:50] <jepler> * jepler hmms
[20:39:23] <alex_joni> september
[20:39:29] <jepler> why september?
[20:39:39] <alex_joni> I heard it's a nice month
[20:39:49] <cradek> haha
[20:40:16] <alex_joni> jepler: not wanting to be a smart-ass.. but I think we kinda chose that randomly
[20:40:20] <jmkasunich> sept was what alex and I came up with when we put some of the 2.1 tasks into SF
[20:40:39] <alex_joni> http://sourceforge.net/pm/task.php?group_id=6744&set=custom&group_project_id=46285&_assigned_to=100&_status=1&SUBMIT=Browse
[20:41:13] <jmkasunich> heh, should add lathe stuff to that so cradek can close them
[20:41:14] <alex_joni> the actual release will be 15 oct according to that
[20:41:17] <alex_joni> right
[20:41:30] <jmkasunich> right, feature freeze and test starting in sept
[20:41:42] <cradek> I guess I didn't look at those
[20:41:59] <cradek> I don't even know what some of them mean
[20:42:14] <alex_joni> jepler: guess I/we thought it would be ok to go with ubuntu release cycles
[20:42:48] <alex_joni> cradek: by all means, feel free to adjust/modify/add/remove tasks :D
[20:43:07] <jmkasunich> well, remove should mean they're done, or we decided as a group not to do that
[20:43:39] <alex_joni> ok, then remove after asking around :D
[20:44:56] <alex_joni> oh.. the last list I pasted was for unassigned tasks
[20:45:01] <alex_joni> chose Any to see the whole list
[21:08:27] <alex_joni> night all
[21:10:03] <SWPadnos> see you Alex
[22:23:55] <lilo> [Global Notice] Hi all. As you are aware, we experienced an episode some hours ago in which a staff password was sniffed or cracked.
