#linuxcnc-devel Logs

Nov 04 2021

01:04 AM pere: seb_kuzminsky: I just run 'debian/configure; debuild'
02:41 AM pere: seb_kuzminsky: looking at the getting starting pdf 'getting help' section, it occured to me that it could use a reference to <URL: http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html >.
09:50 AM seb_kuzminsky: heads up y'all: pere and smoe and i just renamed all our docs source files from '.txt' to '.adoc'. The built, user-facing docs are not changed in any way (i think/hope)
09:53 AM seb_kuzminsky: anyone working on docs in their local branches will need to rebase onto master and switch to this new file naming scheme. this might affect Luz Paz, Phillip Carter, Greg Carl, Chris Morley, and maybe others
10:01 AM seb_kuzminsky: and if anyone notices any breakage in the docs that we missed, please let us know...
10:02 AM seb_kuzminsky: one of the benefits is prettier rendering of doc sources in github, like this: https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master/docs/src/config/ini-config.adoc
10:49 AM pere: seb_kuzminsky: very good. Updated <URL: https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/pull/1346 > just now.
10:51 AM pere: seb_kuzminsky: I suspect <URL: https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/pull/1291 > is ready to go in.
10:57 AM pere: seb_kuzminsky: I also suspect <URL: https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/pull/1327 > is ready after a quick rebase.
01:04 PM seb_kuzminsky: merged #1346
01:24 PM pere: hurra. what about 1291?
01:34 PM seb_kuzminsky: smoe just updated it, it's building, if that's all green i'll click merge (we'll know in like 15 minutes)
01:35 PM seb_kuzminsky: i've got a small fix for the vietnamese docs filenames ("vi" means virgin islands, "vn" means vietnam)
01:35 PM seb_kuzminsky: but i'll wait with that until after 1327 (the dh_install thing)
01:59 PM pere: smoe: hi. :)
01:59 PM smoe: Hi!
02:01 PM pere: smoe: look like seb_kuzminsky is merging a lot today. :)
02:02 PM pere: seb_kuzminsky: both #1291 and #1327 testing succeeded.
02:03 PM pere: smoe: #1354 seem to be based on #1291, not master.
02:04 PM smoe: Aaaaaargh! Thanks. That explains a bit.
02:15 PM smoe: seb_kuzminsky: Fixed #1354 (reset and redo)
02:21 PM smoe: Is there a table anywhere on latencies and the variation of these latencies under well-defined loads?
03:06 PM seb_kuzminsky: aww, i just missed smoe
03:07 PM seb_kuzminsky: there's not a table of known latencies on different hardware under different software loads
03:08 PM seb_kuzminsky: we have occasionally tried to record worst-case latencies on different hardware: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Latency-Test
03:08 PM seb_kuzminsky: it's all pretty haphazard and out of date
03:09 PM CaptHindsight[m]: the latest attempt https://forum.linuxcnc.org/18-computer/39371-results-of-latency-test-list-of-computers-tested-for-use-with-linuxcnc
03:26 PM seb_kuzminsky: ooh, nice, thanks!!
06:24 PM pere: seb_kuzminsky: smoe is back. :)
06:24 PM smoe: Well, not really.
06:25 PM smoe: Need to get up in 4h again.
06:25 PM smoe: Musk's life - just without the money.
06:26 PM smoe: These renames of documentation do not go well with our install instructions. But i think I got them now.
06:29 PM pere: smoe: small typo in <URL: https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/pull/1327/files >: "False posiitive"
06:30 PM pere: smoe: I noticed you removed the d/rules get-orig-source target. Was this intentional?
06:30 PM smoe: Hm. Think so. For me this is uscan.
06:30 PM pere: for me too. good.
06:31 PM smoe: Thee faalsee poositiivee eerroor I'll leave for Seb (please!) everything else will just trigger another rebuild.
06:32 PM smoe: seb_kuzminsky - this is a comment in the lintian overrides
06:33 PM smoe: Good night everyone!
06:43 PM pere: seb_kuzminsky: look like #1327 is ready to go too.
06:58 PM pere: we can fix the appstream-metadata-missing-modalias-provide lintian issue later. :)
08:41 PM -!- #linuxcnc-devel mode set to +v by ChanServ
09:54 PM Tom_L: i'm guessing this is a NO but i'll ask. can you do math on ini settings?
09:54 PM Tom_L: example: STEPGEN_MAXACCEL = (MAX_ACCEL *1.25)
09:55 PM Tom_L: as long as MAX_ACCEL preceeds STEPGEN_MAXACCEL in the file?
