07:37 AM jepler: cradek: I think it's time to turn off the e-mails from glo to -commit
10:58 AM cradek: jepler: ok
11:01 AM cradek: done
11:05 AM jepler: thanks
11:06 AM jepler: now as far as I know we're waiting for the arbitrary one week I promised, and the rest of the stuff is just clicking in github
11:06 AM jepler: well, I guess I can't turn off pushing to glo that way
11:06 AM jepler: cradek: will you be able to do that on monday at an agreed time?

11:48 AM seb_kuzminsky: jepler, if you want to make a new iso that has the buildbot deb archive disabled, you can now
12:01 PM pcw_mesa_ is now known as pcw_mesa
12:16 PM jepler: seb_kuzminsky: ooh good point
12:17 PM jepler: seb_kuzminsky: thanks for 2.7.10!
12:17 PM jepler: it's the highest numbered release ever of linuxcnc
12:20 PM jepler: Get:161 http://linuxcnc.org stretch/2.7-uspace i386 linuxcnc-uspace i386 1:2.7.10 [3695 kB]
01:05 PM skunkworks_: does anyone know of a user interface on linux to program nfc tags?
01:06 PM skunkworks_: There seems to be a lot of nfc libraries - but no one seems to have created a user friendly interface
01:33 PM jepler: -r7 images uploading, ETA sub 5 minutes
01:34 PM seb_kuzminsky: thanks!
01:36 PM jepler: .. I didn't test these at all before uploading them
01:36 PM jepler: the only change on my end is sources.list, but occasionally changes to upstream files from debian (like the installer files) have caused troubles, so if someone else has a chance to kick the tires it would be nice
01:37 PM jepler: OK files are up!
01:38 PM jepler: if this one looks OK I'll craft an announcement for at least the -devel list, maybe both
01:46 PM seb_kuzminsky: awesome
01:50 PM jepler: http://www.linuxcnc.org/testing-stretch-rtpreempt/ if you misplaced the URL
01:50 PM jepler: afk
01:55 PM skunkworks_: jepler, did you add qcalculator?
02:24 PM seb_kuzminsky: zsync is kind of magic
02:27 PM seb_kuzminsky: i like that it doesn't ask for a root password, sudo is better
04:03 PM seb_kuzminsky: jepler: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linuxcnc.list looks right, but /etc/apt/sources.list.d/base.list shouldn't be there, should it?
04:04 PM seb_kuzminsky: that apt source is already in /etc/apt/sources.list
04:06 PM seb_kuzminsky: but linuxcnc 2.7.10 is installed and runs, so that's nice
06:44 PM jepler: skunkworks_: no, I forgot
06:44 PM jepler: seb_kuzminsky: hmm not sure about base.list, maybe it can be removed
06:45 PM jepler: skunkworks_: galculator I assume you mena
06:46 PM jepler: seb_kuzminsky: looks like base.list may be something live-wrapper leaves around, not sure yet
06:46 PM jepler: I create updates.list and linuxcnc.list
06:47 PM jepler: skunkworks_: adding it so I won't forget, but not doing a new image right now
06:53 PM skunkworks_: jepler, thanks@
06:53 PM skunkworks_: !
06:54 PM skunkworks_: jepler, actually it was Qalculate
07:08 PM jepler: that pulls in 32MB more, is it better than galculator which pulls in just 1.5MB ?
07:20 PM skunkworks_: galculator.. sorry
07:21 PM skunkworks_: I had installed a bunch - that was the one I liked that you recomended.
07:26 PM pcw_mesa: I kind of like SpeedCrunch
07:29 PM skunkworks_: jeeze - how did I turn on screen panning
07:30 PM jepler: speedcrunch pulls in 5.5MB
07:30 PM jepler: it doesn't look much like a calculator
07:32 PM jepler: bizarre, it accepts both "," and "." as the fraction separator, so atan2(0,1) gives a bizarre result close to 0.99
07:32 PM jepler: er, 0.09
07:32 PM jepler: er, arctan2
07:33 PM jepler: I bet it's great for a more technical person who takes the time to configure and learn it, but I think a better goal is to put a basic but easy to use calculator on
07:34 PM pcw_mesa: you can set the radix char
07:36 PM pcw_mesa: yeah i like it because it keeps a long history has hex binary and octal result formats
07:36 PM pcw_mesa: but it not a normal calculator
07:46 PM cradek: jepler: sure
07:48 PM jepler: feedback on http://media.unpythonic.net/stretch-announce-draft.txt welcome -- going AFK soon but I'll read back.
07:51 PM skunkworks_: jeeze alt+ 2 fingers on the mouse pad..
07:51 PM skunkworks_: sully is magical when in front of a computer..
07:54 PM skunkworks_: jepler, what about nativecam?
07:55 PM skunkworks_: (I don't know much about it - but I thought there was a package now for it)
08:31 PM MrHindsight is now known as CaptHindsight
09:12 PM seb_kuzminsky: skunkworks_: the linuxcnc side of it is in (since 2.7.9), dgarr's "auxillary apps" support
09:13 PM seb_kuzminsky: nativecam is its own package, but last time i spoke to fernv (the main developer) he said he had some more work to do before it was ready to distribute
09:13 PM seb_kuzminsky: pycam might be ready to include on the iso...
09:14 PM seb_kuzminsky: jepler: i think it doesn't hurt much if base.list is there, it's maybe just a little confusing to have the apt source twice
09:50 PM skunkworks_: what about freecad?
09:51 PM skunkworks_: slippery slope!
09:54 PM jepler: skunkworks_: yeah I suspect if you are going to use your linuxcnc box as a general purpose computer you'll have a network connection and can install packages later .. but who konws
09:55 PM skunkworks_: :)
10:50 PM Tom_itx is now known as Tom_L
11:00 PM cradek: wow, my name's not on this release! I can retire!
