eballetbo: indeed mchehab: have you rebased the media_tree ? no weird... I have 322474f64b5ff6b9a0fa05ad632c75ca5e526fcc in my local tree but yeah, one of your trees and one of sailus one have missing changesets it points to "[media] m88ds3103: use own reg update_bits() implementation" so it's hardly one of my patches I got it from upstream somewhere and it's not in any branch or tag /git/pinchartl/media.git Fetching origin From /git/media_tree * branch HEAD -> FETCH_HEAD error: Could not read 322474f64b5ff6b9a0fa05ad632c75ca5e526fcc fatal: Failed to traverse parents of commit 8132ccfb864a43e391a803caf69b3807c3bb4249 error: failed to run repack /git/sailus/media_tree.git error: Could not read 5ea878796f0a1d9649fe43a6a09df53d3915c0ef fatal: Failed to traverse parents of commit ee912d2b7910796ee0a9c22d2cde1e339bfabd3d error: failed to run repack I was unable to find those two changesets, even on my local tree if you push 322474f64b5ff6b9a0fa05ad632c75ca5e526fcc on some branch, I can add a tag for it at media_tree I have 322474f64b5ff6b9a0fa05ad632c75ca5e526fcc in my tree but it's not part of any of my branches so I'd rather remove the branch on linuxtv.org that contains 322474f64b5ff6b9a0fa05ad632c75ca5e526fcc well, create a branch or a tag and push it the object should be sent upstream, fixing the breakage doing it right now and fetched git branch -a --contains should now help fixed the commit came from git://linuxtv.org/mchehab/media-next.git ah media-next *is* rebased for every new Kernel version that seems reasonable to me, but then it shouldn't be used as a reference for the linuxtv.org trees it is not a reference tree it is a merge tree btw, rebasing the media-next was recommended by the linux-next maintainer that's not an issue at all 322474f64b5ff6b9a0fa05ad632c75ca5e526fcc ended up in my local tree in a branch I've pushed that branch to my linuxtv.org repository ok and at some later point the object disappeared I added a old/cs_322474f64b5f at the master tree which I assume means that it was never stored in my linuxtv.org tree pinchartl: there are some scripts at the server that helps to avoid the trees to grow forever doing git gc --aggressive on all trees once by month the object was reachable from a branch so gc shouldn't be a problem and git gc once by day the problem is that the object was stored in a referenced tree and got dropped from it we now it was in one of your -next branches maybe you cloned your tree from media-next it uses the tree you clone as the reference object tree no, my tree is cloned from mainline with git://linuxtv.org/media_tree.git added as a reference no $ more objects/info/alternates /git/linux.git/objects /git/media_tree.git/objects it is not using linux-next as alternates for objects just it guess, could it be that you pushed the -next branch that contains 322474f64b5ff6b9a0fa05ad632c75ca5e526fcc to git://linuxtv.org/media_tree.git by mistake at some point and then removed it ? s/it guess/a guess/ sailus tree is still broken: $ sudo git gc error: Could not read 5ea878796f0a1d9649fe43a6a09df53d3915c0ef fatal: Failed to traverse parents of commit ee912d2b7910796ee0a9c22d2cde1e339bfabd3d error: failed to run repack I have 5ea878796f0a1d9649fe43a6a09df53d3915c0ef in my tree ;-) pinchartl: no, I don't think I ever pushed -next to media_tree ok, good I'll use it to fix sailus tree then hmm... you didn't push it I meant my local tree could you please push it on some branch or tag? it comes from your -experimental tree ah I probably don't have it there anymore, I guess at least I ran an script yesterday trying to find some missing changesets but why didn't it get pushed to Sakari's tree in the first place ? no idea pushed to tree-fix thanks! I don't think that adding old/* tags is the best fix though as you'll need to keep them forever the required objects should be pushed to the trees that need it instead now that you've pushed old/cs_322474f64b5f you can't remove it anymore unless you git gc on master before doing it on my tree otherwise my tree will lose the object as it's present in master yes, those old/cs_* should be there forever btw, sailus tree failed again, with another changeset: 5ea878796f0a1d9649fe43a6a09df53d3915c0ef that's the same one oh, yes... weird ed763ecbeff9b84c9208cdc27076522db0d24c1f that's the next missing changeset on sailus tree Sakari should push the missing objects to his tree there's no point in storing them to master mchehab, pinchartl: Thanks for the info. I need to leave now but I'll check that later today. tested two video cameras just now, they both did around ~10fps. on debian stable and sid. theres probably no magic switch to make that 30? julius: disabling auto-exposure and lowering the exposure time could help, but the images will be darker so whats a sure thing to buy for linux as webcam at 20?/$ ? the uvc listing shows quite a lot of cameras...but no prices that's because we write free software, we don't care about prices ;-) pinchartl: so if I send you a TODO list you'll implement it free of charge, did I get that right? ;) larsc: sure, but remember that as the price tends towards zero the amount of time tends towards infinity :-)
