pinchartl: <u>eballetbo</u>: indeed
<br> <u>mchehab</u>: have you rebased the media_tree ?
mchehab: no
pinchartl: weird...
<br> I have 322474f64b5ff6b9a0fa05ad632c75ca5e526fcc in my local tree
mchehab: but yeah, one of your trees and one of sailus one have missing changesets
pinchartl: it points to "[media] m88ds3103: use own reg update_bits() implementation"
<br> so it's hardly one of my patches
<br> I got it from upstream somewhere
<br> and it's not in any branch or tag
mchehab: /git/pinchartl/media.git
<br> Fetching origin
<br> From /git/media_tree
<br> * branch HEAD -> FETCH_HEAD

<br> <u>error</u>: failed to run repack
<br> I was unable to find those two changesets, even on my local tree
<br> if you push 322474f64b5ff6b9a0fa05ad632c75ca5e526fcc on some branch, I can add a tag for it at media_tree
pinchartl: I have 322474f64b5ff6b9a0fa05ad632c75ca5e526fcc in my tree but it's not part of any of my branches
<br> so I'd rather remove the branch on linuxtv.org that contains 322474f64b5ff6b9a0fa05ad632c75ca5e526fcc
mchehab: well, create a branch or a tag and push it
<br> the object should be sent upstream, fixing the breakage
pinchartl: doing it right now
<br> and fetched
<br> git branch -a --contains should now help
<br> fixed
<br> the commit came from git://linuxtv.org/mchehab/media-next.git
mchehab: ah
<br> media-next *is* rebased
<br> for every new Kernel version
pinchartl: that seems reasonable to me, but then it shouldn't be used as a reference for the linuxtv.org trees
mchehab: it is not a reference tree
<br> it is a merge tree
<br> btw, rebasing the media-next was recommended by the linux-next maintainer
pinchartl: that's not an issue at all
<br> 322474f64b5ff6b9a0fa05ad632c75ca5e526fcc ended up in my local tree
<br> in a branch
<br> I've pushed that branch to my linuxtv.org repository
mchehab: ok
pinchartl: and at some later point the object disappeared
mchehab: I added a old/cs_322474f64b5f at the master tree
pinchartl: which I assume means that it was never stored in my linuxtv.org tree
mchehab: <u>pinchartl</u>: there are some scripts at the server that helps to avoid the trees to grow forever
<br> doing git gc --aggressive
<br> on all trees
<br> once by month
pinchartl: the object was reachable from a branch so gc shouldn't be a problem
mchehab: and git gc once by day
pinchartl: the problem is that the object was stored in a referenced tree and got dropped from it
<br> we now it was in one of your -next branches
mchehab: maybe you cloned your tree from media-next
<br> it uses the tree you clone as the reference object tree
pinchartl: no, my tree is cloned from mainline
<br> with git://linuxtv.org/media_tree.git added as a reference
mchehab: no
<br> $ more objects/info/alternates
<br> /git/linux.git/objects
<br> /git/media_tree.git/objects
<br> it is not using linux-next as alternates for objects
pinchartl: 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 ?
<br> s/it guess/a guess/
mchehab: sailus tree is still broken:
<br> $ sudo git gc
<br> <u>error</u>: Could not read 5ea878796f0a1d9649fe43a6a09df53d3915c0ef
<br> <u>fatal</u>: Failed to traverse parents of commit ee912d2b7910796ee0a9c22d2cde1e339bfabd3d
<br> <u>error</u>: failed to run repack
pinchartl: I have 5ea878796f0a1d9649fe43a6a09df53d3915c0ef in my tree ;-)
mchehab: <u>pinchartl</u>: no, I don't think I ever pushed -next to media_tree
<br> ok, good
<br> I'll use it to fix sailus tree then
<br> hmm... you didn't push it
pinchartl: I meant my local tree
mchehab: could you please push it on some branch or tag?
pinchartl: it comes from your -experimental tree
mchehab: ah
<br> I probably don't have it there anymore, I guess
<br> at least I ran an script yesterday trying to find some missing changesets
pinchartl: but why didn't it get pushed to Sakari's tree in the first place ?
mchehab: no idea
pinchartl: pushed to tree-fix
mchehab: thanks!
pinchartl: I don't think that adding old/* tags is the best fix though
<br> as you'll need to keep them forever
<br> the required objects should be pushed to the trees that need it instead
***: _daniel_1 changes his alias to _daniel_
pinchartl: 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
<br> otherwise my tree will lose the object as it's present in master
mchehab: yes, those old/cs_* should be there forever
<br> btw, sailus tree failed again, with another changeset: 5ea878796f0a1d9649fe43a6a09df53d3915c0ef
pinchartl: that's the same one
mchehab: oh, yes... weird
<br> ed763ecbeff9b84c9208cdc27076522db0d24c1f
<br> that's the next missing changeset on sailus tree
pinchartl: Sakari should push the missing objects to his tree
<br> there's no point in storing them to master
***: Você changes his alias to mchehab
sailus: mchehab, pinchartl: Thanks for the info. I need to leave now but I'll check that later today.
julius: 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?
pinchartl: <u>julius</u>: disabling auto-exposure and lowering the exposure time could help, but the images will be darker
***: headless_ changes his alias to headless
julius: so whats a sure thing to buy for linux as webcam at 20?/$ ?
<br> the uvc listing shows quite a lot of cameras...but no prices
pinchartl: that's because we write free software, we don't care about prices ;-)
larsc: <u>pinchartl</u>: so if I send you a TODO list you'll implement it free of charge, did I get that right? ;)
pinchartl: <u>larsc</u>: sure, but remember that as the price tends towards zero the amount of time tends towards infinity :-)
