[07:59] <smoser> cirros 0.3.2 released
[08:16] <harmw> coool
[12:51] <harmw> argh, smoser what's the url for the latest kernel image? (and how the hell do I get it myself)
[14:42] <harmw> and isn't there a virtual flavor of 3.13 kernel?
[16:06] <smoser> harmw, its -generic now.
[16:06] <smoser> there is still a virtual, but it depends on the -generic
[16:10] <harmw> the package is called -generic now? (and -virtual is gone, as a file)
[16:10] <smoser> i gave you info on this man.
[16:11] <smoser> http://paste.ubuntu.com/7069858/
[16:12] <harmw> yup, but 0.3.2 still uses flav=virtual
[16:12] <smoser> right. it uses precise kernel.
[16:12] <harmw> but if it's -generic now, thats just fine
[16:13] <smoser> so they just changd how the packaging is done.
[16:13] <harmw> ok
[16:13] <smoser> previously, there was a '-virtual' which actually confliced with '-generic'
[16:13] <smoser> now there is a -virtual , which depends on -generic
[16:13] <harmw> aha
[16:13] <smoser> er... something like that
[16:13] <harmw> yea well :)
[16:13] <smoser> and then something also depends on -extra-drivers
[16:13] <smoser> so most users will get the virtual kernel +_ the extra stuff

[18:36] <harmw> damn, cirros-status should show the running kernel
[18:39] <smoser> :)
[18:39] <smoser> it should. you're right.
[18:39] <smoser> i think we should branch 0.3
[18:39] <smoser> and start 0.4
[18:40] <harmw> ok, and wht will those 2 focus on?
[18:42] <harmw> we could branch 0.3 and merge my buildroot+kernel update stuff with that?
[18:43] <harmw> keep 0.2 the current supported version, but what should 0.4 aim for?
[18:50] <smoser> 0.3.x is "stable"
[18:51] <smoser> 0.4 is buildroot+kernel+mdev+ppc64+world-domination
[19:00] <harmw> uhm right :| obviously
[19:00] <harmw> somewhere my mind came up with 0.2 as beeing current :|
[19:06] <harmw> I'd say make it happen smoser :)
[19:07] <smoser> yeah. so i'd take your 'uname' info for 0.3.X, and i'd like to hvae the fix for more generic dhclient stuff there too. specifically for mtu.
[19:07] <smoser> as it seems that can completely block usage
[19:07] <harmw> agreed
[19:08] <smoser> altough i guess you could send config-drive user-data to run ifconfig
[19:08] <smoser> and fix it
[19:15] <harmw> smoser: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7115837/
[19:16] <smoser> :)
[19:34] <harmw> smoser: bin/build-release deletes the raw image, could you please not do that?
[19:35] <smoser> why? whats in it?
[19:36] <harmw> I'm uploading just that to openstack
[19:37] <harmw> rather pointless i manually convert back to raw with qemu-img :)
[19:37] <harmw> plus, could you include this to support Hyper-V vm's? (despite the inner workings not beeing in place just yet)
[19:38] <harmw> qemu-img convert -O vpc cirros-0.3.2-pre1-x86_64-rev309.raw cirros.vhd
[22:06] <harmw> smoser: you should update the Changelog as well
[22:06] <harmw> since r307
[23:17] <smoser> harmw, i admit that part of me doing qcow is to try to teach the world to stop being stupid.
[23:17] <smoser> providing 'raw' does not help with that.
[23:18] <smoser> i dont really care what layout a hypervisor uses to represent a disk as its being used.
[23:18] <smoser> but qcow2 is an open def-facto standard that provides both sparseness and compression.
