ray_laptop marcosw: is there something different about the valgrind build? I notice that the fuzzing files are all running valgrind/bin/gs04:21.40 
mvrhel_laptop Robin_Watts: for the logs. I *really* like the Test file fetcher04:31.38 
marcosw ray_laptop: for the logs: no, it's just the normal debug build, I can't recall why I moved it to a different directory.06:08.39 
pipitas quick question about the new commandline switch featured in Git docu "—saved-page=…" 12:02.49 
  Will this also be supported by pdfwrite?12:03.04 
chrisl No12:03.24 
pipitas chrisl: Why? Too difficult to implement, or deemed "not useful"?12:05.24 
kens pdfwrite doesn't use the clist12:06.00 
chrisl saved page relies on page clists, and pdfwrite doesn't/can't use page clists12:06.02 
pipitas kens: "clist" is? "command list" ?12:06.34 
chrisl Besides, as kens regularly points out, pdfwrite is *not* a manipulation tool, it's a conversion tool12:07.16 
kens yes clist is command list12:07.45 
pipitas chrisl: the difference between conversion and manipulation is not necessarily a sharp one. Unless you reserve conversion to only "PS <-> PDF" transformations...12:08.56 
chrisl "Conversion" implies an accurate representation of the input, "manipulation" implies output that does not accurately reflect the input12:09.55 
kens That's basically all pdfwrite is intended to do12:09.56 
pipitas chrisl: OK, your definition of the differences convinces me :)12:11.05 
chrisl With a bit of effort, and if you can accept a multi-step process, you could implement something like saved-page with pdfwrite.12:14.05 
Robin_Watts pipitas: With a manipulation tool, you expect a file to be opened and "manipulated" (i.e. that what you get out is basically a manipulated version of the input file).12:15.44 
  With a conversion tool, you expect a file to be opened, broken down into it's constituent parts, and a new file to be formed from (some or all of) those parts12:16.19 
  Thus pdfwrite is a conversion tool.12:16.35 
pipitas chrisl: I know how to use pdfwrite to implement s.th. like saved-pages in multiple steps. I was just hoping for it to become easier and single-step...12:22.03 
kens clist is fundamentally incompatible with pdfwrite, it operates at too primitive a level12:22.30 
  Robin_Watts : don't know if you're interested but I tried the 'test files' interface with this filename:12:53.18 
  tests_private/comparefiles/Bug687674.pdf12:53.18 
  and it said 'Non existent file'. A previous fetch of a different file did work though12:53.38 
  Well, I've just received a package from Virgin wiht a new luggage label and stuff, saying I'm silver again. Bemused.....13:17.12 
chrisl Me too, and it's only about 8 weeks since the non-Silver card arrived........13:18.00 
Robin_Watts So BT arrived, fiddled for a bit, declared it fixed. An hour later - back to being broken again.14:41.34 
kens Pretty typical in my experience14:41.59 
Robin_Watts Call eclipse - they can't do anything until BT put their report in, which won't be til later today.14:43.23 
kens Perfect14:43.36 
Robin_Watts and it will probably require another engineer to call, which won't be until friday at least, going by previous experience.14:44.25 
kens I suggest locking him until its been working for a few hours14:44.47 
tor7 paulgardiner: feel free to push the 4 patches on paul/master if you're happy with them.14:45.10 
paulgardiner tor7: Oh glad you said that: I already did! :-)14:45.38 
tor7 paulgardiner: ah, so you did! :)14:46.23 
paulgardiner I thought it would be okay. All the changes from what you'd already seen were your suggestions14:46.27 
  Thanks for checking it over14:46.38 
Robin_Watts_ Back on the 3G dongle :(15:37.41 
mvrhel_laptop darn the file fetcher is not working for me now robin_Watts_mac16:18.44 
Robin_Watts mvrhel_laptop: No, I'm working on it.16:18.53 
  Hold on...16:18.55 
mvrhel_laptop oh ok16:18.59 
Robin_Watts ok, that should be back to working as it did before now.16:19.53 
  kens pointed out that it doesn't work for all files.16:20.15 
  This turns out to be because of permissions.16:20.21 
  I need to tweak it to work around that.16:20.29 
mvrhel_laptop oh ok16:20.36 
Robin_Watts but I'll work on svnfetch2.cgi so you can keep using the existing one for now.16:20.45 
kens Ah,didn't realise that was the problem16:20.49 
Robin_Watts kens: nor did I :(16:20.57 
mvrhel_laptop ok I can't get this file name right16:21.34 
Robin_Watts mvrhel_laptop: What file?16:21.47 
mvrhel_laptop tests_private/fuzzing/794.pdf.asan.77.310616:22.31 
  I think that is the name16:22.42 
  it is for bug 69416116:22.52 
  any chance you could make the name box a little bigger16:23.08 
  ?16:23.10 
Robin_Watts tests_private/fuzzing/3794.pdf.asan.77.3106 ?16:23.18 
mvrhel_laptop ugh16:23.29 
Robin_Watts mvrhel_laptop: Let me see...16:23.52 
mvrhel_laptop that name does not work for me either :(16:24.07 
Robin_Watts Non-existent file?16:24.16 
mvrhel_laptop yes16:24.20 
Robin_Watts That's probably the problem I am trying to solve now.16:24.24 
mvrhel_laptop oh ok16:24.32 
Robin_Watts You can grab it from peeves in the meantime.16:24.33 
  Sorry.16:24.35 
mvrhel_laptop I will grab it from peeves16:24.37 
  yes16:24.39 
  np16:24.40 
  thanks for getting this working Robin_Watts16:24.46 
Robin_Watts Ok, input field is larger now.16:25.25 
mvrhel_laptop ah much better16:25.41 
  ugh16:33.54 
  so I dont see a fuzzing directory in /home/regression/tests_private16:34.26 
  on peeves16:34.30 
  I thought ray had told me he gets his from there16:34.41 
  at least that is what it shows in the logs from yesterday16:34.57 
  his ears must of been burning16:35.07 
  hi ray_laptop16:35.17 
Robin_Watts /home/marcos/cluster/tests_private/fuzzing/3794.pdf.asan.77.310616:35.26 
  mvrhel_laptop: There is a lovely command on linux called locate.16:35.38 
mvrhel_laptop ah ok16:35.41 
  well someone told me yesterday the above path16:35.51 
Robin_Watts "locate blah" will list all the files on the system that have 'blah' in the path.16:35.57 
  I find it very useful when looking for test files :)16:36.13 
mvrhel_laptop yes16:36.13 
  peeves is painfully slow16:36.23 
Robin_Watts downloading from peeves? yes.16:36.33 
mvrhel_laptop ray_laptop: did you see the email from michael chang?16:38.56 
  perhaps they need http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=ghostpdl.git;a=commit;h=c27113ab96a8010b59652bde975eec68865aebb5 ?16:40.00 
  and http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=ghostpdl.git;a=commit;h=0442ce0c95ffb9a33eba5c2303172e029883f2fb 16:40.44 
  I don't know where they are though in their release number though16:41.20 
  ray_laptop: you probably want to pull in http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=ghostpdl.git;a=commit;h=f4a1368a6585d20a218acd236d97706401a1b8c1 for them. I was a bit surprised by all that I found with this one16:41.59 
  Robin_Watts: what day are you going to Oahu? I am debating doing something similar to that. 16:44.05 
kens Goodnight all16:44.19 
mvrhel_laptop by kens16:44.30 
Robin_Watts mvrhel_laptop: We fly on sat 30th.16:44.31 
mvrhel_laptop ok16:44.37 
Robin_Watts We arrive on sat 30th at 20:4416:44.56 
  we then spend 3 nights there.16:45.21 
  then we fly to maui and spend 6 nights there.16:45.35 
mvrhel_laptop gotcha. that will be nice16:45.53 
Robin_Watts We are staying in the "Best Western Coconut Waikiki" hotel.16:45.57 
  We've stayed there before.16:46.01 
  Have you been to Waikiki before?16:46.08 
mvrhel_laptop once16:46.11 
  we went about 6 or 7 years ago16:46.25 
Robin_Watts ok, so the hotel we are staying in is NOT on the beach. It's at the back by the canal.16:46.37 
  so about 400 yards away.16:46.44 
mvrhel_laptop ok. I will check it out16:46.52 
Robin_Watts MUCH quieter.16:46.54 
mvrhel_laptop right16:46.57 
Robin_Watts Pool is quite small though, so possibly not so good with kids.16:47.08 
mvrhel_laptop we stayed off of Waikiki when we were there16:47.10 
  a little north16:47.13 
  or not north16:47.17 
  but east16:47.21 
  oh the other side of diamond head16:47.29 
Robin_Watts east = towards diamondhead.16:47.33 
  ah, right.16:47.35 
mvrhel_laptop the hotel had a shuttle to Waikiki16:47.54 
  we may do that again 16:47.59 
Robin_Watts Our plane was delayed by a day coming home, and they put us in a Sheraton (I think) overnight. That was 1 road back from the beach, and was MUCH noisier/busier etc.16:48.19 
mvrhel_laptop ok16:48.31 
  I think this is where we stayed16:49.23 
  http://www.kahalaresort.com/16:49.24 
Robin_Watts 338 rooms. That's a big place. The best western is a much smaller, quieter affair. But we really liked it, so we're going back :)16:50.15 
  looks lovely though.16:50.34 
mvrhel_laptop this was nice but a little pricey. 16:50.41 
  iirc16:50.45 
  it was kid friendly16:50.54 
  and quite16:50.56 
Robin_Watts http://www.jdvhotels.com/hotels/hawaii/coconut-waikiki-hotel16:51.09 
mvrhel_laptop I will show this to stephanie16:51.33 
  thanks16:51.35 
Robin_Watts $150 a night, for the room we have, I think. (mountain view)16:51.58 
mvrhel_laptop that is a good deal16:52.05 
Robin_Watts Executive suite is more like $200, and I think city view is cheaper.16:52.25 
  breakfast is only 'ok' (continental), but there is a dennys 300 yards south :)16:53.37 
mvrhel_laptop plenty to eat there 16:54.34 
Robin_Watts so, I have a setuid C program that runs and calls "whoami" and I get told 'robin'.16:55.13 
  but then when I call the svn cat, I get the permissions problem.16:55.28 
mvrhel_laptop this fuzzing crash is weird17:10.32 
henrys mvrhel_laptop and Robin_Watts : are either of you spending any nights at the westin? I'm debating if I should, if nobody will be there I'm less likely to stay there for the meeting days.17:39.09 
Robin_Watts henrys: Yes, helen and I are there 6 nights.17:39.34 
mvrhel_laptop henrys: we will be staying there for at least 6 nights17:39.50 
Robin_Watts From the 3rd for 6 nights.17:39.52 
  I believe paulgardiner is doing the same.17:40.03 
henrys oh I thought I read you were staying different hotels?17:40.17 
Robin_Watts I think chrisl_away is coming from 3rd to 8th too.17:40.36 
  henrys: I arrive in Honolulu on the 30th and stay 3 nights there.17:40.53 
paulgardiner Yep, me the same, although flight timings a little different17:41.00 
mvrhel_laptop no. I may go to Oahu a few days before the meeting days like Robin_Watts. but will be in Maui no later than the 3rd17:41.02 
henrys got it. I'll stay meeting nights in the west but I like a place down in Kihea much better… so the other nights I'm staying down there.17:42.07 
  s/west/westin/17:42.22 
mvrhel_laptop henrys: what day are you arriving?17:43.54 
henrys Sabrina is working on that.17:44.17 
Robin_Watts henrys: Closer to Dennys :)17:46.08 
henrys yes I've chosen a place very near Dennys17:46.46 
Robin_Watts We stayed down there last time.17:46.57 
henrys we stay in condos there, hoping we can get in.17:47.34 
  bbiab17:48.42 
Robin_Watts Mana Kai Maui Resort, was where we stayed last time I think.17:48.58 
  mvrhel_laptop (and anyone else who wants to try it): I think the fetcher should work properly now for all files18:24.07 
  Anyone awake here?19:42.36 
  mvrhel_laptop (for the logs) and anyone else: I've tweaked the reports returned by the dashboard cluster so that any filenames it spots in the reports are turned into links to the svnfetch.cgi thing.19:44.08 
  So in theory when you look at the dashboard for the results of your tests, you can get the files that fail just by clicking the links.19:44.38 
  This has meant I've had to turn the reports into html on the fly. I think I've escaped everything I need to, but if you see something I've missed, please say.19:45.09
