charuto
what is the proper procedure to add public txos to the blackball set (example in the case of public donations)?
-
charuto
also, is there a way to verify that a key image is valid and not falsified?
-
needmoney90
^ valid as in, the key image can be validated as belonging to a particular txo/private viewkey, given only that viewkey and txo/key image
-
charuto
yeah thats what i meant

hyc
why don't we roll back the gitian builds' OS to an earlier ubuntu release, instead of always updating ubuntu 16?
-
hyc
none of the platform libraries are statically linked into our builds anyway, so why do we update them before building?
-
hyc
TheCharlatan: ^^
-
TheCharlatan
what's the goal of doing that hyc? I don't quite follow what you mean with updating platform libraries before building. AFAICT only gitian-builder does updates, so it's not something we have configured on our end.
-
hyc
the goal is avoiding new glibc dependencies

Guest_80
Has any ETA been announced for triptych/
-
Guest_80
?*
-
moneromooo
No.
-
Guest_80
Cool thanks
-
hyc
has it even been agreed that it's going in?
-
moneromooo
No.
-
Guest_80
So what's on the schedule after the fork next week?
-
moneromooo
None.
-
moneromooo
Or, rather, whatever people want to work on.
-
moneromooo
Which is not a schedule.
-
Guest_80
No kanban board or anything?

Upper management has previously attempted various adaptive, simultaneous workflows, primarily for process improvements, however, these pesky programms have a life of their own.

hyc we could go back to an older OS, but then we also have an older toolchain. Either way, requirement changes to libc are usually introduced with new code, not updates in the OS.
-
hyc
but if we stick to an old glibc, requirements can't change
-
moneromooo
I guess we also get security fixes in any dep we'd link statically.
-
hyc
meanwhile, there's no reason we can't self-compile the desired toolchain and just stow them in the repo
-
hyc
people need to get out of the mindset that you can only use the version of executables that some distro maker bundled with some package.
-
moneromooo
Push a whole OS userland in a repo ?
-
hyc
all of our static dependencies are already things that we build ourselves
-
hyc
no
-
hyc
only push the compiler+linker
-
hyc
and only if we actually need a specific newer version
-
hyc
as it is we already download an entire Android SDK, entire MacoSX SDK, entire FreeBSD SDK
-
hyc
might as well build an entire Linux SDK once and never need to change it again
-
hyc
right now our builds are only reproducible if you perform at around th same time as the release was made
-
hyc
if enough time has passed, underlying OS updates get pulled in, so what you get later won't necessarily be byte-for-byte identical to when the build was first done
-
hyc
we should not be pulling in those OS updats.
-
hyc
funny thing is every platform except Linux builds with a frozen SDK
-
hyc
so, a slightly simpler approach - download an older glibc, extract to a separate directory tree
-
hyc
edit gcc specs file to point to that instead of the default locations
-
hyc
no problemo
-
hyc
heh. ubuntu 16 used glibc-2.23 so it would still be too new
-
hyc
so how far back do we want to support? 2.19? 2.17?
-
TheCharlatan
I think before the change that led to the introduction of __signgam, we were down to 2.17
-
TheCharlatan
or at least that is what objdump on 0.15 reveals.
-
hyc
-
TheCharlatan
doesn't matter. If you select anything below 2.23 we'll use the symbols from <=2.17 again.
-
TheCharlatan
The __signgam change was only introduced in 2.23:
sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15421
-
hyc
I'll try a build with 2.19 then
-
hyc
meh. turning 8 debs into a single depends pkg is not straightforward
-
hyc
mebbe I should just extract al the debs and then tar the result

thomasb06
Hello. Not being a student in computer science, would you have a bit of room for contributing? Maybe with setting the documentation up to date or something simple?
-
moneromooo
Sure, there are a number of non coding things one can do.
-
moneromooo
Documentation is often a moving target though.
-
moneromooo
Maybe you could start by documenting what you had to find out by yourself and wish were docuemnted in the first place.
-
thomasb06
moneromooo: hey... well, coding is going to tough for me: I only do fortran on a daily basis
-
moneromooo
There are a few guides on getmonero.org already.
-
thomasb06
ah, I have an idea then: I had to find by myself that to start mining I had to start monerod first. Maybe I can add this
-
thomasb06
first I'll "peel" getmonero.org and if I see a possible improvement I'll submit it
-
thomasb06
(peel -> go through)
-
TheCharlatan
thomasb06 maybe try following the different compilation and testing tutorials. There always seems to be something to fix in them.
