| srichter | how is it going? | 00:26 |
|---|---|---|
| srichter | th1a: did you get the examples to work? | 00:27 |
| th1a | I've been distracted. | 00:28 |
| srichter | ok | 00:28 |

| tiredbones | When I run "schooltool-server.py" I'm informed that "var/schoolbell.log" is missing. Can I touch this file and what var should it be in? | 03:04 |
| th1a | tiredbones: Where are you running that from? | 03:28 |
| *** th1a has quit IRC | 03:41 | |
| *** th1a has joined #schooltool | 03:53 | |
| tiredbones | th1a, I'm running it from the top of the tree. | 03:59 |
| th1a | You checked it out, did 'make' and then 'python schooltool-server.py' ? | 04:00 |
| tiredbones | th1a, /usr/local/schooltool | 04:00 |
| tiredbones | th1a, my "make test" failed. Does this test have to pass before starting scholltool? | 04:02 |
| th1a | What failed? | 04:02 |
| th1a | Sometimes a few tests fail but the server will seem to work. | 04:03 |
| tiredbones | th1a, I'm using to instruction in the readm.txt file. It said to run "make test" and the "make ftest". | 04:03 |
| th1a | So when you try to run it it doesn't find var/log? | 04:04 |
| th1a | That should be in schooltool-skel/ | 04:04 |
| tiredbones | th1a, no var.lof not found. | 04:05 |
| th1a | What OS are you on? | 04:06 |
| tiredbones | th1a, ubuntu -breezy. | 04:06 |
| th1a | So you do an svn checkout from the trunk. | 04:08 |
| th1a | Cd into your new directory. | 04:08 |
| th1a | Type 'make test' and get errors? | 04:08 |
| tiredbones | th1a, the only thing I have on schooltool-skel/var is the readme file. | 04:08 |
| tiredbones | th1a, When I run make test I get an error from gcc. It could be that I have some hardware problem accordin to the doc I read. | 04:10 |
| th1a | Ah. | 04:10 |
| tiredbones | th1a, I'm not sure this is so, yet. | 04:10 |
| tiredbones | th1a, I'm not sure of this tho. | 04:11 |
| th1a | If you're getting an error from gcc it isn't even compiling the Zope 3 extensions correctly, I'd imagine. | 04:11 |
| tiredbones | th1a, Does the make test have to pass to bring up scholltool? | 04:11 |
| th1a | Do you get the same error if you just type 'make' ? | 04:12 |
| tiredbones | th1a, it's running now? | 04:12 |
| tiredbones | th1a, that finish without an error. | 04:13 |
| th1a | Why do you say it is an error from GCC? | 04:13 |
| th1a | You're just going to have to paste all your error messages and stick them on http://issues.schooltool.org | 04:14 |
| th1a | Or mail them to schooltool-dev. | 04:14 |
| th1a | Most of us use Breezy all the time, so it doesn't make sense that this isn't working for you. | 04:14 |
| tiredbones | th1a, I agree with your last statement. That's is why I'm confuse. | 04:15 |
| tiredbones | th1a, does make test have to pass before starting schooltool? | 04:16 |
| th1a | No. | 04:17 |
| th1a | But I don't understand why you think the error is coming from gcc. | 04:17 |
| th1a | If there is a problem compiling C extensions, it wouldn't surprise me if nothing works. | 04:17 |
| tiredbones | th1a, I assume that because when I run make test I get a seg fault from the compilation Btree. | 04:18 |
| th1a | Yes, if you are getting a segfault from SchoolTool ever, something has gone horribly, horribly awry far below the level of our programming. | 04:19 |
| tiredbones | th1a, I'm running make test again and I'm getting farther than I did before. | 04:20 |
| tiredbones | s/further/farther | 04:21 |
| tiredbones | th1a, I now got seg fault from some different than before. I'll post it pastebin. | 04:22 |
| th1a | If I were you I'd download Zope 3.2 from Zope.org and see if that will compile and run. | 04:23 |
| tiredbones | th1a, http://pastebin.com/553736 | 04:24 |
| th1a | cd into the Zope3 directory and run 'make test' | 04:25 |
| th1a | See if those pass. | 04:26 |
| tiredbones | th1a, this is the last part the screen, http://pastebin.com/553742 | 04:30 |
| th1a | Well, it isn't a SchoolTool problem, then. | 04:31 |
| th1a | Are you running some weird architecture or something? | 04:31 |
| tiredbones | th1a, No | 04:32 |
| th1a | This is a lower level problem than I can diagnose. | 04:32 |
| tiredbones | th1a, madmin(?) pointed me to some doc about this issue, it seems he had the same problem. His solution was to by new ram. | 04:34 |
| th1a | mgedmin. | 04:35 |
| th1a | Do you compile other C apps on this machine? | 04:35 |
| tiredbones | th1a, not yet, but that's my next test. | 04:36 |
| tiredbones | th1a, I'm not sure how complex the code has to be before the error shows up. | 04:37 |
| th1a | You could also try a RAM test. | 04:38 |
| tiredbones | th1a, Can you point me to some docs/ | 04:39 |
| th1a | http://www.memtest86.com/ | 04:40 |
| tiredbones | th1a, just found it on google. Thanks for your time. | 04:40 |

| ignas | well, if it says that everything is ok, then probably your RAM is ok | 14:48 |
| tiredbones | ignas, yes but I still get a seg fault when I run make test on schooltool. | 14:49 |

| tiredbones | Is there a log for this? | 15:33 |
| ignas | tiredbones, your computer is seriously broken, as gcc segfault indicated, and sorry but we can't really help you run schooltool/bell on a broken PC ... | 15:36 |
| ignas | i am not really good at fixing hardware problems remotely | 15:37 |
| ignas | ... | 15:37 |
| tiredbones | I'm going to download again, is this the right address? svn co http://source.schooltool.org/svn/trunk/schooltool | 15:41 |
| ignas | tiredbones, as i have already said - turn of your PC and carry it to the service, because you are having some pretty serious hardware problems, and if not fixed you can loose your data/ burn your mother board/ poison your cat etc. | 15:43 |
| alga | ignas is right | 15:45 |
| tiredbones | The problem I waould have is finding someone to look at it and know what they are doing. | 15:47 |
| ignas | aren't there any computer services in the town ? | 15:51 |
| tiredbones | The nearest town is 30 miles away. It's probable time to build a new box. | 15:54 |
| tiredbones | This has not been my week. First my fuls pump went on by backhoe during the snow stom, next my furnace started to suck air, causing it not to run. The toen refuse to let me rezone my property. Now my computer shit-the-bed. | 15:57 |
| ignas | where are you from ? | 15:58 |
| tiredbones | I live in Maine, USA. | 15:58 |
| tiredbones | P.S. This is the highest tax state in the USA. | 16:00 |

| srichter | tiredbones: where in Maine do you live? | 16:10 |
| tiredbones | srichter, A place called Casco, near lake sebago, which I look at while I work. | 16:11 |
| tiredbones | srichter, I went to Boston once to see you give a speach on Zope 3 at the boston-group(?), but things got kinda busy for you and you couldn't make it.I hope you can make it up some day. | 16:14 |
| srichter | oh, I was giving a talk at the last one | 16:22 |
| srichter | I think I will give another one soon | 16:22 |
| tiredbones | srichter, I didn't get a notice on your speach. I'll be look for your next one. | 16:24 |
| * srichter took out his Maine Gazetteer and found your town | 16:24 | |
| srichter | is it really 30 miles to Portland? the map says more about 15-20 miles | 16:25 |
| tiredbones | srichter, population 3,000 in the winter month and 30,000 in the summer months. | 16:25 |
| srichter | wow! | 16:26 |
| *** j-w has joined #schooltool | 16:26 | |
| srichter | mmh, maybe a great place to have a sprint in the spring/summer :-) | 16:26 |
| tiredbones | srichter, to be exact it's 28 miles. | 16:26 |
| srichter | huh | 16:27 |
| tiredbones | srichter, to be exact it's 28 miles to Portland. | 16:27 |
| srichter | ok; can you go snowmobiling over there? | 16:28 |
| tiredbones | srichter, yes, but I gave by snowmobile away a couple of years ago. From my house you can snowmobile to Canada. I uderstand they have some very nice hotels on many of these trails. | 16:30 |
| th1a | OK, let's get this meeting underway. | 16:31 |
| srichter | tiredbones: cool, I might have to come up one weekend | 16:31 |
| th1a | It should be brief. | 16:31 |
| srichter | th1a: yep, claerly I am here | 16:31 |
| th1a | Who else is awake? | 16:32 |
| * mgedmin is ready for the meeting | 16:32 | |
| tiredbones | srichter, I had some friends that snowmobile from Portland Or. to Portland, Me. a couple of years age. They said they would never do that again. I'l lurk now. | 16:32 |
| th1a | OK, let's plow ahead then. | 16:32 |
| th1a | jinty has limited connectivity, but it doesn't appear (from his email) that anything is standing in his way to create the packages for Dapper. | 16:33 |
| th1a | Good work by mgedmin and ignas making more changes than we thought would be necessary to get things running with Zope 3.2. | 16:34 |
| srichter | yes, well done! | 16:34 |
| th1a | Anything in particular that should be brought to the Zope 3 release manager's attention? | 16:34 |
| * mgedmin stands up and bows modestly | 16:34 | |
| srichter | I think a bug report concerning the missing BBB of the viewlet stuff would be good | 16:35 |
| mgedmin | I cannot think of anything | 16:35 |
| mgedmin | has anyone tried a live database upgrade? | 16:35 |
| mgedmin | (and lived to tell the tale) | 16:35 |
| th1a | Um... no. | 16:35 |
| ignas | well - Zope3 drastically changet the xstrategy of selecting multi adapters | 16:36 |
| ignas | and - there is no BBB for http server | 16:36 |
| * th1a just had to run to the door to receive his Paris to Brussels and Brussels to Rotterdam rail tickets. | 16:37 | |
| srichter | the BBB for the HTTP server is a good one | 16:38 |
| ignas | the drastic change in the selection policy was the evil bit | 16:39 |
| ignas | it literaly turned the world around for REST traversers, and got only 2 lines of mention in the ChangeLog of Zope3 | 16:39 |
| srichter | multi-adapter lookup: That strategy should not have changed much, other than a relatively small change to fix a bug; wait for 3.3 :-) | 16:39 |
| ignas | srichter, the fix was not small | 16:39 |
| kitblake | th1a, doublecheck the dates | 16:40 |
| ignas | imho | 16:40 |
| ignas | ignoring the interfaces on the first argument vs making them the main criteria | 16:41 |
| srichter | but that change should have not caused any failures, unless you were using the buggy one | 16:41 |
| srichter | anyways, the change for 3.3 will be bigger | 16:42 |
| srichter | as a note, Jim has told me that unit tests will speed up 30% and startup and ftests 50% (or the other way around; I can't remember exactely) | 16:42 |
| mgedmin | hurrah! | 16:42 |
| alga | yay | 16:43 |
| th1a | srichter: How's that going to work? | 16:43 |
| srichter | he basically completely rewrote the lookup and caching strategy | 16:43 |
| srichter | the new code will also feature site inheritance | 16:43 |
| srichter | which opens the door for declaring local sites in ZCML | 16:44 |
| mgedmin | will it perhaps be possible to get a complete list of adapter registrations? | 16:44 |
| mgedmin | (to catch unit tests that do not cleanup after themselves) | 16:44 |
| srichter | I dunno, I have not looked at it, but it should be possible | 16:44 |
| srichter | it is possible now too, I think | 16:44 |
| srichter | anyways, the speedup seemed feasible, because multi-adapter lookup used to be very inefficient, since it was implemented as an afterthought | 16:45 |
| th1a | OK... we should probably move on. | 16:46 |
| mgedmin | I am sure it is *possible* now, if you know the implementation details of the adapter registry *intimately* | 16:46 |
| mgedmin | but there is no public API for that | 16:46 |
| mgedmin | (or at least there wasn't when I last looked for it) | 16:47 |
| mgedmin | ok, +1 for moving on | 16:47 |
| th1a | srichter, kitblake, et al: Comments on your summit in Rotterdam? | 16:47 |
| th1a | Infrae impressions of SchoolTool? | 16:47 |
| j-w | i think the summit was useful! | 16:48 |
| j-w | we got to know schooltool really quickly having stephan around! | 16:48 |
| kitblake | we made a flying start with Stephan here | 16:48 |
| kitblake | Martijn is at a customer today, but he had some good sessions with Stephan last week. | 16:48 |
| kitblake | they worked on an average score calculation for the gradebook | 16:49 |
| srichter | yeah, I think it went really well; MArtijn and I got to chat about some term/gradebook integration as well, since those two seem tightly coupled for some reason | 16:49 |
| kitblake | Martijn and Stephan talked about how terms, types of terms, courses and sections fit together and got some interesting ideas on how to proceed with a design | 16:49 |
| th1a | srichter and I are going to meet on Thursday & will probably work on those issues some more. | 16:50 |
| mgedmin | srichter, never mind, I think I see it now | 16:50 |
| mgedmin | srichter, thanks | 16:51 |
| th1a | OK. Thanks for the report... | 16:51 |
| srichter | yeah, I hope Tom will simplify the requirements, so that we do not have to implement the complex solution Martijn and I thought of | 16:51 |
| kitblake | np, in general SchoolTool looks really promising | 16:51 |
| * mgedmin is unable to separate privmsgs from public msgs in xchat with auto-open-dialog-windows disabled | 16:51 | |
| * th1a doesn't think the requirements will be that complex. | 16:51 | |
| th1a | OK, let's just make sure everyone is on the same page about who is going to start what, when. | 16:52 |
| srichter | yep | 16:52 |
| th1a | Infrae will be free to work on SchoolTool in earnest in about a month. | 16:53 |
| kitblake | Martijn will do some time with Stephan in the coming weeks | 16:53 |
| th1a | That will be good. | 16:53 |
| th1a | srichter: We need to finalize your next proposal, right? | 16:54 |
| srichter | yes | 16:54 |
| th1a | What's POV's schedule looking like? | 16:54 |
| * th1a wonders when we should refactor sections. | 16:55 | |
| srichter | th1a: but we will need the meeting on Thursday to do that, just so that we agree on complexity and direction | 16:55 |
| srichter | th1a: I think the term work will shake this up anyways, so that might be a good point | 16:55 |
| th1a | srichter: I think we're both driving in the same direction. | 16:55 |
| alga | It seems that 2 persons will be working on schooltool in the nearest future | 16:57 |
| alga | Aistė is away from office, so we're not 100% sure :-) | 16:57 |
| th1a | OK. | 16:58 |
| srichter | he he | 16:58 |
| th1a | I'm flying to London on Saturday & traveling all next week. | 16:58 |
| alga | We have national holidays from Thursday till Monday | 16:59 |
| th1a | So if POV happens to want to start working next week, let me know soon. | 16:59 |
| srichter | we have monday off as well here | 16:59 |
| mgedmin | Monday is not off here | 16:59 |
| alga | we're OK to start working, we just need to flesh out exactly on what | 16:59 |
| mgedmin | but Thursday through Sunday is | 17:00 |
| mgedmin | alga is using half-open date ranges, as is mathematically proper ;-) | 17:00 |
| alga | mgedmin: "till-exclusive" Monday | 17:00 |
| th1a | alga: OK, I'll work on the stories. | 17:00 |
| alga | We'll try to estimate them ASAP | 17:01 |
| th1a | I think 'll be in a meeting next Tuesday at this time... since jinty probably won't be able to make the meeting either, perhaps we should skip the week. | 17:03 |
| srichter | th1a: Tom is POV continue to work on attendance or something else? | 17:03 |
| th1a | srichter: Yes. | 17:03 |
| srichter | ok, so that won't interfer with the term work that much then | 17:03 |
| th1a | Not really. | 17:04 |
| th1a | OK. Let's wrap this up then. | 17:05 |
| th1a | Let everyone go to recess early. | 17:05 |
| th1a | Have a good week, folks. | 17:05 |
| ignas | srichter, unless some timezone bug will make us go out of path and fix broken stuff ;) | 17:05 |
| srichter | ok, that is calendar stuff, which is fine too | 17:06 |
| * th1a bangs the virtual gavel. | 17:06 | |
| srichter | I just have a feeling that the term work will be very integrative and thus swap into other areas | 17:06 |
| th1a | If you guys find yourselves sitting around in Vilnius looking for something to do, you can get started on some bugs. | 17:06 |
| srichter | we certainly have defined this in the combination term, course, section and gradebook already | 17:06 |
| srichter | (we as in MArtijn and I) | 17:07 |
| mgedmin | th1a, you're echoing my thoughts | 17:08 |
| th1a | Rest assured that we'll pay you for bugfixes. | 17:08 |
| tiredbones | srichter, Your more than welcome to stay here if you don't mine a house being built. | 17:09 |
| th1a | Especially timezone bugs... | 17:09 |
| mgedmin | yeah, those land mines intefrere with house construction | 17:09 |
| mgedmin | s/fr/f/ | 17:09 |
| tiredbones | That goes for anyone else who wants to visit Maine. | 17:10 |
| srichter | thanks | 17:11 |
| * th1a is going to be learning how to lay out and produce report cards using TinyRML and pdftemplate over the next couple days. | 17:12 | |
| tiredbones | My fingers don't keep up with what I'm thinking and I'm not very good at typing. | 17:12 |
| tiredbones | s/mine/mind/ | 17:13 |
| srichter | th1a: I hope to see some results on Thursday :-) | 17:15 |
| srichter | th1a: have you gotten it to run already? | 17:15 |
| th1a | Yes, I've got the samples running. | 17:15 |
| th1a | I think I should rough out the layout in HTML, to get the TAL right. | 17:15 |
| th1a | Once I can do that, I'm not too worried about the RML itself. | 17:16 |
