09:30:46 <jperkin> be aware anyone updating to binutils 2.40, looks like they broke gstrip
09:53:56 <otis> that's the reason for rev 1.110 in pkgsrc?
09:54:58 <jperkin> I just reverted that, was only half the story
19:24:01 <richlowe> be aware also that while GNU strip is _usually_ what causes problems, it all uses the same libbfd code, so really it's "anything GNU that alters objects"
19:24:14 <richlowe> so objcopy and things like that are very likely toxic too
19:25:03 <toasterson> Are we not using our own tools for all of that?
19:25:28 <richlowe> we don't have our own objcopy
19:25:35 <richlowe> for some reason people choose to run GNU strip a lot
19:26:22 <richlowe> and not shipping it (who knows what the fallout would be?) would still leave the other binutils broken, so it's not clear it would pay for itself, misery-wise
19:26:37 <toasterson> well then we should either fix them or simply drop those tools from all releases

19:27:23 <richlowe> when I notice something, I file upstream bugs, and they've fixed them (or at least made noises toward that)  
19:27:28 <richlowe> I don't know whether jperkin does the same
19:28:32 <toasterson> THats one, but updates seem to keep braking things for us. 2.37 or 38 was bad for OI when it came out aswell.
19:29:01 <toasterson> So question is then what keeps breaking for us
19:29:59 <richlowe> 2.37 or 2.38 just added a warning message you didn't notice, I believe?
19:30:58 <sommerfeld> just checking: usual practice for code.illumos.org gerrit is for the submitter to "abandon" changes after they land in illumos-gate?
19:31:43 <toasterson> I don't remember the details. But it means I actually need to pay attention to binutils when updating. Not to complain, it's not that many packages these days that break stuff in release.
19:39:02 <jperkin> I'd need to do quite a bit of testing to see if our strip works ok, one reason our bits currently require gnu strip is that they use -o to ditch broken stripped outputs in case anything went wrong, so there would be some reworking required there at least
19:41:25 <richlowe> sommerfeld: Yeah, abandon with a message like "Integrated"
19:41:36 <richlowe> sommerfeld: I was going to automate it, but got scared of what automating gerrit entails.
19:42:11 <richlowe> jperkin: our strip destroys Go binaries (why do people strip go? I don't know). 
19:42:29 <richlowe> I'd asked folks affected who understood the Go linker to figure out who was at fault.  elfdump has things to say about the correctness of Go binaries
19:43:33 <richlowe> so it creates empty relocation sections (which I'd hope were fine), but it also creates a buildid note that is smaller than a note section can really be.
19:43:38 <richlowe> which seems like the problem.
19:44:03 <richlowe> anyway, the specifics probably don't matter to you, but anything go in pkgsrc that for some reason strips will corrupt horribly
19:44:12 <jperkin> richlowe: yeh everything destroys go binaries, our Makefiles are basically *_SUPPORTED=no
19:49:20 <richlowe> our strip/mcs need a full rewrite to be less... like themselves, too
19:49:28 <richlowe> so to be clear, we have no moral highground here
19:49:43 <richlowe> everyone likes their own flavor and all that. 
19:51:35 <jclulow> ha
20:10:38 <sommerfeld> next q: is there any way for me to update the "description" section of a bug I filed (https://www.illumos.org/issues/15347 specifically)?   Put some out-of-date info in there because I inadvertently did my initial investigation on a really old tree.  
20:10:40 <fenix> → FEATURE 15347: bringovercheck and sccscheck can go away. (New) | https://code.illumos.org/c/illumos-gate/+/2615
20:20:19 <jbk> sommerfeld: if you clikc on 'expand properties', you should be able to edit all of that
20:26:15 <sommerfeld> I don't see an "expand properties" button anywhere.  
20:27:03 <sommerfeld> (maybe my account isn't sufficiently blessed to be allowed to do that?)
20:42:55 <richlowe> jclulow: can you fix sommerfeld? I'm not sure how (again)
20:43:32 <richlowe> sommerfeld: if you click "edit" it's immediately under the word "Edit" in the box that pops up, if it works for you.
20:43:49 <richlowe> I have no idea why redmine makes it hard to find, this is actually the less-hard-to-find variant
20:43:57 <richlowe> but you may also not have the perm
20:58:03 <sommerfeld> Probably don't have the permission.   I'm not listed as a "member" of any sort on https://www.illumos.org/projects/illumos-gate
20:59:13 <sommerfeld> Only  thing under "Edit" in the edit pop-up is a "Notes" box which lets me add a note or attach files.
21:17:36 <richlowe> sommerfeld: try now?
21:21:23 <sommerfeld> I now see a "change properties" in the edit popup.
21:22:20 <sommerfeld> thank you!
22:16:32 <jclulow> Haha sorry I was afk -- thanks for getting that richlowe
22:16:47 <richlowe> jclulow: you might want to check I did it right :)
22:17:36 <jclulow> Looks right to me!
