00:14:48 <jclulow> I also like "beadm activate -t" for that purpose haha
00:15:59 <jclulow> I have at various points had a program to overlay a bunch of files into a temporary boot environment on the test machine; it would mount it at /a if it was not the live one, or just write in place if it was the live one, and then do another "beadm activate -t" and reboot
00:16:35 <jclulow> I would do "dmake -m serial -S install && $CODEMGR_WS/deploy.sh" basically over and over
00:17:06 <jclulow> Having dumpadm put crash dumps outside the boot environment also helps
11:56:55 <pilonsi> Thanks for the tips!
11:58:11 <pilonsi> Makes a lot of sense indeed
12:00:37 <pilonsi> I'll probably work on a fork of the illumos repo and have a wip branch for frequent commits just in case
12:00:54 <pilonsi> But it's worth it just for the annoyance of the dev machine rebooting again and again
12:00:58 <pilonsi> And the crashes
21:01:02 <richlowe> alanc: is winlock still used?
21:35:59 <richlowe> I finally remembered to look at what the heck it does 
22:18:01 <alanc> richlowe: only if you still use Xsun with SunDGA
22:20:11 <alanc> which folks who still have SPARC support might, but no one using the current illumos gate could be doing
22:21:01 <richlowe> thanks!
22:21:56 <alanc> we didn't get around to removing it until 11.4 since everyone had forgotten it existed
22:23:09 <richlowe> it happened to be the last console message before I crashed, and I remembered to finally follow through on wondering what it was
22:24:23 <alanc> when EOL'ing it, my history search found that it predated ARC, going back to SunOS 4 days, and just had a side mention  in LSARC/1993/529 (DGA Drawable Interface) as a "Private shared memory locking protocol"
22:25:36 <alanc> that ARC case also noted that libdga in the X consolidation had always had 'its
22:25:36 <alanc>          own copy of the interface definitions in its source code, since
22:25:36 <alanc>          <sys/winlockio.h> was never made available outside of the ON gate,
22:25:36 <alanc>          with a comment from 1991 noting that doing so was "a temporary hack
22:25:36 <alanc>          so we can develop the new /dev/winlock interface", showing once again
22:25:37 <alanc>          that nothing is as long-lasting as a temporary workaround.)'
22:27:24 <richlowe> thanks, at least we can be convinced about deleting it
22:27:37 <richlowe> I filed #16817 (fenix?)
22:27:37 <fenix> BUG 16817: winlock can probably be removed (New)
22:27:38 <fenix> ↳ https://www.illumos.org/issues/16817
22:27:40 <richlowe> to make sure we remember
22:27:50 <richlowe> if I'd waited a few more seconds, I'd have not said "probably" :)
22:28:05 <alanc> heh
