 emily | well | 18:02:42 |
| emily | I really doubt that the two module sets will completely compress into nothing | 18:02:50 |
| emily | kernel versions do famously change things in modules | 18:02:57 |
| emily | but I'd hope it'd be a non-trivial improvement | 18:03:14 |
| emily | ideally we'd get them to be interleaved in the cpio… | 18:03:22 |
| emily | so that you have one version of a module right after the other version | 18:03:27 |
| emily | then it'd compress better | 18:03:35 |
| emily | think you can do that ElvishJerricco? :P | 18:03:40 |
 ElvishJerricco | I mean at that point we better take the erofs initrd patch and just let erofs do the fancy dedupe | 18:03:54 |
| emily | yeah | 18:03:59 |
 K900 | @emily I am big computering | 18:04:07 |
| K900 | It's honestly not even a terrible number of rebuilds | 18:04:19 |
| emily | https://clickhole.com/the-future-is-now-google-has-confirmed-that-its-comput-1825121342/ | 18:04:25 |
| emily | yeah I guess on Linux LLVM is just Rust and Mesa | 18:04:33 |
| emily | I'm too used to Darwin | 18:04:40 |
| emily | where of course touching LLVM kills you instantly | 18:04:46 |
| emily | I didn't even check the syntax of my C++ modifications btw. sorry | 18:04:55 |
| emily | furthemore… uh… KDE? | 18:05:48 |
| emily | oh yeah DrKonqi depends on GDB | 18:05:54 |
| emily | I assume that's not an avoidable thing | 18:05:57 |
 Grimmauld (any/all) | so let me keep track:
- maliit bad but a fix is in sight
- LLVM/mesa maybe fixable by static and/or moving some stuff
- samba/python cursed

- samba/python cursed
- sdl/gtk not worth trying to optimize
| 18:08:59 |
| emily | the Samba thing is probably not hard if I had to guess | 18:10:02 |
| emily | they'll have been using Python's binding to MD5 or whatever for some cursed SMB thing in the tool | 18:10:15 |
| emily | just need to check if they're still doing that | 18:10:22 |
| Grimmauld (any/all) | the codebase is a mess | 18:10:33 |
| Grimmauld (any/all) | its basically one giant python file they call into as a library | 18:10:43 |
| K900 | Maliit is not getting fixed | 18:10:44 |
| K900 | To be clear | 18:10:45 |
| Grimmauld (any/all) | replace is a kind of fix for us | 18:10:56 |
