01:56 <LEBot> [slack] <chewitt> Our needs for strong media support are somewhat higher than the “hey it boots” you need for a server or basic desktop

01:57 <LEBot> [slack] <chewitt> If there is support in the upstream kernel we can make images. If we’re not offering any that’s usually an indication support is missing or not finished enough

14:22 <Gravis> chewitt: is using binary blobs is a no-go?

14:43 <LEBot> [slack] <chewitt> depends on what the blobs do?

14:44 <LEBot> [slack] <chewitt> if you’re talking about Mali blobs, they are not needed as lima works fine

14:44 <LEBot> [slack] <chewitt> Mali/Lima = GLES for rendering GUI

14:46 <oblikoamorale> d'uh, libreelec.tv rss feed changed its url. it would've been helpful if a redirect was in place :)

14:46 <oblikoamorale> not sure how many rss subscribers you have, but still

14:47 <LEBot> [slack] <chewitt> based on a recent straw poll of staff .. a very (very) tiny percentage of users

14:47 <LEBot> [slack] <CvH> from what to which url did it change ?

14:48 <LEBot> [slack] <CvH> we didn't changed it intentionally , likely some change at the used software at github

14:51 _xor has joined #libreelec

15:07 <oblikoamorale> https://libreelec.tv/feed became https://libreelec.tv/feed.xml . I only noticed that because today I found out about new LE version released 2 weeks ago, and my RSS reader didn't deliver the news ;)

15:08 LEBot has quit [Remote host closed the connection]

15:08 <Gravis> a simple 301 response would be better than nothing

15:09 LEBot has joined #libreelec

15:13 <LEBot> [slack] <CvH> https://libreelec.tv/feed still works

15:15 <oblikoamorale> or was it /feed/ ? I am not exactly sure anymore since I've already resubscribed to new advertised feed

15:15 <oblikoamorale> excuse me for lack of facts, but it is what it is :)

15:16 <oblikoamorale> yup, checked backups. it was https://libreelec.tv/feed/

15:17 <LEBot> [slack] <CvH> hmm then github pages changes something, I am not even sure we have any way of changing the behavior

15:20 <oblikoamorale> heh, indeed it was /feed/ in 2017 http://web.archive.org/web/20170601182639/https://libreelec.tv/ ;) perhaps some kind of redirect was in place and eventually it was removed

15:21 <oblikoamorale> sometime near the end of 2022

15:22 <oblikoamorale> I am not complaining, btw, just sharing the observations

21:29 <hays> Hey all—how do you do your kernels? It looks like you might just have one kernel and patch your way to all the board support. Is that right?

21:29 <hays> Looking in /projects

21:30 <hays> Are you just working with mainline or do you mess with the vendor kernels

21:33 <LEBot> [slack] <CvH> we use just mainline kernels + arch/board specific patches

21:33 <LEBot> [slack] <CvH> https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/tree/master/packages/linux

21:33 <LEBot> [slack] <CvH> current patches for Allwinner for example

21:33 <LEBot> [slack] <CvH> https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/tree/master/projects/Allwinner/patches/linux

21:34 <LEBot> [slack] <CvH> there are mainly patches that are already upstream or are going upstream

21:35 <hays> Ok so if a board is new and not mainline you don’t support it

21:35 <hays> And where do I get a view of which kernel tag you start from

21:36 <hays> Eg 6.0 5.16

21:38 <LEBot> [slack] <CvH> we do not support classic vendor kernels just stuff that is actually upstream and gets supported

21:38 <LEBot> [slack] <CvH> https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/blob/master/packages/linux/package.mk#L17-L36

21:40 <LEBot> [slack] <CvH> we try to not hoard any downstream patches because they cause major problems in the future

21:41 <hays> Thank you!
