SD870 porting - first steps?

abacus to dual-core CPU

just for joking: I had dual core in or at least twin-processor in my old casio pb1000[calcualtor] (sure hacked  version)
But it had/has unbelievable 64K of Ram.
Hey it had extra keys for scientific functions! No ned for a "ball-input-device" like with calc.exe

nostalgia, the good old versions of castle,... oops somehow this post is offtopic, but equal _Post

and again off-topic, somehow  that's philosophy, like linux or win or both or better dos, bmw or mercedes, but it's fun so:

id you know that the first Apollo mission to the moon was done with less computing power than was contained in a C64 computer?

Yes, indirectly, cause I knew about these missons having less Computing-power than today's cars.

Now people complain if they don't have a terabyte drive and dual-core processors just to watch porn.

Well I didn't complain about my Mobile Pentium 4 at 1992.9Mhz with it's 265 MB ram.
But when I bought my a710 with !!7.1MP instead of VGA resultion I didn't want to wait away the time infront of my
PC while I could have had good shooting sessions outside. So I bought 1GB of extra-ram.
(Hugin is really the worst thing you can do to your pc.)

What a total waste of technology (and lives).

And energy. You should watch my brother gaming his nint**d* d*. He didn't like my gameboy with it's cool sound and monochrom, brightness and contrast controllable display. It had one feature: when the batteries were down it wasn't useless:
Counting the pixels is really fun.
P.S.: Yes gameboy has touchscreen: just remove the clear display cover and voilà it has !colered! rainbow shows!

Ok enough off-topic. Time to do some...
Ah type ¹ in command-line to see what I do no:

Code:

shutdown -s -f -t 01

--> if you are not fast enough (1 sec is really long to read this) and can'T hint shutdown -a [Return]
-Blin---0W power consumation... ok I stop spammmmmmmmmmmmm....bmp

omg... a lot of offtopic goin' on, way out there!

Well, back to this build: I can't seem to be able to use the file browser properly. It opens, but I can't actually "click" to select any folder, nor actually know how to apply an action (i.e. delete files).


Also, isn't there a way to disable the on-screen touchpad "helper" (the machine original) while browsing CHDK menu? it just keeps popping in the way...

As for any actual testing... Haven't had the time yet :S

(I'm set out to build the bugtracker first - sorry for that GrAnd... I started already, but I can't  seem to merge logins between databases - a little more time, I think).

Cheers

Uhm,isnt trac supposed to be a bugtracker?

So, no new bugs found. SD870 porting - first steps?
As for touch wheel, the workaround now is to switch it off in the Canon menu.

There is a ticket system on assembla, but it's so awkward...

[PhyrePhoX]

yes, trac is the ticketsystem, why do you think it is awkward?
will the new bugtracker be public or for devs only? you have to consider this: one wiki, one forum, one svn server (plus assembla/trac- nice "webfrontend" to svn), serveral servers for binaries plus a futurue bugtracker on another url.
well, it really depends on it being public or not. "regular" chdk users (non-hackers/coders) have never submitted proper bugreports before, and will have difficulties with a "complex web based bugtracker".
even if this bugtracker will be published, i would still consider a dedicated subforum for bugtracking, including a stickified topic with an example bug ticket explaining how to submit a bug either directly in forum or on the dedicated bugtracker.
plus, a dedicated bugtracker will have the disadvantage, that only you (the "master devs") will get notifications about bugs and subsequentially only you will fix these bugs. that means that this will reduce my chance to fix bugs on my own (and attach the diff in the forum post) to reduce YOUR workload.
sorry for offtopic.

@PhyrePhoX
We tried to use the tickets system on assembla a year ago, but it did not go... It's too simple. No predefined fields, no flexible statuses...
The bugtracker is supposed to be public, of course. It won't be "a dedicated", it will be integrated with the forum (I mean accounts will be the same).

edit: Ok. I granted "open new ticket" permissions to anyone at assembla. So, you can try to open a new one...

edit2: I tried playing with several bagtrackers and liked this one.

[PhyrePhoX]

well, you are right, there arent many options there. but on New Ticket - Demo33 - Trac for example they do have some more options.
i opened up a ticket, you can delete it.
mantis is huge and very powerful, yes, will need its time to install, configure & test. ah, it's a shame that the overhead of such projects as chdk always is so huge, why cant we just code

[GrAnd]

well, you are right, there arent many options there. but on New Ticket - Demo33 - Trac for example they do have some more options.

Yes, that fields can be enabled and their content is adjustable. But that's all. They even can't be renamed.

edit: Regarding mantis... I installed it more than two months ago my local machine (under VMWare) to play with, because the discussion regarding the using of such system was started that time already (sorry, in the "For Developers" private forum). I've run it again, so you can play with it too: My View - Bug Tracker
The reporter's login/password: guest/guest (anonymous access can be used to view)
The developer's login/password: chdk/chdk
Do not broke anything.

I've tried to put one of the bugs successfully, I think it's a good method to wear some bug-features-control. It's very easy to work with.

Good Work!

[GrAnd]

But please be noticed that it was just a prototype for demonstration to acseven. It's running just for a couple hours and will be shutdown soon...

PS And it's easy to setup. The installation took me just an hour with tuning and branding.... 

[dodgersp]

I know, I was only saying that seems to be a good program

[acseven]

I installed mantis without any issue, the trouble is when integrating the login with smf, I haven't been able to make it work.

I haven't had much to look at it, I must be honest :S
