00:00 <@nop> hi

00:00 < Debrys> greetings

00:00 < case> hallo

00:00 <@nop> hi

00:00 < Bouris> Hi.

00:00 < MrEcho> hey case

00:00 <@nop> meeting started

00:00 < case> sup echo

00:01 <@mids> nop: agenda please

00:01 <@nop> ok

00:01 <@nop> I thought you had it

00:01 <@nop> ;)

00:01 <@nop> 1) welcome

00:01 <@mids> 1) Welcome

00:01 <@mids> 2) Normal stuff

00:01 <@mids> 3) Questions

00:01 <@mids> .

00:01 <@nop> sure that works

00:01 <@nop> welcome to the nth IIP-dev meeting

00:01 <@nop> 2) Normal stuff, i.e. IIP update

00:01 <@nop> ok

00:02 <@nop> we're working on getting rc3 changed to 1.1 final

00:02 <@nop> I think all that's left is some path fix bugs

00:02 <@mids> hezekiah made the patch for -h, nop is reviewing it

00:02 <@nop> yes

00:02 <@nop> actually he can commit, I'll let him know, forgot to email him

00:02 <@mids> ok

00:02 <@nop> also

00:02 <@mids> then we just got to check how the other reported bug is

00:03 <@nop> Hezekiah has successfully compiled a version of IIP with the GNU Multi Precision library

00:03 <@nop> and it was a success

00:03 < MrEcho> cool

00:03 <@nop> the crypto speed was improved

00:03 <@nop> so that will be something we do for 1.2

00:03 <@nop> 1.2 is focusing on standards as well, standardized crypto engine and big number routines

00:03 <@nop> etc

00:03 <@mids> there is our hero!

00:04 -!- mode/#iip-dev [+o hezekiah] by mids

00:04 <@hezekiah> Who?

00:04 <@nop> you

00:04 <@mids> you!

00:04 <@hezekiah> Sorry I'm late. :)

00:04 <@hezekiah> (And thanks for the compliment.)

00:06 <@hezekiah> Did I miss the meeting? ... or is it still going?

00:06 <@mids> nop was just telling about the update works

00:06 <@mids> and that you can commit the -h patch

00:06 <@hezekiah> OK.

00:06 <@mids> then we got to see how severe the problems with the file paths are

00:06 <@hezekiah> I just got through reading the logs.

00:06 <@mids> test in multiple locations etc

00:06 < MrEcho> anything new for windows users?

00:06 <@mids> platofrms I mean

00:08 <@hezekiah> Well, the -h bugfix might affect the windows users. I'm not sure if it was a problem over there.

00:09 <@hezekiah> As for the GnuMP implementation of BigNum, that should be part of the 1.2 release for windows (though it might take some work to get it to run on windows.)

00:09 < Debrys> may i ask what this BigNum-stuff is all about?

00:10 < case> what version of libgmp was it dones with?

00:10 < case> er

00:10 < case> dones/done

00:10 <@hezekiah> Well, since mids and nop seem to have dissapeared for the moment, I'll explain it while we wait for them to get back.

00:10 <@hezekiah> OK.

00:10 <@mids> I am listening

00:10 <@mids> please entertain

00:10 <@hezekiah> First I'll answer case's question because it is simple. I used version 4.1 of GnuMP.

00:10 <@hezekiah> (Gentoo doesn't have 4.1.2 yet.)

00:11 <@hezekiah> Next is Debrys question:

00:11 <@hezekiah> BigNum structure with a is a bunch of functions used in the isproxy source code.

00:11 <@hezekiah> It is basically just a way to make integers that are REALLY REALLY big.

00:11 <@hezekiah> Obviously modern CPU's don't offer really really big integer types, so C doesn't have them.

00:12 <@hezekiah> ... and crypto needs to use really big numbers.

00:12 <@hezekiah> Thus, an implementation of a "BigNum" is needed.

00:12 < Debrys> i think i got it :) thank you

00:12 <@hezekiah> Currently, we have 2 implentations of BigNum: one in SSL and one in GnuMP.

00:12 <@hezekiah> You're welcome. :)

00:12 <@hezekiah> Back to you, mids. :)

00:12 <@mids> ok

00:12 * hezekiah hands the microphone back.

00:13 <@mids> I am done on point 2

00:13 <@mids> lets go to the question round

00:13 <@mids> questions?

00:13 <@hezekiah> (oh, the irony.) ;-)

00:13 <@hezekiah> Yeah. Are we almost to 1.1 release yet?

00:14 <@hezekiah> What still needs to be done? (Besides get codeshark to make a tarball.)

00:14 <@mids> testing if files are stored in the right directories

00:14 <@mids> in every case

00:15 <@mids> hezekiah: please tell me if you did commit the -h thing, then I'll put the bug item closed

00:15 <@nop> oh hezekiah you can commit

00:15 <@nop> the -h thing

00:15 <@nop> ;)

00:15 <@hezekiah> I haven't commited the -h thing yet.

00:15 <@hezekiah> I don't know what branch to commit to. :)

00:15 <@nop> he does now ;)

00:16 <@hezekiah> Give me a minute and I

00:16 <@hezekiah> I'll update the bugfix.

00:16 < Debrys> hmm, what will be new or changed in 1.1? not too much into detail - just in general

00:16 <@hezekiah> 1. Bugfixes! :)

00:17 <@mids> 2. more bugfixe

00:17 < Debrys> lol

00:17 <@nop> debrys no major changes

00:17 < Debrys> anything which makes the connections more stable?

00:17 <@nop> just bug fixes

00:18 <@mids> Debrys: we will try that with a more minimum node.ref in the initial distribution

00:18 < Debrys> i did a.......... rather unelegant hack to the node.ref..........

00:19 < Debrys> only the invisiblenet relays.......... no update of node.ref

00:19 < Debrys> i havent ping-timeout'ed for days........

00:19 < Debrys> before of that i god disconnected in 30min intervals on average

00:20 < Debrys> but its not a very good solution :)

00:21 < Debrys> also.......... on the floppy-disk thing........

00:21 < Debrys> i asked someone if he would do a hack for me on the boxedIRC-Source......

00:22 < Debrys> if he accepts, this means i would have an 120kb IRC-Client which doesn't need any installation and saves all its settings in a ini-file on the disk

00:23 <@mids> nice

00:23 <@mids> keep us informed please

00:23 < Debrys> if this works, there will not only be IIP and a IRC-Client on the disk, but also an email-client...... and i'm trying to get a PGP-App on it too........... maybe also a messenger client :)

00:23 < Debrys> I'll do :)

00:23 < lonelynerd> sound nice.

00:23 < lonelynerd> [ sounds even. ]

00:24 <@mids> ok

00:24 <@mids> more things?

00:24 < Debrys> nope

00:25 * mids searches for his meeting-hammer

00:25 <@hezekiah> Almost got the patch up, mids.

00:25 <@mids> hurray

00:25 <@mids> *baff*

00:25 <@mids> meeting closed

00:25 <@hezekiah> lol.

00:25 < Debrys> :)

00:26 < Bouris> Hooray!

00:27 <+logger> cya next week
