03:27.34wreahewball, got all the problems with dbus and avahi fixed now. Have 3 mdns devices on my network now
03:29.59hewballnice work
03:30.44wreaI also 'tried' backporting raop to 0.9.14 :P
03:36.04hewballseeing as i cant buy the itunes remote app that would come in handy on my pre3
03:38.24wreawell, you're golden anyway
03:38.37wreathe pre3 uses the same pulse version as the tp
03:39.35hewballoh sweet, didnt realise that
03:39.53wreaThe backporting would be for the Veer and Pre2
03:40.29wreaBackporting the changes with rtp was easy, but once I got to raop-sink it used a lot of updated api which would require someone more capable than me
04:00.21Saijin_NaibCan anyone help me decipher the legality of a patch I've made
04:00.44wreaSure
04:00.58Saijin_NaibI was on last night talking to you I think
04:01.20wreayeah
04:01.21Saijin_Naibin any case, I've managed to make the Pre 3 version of the HP App Store live alongside the webOS 1.4.5 version without any issue, and across reboots
04:01.27Saijin_NaibI've even purchased apps with it so I know it works :D
04:02.19grep_a|awayI don't remember any EULA for the hp app store
04:02.36wreathere is one
04:02.37Saijin_NaibMy problem is two-fold. Firstly, what is the legality of what I've done? Secondly, how can I distribute this so other 1.x users can take advantage of Promo Codes
04:02.46Saijin_NaibYes, there is. It shows the first time you enter the appstore
04:02.53grep_a|awayah, my bad
04:03.08Saijin_NaibI didnt read it, it was in my way at the time :P
04:03.42grep_a|awayme either… most apparently
04:03.56wreawell, i assume you'd have to distribute the software of the other app catalog
04:04.05rwhitbySaijin_Naib: you can distribute a patch, but not the actual Pre 3 ipkg
04:04.27wreayeah
04:04.34Saijin_NaibOkay, I'm not sure how I'd do that. I'm really not good at this stuff, I sort of brute-forced this into working.
04:04.48Saijin_NaibWould you be able to tell me if it is possible for this to be a patch and not an IPK?
04:05.16rwhitbya patch is a diff to a file, not a file in itself.
04:05.37rwhitbyif you're distributing complete files, you'll be in violation of the copyright on those HP files.
04:06.01Saijin_NaibO_o
04:06.03Saijin_Naibok
04:07.01rwhitbyThe EULA allows you to use the files on any webOS device, but does not allow you to redistribute them.
04:07.44rwhitbySo an end-user copying the files from their Pre 3 to their Pixi is fine. An end-user putting those files on mediafire.com is illegal.
04:08.07Saijin_Naibso somehow I'd need to make a thing that grabs the ipk file from the pre3 ROM, changes the appid in the appinfo.json, and changes the target directory of the IPK
04:08.10Saijin_Naibis that a patchable thing?
04:08.32cryptksure
04:08.40cryptkwell, kinda
04:09.05rwhitbya patch is a diff to a file
04:09.06rwhitbywhat you just said is not a diff to a file
04:09.14Saijin_Naibwhat is what I did?
04:09.14cryptkyeah
04:09.24cryptkit is something that can be made, but not with a patch
04:09.48cryptknow you could possibly do it with an ipk with a customized postinst script, as long as there is a way to get the Pre3 version of the App Cat
04:09.55cryptkas in, a way to get it from HP
04:10.00Saijin_Naibits from the doctor
04:10.16cryptkyou could just write up good instructions on how to do it with the meta doctor
04:10.18Saijin_Naibits just buried in there and needs to be extracted to have some stuff edited
04:10.39Saijin_NaibI didnt use metadoctor, its something that can be done on-line from Internalz
04:10.39cryptktake the meta doc, make unpack both doctors, copy stuff around, make pack, install
04:10.47cryptkbut that isn't an IPK either...
04:10.59Saijin_Naibno, for me it is :P Thats how I've stored it
04:11.07Saijin_Naibso would this be something useful you guys would want?
04:11.08cryptkyou may be stuck with just having to do a good set of instructions
04:11.22cryptkare you just isntalling the Pre3 app cat IPK on a 1.4.5 device?
04:11.28rwhitbySaijin_Naib: we have no more rights to distribute a HP ipk than you have
04:11.29Saijin_NaibI'm fine with that, I want it to be legal. Ideally, I want it to be as simple for the end-user as possible but I cant program so I can't make that happen :C
04:11.48Saijin_NaibYeah, installing it but different from the way its done now so it stays resident across reboots
04:11.52rwhitbyput the instructions on a wiki page
04:11.54cryptkyou would write up a wiki article on how to do it
04:11.58cryptklol, jinx
04:11.59Saijin_Naibrwhitby, I was referencing more the instructions being something you'd want to have
04:12.13cryptksure
04:12.26rwhitbyknowledge shared is always good. that's why we have www.webos-internals.org
04:12.26Saijin_NaibI also have some patches to PreWare patches I want to submit
04:12.29Saijin_NaibThey're somewhat broken
04:12.32cryptkanything that involves making a webOS device do something "not stock" is good to have on the wiki
04:12.47cryptkwhat do the patches do?
04:12.53rwhitbySaijin_Naib: have you contacted the authors of those patches with your fixes?
04:13.04Saijin_NaibNot yet, I have to make the patches to them tonight.
04:13.27Saijin_NaibOne is dark system devices. It fails to install because its looking to patch the old GOogle Maps app, not the Bing one. It simply needs to have that one line removed
04:13.35rwhitbythe authors will prefer them as replacement patches, rather than patches to patches
04:13.47Saijin_NaibThe other is the patch that makes the incoming/outgoing message bubbles show in the Messaging app on the overview page
04:13.51cryptkstep one would be to contact the maintainer of the patch.  If you can't get ahold of them, you can always just submit the update yourself through our patches portal
04:13.54cryptkpatches.webos-internals.org
04:14.30Saijin_NaibThat patch works fine, but it introduces a minor UI glitch. webOS doesn't have a pressed state chat bubble for the Green chat bubble. I just want to add that file and line to the patch
04:14.31rwhitbyinclude a note to say how and when you attempted to contact the original author.
04:14.33*** join/#webos-internals VICODANAX (Dan@unaffiliated/vicodan)
04:15.02rwhitbyeach patch usually has a forum thread where you can find the author and discuss your proposed change to the patch with it's existing user base
04:15.49Saijin_NaibOkay, I'll go that route then. They'd be better for it than me anyway :D
04:16.02rwhitbymost of them started the same way
04:18.10Saijin_Naibwhere should i put the webos 2.x appstore instruction wiki?
04:22.47cryptksomewhere on www.webos-internals.org
04:22.51cryptkcome up with a good name for the page
04:23.10Saijin_Naibdoes it belong here?
04:23.11Saijin_Naibhttp://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Portal:Patches_to_webOS
04:24.50Saijin_NaibI don't get wikis, I find them obtuse so I really have no idea where it should go
04:25.39VICODANAXsup rwhitby
04:25.40VICODANAXhow are things
04:26.33rwhitbySaijin_Naib: add a page under http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Portal:Research
04:26.47Saijin_NaibThanks rwhitby. I will do so
04:31.03Saijin_NaibI do not have permission to make edits
04:32.52dwc-they'll need your wiki login to fix that
04:33.13Saijin_NaibSaijin_Naib, same as here
04:33.18Saijin_Naibwho is the "they"? :P
04:33.39rwhitbySaijin_Naib: try now
04:33.44dwc-they = cryptk or rwhitby or whoever else is around that has access to fix that
04:34.19cryptkSaijin_Naib, did you sign up for an account on the wiki and confirm your email address?
04:34.34Saijin_NaibThanks rwhitby!
04:34.48Saijin_NaibCryptk, yep, did that just a few minutes ago. Rod fixed that up for me :)
04:34.55cryptkahh, ok
04:35.10Saijin_NaibI'm submitting my patch tweak to Warlord for Dark System Devices first, and then I'll write up that wiki. I want to make sure I have lots of good screenshots
04:35.37Saijin_NaibI want to make it automated but I can't so I jsut have to document properly. Ah well, its a 5 minute process. Not the end of the world

04:50.14wrea_output doesnt work though

05:43.08Saijin_Naibis ANSI encoding wrong for webOS patches?
05:48.15dukiedrewIt seems no matter the value of "encoding" that I put, I get the same results
05:56.44*** join/#webos-internals dgathright (~dgathrigh@c-67-169-92-165.hsd1.ca.comcast.net)
05:57.51dwc-"encoding" in what context
05:59.49dukiedrewHey, so one of the patch's main changes was to add an encoding args
06:00.23dukiedrewie for bluetooth read, this is in the command.js file: var result = assistant.readData(args.instanceId,args.dataLength,future,args.encoding||"utf8");
06:02.20dukiedrewand so that goes to the assistant, where there is this line:
06:02.47dukiedrewfs.read( rxHandle, dataLength , null , encoding , function( err , str , bytesRead ){
06:03.28dukiedrewyet the documentation for fs.read is confusing: http://nodejs.org/docs/v0.4.12/api/fs.html
06:03.42dukiedrewfs.read(fd, buffer, offset, length, position, [callback])
06:03.52dukiedrewwhy is encoding in the "length" place?
