mithroNope!00:18
CarlFKmithro: do you want build-qemu.sh indented with tabs or spaces?00:20
mithroCarlFK: Whatever is consistent with the current file?00:21
CarlFKmithro: um.. I'm not sure.  I thought it was tabs, but when I changed all my 4x spaces to tabs it got a bunch of other lines00:22
CarlFKmithro: changing tabs to 4 spaces is showing even more in the diff00:23
shorneCarlFK: yeah, that issue #43 is the right one.00:23
shorneCarlFK: the verb for what we are doing is something like forward-porting patches, or rebasing on latest master00:24

mithrocr1901_modern: Why do you end up with between your title and description on your pull requests?01:18
cr1901_modernB/c that's the default behavior of Github when you click the green "Compare and pull request" button01:18

mithrocr1901_modern: but it never seems to happen to my pull requests?01:46
cr1901_modernWhen you push a branch to Github and you go to the repo page for your fork, GH will show you a "you recently pushed branches" dialog on the webpage. If you click the green "Compare and pull request button" >>01:48
cr1901_modernGH will send you to the "create pull request" page with the title filled in as the commit message if it's a single commit (idk if it works for multiple commits)01:49
cr1901_modernIf the title gets too long, GH will truncate your commit message and put it in the description01:49
cr1901_modernI did it just to save time b/c I felt the commit message was self-explanatory01:50
cr1901_modernshould I change it?01:50

cr1901_modernmithro: Close to getting tinyfpga to boot the litex-buildenv firmware, but the sram section runs out of space. 10kB sram does not appear to be enough to boot the stock firmware- needs about 14kB, and that's not including the stack pointer06:15
