Re: [fedora-arm] Fedora 14 on ARM status update
by Donald Gullett 06 Aug '11

the first rootfs i have been running on my 2 sheevaplugs since it was posted and i have scripts rolling through compiling missing packages and the like. if anyone is interested.....and i know koji is doing this already but for fun i have been compiling the source packages in the everything directory to get a full complete list of rpms. if anyone is interested or needs a specific package they are the the following address. you have to look around a little bit but i arranged them in a order to better suite my self :) http://thewebwillow.com/arm repo has f12,f13, and currently compiled f14 packages pub has Everything release and updates as per source rpms found on redhats site. As soon as alpha2 is out ill swap to that image and use that image.

Re: [fedora-arm] Weekly ARM Meeting?

Great idea. I am in Europe right now at various ARM events or I would have been there - thru the 18th please text me about this stuff. To do that, mention my nick on IRC. E.g. "jonmasters: impromptu gathering right now" would make my phones dance.

Fedora 15 on ARM status update
by Peter Robinson 05 Aug '11

05 Aug '11

HI All, To document this before I forget. In the brief meeting we discussed the current status of F-15 on ARM for both armv5tel and armv7hl (ie soft and hard float). The current status in rough order of dependency requirements is as follows: 1) patches and fixes required to rpm / yum / mock / koji [1]. We need to get fixes in for these so that we can build hardfp in the usual Fedora build method. dgilmore has patches for some of these and has said he'll file bugs for all components and reply to this mail with the details so that its all documented and other people can follow up so he doesn't block esp with his other release manager hat on. 2) build all packages required for a koji builder in mock from the same srpms plus deps in mock and create appropriate repos 2.1) hardfp (armv7hl) 2.2) softfp (armv5tel) 3) koji rootfs for both armv7 and armv5 based on the mock packages 4) seneca to configure new devices or reconfigure existing build farm for both hardfp and softfp builders 5) rebuild package set from 2 entirely in koji 6) rebuild F-15.. there's parts of both 1 and 2 complete but in particular we need to get all the bits from 1 upstream. Cheers, Peter [1] https://fedorahosted.org/koji/ticket/215

Re: [fedora-arm] Java and all its dependencies on F15
by Jon Masters 05 Aug '11

Very cool. Thanks Andrew. Enjoy your vacation :) -- Sent from my phone - message formatted and/or shortened accordingly. -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Haley [aph(a)redhat.com] Received: Friday, 05 Aug 2011, 14:34 To: arm(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Subject: [fedora-arm] Java and all its dependencies on F15 I've put everything needed for building Java at http://aph.fedorapeople.org/rpmbuild/RPMS/armv7hl/ This includes new gcc RPMs, OpenJDK itself, and a bunch of miscellaneous build dependencies. It requires glibc-2.13.90-9.1, which is available at ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/armv7hl libffi may be problematical because there is a soname bump. The build dependencies for Java packages are very complex and very circular. In order to get any further (i.e. building Eclipse) I'll need a yum repo that's stuffed with all the .noarch Java RPMs. Andrew. _______________________________________________ arm mailing list arm(a)lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/arm

F13 RPM armv5tel on armv7l
by Gordan Bobic 04 Aug '11

04 Aug '11

I'm trying to build some packages on my AC100 with F13 on it, but when I build packages they all end up being called *.armv7l.rpm even though the distro is armv5tel. Is this expected? I worked around it by doctoring my rpmrc, but it strikes me as odd that rpm would build armv7l packages if the distro is armv5tel. Gordan

libffi in F15 buildroot
by Andrew Haley 03 Aug '11

03 Aug '11

The libffi in the F15 buildroot is completely FUBAR: it doesn't work with hardfp at all. There's new RPMs at http://aph.fedorapeople.org/rpmbuild/RPMS/armv7hl/libffi-*3.0.10rc9-1.fc15.… This is cut from the development sources, so isn't a real libffi release, but is a lot better than the one you have at the moment.
