Re: [fedora-arm] Fedora 14 on ARM status update
by Donald Gullett
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?
by Jon Masters
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.
Jon.

Hi All,syn
The Seneca crew, dgilmore, myself and others had a quick impromptu meeting
this afternoon to discuss the status of all the various bits of ARM so we
could all be aligned.
It was discussed whether it might not be a good idea to have a quick weekly
meeting to ensure people are somewhat in sync. I've created an initial When
is Good to try and work out a time.

Fedora 15 on ARM status update
by Peter Robinson
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

Re: [fedora-arm] Java and all its dependencies on F15

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.

F13 RPM armv5tel on armv7l
by Gordan Bobic
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.
