[Fedora-sparc] Fedora 12 SPARC Status

[Dennis Gilmore]

Hey All, 

Just wanted to give a status update on where things are with F12.

Right now we need to get the latest glibc built 
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/builddir/build/BUILD/glibc-2.10-271-
gefa0569/build-sparc64-linuxnptl/debug/____longjmp_chk.o', needed by 
`/builddir/build/BUILD/glibc-2.10-271-gefa0569/build-sparc64-
linuxnptl/debug/stamp.o'.  Stop.

most arches have ____longjmp_chk.S  we need it written for sparc arches 

nss segfaults duging the test suite  this blocks xulrunner, jss and a few 
other things from building 

openoffice.org install rpmdevtools in the chroot, one thing it pulls in is 
fakeroot which doesnt build sparc64. i think Excluding sparc64 for 
Openoffice.org would be ok.

anaconda is building but will need a bit of work to work correctly. our tftp 
initrd is 14mb  we need to get it and the kernel under 10mb to be able to 
support net booting  or we need a boot loader we can load that will download 
and exec the kernel and initrd.

there is still 1700 packages that need to be rebuilt for the mass rebuild. and 
then I should be able to kick off koji-shadow to catch up whats been built 
since. all the ocaml and mono packages need to have sparc64 Excluded since 
mono wont work 64 bit and Richard Jones won't port and carry the patch adding 
sparc64 support to ocaml.

That is a quick overview of things. I have one box running that has the F-12 
tree on it.  I hope to upload the tree to the mirrors next week.  if anyone 
wants to help address some of these please do so. Or stop in #fedora-sparc and 
we can work on what needs doing.

Dennis
