NSLU2 question
by Adam Miller 26 May '09

26 May '09

I purchased a NSLU2 a couple months ago with hopes to hack on OpenWRT on it, but as I look around the net more it appears that distros such as debian, gentoo, and ubuntu, also the BSDs -> netbsd and freebsd are running on the NSLU2. I was curious if anyone has had any success running Fedora on the NSLU2 and if so, might there be any documentation on doing so?

Bugzilla Setup on Sheeva Plug/Fedora-ARM
by Salil Kanitkar 26 May '09

26 May '09

Hi all, I was able to setup a Bugzilla server on the f-10 file system. Bugzilla because it covers a set of dependencies - perl,mysql,cgi based web server etc. Thanks to yum, it turned out to be a straight-foward task. :-) The basic steps etc. , I've put up on the openplug wiki - http://openplug.org/plugwiki/index.php/How_to_set_up_Bugzilla_on_Sheeva_Plu… Regards, Salil

qt: timeout too low?
by Rex Dieter 18 May '09

18 May '09

I took a look to see if I could help out getting the qt/kde stack built for arm, and notice qt build failed. http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=12543 Scary, but it took over 24 hours, and koji or mock aborted the build when it was ~%95 done. I would venture to guess that the 24hr timeout may need to be increased to get some largish pkgs to build here (like qt, or openoffice). Or is there any other advice, comment to help here? -- Rex

access to ARM machine
by Adam Goode 17 May '09

17 May '09

Hi, I am running some floating point benchmarks to determine the overhead in changing some stuff around in how gcc/glibc do floating point to address the issues here: http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-ports/2009-04/msg00019.html http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-ports/2009-04/msg00022.html Right now, I am trying to measure the overhead of running a floating point benchmark with shared-libgcc vs. static-libgcc. Can I have access to a real ARM machine running Fedora? I am not sure if QEMU is totally accurate in these benchmarks. Thanks, Adam

Where/How am I able to get access to the fedora arm build system as well as the fedora-arm-cvs (assuming it is also a separate system).

Koji builds and Contributions
by Kedar Sovani 15 May '09

15 May '09

As mentioned earlier a lot of koji build activity can be seen at the ARM koji server. (http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji) The goal is to be as close to the Fedora releases as possible. And F-11 is the upcoming release. The set of supported packages is growing. Although we'll try to make sure that the Fedora repositories just build with ARM out of the box, as packages move forward there will be few breakages. Any contributions for this effort are welcome. Currently, the following types of builds are taking place: * Packages are being "shadowed" (using koji-shadow) from dist-f11 upstream * New packages are being built for dist-f10 * New versions are being built for dist-f10-updates As we go through these build iterations, quite a few builds will fail. The failure could be a genuine failure requiring a patch, or a failure because of build ordering. The failed tasks can be looked at from the koji interface. Feel free to send out patches to fedora-arm(a)redhat.com and then to respective package maintainers for fixing build failures. You could also help in analyzing or fixing build ordering related issues with your Fedora koji accounts. Kedar.

Build Failure: coreutils
by Kedar Sovani 12 May '09

12 May '09

Coreutils fails to build because the sha384sum and sha512sum tests fail? Here is the koji log: http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=30965&name=build.log&… Anyone seen that before? Kedar.

Fedora packages for the ARMv7 instruction set
by Ilyes Gouta 06 May '09

06 May '09

Hi, Is there any plan to provide Fedora packages built for the ARMv7 architecture? ARMv5TE looks a bit old but still ensures the compatibility with older ARM cores. However the ARMv7 instruction set improves a lot (compared to ARMv6) by adding support for the novel NEON instructions and updated VFP3, and I think that it really worth the shot. After all, it's all about setting up a new Qemu VM with a properly configured GCC compiler for the ARMv7 profile, right? Regards, Ilyes Gouta.
