A mini root filesystem of Slackware ARM "current" is now available from
the FTP
site.
21-September-2009
I'm really pleased to announce that Slackware ARM current is now
available, and is using the EABI.
Please check the announcement in the changelog.
11-September-2009
The Slackware ARM EABI port is almost complete and is up
to date with Slackware-current (13.0) -- just waiting
for KDE to finish building.
It'll probably be another month before I upload the tree since I want
to do some in depth testing and rebuild some packages and libraries to
ensure everything is linked against what it should be, but I'm very
happy to report this progress!
31-August-2009
The ARM EABI port is coming along very quickly!
I'm currently experimenting with installing the Kernel & initrd to
the SheevaPlug's NAND flash
U-Boot's flaky USB support.
16-August-2009
Important notice: ARMedslack 12.2
JFS is not working on the SheevaPlug -- writing to a JFS formatted
filesystem produces
a Kernel panic.
Any standing JFS partitions should be mounted read-only for safety, and
an alternate
filesystem chosen.
A new installer will be available shortly.
In other news, the EABI port is going well - all of a, x, n and most of
l/ is built! :-)
13-July-2009
A few people have been asking about ARMedslack using Linux 2.6.30 when
Slackware is - at the time of writing - using 2.6.29. This is because
support for the SheevaPlug only came in 2.6.30.
05-July-2009
Work has started on an EABI port for Slackware ARM
current. Currently I'm building and upgrading the base packages in
armedslack-12.2 to bootstrap
the new port.
I expect to open a new -current branch with this work in the next few
months.
29-June-2009
Slackware ARM version 12.2 is released!
I'm really happy to finally make the release - it's been a long time in
the making.
Thanks to everybody who has helped throughout the development cycle!
The next step is to begin on the EABI port -- it'll take a while to get
a base
set of packages together for this, so a new "-current" won't be open
for some time
yet, so you have plenty of time to enjoy this release :-)
