Hello,
the hardfp floating point ABI for ARM will be made default and
mandatory for MeeGo 1.2 and later. This decision was made and approved
back in December 2010 in the MeeGo TSG and the impact has been
described in MeeGo wiki [1].
The hardfp scheduler is called armv8el and is up and running in MeeGo
Trunk.
This change introduces an ABI break with MeeGo 1.1. The hardfp ABI is
not compatible with the softfp ABI and because of this the packages
produced by the armv8el scheduler have the architecture name .armv7hl.
They cannot be installed in an armv7l system and vice versa.
If you or your company run into problems with this changeover, feel
free to seek help from #meego-arm @ freenode IRC channel or from the
meego-porting mailing list [2].
If you need to use closed source binaries from your hardware vendor,
please contact them to get a hardfp build of those binaries.
The softfp armv7el scheduler in MeeGo Trunk will be stopped at the end
of April 2011.

Hi,
Now when the armv7el is going to be removed it is important that
maintainers of devel: projects in the OBS add the armv8el scheduler to
their projects.
