Hello!
I work with package porting to ppc64le and I am currently working on pixman.
Although the package compiles on the aforementioned architecture, the tests
fail.
Hello. Thanks for contacting us. This issue looks very much like
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87001
Indeed, much probably the same I get here.
At that time it was not very clear whether such hardware really existed
in the hands of the end users. And the reporter did not seem to be very
much interested in resolving it.
Yes, I think it was more of a rush to get it to build on ppc64le (Breno and I
were still working on making Debian support ppc64le officially).
What should be the best way to send that patch?
This is explained in the 'Contributing' and 'Sending patches'
sections of
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/pixman/plain/README
All right, I will take a look.
It may take a bit of time to get familiar with this if you have no
prior experience with git. But on a positive side, many other open
source projects handle patches in the same way, so it's a generally
useful knowledge.
I couldn't agree more. Will try to make it right at first try :)
I appreciate any help on this.
Also before you send the patch, please pay special attention to making
sure that the Altivec code still works correctly (passes the 'make
check' test) with all the PPC flavours (big and little endian, 32-bit
and 64-bit mode). And please mention this in the commit message.
Roger that.
Thank you!
