Re: Deterministic builds

2013-09-23 Thread Steven Chamberlain
Hi,

Something we can also do, which I hadn't thought of until now, is to
compare kernel images built on kfreebsd-amd64 vs. on linux amd64.  An
obvious difference is the ELF header:

 kfreebsd-amd64/boot/kfreebsd-9.2-1-amd64: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, 
 version 1 (FreeBSD), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped
 amd64/boot/kfreebsd-9.2-1-amd64: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 
 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped

Maybe we ought to override that when building on non-FreeBSD?
$ elfedit --output-osabi=FreeBSD boot/kfreebsd-9.2-1-amd64

Also there are some other differences, possibly explained by GCC package
revision being different for each build, otherwise we could speculate
it's a secret backdoor compiled into Robert's binary upload ;)

Bug#724325: xserver-xorg-video-nv: FTBFS against xserver 1.14

2013-09-23 Thread Julien Cristau
Source: xserver-xorg-video-nv
Version: 1:2.1.20-1
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)

Hi,

your package needs to be rebuilt against xorg-server 1.14.  That
most likely means pulling in a couple changes from upstream git HEAD.

Cheers,
Julien

Re: Roll call for porters of architectures in sid and testing (Status update)

2013-09-23 Thread Martin Lucina
Hi,

b...@decadent.org.uk said:
  I've also provided a couple of kernel patches in the past. I'm cross
  testing with Gentoo to ensure that bugs I report are Debian-specific
  or ia64-generic.
  
  I'll continue testing/software development activity on ia64 for the
  Jessie cycle, and more generally, until Debian drops ia64. I'm already
  waiting for Wayland on ia64 and other big updates.
  
  So please, keep ia64 in the bandwagon ;-)
 
 But I don't think ia64 is well-supported even in wheezy.  The kernel
 doesn't boot on some common machines and no-one seems to be able to fix
 it.

I'm the most recent person to report that bug. Unfortunately I run a sole
ia64 box in a production setting and I only have physical access to it
during business hours (and no management card) which makes experimenting
with kernels difficult.

I would be more than happy to sign up as a porter for ia64 however I would
need to obtain more hardware. HP rx1620s can be had on eBay for $100 but
they are located in California and shipping + customs to Slovakia is not
worth it :-/

If someone is willing to donate hardware, or knows of a cheap source of
ia64 hardware in Europe I'm more than happy to host it here, maintain it,
provide access to developers, and time permitting test and and help
diagnose ia64-specific problems with the base system for the lifetime of
the jessie release.

I am also a long-time Debian user (10 years, mostly x86/amd64, alpha in
the past, some arm work and ia64 from the time I've had this hardware). I
am not a DD/DM but have experience as a package maintainer via sponsorship
in the past.

Martin
