Access to an ARM system?
Does someone have an ARM system that I could gain access to? I'd really like to put the ARM specific bug[1] filed against the Jabber package to bed once and for all. I've seen reports of Jabber running on ARM systems and of course the bug report of it segfaulting. Any assistance in this matter would be most appreciated. I've sent a request to debian-admin, but have heard nothing back from them. -- Jamin W.

What is it you are trying to do?

What is it you are trying to do? Ideally, get an installation of Jabber (from the debian package binaries) to run and accept a client connection. According to the bug report, the Jabber server segfaults on startup. So, if I can get the server up and running and connect to it, I'd consider that something of a success. -- Jamin W.

So, you want the Jabber server installed on an ARM system so that you can connect to it and either a) verify that it crashes, or b) demonstrate that it doesn't. If this is so, then I can do this for you and give you a routable address to the ARM machine. Do you need to be able to do anything *on* the ARM? I think I can get ssh and some other utilities running on it. Still, let me be clear. I am using a Sharp KEV7A400 for some embedded systems development. I have a script that produces stripped-down filesystems for the target using the Debian package archive. It isn't hard for me to add programs to the filesystem, but I need to know exactly what has to be there since this isn't exactly an 'apt-get install' situation. Let me know and I'll put some cycles to it. Cheers.

That's about the size of it. If this is so, then I can do this for you and give you a routable address to the ARM machine. Do you need to be able to do anything *on* the ARM? I think I can get ssh and some other utilities running on it. Only if it crashes. Then I might need strace and maybe build dependancies to try a new build with pth2. However, these can also probably be worked around. Still, let me be clear. I am using a Sharp KEV7A400 for some embedded systems development.

Well, simply adding the Jabber package and seeing if it will start on the system should be enough. Shouldn't need to change any config files for the test. Once it's running I'd simply need an IP that I can connect to port 5222 on to send some tests. -- Jamin W. Collins Remember, root always has a loaded gun.
