FYI,

Oracle developers have been working on Sparc Linux (as some may have 
noticed from lkml commits).  We've just made an initial cut of this 
available publicly, for the purposes of sharing it with the wider 
community.


See https://oss.oracle.com/projects/linux-sparc/

There are some mailing lists, a git repo, installable distro etc.

I hope that some of this work will be useful to the Debian project, and 
please feel free to provide us with feedback.


Good to hear and thanks for the update.

Re: Bug#790556: systemctl crashes, systemd setup fails

2015-10-08 Thread John Paul Adrian Glaubitz
Hello!

This has been recently fixed upstream in binutils. So rebuilding the
systemd package with the patched version of binutils should fix this
issue! There is a second binutils bug which still results in a
partially broken systemd package though [1].

@Matthias: Could you please backport the patch from trunk? It's filed
   as PR ld/18855 [2].

Cheers,

Adrian
