[gentoo-dev] [news item review] sys-devel/kgcc64 removal on sparc

2014-11-11 Thread Raúl Porcel
Hi,

Please have a look at the following news item.

Thanks!

Title: sys-devel/kgcc64 removal on sparc
Author: Raúl Porcel armi...@gentoo.org
Content-Type: text/plain
Posted: 2014-11-11
Revision: 1
News-Item-Format: 1.0
Display-If-Profile: default/linux/sparc

sys-devel/kgcc64 is going to be removed from the sparc system package set
since the normal sys-devel/gcc can, since version 4.4, build 64bit kernels.

Until now, you had to use CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE=sparc64-unknown-linux-gnu-
in your kernel configuration, but with sys-devel/kgcc64 going away, you
need to
remove that option.

 Also, if an arch team does that, does that mean we don't have to file

 When armin did stabilisation for minor archs in the past, he took the
 opportunity to evaluate whether it was still useful to have the package
 stable. In many cases for small random packages, stable keywords were
 dropped to reduce future workload. I always thought it was a pretty good
 strategy.
 
 

Indeed! The thing was that a lot of the packages were keyworded and
marked stable back in the day where the arch was more popular.

But almost all arches except amd64/x86/arm are getting less and less
popular:

alpha: no new hardware in more than 8+ years
hppa: being phased out IIRC, and no new workstations(ie, graphics/sound)
in 5+ years
ia64: no new workstations in 10 years, new servers are expensive
ppc*: new workstations are expensive
sparc: no new workstations in 7+ years, new servers expensive

One of the reasons they are being killed, IMHO, its that the power
consumption isn't worth, and an amd64 machine is pretty much more
powerful, has more cores, and cheaper and has a lot less power consumption.

My Sun Blade 1000 (workstation) uses 225W idling, my amd64 workstation
uses 100W at full power or so. And the amd64 has way more cores and more
performance. And let's not talk about the heat...

Besides there's software like firefox and gnome3 that doesn't work in
sparc due to unaligned accesses.

Debian announced some months ago that they're dropping sparc support as
well. Right now debian doesn't support, officially, alpha, hppa and sparc.

Obviously ppc* has a lot of work because its the most keyworded arch
behind amd64 and x86.

 In the last time I'm helping some other arches (also arches which I have no

 Days ago, I tried to make a virtual machine with qemu, for SH since the dev-
 machine[1] is a bit slow; well, I discovered we have no ISO[2] available and 
 there is no handbook[3] for it.
 
 The same thing is for S390/S390X/M68K/. So how I am able to install one of 
 that _supported_ arches if there isn't any sort of guide?
 

Like ARM, most SH devices don't have a CDROM drive, so thats why there's
no ISO. Like I told you, the way to install onto those kind of machines
is either tftpbooting or putting the disk into another machine and
configure it from there. I've installed all my ARM and SH machines using
the latter.

The reason for not having a manual is like ARM, there are specific
boards which require different configurations, kernels, bootloaders,
etc. Same reason as why there's no ISO, some boards couldn't even boot
from the CDROM, and you'll need a kernel for each board, etc...

I've always thought that whoever has a SH board, m68k, or access to a
s390 machine, and wants to use Gentoo, is smart enough to do it by itself.

Re: [gentoo-dev] [RFC] Changing default serial-console definition in inittab

On 04/27/2012 07:29 PM, Diego Elio Pettenò wrote:
 Since I've been configuring a couple of systems lately for remote
 access, which include configuring the serial console, I'm wondering if
 it would be a good idea to change our inittab so that the default
 (commented out) definition of the serial consoles is a bit more.. modern.
 
 The current definition sets the console at 9600 baud, using vt100
 emulation; I think most of us who configure it, do so at 115200 baud,
 and some prefer vt-utf8 over vt100 (the two are partially compatible as
 far as I can tell).
 
 Of the two systems I've configured ­– a SuperMicro server which is the
 new tinderbox host, and an HP for work – both have the default IPMI
 configuration for Serial-over-LAN set at 115200, and the HP also had
 VT-UTF8 by default for emulation (SuperMicro defaulted to vt100 but
 still allows utf8).
 
 Comments?
 

I wouldn't mind for amd64/x86.

There haven't been any new alpha/hppa systems in years, and the default
for them was 9600. All the cheap(and therefore common) sparc hardware
uses 9600 as we're talking about systems 10 years old. On ia64, from
what i've had access to in the last years, it used 9600 as well.
m68k/s390/sh are very exotic arches and 9600 is a safe default.

I'm providing this info as member of the teams of those architectures
i've mentioned(except hppa). I have no clue about mips or ppc* systems.

On the other hand, maybe it could be changed on arm to 115200, as all
the devices i have use that speed. Although some use a non-standard
serial port(ttyO{0,2} for OMAP devices, ttymxc0 for FSL i.mx devices).





[gentoo-dev] [RFC] subprofiles for ARM architecture

2011-08-07 Thread Raúl Porcel
Hi,

The other day Markus(maekke) found an issue i encountered two years ago.
An app supports only a subarchitecture of the ARM architecture.

For those that don't know the ARM architecture, its an architecture
which is mostly used on embedded and/or mobile devices(cell phones,
mostly), also there's now some stuff called smartbooks(Efika MX
smartbook, Asus Transformer, etc...) and smarttops(Efika MX smarttop).

The problem is that during the history of the ARM architecture(according
to the wikipedia, the architecture was introduced back in 1981) there
has been some subarchitectures(the most available are armv4, armv4t,
armv5t, armv6j and armv7-a) which include new functions that is not
available on the previous subarchitecture. Something like SSE, SSE2,
SSE3, etc... but in arm is called SIMD, NEON, etc...

Apart from that, there are some apps that only work in one
subarchitecture because it uses some capabilities only available on that
subarchitecture and newer. Which is the case of valgrind. It only works
with armv7-a. Also there's www-client/chromium, which later versions
only work on =armv6j.

With subprofiles we could keyword such packages, mask them globally on
arm and unmask it on the subprofile of the subarchitecture that supports it.

We build stage3s for the armv4t, armv5te, armv6j, armv7a
subarchitectures, and we'll make them use the profiles.

Thanks

[gentoo-dev] ARM profiles stable again

Hello,

this announcement is mainly for Gentoo developers: ARM profiles are

[gentoo-dev] Please stop requesting keywords for arches you don't have

2009-07-12 Thread Raúl Porcel
Hi guys,

Since there is always new people joining Gentoo, many of these people
tend to open keyword requests for a lot of arches on a package they
maintain or they are interested in until me or any other member of
alternative arches scream to them :) .

As a member of many of the alternative
arches(alpha/arm/ia64/s390/sh/sparc) and considering the members of the
other arches(hppa, mips, ppc*) also concur with me, i'd like to remind
that opening such bugs is not fun for us. Why? Simple, we're mainly
undermanned arches, some of them are slow, some of them have more basic
problems(latest glibc breaks system and stuff), we have a small userbase
compared with amd64/x86, and we(i'm talking about my arches now) prefer
to keyword something if an user of our arch has tested it(which saves us
some work) and it's going to be useful for him or for new users of that
arch(for example the ARM architecture).

If we keyword your package and maybe later stabilize it, you're going to
be mad at us when you request a new version marked stable, or when you
need rekeywording, because we'll be slow in doing so. Just file bugs
when a package is going to be a dependency of a package we already have
keyworded.

Also, *STOP* dropping keywords when a new dependency isn't keyworded
without filing a bug for that architecture.

Thank you

[gentoo-dev] Reminder about touching profiles

2008-11-10 Thread Raúl Porcel
Please, when you need to touch a profile, remember to do it on both
2007.0 and 2008.0 profiles.

The files you need to touch are in:
arch/$ARCH
default-linux/$ARCH

Stop using default/linux/$ARCH unless you need to touch an specific
version of the profile, in that case it would be
default/linux/$ARCH/$VERSION , but if it affects the full arch, and not
just a version, please add the stuff to arch/$ARCH. (I'm talking about
2008.0+ profiles)

So, remember:
If you want to mask something, do it on both of those dirs, and only on
those.

Thanks

Yes.  Last time I looked anyone could request a keyword.


IMHO the packages should be keyworded if an arch team member or an
user of that arch requests it. Keywording something if an user of
said arch doesn't request it, is a waste of resources.


How is making things available to your users a waste of resources?
Anyways, if you're so far behind that you don't think you can manage
keywording another package then just say so and deny the request.

What does this have to do with council?



And whats the point of having some package keyworded if nobody is going 
to use it?
I don't care anyway, i just want an official clarification, personally i 
tend to keyword stuff if i think its going to be useful.


Thing is, whats the difference in a maintainer asking for a package to 
be keyworded and keywording all the packages in the tree?

FYI this will be finally slotted. Turns out it couldn't be slotted

But since 99% of the stuff that depends on xulrunner-1.8 won't work with

Thanks for the wisdom of asking about this, Raul.  Given the way you

you might have expected.


Unslotted xulrunner seems to be the consensus, so we aren't committing to 
forever maintain patches ourselves -- on a package-base that may well 
expand over time.


Some questions.  What's the possibility of getting upstream to handle the 
renaming, thereby making slotting much easier while eliminating the 
eternal patch commitment?  Has the issue even been brought up with 
mozilla-upstream?  I know they aren't always the most receptive to 
community suggestions, but it's worth asking, anyway.


How many packages are we talking about?  Regardless of how we go, fixing 
ten is going to be far easier than a hundred, or five hundred.




Upstream won't do that...so i guess this means xulrunner gets unslotted :)

[gentoo-dev] [RFC] net-libs/xulrunner-1.9 slotting or not?

2008-03-15 Thread Raúl Porcel
Okay, so here's the thing: Firefox 3 will be released probably some time 
during this year, as you probably know, they released a few days ago 
beta4 and beta5 will be out probably at the start of the next month or 
so. I started doing ebuilds for net-libs/xulrunner-1.9 and 
www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.0 in the mozilla overlay [1] since november 
2007, mainly thanks to Gergan Penkov's patches on his overlay, info 
available on the forums [2], which i've been adjusting them to do static 
releases and not livecvs ebuilds like he does.


So, firefox-3, seamonkey-2, thunderbird-3 and other mozilla products 
will be using xulrunner-1.9, which is the codebase the mozilla products 
are based on. In fact, everytime you emerge any of those apps, you're 
compiling xulrunner, which takes 90% of the time to build. The good 
thing about those new versions, is that they'll be capable of using the 
xulrunner library installed of the system. So you only have to build 
xulrunner once, and you could build firefox-3, seamonkey-2, 
thunderbird-3 against it, and firefox-3 takes less than two minutes to 
build with shared xulrunner.


Since firefox-3 seems usable now, i was thinking on adding it to the 
tree, however that'll need to add net-libs/xulrunner-1.9. Some apps use 
xulrunner at the moment[3], instead of building against firefox or 
thunderbird or seamonkey. Xulrunner is not mandatory to build firefox-3, 
in fact you can build firefox only with the current ebuilds in the overlay.


Xulrunner-1.9 is a big change, and the apps using it won't work until 
they are fixed. So this needs to be decided, i've been working on 
slotting xulrunner, and i'm ready to put it in the tree. However i'd 
like to see what developers(since they will be the ones who will have to 
deal with this) and users prefer. Even if an app is compatible with 
xulrunner-1.9, it will have to be patched if we slot xulrunner. Since

with current xulrunner-1.8.
The other approach would be not slotting it, p.mask xulrunner-1.9 and 
wait until all the packages work against it and then unmask.
That's what i would like to hear opinions about. Should we slot it, or 
should we not slot it and wait until all the apps are fixed?


Obviously, not slotting it will require to wait until upstream or a 
developer patches the app to work with xulrunner-1.9.


--

On the other hand, you won't be able to use firefox-3, seamonkey-2, 
thunderbird-3 to build an app against, since what the apps needs is 
xulrunner, not firefox or seamonkey.
So whatever is decided, please start fixing your ebuilds that use 
firefox, xulrunner, seamonkey or thunderbird, to stick the DEPEND to 
www-client/mozilla-firefox-3,www-client/seamonkey-2,net-libs/xulrunner-1.9, 
mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird-3 ASAP.

I want to propose to the council to talk about the amd64 arch team and 
its big bug list [1] considering they are the most staffed arch team.


They have some bugs that are more than a month old and they are the last 
arch. Same for security bugs, and i think amd64 is an important arch and 
has a lot of users, and ATs. x86 doesn't have any AT active and we only 
have less than 10 bugs, amd64 has 144 bugs, and i'm talking about bugs 
with STABLEREQ keywords, just look at [1].


So it would be cool if they accepted help from other devs who don't have 
 an amd64 system but have access to one and can test stuff. Cla is 
willing to help.


There's even a bug that is a blocker...

Hope you're not referring to any of my arches because that's not true :) 
In fact, if i did that, i wouldn't crash the alpha dev box so often,

I dunno - I just hit bug 211021 today while trying to clean out old
bugs.  Already stable on one arch and not a word from the maintainer.

I do agree with many of the posts in this thread by others - a big issue
is manpower.  However, I did want to mention that stabling packages
without input from maintainers seems to be a moderately-common practice.


I've never seen that, unless the maintainer doesn't respond, like in 
this case, humpback has been ignoring his bugs for a long time, like 
other devs(unfortunately). Maybe the council should talk about that: 
devs ignoring his bugs for months, but i don't know how would they 
enforce that.


What i've seen is some bugs where the arches were cc'ed by users or by a 
developer, but in this case, someone of the arch team that knows that 
the dev is active, just uncc's all the arches until the maintainer 
responds, but in this case, humpback didn't say anything about the 
previous tor stabilization request for months. So you should be glad 
someone active like Christian, took over the maintenance and he is 
responsible if something goes wrong with the stabilization.



 I'm sure the arch team leaders would welcome help if it were offered,
but it is more important that packages keyworded stable actually work
than for the latest-and-greatest package to be marked stable.
Interested users can volunteer to be ATs as well - in my past experience
as an AT when I keyworded a bug STABLE I could expect to see it
committed by a dev within a few hours.


IIRC you are from the blubb era, i'm i right? Blubb did a really god job 
with amd64, and in fact amd64 started 'slacking' since blubb left. 
Unfortunately that doesn't work anymore, in a lot of bugs i've seen an 
AT of yours posting his results, when i was going to do my arches. So i 
was more faster even that i have no ATs.


And look at x86, we don't have any ATs, god, we even had some that moved 
to amd64! drac, mlangc, etc etc.

For example, bug 205242. Look, its mlangc! :P


While amd64 is a lot more mainstream than it used to be you can't just
assume that upstream wouldn't have released something if it didn't work
perfectly on amd64.



Indeed, but on x86 we don't assume it either :) I don't understand how 
you having so many users, have manpower problems, you have two channels 
on IRC, x86 only has one and nobody says anything.

It's just a though, i'm not blaming anyone.

Re: [gentoo-dev] *DEVELOPMENT* mail list, right?

2007-06-08 Thread Raúl Porcel
In mozilla herd:
During the last month and during the first day of the month we did:
-Stabilize mozilla-thunderbird-2.0.0.0
-Bump new versions fixing security bugs:
  -mozilla-firefox[-bin]-2.0.0.4 and 1.5.0.12, although we didn't put
1.5.0.12 on the tree as it is unsupported
  -mozilla-thunderbird[-bin]-1.5.0.12, 2.0.0.4 will be released in the
next weeks
  -seamonkey[-bin]-1.1.2 and 1.0.9, but we didn't put 1.0.9 as almost
all arches(except arm) have the 1.1 series stabilized

In treecleaners herd:
We've been doing the same work as always, i think we only p.masked one
package for removal, and yesterday i did the monthly cleanup we do 2
months after a package is p.masked for removal

net-p2p,net-irc:
Doing version bumps and fix little bugs as always.

ia64,x86:
Stabilizing newer versions as always, stabilized gcc-4.1.2 and glibc-2.5-r3

alpha:
On alpha we've taken a big step forward, we have some users who can test
hardware-related things and they are _really_ useful(hi grknight and
Blackb|rd). We stabilized kernel-2.6.21 yesterday as older versions
failed with gcc4, and we're working on getting gcc-4.1.2 stabilized
while we do the security bugs.

I think i'm not leaving anything :)

 Is there any guideline from mozilla team about what to do when there are
 more than one of these flags (firefox/seamonkey/xulrunner) supported by
 package AND enabled by user? Some of those local flag descriptions
 suggest that USE=firefox xulrunner results in using xulrunner (so it
 has higher priority). So is that recommended, and how about seamonkey?


Sorry, didn't saw this msg.

I don't know of any guideline. Anyway all apps should start to use
xulrunner, since that's what they really want instead of using firefox
or seamonkey. When ff-3.0 is released no app will be able to build
against ff, since ff will build against xulrunner. So, what i said, apps
should use xulrunner as primary option, now that xulrunner is up-to-date
and working fine.

Hi,

The mozilla team has decided that the
www-client/mozilla-firefox[-bin]-1.5* series will get masked two weeks
from now (18 Mar 2007), that is 1 April 2007. And will be
removed after two weeks from that date, which will be 15 April
2007.

Mozilla will drop support for that series from 24 April 2007 onwards.
All arches have 2.0 series stable, so if you're using 1.5 you should
migrate to 2.0.

@GWN: Please include this in the next GWN.

P.S: No, this is not an April fools joke :)

Thanks.

 Hi,

 The mozilla team has decided that the
 www-client/mozilla-firefox[-bin]-1.5* series will get masked two weeks
 from now (18 Mar 2007), that is *1 April 2007*. *And will be removed
 after two weeks from that date*, which will be *15 April 2007*.

 
 Shouldn't an application as important as Firefox should get the usual
 month in package.mask?
 
 Regards,

Ah, you want all the package masked? :P

Okay, so upstream has requested to remove the current version(0.5). And
the latest version,
0.7, needs a rewrite of the ebuild. I tried to do it, but this version
requires
more interaction from the user. It's not viable to install it using portage.

So, unless anybody posts an usable ebuild, this will get removed in 30 days.

So, amd64 finally stabilized the mono ebuild which doesn't need mozilla,
this can be punted.

 OK, so everyone wants to keep their conf.d/net in bash. Fine by me.

 Welcome to baselayout-ng which will be a virtual and will not require
 bash.

 Now that's out of the way, let's discuss configuration :)

 We still need something that is array like for want of a better
 phrase, so how about delimiting using ; like so
 config_eth0=10.1.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0; 10.1.1.2/24

 You could even use bash expansion here, provided that bash is your shell
 config_eth0=10.1.1.{1..30}/8; 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0

 See, that's not too bad is it?

 Thanks
