You can see what binary packages we have that will need a rebuild by looking at: http://xs-dev.laptop.org/xsrepos/testing/olpc/9/i386/ and looking at the i?86 rpms there. cheers, m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
Re: [Server-devel] ARM based XS ?
Actually, OpenSUSE's build service now properly builds ARM for Fedora, Debian and Ubuntu, and very very soon OpenSUSE too. Its worth taking a look at that method, as the router based arm products are almost all gonna be ipckg or opckg, which are very similar to dpckg, but just trimmed down with less policy stuff... kind Regards, David Van Assche On Sun, May 17, 2009 at 1:35 PM, Martin Langhoff wrote: > > > On Sun, May 17, 2009 at 3:11 AM, rihowa...@gmail.com > wrote: >> >> According to the http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM there is >> Fedora 8 and Fedora 10 port for ARM.

Re: [Server-devel] ARM based XS ?
Martin, According to the http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM there is Fedora 8 and Fedora 10 port for ARM. The OpenRD comes with Fedora 8. I mentioned this at the OLPC-SF meeting this morning and we are adding it to our projects list. I have 1 or 2 people at the meeting volunteer to help me with this. As a result of the positive responses I am going to order the ARM machine to experiment with. I am not sure when the hardware will actually ship once I place the order. A shipping delay will give me time to read some of the documentation on building Fedora for ARM. What size hard drive do you recommend for the XS? thanks /Robert H On May 16, 2009, at 2:29 AM, Martin Langhoff wrote: On Sat, May 16, 2009 at 7:09 AM, wrote: Looks like the Marvell OpenRd Client is finally shipping. http:// www.globalscaletechnologies.com/p-21-openrd-client.aspx I know Fedora now has a ARM branch. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ Architectures/ARMHow difficult would it to be to spin an XS build for ARM?

Martin, Looks like the Marvell OpenRd Client is finally shipping. http:// www.globalscaletechnologies.com/p-21-openrd-client.aspx I know Fedora now has a ARM branch. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ Architectures/ARMHow difficult would it to be to spin an XS build for ARM?
