Did you already install and use T2 / Linux and only need more graphic support?

AFAIR the driver simple did not build anymore, likely due to x86 in/out 
instructions, but to run basic X on a FB you probably don’t need this drivers.
But you could certainly add alpha to the architecture R list and see how far it 
builds and work on making them work.

René

[t2] T2 Linux 24.8 "Pkg Once, Runs Everywhere" Now Shipping with Cross Compiled OpenJDK Java™

[René Rebe]

[Berlin, 30th July 2024] — T2 Linux, the leading-edge Linux System Development 
Environment, renowned for its portability and cross-compiling capabilities, 
proudly announces the release of T2 Linux 24.8, codenamed "Pkg once, Runs 
Everywhere." This latest version is now shipping with a cross-compiled version 
of OpenJDK Java™ by default, further enhancing its position as the most 
versatile and portable Linux distribution available. Pre-built binary ISOs are 
available for the 13 most popular CPU and libc / compiler combinations: 
ARM(64), HPPA64, IA64, MIPS64, PowerPC64, RISCV64, SPARC64, i686 and x86-64.

Unprecedented Portability and Cross-Compiling Power

T2 Linux has long been at the forefront of providing a robust platform that 
emphasizes portability and ease of cross-compiling. With the new 24.8 release, 
users can now enjoy the benefits of a fully integrated, cross-compiled OpenJDK 
Java™ environment, making it even simpler to develop and deploy Java 
applications across a multitude of hardware architectures.

Key Features of T2 Linux 24.8:

Cross-Compiled OpenJDK Java™ by Default:
T2 Linux 24.8 comes pre-installed with a cross-compiled version of OpenJDK 
Java™, ensuring seamless Java development and deployment across various 
platforms without the need for additional configuration.

Enhanced Cross-Compiling Capabilities:
This release builds on T2 Linux’s already robust cross-compiling 
infrastructure, offering improved support for multiple architectures including 
ARM, MIPS, PowerPC, RISCV and more.

"Pkg once, Runs Everywhere" Philosophy:
True to its codename, T2 Linux 24.8 continues the work for home-brew support 
for other OS', allowing maintainers to package their applications once and run 
them anywhere, including macOS and BSDs. Significantly reducing the complexity 
and time involved in cross-platform development.

Updated Core Components:
The latest Linux kernel, glibc, LLVM/Clang and other core components are 
included, providing users with the most up-to-date and secure foundation for 
their applications.

Streamlined Frontend:
A new top-level "t2" frontend was started, aimed at simplifying the development 
process, ensuring that developers have everything they need to build and deploy 
high-performance applications.

Multi-architectural MIPS64 support:
Support was added for multi-architectural Linux kernel builds, allowing the 
MIPS64 T2 Linux configuration to ship one ISO with 5 kernel variants to support 
all popular Sgi IP27 (Origin 200), IP30 (Octane), IP32-r5k (O2), IP32-r10k and 
a generic Qemu kernel in a single release build making it the first Linux 
release to boot on multiple Sgi MIPS64 Unix machines.

Industry Endorsements and Community Support
T2 Linux has garnered support from both industry professionals and the 
open-source community. Its dedication to providing a highly portable and 
efficient Linux distribution has made it a favorite among developers who 
require flexibility and reliability in their workflows.

[t2] T2 24.8 Release Candidate

[René Rebe]

Hey there,

We are preparing the best and biggest release of T2/Linux ever, now shipping 
also with OpenJDK Java by default.
Plus many other improvements and fixes, and latest GCC and GlibC.

It would be amazing if you could give your favorite CPU arch and libc variant 
ISO a try over the weekend to spot any major show stopper bugs before the 
release announcement ;-)

https://dl.t2linux.com/binary/2024/incoming/

Thank you so much,

René Rebe

[t2] Moderninzing t2 scripts/ w/ a new top-level t2 frontend

[René Rebe]

Hey there,

the current T2 scripts/ have their heritage in the big ROCK Linux 2.0 rewrite 
over 20 years ago.

After using them that long and new users and developers joining we realize it 
was overdue to modernize the T2 scrippt/ world.

But don’t worry, we will do it slow and hopefully without too many regressions 
;-)

We have two GH issues to track this:

https://github.com/rxrbln/t2sde/issues/59
https://github.com/rxrbln/t2sde/issues/60

We started to work on the first with a new (lightweight and prototyping) 
top-level “t2” frontend in the source tree. Currently it just wraps the 
scripts/ for testing, but in the long term the scripts/ will be refactored into 
sourced code modules. The new t2 CLI usage would then be something like:

./t2 install pkg # instead of scripts/Pkg-Emerge
./t2 build-target -cfg x # instead of scripts/Build-Target

This simple refactoring trick you make t2 look much more modern and in the long 
term we plan to fully replace the aging mine tarball archer in the install 
image w/ simply using ./t2 install and having it natively support such binary 
pkg upstream streams.

Comments and patches welcome!

I hope you like this transformative path,

René

The download should of course work. We lost some historic downloads when we 
transitioned from our previous recompressed .bz2 to .zstd and then not to 
re-compress the downloads at all. Additionally we currently do not keep a 
dedicated mirror cache for each tag. Maybe we should actually do that going 
forward to keep more historic downloads available for the future.

Our t2/trunk should not be that unstable, maybe it would be better to use that 
and contribute fixing some of those downloads.

Thanks!

We check that to avoid typos or just using random gibberish. The known licenses 
are in:

misc/share/REGISTER

We certainly can add more, and it was recently suggested to transition to SPDX 
or so, modern naming:
https://github.com/rxrbln/t2sde/issues/142

When we did the license tags some 25 years we mostly classified BSD vs GPL or 
MT and as zlib was
none of them we just used “OpenSource” for anything else.

But I guess it is time to specifically add the zlib license to the registry, 
too.

We could also improve the diagnostic to point new developers to the 
misc/share/REGISTER file.

Patches welcome!

We can really not download number only tars like that. They would collide with 
all other number only tars.
I therefore edited it in the way we always carefully craft GitHub downloads to 
store a file including the package name.

Re: [t2] patch x86/86bin

[René Rebe]

Hi,

thank you for your ongoing contributions!

This old style diffs are really harder to read not really sure why you send 
them like the when svn diff easier just outputs a modern unified diff.

But for this particular change I’d rather restore the file on our mirror, than 
linking to another random one until a new upstream maintainer ever pops up. 
I’ll go do that now, ...

Thanks again!

Yeah, I had seen this earlier. While this is technically correctly when
building inside the t2-src package, it is superfluous and I currently
manually remove it. We should think if and how we want to automatically
want to filter this.

We don’t usually quote paths like this, and 7zz explicitly at the dest is 
superfluos

As I touched the above paths anyway, I sorted this hook after the functions
as we usually try to do for readability in modern code.

Committed revision 65769.

The Info title should not have punctuation (like newspaper title) and it was a

The download override with ! Is not really necessary here, so I removed it and 
used the filename with “v” in the version instead:

Committed revision 65768.

(Somehow I have to manual fix the patch whitespace, but it could be my MUA, too.
If you don’t mind it might be better file interchange to simply attach the

Please send patches relative to the base directory, e.g. simply:
svn di

in the project directory, with the full path I need to manually count
the leading path prefix' to apply the patch with, e.g.

patch -p4

I don’t really care though, if it has the leading project name like t2-src, a .
or simply no leading path (-p0, -p1).

Thanks again,
René

A cache is crated for any package built in t2 in $root//var/adm/cache/

It is best to submit a new package by copy the file from your build
to have some initial dependency information and billed time estimation.

So I improved ncurses to not just set prefix, but use our regular auto
or user set safeguard and fix the ada includes, and objects while at it.

I also committed your other changes, including adding the deadline 8.2-001 
patch:

Committed revision 65405.
Committed revision 65406.

AFAIC the only changes I did not include is the ncurses png-config tweak,
please let me know if that is still needed for your build, iwd appears to build
for me. Albei before, and now, too.

Thank you so much!

With $root this most likely created a wrong pkg config .pc file for cross 
builds as the arbitrary sandbox path must not be in there, also to work for 
continuing to use the cross build after the installation natively.

I will probably start applying the other changes in multiple commits.

How can I reproduce the pkg-config .pc bug you try to solve?

Thanks!

I’ll take a closer look and merge bits tomorrow, however, the prefix= 
assignment is
not “unnecessary” as it changes the default of /usr to / so that ncurses is 
available
early during boot for old school users with with separate partitions.

If that results in incorrect pkgconfig libdir that sound like another bug.

Not sure if it is just my MUA, but looking a the raw text I think this is 
white-space
damaged and would not just apply. A common issue with modern MUA since
a decade or two. I therefore recreated it manually, and removed some more
patches and updated the .cache:

Committed revision 65311.

[t2] It looks like we found a AMD Zen4 CPU bug: Spurious SMT Sibling Invalid Opcode Speculation

[René Rebe]

e with some other folks and kernel developer it was 
suggested it could be TLB related, and we realized we were booting with 
mitigations=off for a little higher all system compilation performance and I 
can report that without mitigations=off this spurious illegal instructions do 
not appear. Also disabling SMT makes the problem disappear, too.

So I iterated over all the mitigation options and found spectre_v2_user=off to 
be enough to make this bug reproducibly appear when loading most cores running 
this sparc64-t2-linux-gcc.

Now the good news is: running with modern security mitigations enabled hides 
this what to me looks like a Zen 4 SMT sibling processor state corruption bug 
or mis-speculation. However, I would argue, non malicious user-more programs 
should not exhibit spurious illegal instructions with an operating system 
running in a classic, high performance mode without any special security 
mitigations in place.

As this is very reproducible with GCC for sparc64 for me, I created an initrd 
with a pre-processed source file (from Mesa IIRC) setup to boot into a loop 
running sparc64-t2-linux-gcc on all cores (all grouped in usr/local) for others 
to test how widespread this issue is:

https://dl.t2sde.org/amd-zen4-smt-c0fefe/

Boot with:
spectre_v2_user=off or mitigations=off

It is even reproducible in qemu/kvm running on a host with this 
spectre_v2_user=off:
qemu-system-x86_64 --enable-kvm -smp 32 -cpu host -m 4G -kernel 
vmlinuz-6.5.5-t2 -initrd initrd-6.5.5-t2.gz -nographic -append "console=ttyS0"

To test on your system with chroot:
mkdir bug; cd bug; gunzip ../initrd-6.5.5-t2 | cpio -i
chroot . usr/local/init

With this reduced test case illegal instructions appear within an average of 
just 5 seconds on my Ryzen 7950x.

To rule out that this is some random linux kernel config and optimization 
fluke, I built the kernel with clang and gcc, without any change, and also 
downloaded the latest Intel Clear Linux kernel binary to double checked that it 
is affected in the same way, and sure it does.

After all this research, to me this looks like an Zen 4 CPU bug, but any other 
comments, hints, patches welcome!

I realize AMD has never microcode for Epyc server CPUs, if this is already 
fixed in some newer microcode, it would really be amazing (hint) if AMD would 
release microcode updates for $999 consumer CPUs in a more timely manner, and 
not only high end server SKUs via linux-firmware, ...

Thank you so much,

indeed, as we can’t fully cross build perl (we probably should work on that) 
you currently
need to install (emerge) it into your freshly installed system to build a whole 
new target
from scratch, e.g. using something like scripts/Emerge-Pkg -missing=only perl 
perl-xml-parser
(or something like that —typos).

Maybe we should natively bootstrap that for target builds to avoid ans such 
“non-standard”
host system requirements, ...

Re: [t2] Install hangs in QEmu with "Booting from Hard Disk..."

[René Rebe]

Hey there,

thanks for testing. I was still heavily fine tuning the 22.5 release, and did 
not test the ISOs that much yet.
I seeded 22.6 last night (wiped the 22.5 test) and will now double check that 
those work now.

As seen live on our YT channel, I’m also working on automating testing the ISOs 
for various architectures and platforms,  e.g. via Qemu.

Have a great week,
 René

musl/clang was tricky to get building a year ago (see the many yt videos ;-) 
and currently likely mostly broken due to llvm/clang moving to some mono 
repository needing the individual packages been all build in one tree IIRC.

Patches welcome ;-)

Yeah, IIRC the modified ps3fb might not correctly do mode setting.
Certainly something I should put more time to get right and test more.

[t2] Cleaner build output and better build time logging

[René Rebe]

Hey there,

continuing polishing t2 on a daily basis (live on YouTube, don’t delay share, 
like &
subscribe for free today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=He2pFMLKYDY)

I polished the built output for the fist time in 15 years, including logging the
time delta instead the end date, making it instantly visible when you work
on tuning and benchmarking systems. A similar (but not the same as
the build output is printed independently) will also be stored in the
var/adm/package file after the date now:

Build [9] at 09/08/2021 from 23:00:13 to 23:00:26  00:00:13

== 23:00:14 =[9]=> Building lua/lua [5.4.3 21-svn]
-> Parallel build using 4 jobs
-> Reading package config: package/lua/lua/lua.conf
-> Preparing build in src.lua.default.20210908.225958.28054.nsrvr
-> Building. Writing output to $root/var/adm/logs/9-lua.out
== +00:00:13 =[9]=> Finished building package lua

We also have tons of other daily updates and refinements:

https://svn.exactcode.de/ChangeLog-t2

I also removed a bunch of randomly inconsistent punctuations in
log messages, and will likely continue to modernize the output.

I hope this is helpful, keep hacking, and looking forward to your
patches!

[t2] [SECURITY] md5 vs. sha512 passwords

[René Rebe]

Hey there,

Notag pointed out and sent me a patch that t2 was still used a pam 
configuration with
md5 password hashes. I simply forgot to look into that default configure and 
have to
thank such user contributors to keep reviewing t2 security and keeping up with 
state of
the art defaults. As of:
r53037  * updated pam password hash from md5 to sha512

sha512 will now be the default hash for new installations. Rolling release 
updates
are not affected as the files should only get reinstalled if they did not yet 
exist.
If you manually want to upgrade for security reasons don’t forget to update your
password hash before logging out or reboot, or boot with init=/bin/sh to set a
new one in case you forget to set a password ;-)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PG647ocslf8

Again merci Notag and happy weekend,

René

Yes, as much fun and regressions as glibc is known for two decades and counting

Ccache should just work. Simply install it (Emerge) and enable the
Config option for it.

Distcc I have not tried in a while and needs multiple additional
compile nodes running the same compiler to yield deterministic
results.

Re: [t2] emacs fails to build

[René Rebe]

Hi,

unfortunately the cross complied minimal ISOs did not include the gobject 
introspection
.gir files. I believe due to my WebKit work the next ISOs should come with 
gobject-
introspection and thus this .gir files.

For now you might need to install gobject-introspection and re-build the 
packages
that require / provide .gir files.

However, I think emacs should just build with the gtk+ from the ISO.

did you try checkout the t2 source (svn co https://svn.exactcode.de/t2/trunk 
) somewhere and
scripts/Emerge-Pkg it? If so do you get a build error?

If you mean text console, we don’t ship gpm by default anymore, as I felt like 
I was the
last one using it. You can simply Emerge it like mentioned above:

# scripts/Emerge -missing=only gpm

And one time start it or enable it in your init levels.

I hope this helps,
René

thanks for the note, as long as it is updated and is reasonably useful there is

Re: [t2] stage2 decompression fail causes kernel panic

[René Rebe]

Hi,

for me this usually fails w/ out-of-memory, and then likely no memory is 
available
to fork and run new processes anyway. We could certainly try to handle
non zero exist status and properly error out there for a maybe 50/50 chance
some stuff can still run? Especially in your case of unsupported format, …
maybe I try add handle that live this lunch break ;-)

Bonne journée,
René

Re: [t2] [NEW PACKAGES] Rakudo toolchain + Raku modules

[René Rebe]

Hey Tomáš,

cool, thank you for this work. Looked pretty good, I only touched like 3 .desc 
I T and one Url tag,
as The Info title was sometimes a bit short or long, and the Text once not 
starting capitalized,
and once not ending with a dot, plus moving one embedded Url to an additional 
Url tag.

Committed revision 52728 and 52729.

Looking forward to your next patches!

[t2] [RELEASE] t2 Linux 21.7 "Rebel Alliance" w/ Unmatched RISCV64 support!

[René Rebe]

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Today the T2 Linux 21.7 was released. An major milestone update to ship full
support for the new HiFive SiHive Unmatched 64-bit quad-core RISC-V 64
board as well as a reference for the further refined smart optimizations for 32-
and 64-bit x86 users.

Of course all the other architectures, including: alpha, arm, arm64, hppa, 
ia64, m68k
mips64, mipsel, ppc, ppc64-32, ppc64le, riscv, riscv64, s390x, sparc64, superh
x86, and x86-64 can be rolling release upated thru the rolling release scripted
build system from source.

There were 305 change-sets and this is also the first release with our AI bot
"Data" contributing more revisions than human developers: Data: 164,
humans: 141 !

Usually most packages are up-to-date, including Linux 5.13.1, GCC
11.0, LLVM/Clang 12, as well as the latest version of X.org <http://x.org/>,
Mesa, Firefox, Rust, KDE and GNOME!

More information, source and binary downloads are open source and free
at:

Re: [t2] update ca-certificates

[René Rebe]

Hey,

the pure update w/o running update-ca-certificates (which we can not do like 
this, e.g. during cross builds):

Committed revision 52471.

Running the update script (which ideally should also not use perl, sigh) could 
be done as a t2 postinstall script..

Merci,

Re: [t2] cross compiling for ppc64 (cell/PS3)

[René Rebe]

Hey,

ah, that is probably the swap option. That is intentionally disabled as it 
conflicts with RSX acceleration that I should also continue to work on.
You can have either RSX graphic acceleration or this swap. It should 
theoretically still be possible to support vram swap, say for half of the VRAM 
or so. But first I need to understand more RSX details and get them working.

I’m also not sure if vram swap would be stable with the original OtherOS++ 
direct FIFO use instead of going thru the hypervisor.

There might also the possibility to speed up the ps3 storage driver a bit, so 
that using sata ssd as swap could potentially become faster, too. That is 
certainly more useful for folks longing for RSC graphic acceleration anyway ;-)

Re: [t2] cross compiling for ppc64 (cell/PS3)

[René Rebe]

Hey,

well, I guess the PS3 could compile the kernel in a day or two?

You need to build a whole new target, I guess you mis-use t2
by trying to cross compile into your running system (Build-Pkg /
Emerge vs. Build-Target).

The vram size might be setable by a kernel parameter, no?
Do you want to set something smaller or bigger?

Re: [t2] 21.5 stops on first package

[René Rebe]

Hi there,

I don’t know how you try to use t2 to compile things there, but kcc is our 
decade old kernel compiler symlink to just allow compiling the kernel with 
different, safe settings than user packages, or to use another compiler for the 
kernel than the rest (gcc, vs, clang, vs icc).

So, … maybe you use t2 in a way that builds packages directly into your detain 
where kcc is something else?

Re: [t2] 21.5 stops on first package

[René Rebe]

Hi there,

I don’t know how you try to use t2 to compile things there, but kcc is our 
decade old kernel compiler symlink to just allow compiling the kernel with 
different, safe settings than user packages, or to use another compiler for the 
kernel than the rest (gcc, vs, clang, vs icc).

So, … maybe you use t2 in a way that builds packages directly into your detain 
where kcc is something else?

Re: [t2] Unable to build luabash on PS3/PPC64

[René Rebe]

HI,

happy to hear you could install that older ISO. Maybe it had some -m32 
imperfection, I fine tuned and patch so much since then.
Can you try the 21.5 ISO that should have many many fixes and improvements 
since then?

[t2] [RELEASE] t2 Linux 21.5 "Because we can" for 18 architectures

[René Rebe]

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Today the T2 System Development Environment Linux 21.5 was released
with an even larger amount of supported, 18 pre- and cross-compiled
set of architectures ever: alpha, arm, arm64, hppa, ia64, m68k,
mips64, mipsel, ppc, ppc64-32, ppc64le, riscv, riscv64, s390x, sparc64,
superh, x86, and x86-64.

Major performance improemvnts were implemented, including: not yet
upstream x86 concurrent TLB flushing, faster in-kernel zstd update as
well as smarter (profile guided Os vs O3) whole system optimizations!

The 21.5 release received updates across the board, while a major
point of work was the GCC 11 update as well as re-basing and fixing
upstream regressions for the Sony PS3 support as well as various small
improvements, including an up to 15 seconds faster system shutdown when
using sysvinit.

All 18 official ISO images are fully cross compiled! Over 224 Subversion
revisions, of which many are now AI updated by our nightly package bot
we named “Data” ;-)

Usually most packages are up-to-date, including Linux 5.12.4, GCC
11.0, LLVM/Clang 12, as well as the latest version of X.org,
Mesa, Firefox, Rust, KDE and GNOME 40!

More information, source and binary downloads are open source and free
at:

https://t2sde.org

Recently the development can also be followed live on YouTube at:

https://youtube.com/morerenerebe

There were 224 changesets with 251 lines of commit messages.
Approximately 132 packages got updates, 25 issues fixed, 132 packages
or features added and 10 removed. Multiple improvements have been
committed.

[t2] New support & sponsorship

[René Rebe]

Hey all,

given our extensive YT activities, especially in the context of keeping vintage 
systems and architectures alive and kicking, it is time to bump up our support 
and issue tracing.
Previously, some 15 years ago, we had run some trac that was constantly spammed 
and eventually hacked. As I’m not feeling like spending time on running that 
ourselves for now, I decided to start going with GitHub (yes, yes, I know, …):

https://github.com/rxrbln/t2sde <https://github.com/rxrbln/t2sde>

So feel free to use it for issues, bugs, feature requests as well as pull 
requests. I will likely sometime soon setup an svn to GitHub mirror.

Should you feel like supporting all the efforts put into maintaining and fixing 
all this exotic stuff there are also two new ways to keep paying my bills:

https://github.com/sponsors/rxrbln/ 
<https://github.com/sponsors/rxrbln/>
https://onlyfans.com/renerebe <https://onlyfans.com/renerebe>

Additionally to the already existing:
https://www.patreon.com/renerebe <https://www.patreon.com/renerebe>

I’ll make sure to link all of this on our website soon, too:

https://t2sde.org/support/ <https://t2sde.org/support/>

Have a great day,
René Rebe

while it nicely (cross) builds for me, no-one can answer this with this input.

Have you tried running gdb on the binary and core dump and look at the 
backtrace?

I work around that however, as in t2/trunk

intersting, I indeed have that in my log, too. It must be the generic concept 
sanity checking and $extraconfopt being in $confopt.
As it currently builds not that important, but certainly worth to eventually 
take a look at. A quick grep finds this output also at least for vim :-/

[t2] [RELEASE] t2 Linux 21.4 "Fully Automated" for 15 architectures

[René Rebe]

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Today the T2 System Development Environment Linux 21.4 was released, with the 
largest amount of pre- and cross-compiled set of architectures releases ever!
A total of 15 architectures: x86-64, x86, arm64, arm, riscv64, riscv, ppc64le, 
ppc64-32, ppc sparc64, mips64, mipsel, hppa, m68k, alpha and ia64!

The 21.4 release received updates across the board, while a major working 
target was adding new architecture support for RISCV(32), as further improving 
cross compilation and support for vintage retro system like the Sony PS3 and 
Sgi Octane, but also DEC Alpha and Intel IA64. Low memory optimizations allow 
the 32-bit x86 variant to boot on 486 with as little as 48MB of RAM.

All official ISO images are fully cross build! Over 1294 Subversion revisions, 
of which many are now AI updated by our nightly package bot named “Data”.

As usually most packages are up-to-date, including Linux 5.11.16, GCC 10.3, 
LLVM/Clang 12, as well as the latest version of Rust, X.org , 
Mesa, KDE and GNOME 40!

More information, source and binary downloads are available open source and for 
free at:

https://t2sde.org 

Since recently the development can also be followed live on YouTube at:

https://youtube.com/renerebe 

There were 1294 change-sets with 1879 lines of commit messages.
Approximately 1179 packages got updates, 120 issues fixed, 1179 packages or 
features added and 52 removed.
Around 16 improvements have been committed.

Toolchain updates:
* updated clang (11.0.0 -> 12.0.0)
* updated llvm (11.0.0 -> 12.0.0)
* updated gcc (10.2.0 -> 10.3.0), incl. znver3 Config option
* updated binutils (2.35 -> 2.36.1)

While I appreciate your nots, the priority sorting is a bit too random for me.
Especially after I spend a year getting t2 to cross compile minimal-desktop w/ 
Firefox & Rust live on youtube ;-)

http://youtube.com/renerebe/ 
http://youtube.com/morerenerebe 

I will probably prefer to adjust them as needed, and ideally replace that 
mostly with more dynamic dependency resolution sometime between soon and 
forever, …

Good luck you rosy builds, I will publish the most extensive set of 14 
architecture ISOs the coming days.

the garget configuration does currently not include a dynamic dependency 
resolution pass, so the package selection is a direct result of the package 
selection rules you supply in your config.

I hope that helps you to find what selects differently from what you expect.

You can still select them, they did not appear to be used in the minimal-xorg 
package selection I’m releasing ISOs with.
Nothing stops anyone to just build them ;-)

PS: can we keep everything not related to me personally on a list?
I’m getting a over hundred emails a day, and it is really inefficient, and 
tiring to have unsorted stuff in the INBOX.

Thank you so much,

 And Rene has updated cmake to 3.20.0, i'm keeping mine at 3.19.7 for now 
 as i know it all builds, else i would need to start 40-~ again and i want 
 to progress onwards at this point of time.
 
 And he's done 'something' with clang so maybe it will work first-time for 
 me, many thanks.
 
 I'm doing a final 40-~ build using the stage 9 setting as a final check 
 and since it's up to 9-linux i'm taking it, that it will all complete, so 
 a 'first' real 50-minimal-desktop build next. And that all worked with the 
 updated cmake at 3.19.7.

binutils has some strange build regression (upstream code quality, amazing 
right?), but otherwise I test with -j32 ;-)

mine does a little more than that, and we also need the tiny little installer

As long as it just works TM for me, I currently do not plan to touch that

Gnome 2 is vintage abondoneware. I hope you do not expect me to maintain gnome 
2 packages from a decade ago forever, ..?

The gnome2 repository will be simply renamed gnome w/o number suffix 
eventually, it just did not suit my free time schedule just yet.
But as I see this causes confusion, so maybe I do so today.

Anything I notice not being maintained upstream, e.g. support, extra, contrib 
packages of gnome 2 or 3 or similar stuff like that, that likely do not even 
work anymore or have no function as nothing uses helper libraries anymore will 
eventually be removed.

Re: [t2] [NEW PACKAGES] golang + mail client

[René Rebe]

Bonjour Notag,

thanks again for the contributions.

I applied to go and aerc parts, and touch up mostly the go.conf while doing so.

I did not applied the go-bootstrap, as I think this is better done e.g. in the 
go package toolchain 0 stage or similar means without requiring a second 
“-bootstrap” package.

Looking forward to more patches and a good and healthy week to all!

Merci,
René

Yes, I said so in the accompanying livestream:

but currently I have some hundreds pending updates in my working copies and I

Sure, patches are always welcome. You don’t need to send rename patches though, 
I rather svn mv when the time has come.

It should since:

* no longer patch gcc to default to -fnocommon, instead:

Maybe cpio was not yet flagged at the time you build, I finished a

Re: [t2] Info request

[René Rebe]

Hi,

and tank you for your email.
Please use the published ISOs as builds, they are already quite minimal and I 
just published one the other day

If you want a smaller image you start loosing major functions.

You might want to join the discord, I wish I had the time to support every 
build error personally, but honestly it is getting a bit out of hand :-/

This time I wanted the AMD64 ISOs more optimized and the Haswell is AVX2,
and as this was too much for some folks I rebuild a second one with just AVX.

Yes, that leaves out first gen x86-64. Historically I always built generic,
“Athlon64”, however, given the nature of “optimizing source distribution”,
I wanted some extra performance to better compete with Intel Clear Linux ;-)

Yes Intel SandyBridge and AMD Jaguar and later IIRC.

Given the confusion, Maybe I have to resort to just build generic Athlon64 /
Core 2 ISOs in the future to just work everywhere.

Ideally i would JIT my whole OS, but that is another story, …

[t2] [ANNOUNCE] t2 Linux 20.10 - ARM64, PowerPC64le, RISCV & more!

[René Rebe]

After a decade of development we are proud to announce the availability of the 
new T2 Linux Source and Embedded Linux distribution build kit stable release 
20.10.

The 20.10 release received updates across the board, while a major working 
target was adding new architecture support for ARM64, and RISCV as well as 
further improving cross compilation, and all official ISO images are now fully 
cross build! Over 13800 Subversion revisions indicate the magnitude of the 
release, with over 1000 new packages, new features and various other 
improvements and fixes, including the latest Linux kernel, GCC, LLVM, Clang, 
Rust,  X.org , Wayland, Firefox, KDE, GNOME & everything in 
between.

Aside support for the latest Epyc and Threadripping AMD Zen silicon, with 
enthusiasm we also maintain support vintage hardware. such as the Sony PS3, Sgi 
Octane, Sun UltraSPARC and various other such systems!

More information, source and binary downloads are available open source and for 
free at:

https://t2sde.org 

Since recently the development can also be followed live on YouTube at:

https://youtube.com/renerebe 

There were 13895 changesets with 15589 lines of commit messages.
Approximately 11743 packages got updates, 1006 issues fixed, 11743 packages or

svn log usually provides a nice history to follow. They are smart optimization 
profiles that we had since 2003-ish or so and I recently vastly improved and 
moved from a central scripts/smart_db.txt to better maintainable per package 
fies.

Stay safe,
René

pydoc was not in the code before. I guess that is something you had locally?

Not sure what you refer to, t2-svn e-mails? They appear to be ok for me.
Maybe your MUA did not load it? Thee svn commit also go straight into
a sendmail-like MTA, so there might always be a chance it is not
100% valid RFC whatever email plain/text ;-)

I tested that the other day. X.org’s fbdev indeed still worked for me. Maybe 
depth needs to be 24 bits or so. I did not test variantions but in general it 
appeared to still work.

Do other mode numbers than 13 not work with the kernel frame buffer?

Thanks for testing, I don’t really have spare time to test anything than what I 
use, so feedback of others to summarize what does not work helps me to focus on 
fixing such findings specifically.

welcome and thanks for your contribution!

I slightly reworked this to be an “sub-architecture” config option
within powerpc64, similar to what we had for mips(el) and arm(eb):

Committed r50303.

Hm, I generally don’t use the X fb driver, it could be my latest ps3fb rework 
broke that;
or you simply set another mode in X than the kernel?

[   649.905] (EE) FBDEV(0): FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO succeeded but modified mode
[   649.905] (EE) FBDEV(0): mode initialization failed

Guess I should test that some more, if you take a look yourself a patch to 
improve anything in this area would be great, too!

Well, if Qt does not build because it’s source code is not written standard 
confirm and previously only happened to build by sheer luck it has nothing to 
do with the configuration and prerequisits.

error: no member named 'runtime_error' in namespace 'std'

https://forum.qt.io/topic/114924/cannot-build-q-error-in-qtlocation 
<https://forum.qt.io/topic/114924/cannot-build-q-error-in-qtlocation>

As I said it might only miss an #include   or similar, however given 
there was a new release it is not worth my time trying to patch an old version 
for a new gcc release.

Have a good Sunday,
René

on the first glance it is likely new gcc c++ STL header changes, and before I 
waste hours on this 500MB+ codebase I try the latest release version ;-)

My Qt build log includes this output:

This is the Qt Open Source Edition.

You have already accepted the terms of the Open Source license.

So my best guess is they talk about the commercial pre-built stuff only.
You only need to stick to their open source licensing term as before.

The previous Qt version did not build for me anymore, something with 
runtime_error or so
not being in std:: namespace.

I have no idea what this legalized marketing text tries to tell me. It sounds 
to apply only
to pre-built stuff and support from the Qt company. I went thru their website 
to check if
5.15 is stable and it clearly listed open source release and obligations.

In any case I never liked Qt, it is a humongous collection of everything and 
the kitchen
sink and I will never use it personally and only use it to build open source 
stuff for
my personal use, such as obs-studio and nextpnr. Basically nothing else that 
would
come to mind right now, … ;-)

I personally avoid cancerous stuff like Qt at any price.

Have a great weekend,
René Rebe
