Hi list, I'm mostly done with RSEL 7.3. I expect the result to be synced to the mirrors later today. Tomorrow I'll switch over from 7.2 to 7.3.
Next steps will be building new kernel rpms for the raspberry and odroid families of devices. and then making new images for those devices. The base repo already contains all updates till today. (I thought it was a wast of resources to build packages that are already outdated at their release date) All in all there are now 512 new packages build for 7.3, of which 30 needed patching. notable changes ========== * kernel - In the past we had a patched version of the upstream kernel to use for headers. This needed to be updated, the new 7.3 packages did not build with the old headers. I patched the kernel srpm differently than before. There a no specific arm patches any more, but it now only produces kernel-headers. This means that packages that depend on other artifacts from the kernel source now cannot install anymore. In practice this is only 'tuned'. * glibc - needed patches to build. before it build out of the box. * valgrind was not able to update to the new version. It stays on the same version as in 7.2 * mesa-private-llvm was not able to update to the new version. I have found one version that does build. * prelink - fails the tests when build against 7.3. I'm not sure how this can be. It is removed from 7.3 * python - I found an error in the regex engine that is specific to 32bits builds. This has been patched. other news ======= * I no longer ship patches and an overview of what has changed in the packages tree. This should all be in git: https://github.com/redsleeve-linux/el7 * in stead of the mantis site we will try to use github issues. Merry Christmas, Jacco _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.redsleeve.org/mailman/listinfo/users
