well, sort of. i can still package the cross compilers and such, so that we will all be ready for it. but the new arch obviously is still another relase or two away. i have binutils packaged, and i haven't worked on it in awhile, but i think egcs is mostly done, too... > > anyway, since for now they will be x-compilers, where should the bins be > > placed? should egcs be /usr/bin/egcs-parisc? /usr/parisc/egcs? > > We will have to create binary-parisc or similar. well, for the cross compilers, i'm doing /usr/lib/parisc-xxx e.g, /usr/bin/parisc-egcs /usr/bin/parisc-as etc. > As the beginning, where no port exists, a directory within > experimental looks proper to me. agreed. > Justin, can you find out if those machines are binary compatible. > I've heard that there are two general types flying around (5i and > 3i, iirc). I wonder if one new architecture is enough or if we > need both - like for mips. which two machines? the ones the puffins are working on? they are working on the a180c (a-class). it is only a 32-bit machine, however. i think it is compatible with all the 64-bit machines, and can confirm this if you'd like and provide me with more info. -- Justin Maurer [EMAIL PROTECTED] IFT Systems, Inc. http://linux.hypnotic.org 6717 N.31st Street Tel: +1 (703) 237-5511 Arlington, Virginia, 22213 USA acf on LinuxNet
