Package: dpkg
Version: 1.15.5.6
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

At this time, we have the Debian binutils, gcc, and eglibc packages
building cross-compilers for e500 correctly with just a few minor
patches.  A few other packages (libmpfr, libgmp) needed to be
crossbuilt (with minor patches only to enable cross-compilation).

We do not yet have a full self-hosting e500 environment constructed,
but we are actively working to complete one on our development boards.

I've included inline the exported git patch from our internal dpkg
source tree:

From: Kyle Moffett <[email protected]>

Subject: [PATCH] Add new 'e500' architecture to triplettable and ostable

The 'e500' architecture (also called MPC85xx) is a binary-incompatible
variant of PowerPC/POWER designed and supported by FreeScale and IBM.
Additional information can be found at:
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerPC_e500

It has the unfortunate GNU arch triplet of "powerpc-linux-gnuspe", when
it should have been "powerpcspe-linux-gnu" or "e500-linux-gnu".  This
causes much the same problem and has the same solution as the lpia
architecture's triplet: "arm-linux-gnulp".  The result is a few extra
entries in the "ostable" file to deal with the quirk.

At this time the 'e500' architecture port is still very much an
unofficial port.  While we hope that will change in the future, it is
entirely possible that the embedded niche of the processor will make
such an official Debian port problematic.

Changes: 
 dpkg (1.15.7.2) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   [ Raphaƫl Hertzog ]
   * Update dpkg-buildflags to respect $XDG_CONFIG_HOME and to use
     $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dpkg/buildflags.conf by default.
   * Update deb-substvars(5) to codify how variables containing multiple
     lines must be managed.
   * Fix boolean evaluation of Dpkg::Version so that version 0 evaluates to
     false and dpkg-shlibdeps can strip the minimal version specification.
     Closes: #579724
     Document this behaviour in the API and add non-regression test to ensure
     it's kept.
   * Let dpkg-buildflags error out when a required parameter is missing.
     Closes: #579722
   * Add Bug-Ubuntu field in DEP-3 template provided in the automatic header
     of patches in 3.0 (quilt) source packages. Thanks to Benjamin Drung
     <[email protected]> for the patch. Closes: #578002
   * Update deb-override(5) by removing references to usage of sections
     to place the packages on the mirrors and by indicating that the Debian
     policy offers a list of allowed values for section and priority.
     Closes: #575410
   * Update reference to triggers.txt.gz in dpkg-trigger(1) and deb-triggers(5)
     to match the new location. Closes: #580774
   * Drop mention of PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR in dpkg-buildpackage(1), the feature has
     been removed in 1.15.6.
   * Rename /usr/lib/dpkg/maintscript-helper into
     /usr/bin/dpkg-maintscript-helper, it is a public interface even if working
     around known limitations.
   * Add "supports" command to dpkg-maintscript-helper to ensure the wanted
     command is supported before calling it.
 .
   [ Guillem Jover ]
   * Add powerpcspe support to ostable and triplettable.
     Thanks to Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <[email protected]> and
     Kyle Moffett <[email protected]>. Closes: #568123, #575158
   * Fix dpkg --root by properly stripping again the root directory from the
     path of the maintainer script to execute. Closes: #580984
   * On Linux use sync() instead of an fsync() per file on deferred extraction,
     to workaround performance degradation on ext4. Closes: #578635
 .
   [ Gerfried Fuchs ]
   * Fix syntax error in dpkg-name. Closes: #581315
