 If anything, rootstock would have to be updated to pass -M vexpress
 instead of -M versatile (and download the vexpress kernels instead of
 the versatile ones).

 Yup, I'm aware of the OMAP flavor, but wasn't sure whether
 linux-libc-dev was perhaps generated by the versatile build.

 If you rip out versatile, you can also revert

It must contain the following entry in debian/changelog:

  * debian/patches/cups-avahi.dpatch: Updated Avahi patch to fix places in
the CUPS source code where libdns_sd is supported but not Avahi.

Hi,

as a first step into support for printing from mobile devices I have
made Apple's AirPrint working on Natty and Oneiric. AirPrint is the
method how Apple's iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch print via IPP. I want to
ask all of you to test this feature.


What is AirPrint?
-

http://www.apple.com/iphone/features/airprint.html


What do you need?
-

1. An iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch with iOS 4.2 or newer. Update your
device via iTunes if needed. If no update gets offered to you, update
iTunes first, if after that you do not get an update offered, your
device is too old.

2. A computer running Ubuntu Natty or Oneiric. Please update your
computer to the newest state of the art with the update-manager. For
Natty you need to activate the natty-proposed repository.

3. A print queue on your computer. If you do not have a printer, create
a pseudo printer with the following commands in a terminal:

cupsctl FileDevice=yes
lpadmin -p test -E -v file:/tmp/test.ps -m drv:///sample.drv/generic.ppd
-o PageSize=A4

When printing on this printer, you get a PostScript file /tmp/test.ps.
Make it world-readable and display it with evince.

If you have a printer, every printer which works under Ubuntu does
AirPrint with Ubuntu, not only the HP printers listed on Apple's web
site (they do AirPrint directly, without computer).

4. WLAN. Switch the internet access of your mobile device to WLAN. Your
computer must be in the same LAN (on the same router), but it does not
matter whether it is connected via ethernet cable or WLAN.


How do you test?


1. On your computer start system-config-printer via System ->
Administration -> Printing (GNOME Classic) or via Turn-off-button at the
upper right -> System Settings -> Hardware -> Printing (Unity Natty) or
via the command line (all systems including Unity Oneiric).

2. In system-config-printer choose Server -> Settings and activate
"Published shared printers connected to this system". Click OK and then
right-click on the icon of your print queue and choose Properties in the
pop-up menu. In the Policies section of the dialog make sure that
"Shared" is activated.

3. Make sure your mobile device is accessing your local network using
WLAN and then open an application with printing functionality on it
(like for example the browser or the photo viewer). Print something. The
print dialog should show your print queue and allow some basic settings.
Note that the Description/Info field and not the name of the queue is
shown.

4. Check whether you get a correct printout.

5. Report your results here. If something goes wrong, report a bug on
Launchpad.

This is the HOWTO on which my patches are based. On Natty and Oneiric
you DO NOT need to create the Avahi service definition file described
here and you DO NOT need to add a "ServerAlias *" line to cupsd.conf.

Dunno about rootstock. I'll go ahead and rip out the versatile flavour. 
Note that we still have an omap armel flavour, and we'll continue to

Re: ARM: Dropping debian-installer armel+versatile kernel and netboot kernel

2011-06-28 Thread Tim Gardner 

On 06/20/2011 03:17 PM, Loïc Minier wrote:

 Hey there

  On armel, we currently have a versatile flavor of the linux packages
  and a versatile netboot image of debian-installer.  ARM Versatile was
  added in Debian a long time ago and then in Ubuntu because it could be
  run within QEMU.  Nowadays in oneiric we have a linaro-vexpress kernel
  flavor and a corresponding d-i netboot image which supports ARM
  Versatile Express platforms.

  I'd like to kill the old versatile stuff:
  - ARM Versatile is an obsolete hardware platform (it got superseded by
ARM RealView and then ARM Versatile Express, and even that is getting
old)
  - versatile boards only supports up to ARMv6 CPUs but Ubuntu's
userspace is ARMv7+, so we currently carry a patch to user an ARMv7
CPU in our linux versatile build, which is hackish.  Vexpress
supports SMP with ARMv7 CPUs, but can of course still run a v5
userspace like Debian's.  Basically, Vexpress should be technically
superior in all respects; notably, it can emulate 1024 MiB of RAM.
  - this would cut down the build time of "linux" on armel by one flavor
out of two; perhaps from 28 hours to 14 hours
  - however, the kernel tree is slightly different: the linaro-vexpress
flavor is based of linux-linaro which includes the Linaro kernel bits
while versatile is built of the linux source package, with less
patches over mainline

  Is there any objection to the removal of the versatile bits?

  NB: I'm seeing two annoying bugs with qemu/vexpress, which I think are
  present with versatile as well: qemu stalls regularly when accessing
  the emulated SD (LP #732223) but eventually proceeds; and some network
  I/O is corrupted or interrupted (LP #799757), but retrying allows to
  proceed.  The latter prevents using things like debootstrap as it can't
  do any retries.

Cheers,


I talked to Oliver Grawert about this. We are quite happy to drop the 
distro versatile flavour in favor of the Linaro packaged 
versatile-express kernel.
