Re: the future of sparc in unstable

Well it is a good start. =D There are still complaints, though haven't seen the bug reports, that modern kernel's are unstable on certain peices of hardware. Personally I can't reproduce any of these issues, I have rolled out the latest kernel for a while now on some of my sparc systems, my T2000

Re: the future of sparc in unstable

BTW, the sparc buildd looks like gcc 4-8.2-21 is successful and so is gcc-4.9.0-1. I've installed them from sid. Crisis averted? Patrick On Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 4:04 PM, Sébastien Bernard wrote: > Le 30/04/2014 20:36, Patrick Baggett a écrit : > > > > > On Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 1:13 PM, Ivo De

I kicked off a gcc build (gcc-4.8_4.8.2-21) last night. It didn't have an errors for me. I now have a bunch of *.deb files: figgles@ghost:~/src$ ls -1 *.deb cpp-4.8_4.8.2-21_sparc.deb g++-4.8-multilib_4.8.2-21_sparc.deb g++-4.8_4.8.2-21_sparc.deb gcc-4.8-base_4.8.2-21_sparc.deb gcc-4.8-locales_4.8
