Absolutely agree. None of the lists I've seen have core build root
packages except for the two you mention. There's a number of
differences between the lists I've seen and a lot of the spec patches
that are in the stage4 repos were already upstreamed from the work I'd
done with F-14.

Once the gcc/glibc fixes are in we're good to go. I'd not looked at
pushing them upstream as I'd figured the people who'd been dealing
with them likely had them in hand and knew a lot more of the issues in
hand than I do.

I think for the F-15 build its going to a little break/fix as we go
along as there's likely other bits we've missed or have changed since,
as long as the people that fix those problems commit the fix to all
F-15/16/rawhide branches then and there so the fixes don't get lost
and have to be repeated again.

since we are using external repos and not using importing anything. we
are going to be building the same nvrs in koji so we can not import.
we need to set up the tags specially. without inheritance otherwise the
f14 armv5tel builds will override all the f15 ones.  but there really
is no reason that we can not start building today. i am working on one
patch for koji to deal with how it writes out the mock config files.

even with these still to be resolved, there is zero reason right now

Im sure there will be some small issues crop up, but shouldnt be too
horrible.

I vote that we get building today. why we make sure we get the
gcc/glibc etc things resolved. we can the start mshing some repos and
getting bits out there :)

Do we have softfp and hardfp builder ready to go? koji3 is still
online for armv5tel for builds that need lots of RAM, let me know if
it needs any config updates.

I think these issues would benefit from your attention/direction.

I agree with going with what we've currently got package-wise. But
saying "we should start building today" or "get Koji running...tomorrow"
is missing the point.

We're ready to go the moment we have finished these tasks:
- the gcc/glibc issues are resolved
- we've pruned the package sets back to the same core
- every change/patch in those package sets has been upstreamed
- the hub and builders have been successfully set up and tested with
patched koji/rpm/yum etc.

Work on all these pieces is proceeding in parallel (assuming that
someone's on the gcc/glibc piece (who?)). We're not blocking on any one
piece, but we have to finish these four before hitting 'Go'.

The final patch for gcc, for instance, may never make it into F15.  Even 
the armv7hl spec file changes we pushed upstream are only in .fc16 koji 
builds at this point.  If these changes are in FC16 or rawhide but not 
F15, isn't that good enough?  Why not build packages in parallel too?

:) I'm not so sure. I think the goal should be to get to rawhide as
quickly as possible because it makes all of these problems go away - no
rebuilding retrospectively, not being treated quite so much as a
secondary, and so on (then we push for primary). Given that that is our
general ambition, we should work backward and try to get to that point
as quickly as we can without being too hackish in our approach.

> > We're ready to go the moment we have finished these tasks:
> > - the gcc/glibc issues are resolved

Let's split these in two:

1). gcc. Having seen some of the discussion here with Jakub, etc. it's
clear that the Fedora maintainers aren't going to accept this latest
volatile bitfields patch unless it's in the upstream 4.6 branch (it is
in trunk right now). So there are two upstreams to work with - Fedora,
and GCC. We can try to pursue this, but it is not a quick fix (we're
looking at several weeks to turn it around). At the same time, this
stuff is resolved in rawhide (and I think F16). It would be more
expedient to block updates to gcc being pulled in automatically (which
won't happen at this stage anyway) and either in parallel fix this or
undertake to keep a separate gcc. Really, by the time we release F15
we'll have only 5 months of time when there would be updates anyway.

2). glibc. Seems there's a backport that could perhaps be upstreamed,
and a Java fix that we will need. Again, I favor parallelization. We
build now and try to find a solution that involves either getting this
into upstream Fedora 15 PA or finding an alternative. I don't see a
reason not to build this now though.

> > - we've pruned the package sets back to the same core

I think this is straightforward. We include in the repos only the build
requirements to build a buildroot and start with that. Do some closure
tests on that set and make sure the same packages exist for v5 and v7. I
suspect someone could turn that around tomorrow.

> > - every change/patch in those package sets has been upstreamed

I was thinking that way, but now I think that is a parallel activity. I
am all for getting stuff upstreamed, and it will be especially important
in the coming months, but I think that doesn't need to gate the initial
build. Packages can keep an armX suffix in the initial build, then for
the few dozen (after cutting down the initial build set) that need to be
upstreamed, there will be a higher NVR from upstream soon anyway that
can be rebuilt for both arches with the upstream version.

IOW I think the initial build should proceed now, but that we should not
begin building updates or pulling further bits from upstream until we
have gotten the rest of these deltas resolved. Since the upstream
version will bump once they're fixed, NVRs are preserved, everything
will work. The only critical thing is that we didn't bump the R in a
non-forward thinking fashion, which is why the use of the .armX.

> > - the hub and builders have been successfully set up and tested with
> > patched koji/rpm/yum etc.

I think that should be fairly straightforward now. Dennis has patches
that he has tested in a staging Koji setup so they ought to be working.

Respectfully, I disagree that we need to block on all of them. I think
we can begin building, and in parallel upstream whatever can be
upstreamed, ensuring that for the one or two possible exceptions we have
a plan for F16/F17 along the lines of "in gcc trunk", etc.

Well, Chris is naturally going to be concerned about building updates,
and there is a sense of more correctness in blocking, however I think:

1). We need to resolve a few more things before building updates, but we
buy time to do that and win now by building sooner while we handle that.

2). We are past the time when we should aim for the most complete F15
release. F13 was a wonderful example of a quality ARM release that the
Seneca team (in particular here) should be proud of. BUT there is an
opportunity here to leave all of these problems in the dust if we can
just bring F15 to a good enough close and get to rawhide soon.

I know, I sound pushy. I don't mean to. I'm not calling for the rocket
to be launched for a manned flight before it's ready, I'm saying F15 is

Rewording this to make more sense, what I mean is:

1). Establish correctly named mirrors in Seneca of the arm and armhfp
form, in which the exact same packages are present in both. Initially
form this simply by removing packages not in both v5 and v7 now. That
ought to be fairly simply (DJ's script output can help there).

2). With all of those packages possibly available, start by building
only a buildroot and its deps. If that works, it's a great achievement.
I would ideally like us to reach this point before US Thanksgiving takes
a bunch of us offline this time next week. I think it's doable.

3). With a minimal buildroot (a subset of stage3, which was to get mock
working but wound up also making a bootable system - though stage3 is
fine too for simplicity as a set to built initially) set of packages
built, set that up as a new repo and have it favored in preference to
the external one for building the rest. Then a mass rebuild of packages
present in v5 and v7 from the external repos can begin.

[fedora-arm] Matching SRPMs so far (was Koji status update)

2011-11-17 Thread DJ Delorie

I've taken a moment to ask one of my pretty chart scripts to dump a

repos-so-far.  I put the list here:

http://djdelorie.fedorapeople.org/arm-v5-v7-same.txt

The list doesn't include a few key SRPMs we know we'll need, though,
like kernel, gcc, glibc, and PackageKit.

Thanks. I think the following would be a good procedure to use:

1). For each of kernel, gcc, glibc, PackageKit the higher numbered
version from either armv5tel or armv7hl should be used and thus the one
on the other architecture should be rebuilt. We could cheat with the
fake kernel deps option again for kernel-headers if kernel is a pain. I
don't think PackageKit can be too much trouble to unify, and gcc and
glibc ought to just be build cycles - anyone got time to build them?

2). For each of the resulting packages from the list + 4 copy the
original versions from the stage4 repos into "arm" and "armhfp" external
repo mirrors within Seneca to use as input for Koji.

3). Build the stage3 package set.

4). Create a repo containing the rebuilt stage3 package set, now rebuilt
properly and more guaranteed to be Fedora-ified. Setup a higher prio
repo containing these versions and add it as an external repo.

5). Build the remainder of the packages in the list+4 that can build.

6). Resolve failures through ongoing continued integration of deltas
between v5 and v7 in the background.

Re: [fedora-arm] Matching SRPMs so far (was Koji status update)

2011-11-17 Thread Jon Masters
Since I love replying to myself...I'm thinking out loud here because I
want us to have an agreed series of simple instructions that reduce this
final phase down to a straightforward exercise. I know Dennis thinks the
unified approach is a little overkill and there is an alternative based
on close enough, etc. That's cool too. What I care about is what gets us
to quickly build effectively stage3 again in Koji, and move from there.

Can I recommend therefore that we have a discussion here on the list,
come to a consensus around what list of packages where and how, etc.
then write out the steps in a very straightforward fashion. Otherwise,
we'll have a lot of chat on IRC but we'll run the risk of being at the
same point later because we didn't make sure we're all aligned.

Technically, I'm out of the office on Friday. Technically ;)

I agree this is the goal. we get there quickest by building the things
we can today while we resolve the harder issues at the same time.

there is no need to do any pruning of either package set. after some
further examiniation of the code koji doesnt enforce the strict
matching nvrs in external repos that it does in the repos for packages
built in koji. so what this means is that as long as we are pretty
close we are good to go. at the end we will have a matching package set
on both arches because koji is really good at enforcing that.  so what
we need is to have a mirror of stage4 hfp at
http://australia.proximity.on.ca/fedora-arm/15/armhfp/

we need to get koji updated to the scratch builds i did today. there is
an issue that cropped up that im working on getting a propper fix
upstream in koji, but that will not make any of the build we do today
invalid.  we are close enough in package set that we will not be
getting wild soname differences between the two. thats the main reason
we need them close enough.

ive got koji setup to build things correctly in dist-f15 what we need
now is
1) update koji everywhere to correctly deal with hard and soft float.
2) repo for armhfp
3) generate a newRepo for dist-f15-build
4) start building.

anything that has a different nvr between hfp and sfp we should take
the higher nvr. if the arm fix is already in fedora git we should just
build that package from git. we should not build anything that has the
0.arm etc in it in koji we should build from git the fixed version.
lets build everything in koji we have already built in stage4 and moji.
at the end of doing the builds we will have a extremly solid
foundation. gcc/glibc can get fixed while we build everything else.

parallelise everything we can submitting the builds and filling koji is
really only going to take one person. as soon as we have most
everything built we can start on rawhide. i suspect we will have a mass
rebuild for f17 early in the new year. we want to be ready for that.

building the packages that land in every buildroot first makes sense.
I'm ok with getting that done. the beauty of the way things work is
that as we build the package in koji it gets exlcuded from the external
repo. so there will be no way that once we have the package built and
have the unified version in koji that we accidently use the wrong
version from the external repo. we already have all the f15 ga noarch
rpms imported into koji and tagged into dist-f15. 

i will be taking all of next week off. i will be sparodically doing
some work on the weekend. but next week will be pretty much completely
off-line getting in some needed downtime.

[fedora-arm] FORTIFY_SOURCE

2011-11-17 Thread Jon Masters
Hi Chris,

There was some dialog on IRC recently about compile flags. As near as I
can see it, we ought to be consistent in r-r-c between v5 and v7. Did I
miss something in particular? Just tying up some loose ends here.

Jon.
