I have done a scratch build of 3.8.2-202 [1] and I would like some wider testing especially on armv5tel devices. A quick overview of the status of this kernel on the various devices we support: * Beagle XM - I have it working on my XM! WOO! I plan on generating a test image to allow wider testing of this because I know there's interesting. You need DeviceTree to get it to work. We're missing usb on beagle at the moment, will investigate further in the next couple of days.

Re: [fedora-arm] Patching aarch64 support into Fedora
On Mon, 04 Mar 2013 19:44:16 -0800 Brendan Conoboy b...@redhat.com wrote: Hi everybody, Fedora 19 has many of the enablers for native aarch64 in core packages such as glibc and gcc. Many more packages would compile if config.guess and config.sub recognized aarch64 as a valid architecture, but only the latest version of autoconf knows about aarch64. At last week's fedora-arm meeting we talked about the viability of automatically patching such packages. The outcome of that discussion was that we should first identify how many packages need such a patch, then decide what to do based on that number. Red Hat's Al Stone has written a script which automatically generates patches for each package that needs it (And updates its spec file). After a complete run we can say that ~1850 packages need such a patch. The number may be larger, but it is definitely not smaller, as his only considers autoconf-using packages. If another auto configuration system is in use by a number of packages it too many need updating (cmake?). Now that we have this number, what do we want to do? I see a few options: 1. Do nothing, trip over this issue at least 1850 times during bootstrap. 2. Mail all package owners asking for action. 3. Proven packager commits the patches, package owners take them out once unnecessary. 4. Run autoconf during build, incurring wrath of any packager whose package isn't compatible with the latest autoconf. 5. Your much more sensible idea goes here. What say you? I say we need the list of packages effected. then we can evaluate how critical it is that we take action.

Ultimately there's a number of things like alsa* globus* as well as a lot of X related stuff where upstream should be contacted because they do have regular releases so there's no reason why they shouldn't be fixed by default from upstream.
