Fwd: Re: Fwd: Old kernels used for sparc daily builds
Ping! Two more weeks and no answer from either Geert or the SPARC buildd maintainers. I'm CCing this to debian-sparc in the hope to at least get some status update. IMHO the best solution would be to adopt the same setup as on most other architectures: To build the d-i daily images on a buildd. See below for more information on the setup. If I don't get an answer by the end of the year I'll add a note to the daily images overview[1] and possibly similar pages that currently no sparc images can be provided until some steps in to do the necessary work.

Gaudenz Steinlin gaud...@debian.org (23/12/2010): Two more weeks and no answer from either Geert or the SPARC buildd maintainers. Mails can be overlooked by buildd maintainers when they start with “Hi Geert”, indeed. As for the lack of an answer, you can find reasons on -priv...@.

Hi Jurij Excerpts from Jurij Smakov's message of Mit Nov 10 23:02:48 +0100 2010: On Wed, Nov 10, 2010 at 10:43:37PM +0100, Gaudenz Steinlin wrote: Hi Geert You used to build the sparc daily images for d-i. But these images are no longer built since June. Are you still intending to provide daily d-i images for sparc or should someone else take over this job? I'm pretty sure that the images are getting built, as, for example, today's daily contains the binary packages build from version 1.60 of linux-kernel-di-sparc-2.6, which was uploaded to the archive just yesterday. It's just that the kernel which gets installed into the image is old. I don't know how the build works, but it might be that the kernel which makes it onto the iso is the same one the build machine is running (or something :-). There are two different types of images being built to create a CD image. The one currently not beeing built is the d-i image. That's the kernel image and initrd that ends up on the CD. The other is the CD image which is built, but uses the outdated d-i image. So the udebs you have on your CD in the pool directory are taken from the mirrors by the CD build, but the udebs unpacked inside your initrd are still those from June. Hope this clears things up.
