Bug#190399: Some updates of amd64 developement
Hi,
On Monday 28 April 2003 05:51, GOTO Masanori wrote:
Well, that's right. BTW, I still wonder how to support IA32 binaries.
You're planning to support x86-64 native package with this patch for
the present?
No, this patch is meant to bring i386/amd64 to the point where s390 and
sparc are. Support for native packages is one of the next steps. I want
to do s390x and amd64 at the same time, even if s390x might stay out of
the official Debian mirrors.
The port is now so far complete that you can use an existing linux
with a 64 bit kernel running to cdebootstrap sarge /chroot
http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/;. I believe all build-essential
packages (except build-essential) are there too. Thats the next step.
As we discussed a few week ago, is dpkg change needed?
The most important change that is required for dpkg is to make it
possible to mix 64 and 32 bit packages on i386/amd64 (and s390{,x},
for that matter). It looks like we also need a new field in the
control file to better handle the naming of packages, e.g.
Package: libncurses5
AltPackage: lib64ncurses5
On irc ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) we discussed the dpkg subarch
support and the naming scheme. We found that dpkg should use the
compatible arch and compatible abi settings from its subarch table to
find suitable packages to resolve Depends. The difference between a
ABI compatible (libs) depends would be denoted by adding {abi} to the
name.
Further fixing dpkg to allow two packages with the same name but
different ABI to be installed in parallel we could drop the 64 in
lib64ncurses5 and all other libs completly. That would make porting
much less work.
Another change that might be helpful is to have an 'Architecture:
anylib64' and 'Architecture: anylib' or similar option that can
either be expanded by dpkg-gencontrol or identified by dpkg and
apt.
??? what do you mean there?
If you have roadmap or policy to support x86-64, could you tell
us?
Gerhard Tonn is currently experimenting with some options on an s390x
system. It is not sure if it works out like this, but our current
idea is roughly:
- - Fix autoconf to set ${libdir} correctly on 64 bit systems
Aparently not wnated by upstream but we came to the same conclusion.
- - Add a dpkg-libinfo program similar to dpkg-architecture that
knows about library paths etc.
Present.
- - Make dpkg know about the extra features in the control files.
- - Add support for automatically detecting /lib64 paths to
dh_install, dh_movefiles and dh_installdirs. They will try
to do the right thing and give a warning if the packager
e.g. wrote /usr/lib/* instead of $(libdir)/* or /usr/lib64/*.
- - Convert all 'required' and 'important' library packages to a dual
lib / lib64 system. They must be installable for both 64 and 32
bit at the same time.
- - Make all 'standard' packages build with 64 bit. Standard libraries
should be installable for both 64 and 32 bit at the same time.
- - 64 bit library packages should be named like lib64foo3
The name for all archs should be the same. Different names need a lot
of changes to Build-depends lines that can't be done with shlibs magic
like Depends. Using dpkg/apt to fetch the right ABI sounds more
reasonable.
- - Build-essential -dev packages should allow being installed for both
64 and 32 bit, the names should be like lib64foo3-dev.
See above.
- - Non-build-essential -dev packages should have the same name for
64 and 32 bit packages (e.g. libfoo3-dev) because of the dependencies
on them.
If they are not installable at the same time they have to Conflict.
Gerhard is trying this on an s390x machine, starting from a working
/lib based system, I'll start with an i386 system running on an Opteron
once I get access.
Is there a patch repository for s390 somewhere or could we move all
the patches onto debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org?
+ifeq ($(DEB_HOST_GNU_CPU),i386)
Umm, why is it i386? Should be x86-64?
Like on s390x, the debian architecture name is still the 32 bit one.
Until dpkg knows about the relation between 64 and 32 bit architectures,
we cannot make native 64 bit packages. Later, this will be
i386 || amd64 || s390 || s390x || sparc || sparc64
or rather, checking a different variable.
sh-2.05b# dpkg-architecture
DEB_BUILD_ARCH=amd64
DEB_BUILD_GNU_CPU=x86_64
DEB_BUILD_GNU_SYSTEM=linux
DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE=x86_64-linux
DEB_HOST_ARCH=amd64
DEB_HOST_GNU_CPU=x86_64
DEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM=linux
DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE=x86_64-linux
sh-2.05b# dpkg --print-architecture
i486
+ifeq ($(DEB_HOST_GNU_CPU),i386)
+ arch_packages += lib64c6 lib64c6-dev
+endif
+
ifeq ($(DEB_HOST_GNU_CPU),s390)
arch_packages += $(libc)-s390x $(libc)-dev-s390x
endif
only in patch2:
unchanged:
It means that if build architecture is i386, libc-64 is also made.
However, I wonder it's really needed.
Not strictly needed, but helpful. If we want to make the i386 gcc-3.3
package

The glibc packagers cannot define a conflicts against a kernel package which does not exist yet. Conflicts on kernel packages are a dubious idea anyway: kernel packages you happen to have installed don't necessarily correspond to what you're running, and you don't have to use kernel packages at all.

It's also worth remembering that the packaged refused to install, and the reporter forced it to anyway. So there was at least some warning.

INFANT-PEDIATRIC PROSTHETICS MARKET Children ages 0 to 14 comprise 5% of the total $2 billion prosthetic market, $100 million. The vast majority of this 5% pediatric prosthetic market derives from babies born with a limb loss. There are approximately 145,000 first time amputations each year, meaning first time fittings. Of these 145,000 first time amputations, less than 1% or approximately 1,000 babies born with a limb loss. PDPR is the only infant-pediatric prosthetics company focusing on these unique needs.

This cycle will continue into the child's early adolescence, 13 to 14 years of age, after which growth slows requiring only a re-socket every two years and a new system perhaps every 4 years. The economic cost from infancy to adulthood is anticipated to be over $200,000 for a below elbow amputee. Adults will spend an additional $200,000 on their artificial arms. Revenue growth is directly correlated with the physical growth of the children. PDPR's management model for growth combines the strength and expertise of upper and lower extremity specialists with over 50 years of combined experience. PDPR MANAGEMENT TEAM Eighteen years ago, Linda Putback-Bean, President of PDPR, was involved with fitting the very first baby with a new small myoelectric hand. Shortly after this fitting, Linda with Mr. Haslam, designed a new system for the small prosthesis, and trained the child and parents how to operate and maintain it. That child has since grown to young manhood and is now a star player on his high school varsity football team. The management team of PDPR is nationally recognized as the leading prosthetists in the infant-pediatric prosthetics field. PDPR's management has recently been featured in, Orthotics Prosthetics Business News, written up in Life Magazine, and some of the fitted children have appeared on national TV shows, including Good Morning America, Maury Povich, Phil Donahue, and 20-20.

Bug#190399: Some updates of amd64 developement
Hi,
On Monday 28 April 2003 05:51, GOTO Masanori wrote:
Well, that's right. BTW, I still wonder how to support IA32 binaries.
You're planning to support x86-64 native package with this patch for
the present?
No, this patch is meant to bring i386/amd64 to the point where s390 and
sparc are. Support for native packages is one of the next steps. I want
to do s390x and amd64 at the same time, even if s390x might stay out of
the official Debian mirrors.
The port is now so far complete that you can use an existing linux
with a 64 bit kernel running to cdebootstrap sarge /chroot
http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/;. I believe all build-essential
packages (except build-essential) are there too. Thats the next step.
As we discussed a few week ago, is dpkg change needed?
The most important change that is required for dpkg is to make it
possible to mix 64 and 32 bit packages on i386/amd64 (and s390{,x},
for that matter). It looks like we also need a new field in the
control file to better handle the naming of packages, e.g.
Package: libncurses5
AltPackage: lib64ncurses5
On irc ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) we discussed the dpkg subarch
support and the naming scheme. We found that dpkg should use the
compatible arch and compatible abi settings from its subarch table to
find suitable packages to resolve Depends. The difference between a
ABI compatible (libs) depends would be denoted by adding {abi} to the
name.
Further fixing dpkg to allow two packages with the same name but
different ABI to be installed in parallel we could drop the 64 in
lib64ncurses5 and all other libs completly. That would make porting
much less work.
Another change that might be helpful is to have an 'Architecture:
anylib64' and 'Architecture: anylib' or similar option that can
either be expanded by dpkg-gencontrol or identified by dpkg and
apt.
??? what do you mean there?
If you have roadmap or policy to support x86-64, could you tell
us?
Gerhard Tonn is currently experimenting with some options on an s390x
system. It is not sure if it works out like this, but our current
idea is roughly:
- - Fix autoconf to set ${libdir} correctly on 64 bit systems
Aparently not wnated by upstream but we came to the same conclusion.
- - Add a dpkg-libinfo program similar to dpkg-architecture that
knows about library paths etc.
Present.
- - Make dpkg know about the extra features in the control files.
- - Add support for automatically detecting /lib64 paths to
dh_install, dh_movefiles and dh_installdirs. They will try
to do the right thing and give a warning if the packager
e.g. wrote /usr/lib/* instead of $(libdir)/* or /usr/lib64/*.
- - Convert all 'required' and 'important' library packages to a dual
lib / lib64 system. They must be installable for both 64 and 32
bit at the same time.
- - Make all 'standard' packages build with 64 bit. Standard libraries
should be installable for both 64 and 32 bit at the same time.
- - 64 bit library packages should be named like lib64foo3
The name for all archs should be the same. Different names need a lot
of changes to Build-depends lines that can't be done with shlibs magic
like Depends. Using dpkg/apt to fetch the right ABI sounds more
reasonable.
- - Build-essential -dev packages should allow being installed for both
64 and 32 bit, the names should be like lib64foo3-dev.
See above.
- - Non-build-essential -dev packages should have the same name for
64 and 32 bit packages (e.g. libfoo3-dev) because of the dependencies
on them.
If they are not installable at the same time they have to Conflict.
Gerhard is trying this on an s390x machine, starting from a working
/lib based system, I'll start with an i386 system running on an Opteron
once I get access.
Is there a patch repository for s390 somewhere or could we move all
the patches onto debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org?
+ifeq ($(DEB_HOST_GNU_CPU),i386)
Umm, why is it i386? Should be x86-64?
Like on s390x, the debian architecture name is still the 32 bit one.
Until dpkg knows about the relation between 64 and 32 bit architectures,
we cannot make native 64 bit packages. Later, this will be
i386 || amd64 || s390 || s390x || sparc || sparc64
or rather, checking a different variable.
sh-2.05b# dpkg-architecture
DEB_BUILD_ARCH=amd64
DEB_BUILD_GNU_CPU=x86_64
DEB_BUILD_GNU_SYSTEM=linux
DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE=x86_64-linux
DEB_HOST_ARCH=amd64
DEB_HOST_GNU_CPU=x86_64
DEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM=linux
DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE=x86_64-linux
sh-2.05b# dpkg --print-architecture
i486
+ifeq ($(DEB_HOST_GNU_CPU),i386)
+ arch_packages += lib64c6 lib64c6-dev
+endif
+
ifeq ($(DEB_HOST_GNU_CPU),s390)
arch_packages += $(libc)-s390x $(libc)-dev-s390x
endif
only in patch2:
unchanged:
It means that if build architecture is i386, libc-64 is also made.
However, I wonder it's really needed.
Not strictly needed, but helpful. If we want to make the i386 gcc-3.3
package

The reason is quite simple - the Cobalts are not yet an officially supported subarchitecture in Debian. We are working on it, but before they can get officially supported, a bunch of Cobalt-specific issues must be resolved. The glibc packagers cannot define a conflicts against a kernel package which does not exist yet. Conflicts on kernel packages are a dubious idea anyway: kernel packages you happen to have installed don't necessarily correspond to what you're running, and you don't have to use kernel packages at all. They are therefore both annoying and unreliable, which is not the best combination. libc's preinst has some uname checks in place of such conflicts. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

It's also worth remembering that the packaged refused to install, and the reporter forced it to anyway. So there was at least some warning. The preinst can easily verify minimum kernel version, which is probably a better solution. We don't require Debian-built kernels, so can't reliably just conflicts on the package.

Bug#40263: OTC FIRST ALERT - New Public Company of the Month
Symbol: PDPR Market: PK Sector: Infant-Pediatric Prosthetics BREAKING NEWS: HOUSTON, Nov 7, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Pediatric Prosthetics Goes Public Through a Reverse Merger and will be trading under the symbol PDPR. BREAKING NEWS: LAKE HARMONY, PA, Nov. 13, 2003 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- The OTC Report Starts Pediatric Prosthetics Inc. (OTC: PDPR) with a Buy Rating and announces that the company will now be trading under the symbol PDPR. THE NATIONAL PROSTHETICS INDUSTRY The national prosthetics industry is estimated at nearly $2 billion annually and is extremely fragmented. PDPR is a New Public Company and has already developed a strong hold in the Infant-Pediatric Prosthetics segment. This infant segment, ages 0 to 14 comprise of 5% or $100 million of the total $2 billion national prosthetic market. PDPR developed this strong hold on this segment by focusing on the infant-pediatric prosthetics segment. PDPR was conceived and designed to address this segment, which requires specialized expertise to meet the needs of these babies and their families. PDPR, a New Public Company, hopes to repeat the success of another in the prosthetics industry, Hanger, Inc. Hanger, Inc. is currently trades on the NYSE under HGR, has a market cap of approx. $340 million and trades at around $16. If a child lost an arm in an accident, the entire national medical community would go into high gear. They do everything to try to replace the loss, and as quickly as possible. PDPR knows that accidents happen before birth too. One tiny fiber, designed to support the fetus in the mother's womb, sometimes breaks, and somehow loops around the baby's tiny little arm or leg, and keeps it from developing. Sometimes an unknowable and unfortunate combination of genes can cause the loss. These losses have created a need in the industry that must be filled to enable these infants the best chance to develop. PDPR is the only infant-pediatric prosthetics company focusing on the unique needs of these babies born with a limb loss. INFANT-PEDIATRIC PROSTHETICS MARKET Children ages 0 to 14 comprise 5% of the total $2 billion prosthetic market, $100 million. The vast majority of this 5% pediatric prosthetic market derives from babies born with a limb loss. There are approximately 145,000 first time amputations each year, meaning first time fittings. Of these 145,000 first time amputations, less than 1% or approximately 1,000 babies born with a limb loss. PDPR is the only infant-pediatric prosthetics company focusing on these unique needs. The vast majority of the Prosthetists are overworked, fragmented and work out of a single clinic with an intensely local focus. PDPR believes that to address this dispersed market, it must be done on a national scale creating a national presence in order to serve the geographically dispersed demand. PDPR is the vehicle conceived and designed to fill that role. MARKET POTENTIAL By focusing on the infant-pediatric need, PDPR will generate a consistent revenue stream by servicing their clients from childhood to adulthood. This annuity effect should compound earnings year after year and enable PDPR to enjoy stable growth. After the initial first infant fitting, each child will need a re-socket of the prosthesis each of the next two years due to simple fact of growth. Every third year a child will need a complete new myoelectric system with new larger components. This cycle will continue into the child's early adolescence, 13 to 14 years of age, after which growth slows requiring only a re-socket every two years and a new system perhaps every 4 years. The economic cost from infancy to adulthood is anticipated to be over $200,000 for a below elbow amputee. Adults will spend an additional $200,000 on their artificial arms. Revenue growth is directly correlated with the physical growth of the children. PDPR's management model for growth combines the strength and expertise of upper and lower extremity specialists with over 50 years of combined experience. PDPR MANAGEMENT TEAM Eighteen years ago, Linda Putback-Bean, President of PDPR, was involved with fitting the very first baby with a new small myoelectric hand. Shortly after this fitting, Linda with Mr. Haslam, designed a new system for the small prosthesis, and trained the child and parents how to operate and maintain it. That child has since grown to young manhood and is now a star player on his high school varsity football team. The management team of PDPR is nationally recognized as the leading prosthetists in the infant-pediatric prosthetics field. PDPR's management has recently been featured in, Orthotics Prosthetics Business News, written up in Life Magazine, and some of the fitted children have appeared on national TV shows, including Good Morning America, Maury Povich, Phil Donahue, and 20-20. With thousands of successful fittings, the prosthetics team for PDPR is poised to give the most cost effective service to their
