The good news is I should get a decent block of time in which to work
on sparc/linux this week.

libc6.shlibs

1998-04-19 Thread Eric Delaunay

Hello Juan,

  the libc6.shlibs file contains the a reference to the 2.0.91 revision for
libm instead of 2.0.92:

  libm6   libc6 (= 2.0.91)

The side effect is that when a package is linked to libm, dpkg-shlibdeps 
reports two
libc6 dependencies (one for libm and the other for libc):

  Depends: libc6 (= 2.0.91), libc6 (= 2.0.92)

It's easy to fix by editing /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6.shlibs in the meantime 
before a new
libc6 upload.

Regards.

SIGPWR

1998-04-19 Thread Eric Delaunay

Hello,

  I'm trying to build sysvinit 2.74-4 but init.c refers to SIGPWR macro which
is not defined on sparc.  Neither the kernel sparc sources (2.0.33  2.1.78
checked) nor the libc6-dev package provide it.
Refering to the manpage signal(7), SIGPWR could be 29, but it is also SIGLOST.
What is it's real value ?

Thanks in advance.

From what I've been able to determine, that is due to missing math-emulation
in the kernel. I've been trying to get python to work, and had similar
problems. Running with a recent 2.1 kernel from vger got rid of the SIGFPE:s,
so now I get SIGSEGV in libm.so:feupdateenv() instead... :-/

/bin/kill is broken! (was Re: SIGPWR)

Aaargh! (or, I just tried to figure it out...) It seems that there is
some confusion about which signals do what on the sparc. bash does not
list a PWR signal, /bin/kill does. So I tried /bin/kill -PWR to see what
signal I got:

susan# /bin/kill -PWR $!
[1]+  User defined signal 1   ./strace sleep 300

Hmm, USR1 is 30 according to bash  signal.h. Lets try /bin/kill -USR1:

susan# /bin/kill -USR1 $!  
[1]+  Bus error   ./strace sleep 300

It would seem that /bin/kill is sending signals according to i386 signal
numbers... From what I can gather, sparc doesn't really have a PWR signal
at the moment, Solaris (and presumably SunOS) use 19 (which is SIGCONT for
us). This may be somthing to ask on the sparclinux list...

Regards,
/Anders
