Raphael, I believe we have consensus on the port architecture name of powerpcspe. Is there any chance we can get the attached patch merged soon? I'd like to move forward with getting an unofficial debian-ports.org repository created and they won't do that until a patch has been merged to

* Moffett, Kyle D | 2010-04-22 19:17:17 [-0500]: Not really... If you build GCC with --enable-e500_double it produces code that is not quite binary compatible with code generated without that option, because it indicates that the GPRs have an extra shadow 32 high bits that can be only accessed by

Hi! [ Sorry for the delay, been moving house. ] First I wanted to comment on some things said on the bug reports and debian-devel. Yes, lpia was a mistake, I'd have preferred that the Ubuntu people would have created a new repository with a rebuilt i386 architecture tailored for Atom

Ping? Raphael, any chance we could get more discussion or agreement from the dpkg developers regarding the e500v2 architecture name? Both Sebastian and I are in full agreement that the name e500v2 most accurately describes the fundamental architecture. I've included the summarized rationale for

* Moffett, Kyle D | 2010-03-25 17:49:33 [-0500]: We can just use --enable-e500-double when building (recent?) GCC. Yep, looks good. Ok, so hopefully we can all agree on e500v2? That's the name I'm going to go ahead and use in my newest build-cycle. Yep, I think so. However we will see what will
