Re: GRUB testers on SPARC needed

There is no separate ISO. You can just choose to install GRUB instead of SILO when you install your machine with the current ISO. Just go back to the main menu instead of finishing the installation at the last installation step. Then choose „Install GRUB boot loader“, ignore the two errors

Re: GRUB testers on SPARC needed

Please provide a link to the latest ISO with grub support for sparc64. I will happy to test if it works on my t5120, t5140, and T4-2 systems. Tony On 12/08/2017 05:27 AM, Frans van Berckel wrote: Hi Adrian, On Fri, 2017-12-08 at 13:24 +0100, John Paul Adrian Glaubitz wrote: Hi! We're in

GRUB testers on SPARC needed

Hi! We're in the process of migrating Debian for sparc64 from SILO to GRUB as GRUB upstream is adding support for modern SPARC machines thanks to the work of Eric Snowberg from Oracle. In order to make sure GRUB works on all machines supported by the sparc64 port, we need your help to test GRUB

Re: camp frequently FTBFS on 64bit big endian: camptest-qt (Failed)

We have a new sparc64 porterbox called sakharov.debian.net. Feel free to test your code there. Adrian > On Dec 8, 2017, at 9:49 AM, Andreas Tille wrote: > > Hi Flavien, > > I have put the porter lists of the affected architectures in CC whether > there is somebody who has a

Re: camp frequently FTBFS on 64bit big endian: camptest-qt (Failed)

Hi Flavien, I have put the porter lists of the affected architectures in CC whether there is somebody who has a hint for a better solution than removing these architectures from the supported architectures. This kind of "random failure"[1] is quite hard to debug for somebody who is not familiar
