Re: [pygame] Closing issue 211 with big-endian CPU test

Ok. We can leave big endian support until we get testing up and going again (if someone cares to test it). One of the main reasons I spent so long on the launchpad stuff is to get PPAs working. So, I closed the bug with a remark about not supporting big endian.​

Re: [pygame] Closing issue 211 with big-endian CPU test

Is there a need to continue big-endian support? I mean, we leave in the big-endian specific code, but just leave it untested. Worry about it only if the need arises. Lenard Lindstrom On 15-10-23 08:07 AM, René Dudfield wrote: Hi, Interesting. I didn't know you could do that ( and that, and

Hi, Interesting. I didn't know you could do that ( and that, and that). Thanks for the information. By the way, the webhooks can be added through the bitbucket admin interface. Any of the admins can add them in there. Am I able to add other users to the launchpad pygame team? I'd probably want

Re: [pygame] Closing issue 211 with big-endian CPU test

So this is a pretty long, boring, and quite frankly disturbing story on one dark late night... tldr; launchpad builds are working again, but it's still failing a test. Also, we have arm builds now on the PPA :) However, launchpad does not do PPC builds for PPAs yet... So qemu it is! Well,

Re: [pygame] Closing issue 211 with big-endian CPU test

Oh! Of course... I forgot... Before someone goes off to try to build with qemu... Launchpad builds many different architectures, including on powerpc. https://launchpad.net/builders There's currently a problem with launchpad importing the git branch... that I'm trying to fix right now.

Re: [pygame] Closing issue 211 with big-endian CPU test

Hi, you can test with qemu emulating a powerpc machine running debian. http://create.stephan-brumme.com/big-endian/ http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/HOWTO-Debug-Endian-Issues I haven't tried it in a few years, but it did work quite easily. cu

Re: [pygame] Closing issue 211 with big-endian CPU test

Oh damn. I went through a fair bit of trouble to get launchpad working again so it could even pull from github. It turns out no one is maintaining bzr bazaar anymore, and it does not handle the hg to git extra fields. I had to truncate the git history, which removes any HG:rename fields, which

I asked here for PPC and ARM builds: https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/272739 There's other people asking for builds there... so maybe they'll enable it. (like here: https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/272599 ) best, On Thu, Oct 22, 2015 at 4:15 PM, René

Re: [pygame] Closing issue 211 with big-endian CPU test

I’m half tempted to take you up on the offer just for the challenge of it, but my time isn’t so free either. Would it be a good idea to post this request on the pygame.org site where others could find it? There must be someone who’d be happy to do this. ~ Michael > Lenard committed changes
