Apparently its had a rewrite and more active support upstream 15:10:42 <pwhalen> hopefully we get firefox by then 15:11:40 <jlinton> I've come to the general conclusion that FF is sort of a long term writeoff 15:12:19 <pwhalen> ouch, that bad eh :( 15:12:22 <jlinton> unless upstream starts to make a serious effort to keep the build sizes down, its going to keep growing, maybe build failures on x86-32 will encourage that 15:13:44 <jlinton> but this has happened before, and people just pulled various levers to make it work at that time 15:14:04 <jlinton> same thing with the recent x86 issue, they just passed a couple flags to the linker to reduce its footprint a bit 15:14:40 <pwhalen> has there been any upstream engagement? 15:14:48 <jlinton> (or fedora cross builds it) 15:15:38 <pbrobinson> yea, not sure there's much we can do at least ATM 15:15:42 <jlinton> I don't think there is an upstream defect directly related to this (part of that is the fedora build is still GCC) 15:15:54 <pbrobinson> I'll bring it up at connect and see what Arm in general wants 15:16:22 <pwhalen> sounds good, thanks 15:16:26 <jlinton> I didn't get a lot of buy in with the couple people I spoke to 15:16:33 <jlinton> mostly because of the general move to aarch64. 15:17:22 <pwhalen> right 15:17:38 <pwhalen> ok, anything else? 15:17:50 <pwhalen> #topic 2) ==== Kernel Status ==== 15:18:04 <pwhalen> #info F30: kernel-5.0.4-300.fc30 15:18:04 <pwhalen> #link https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1238636 15:18:18 <pwhalen> looks like this just landed, will start testing it all around 15:19:11 <pwhalen> saw a soft lockup with kernel-5.0.3-300.fc30 on the arndale, I'll check if thats any better 15:20:08 <pwhalen> #info F31: kernel-5.1.0-0.rc2.git0.1.fc31 15:20:08 <pwhalen> #link https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1238888 15:20:31 <pwhalen> #info Please test and report any issues to the list or #fedora-arm. 15:21:01 <pwhalen> anyone hitting kernel issues? 15:23:00 <pbrobinson> nothing from me 15:23:06 <pbrobinson> well nothing generally 15:23:31 <pwhalen> #topic 3) ==== Bootloader Status ==== 15:23:38 <jlinton> the sysfs stuff looks to be landing soon 15:23:45 <pwhalen> #info uboot-tools-2019.04-0.6.rc4.fc30 15:23:45 <pwhalen> #link https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1236345 15:24:13 <pbrobinson> jlinton: for the vulnerability reporting? 15:24:42 <jlinton> yes 15:24:47 <jlinton> it just missed the merge window 15:24:56 <pbrobinson> I figured it was close 15:26:15 <pwhalen> pbrobinson, anything to note about this uboot rc? 15:26:46 <pbrobinson> I'll be doing a new build probably later today 15:27:08 <pbrobinson> there's nothing of real note, a few known bugs for some devices/boot options 15:27:29 <pwhalen> #info Please test and report any issues to the list or #fedora-arm. 15:27:30 <pbrobinson> there's also a new ATF 2.1rc1 which will be part of that 15:28:42 <pwhalen> anything else for uboot? 15:28:54 <pwhalen> or bootloader 15:29:10 <pbrobinson> please test the grub2/BLS changes# 15:29:39 <pwhalen> #topic 4) == F30 == 15:29:56 <pwhalen> #info Latest nominated nightly - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Installation_Test 15:29:56 <pwhalen> #info F30 Beta Blockers 15:29:56 <pwhalen> #link https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/milestone/30/beta/buglist 15:30:18 <pwhalen> We've got Beta 1.8 landing shortly 15:30:48 <pwhalen> #info Beta 1.8 - Minimal and Workstation AArch64 disk images failed due to an issue with the builder. 15:31:05 <pwhalen> #info Network spoke doesn't appear on ARM initial-setup 15:31:05 <pwhalen> #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1685992 15:31:36 <pwhalen> the network spoke now appears, but the configuration changes dont take effect until rebooted 15:32:16 <pwhalen> Any other issues when testing F30 RC's? 15:33:39 <pwhalen> #topic 5) == Open Floor == 15:35:22 <jlinton> Looks like the fbX master-of-seat problem was solved for "nomodeset" 15:35:27 <jlinton> but that doesn't fix the rpi 15:35:37 <jlinton> (unless you pass nomodeset) 15:36:06 <jlinton> I guess the real solution is to get the vc4 driver to bind properly 15:36:29 <jlinton> (this is with the edk2 firmware) 15:38:19 <pbrobinson> jlinton: I'm not testing the edk2 firmware on the RPi, it seems to work OK with U-Boot, I just don't have the cycles to deal with EDK2 15:38:54 <pwhalen> I've not tested it either but have been meaning to, does it run reasonable well? 15:38:57 <jlinton> Yah, thats fine, I think DT/vc4 will eventually take care of itself 15:39:14 <jlinton> yes, it actually works great 15:39:52 <jlinton> the master-of-seat problem, is the one hangup, and the fact that its fairly slow, but if you set the firmware performance option that helps a lot 15:41:17 <pwhalen> cool, will hopefully get some time soon after beta is released 15:42:35 <jlinton> I need to boot the beta on it... 15:42:49 <jlinton> as well as the hikey 15:43:56 * pwhalen hopes it works ok 15:44:13 <pwhalen> #endmeeting
