It doesn't boot yet 20:06:03 right 20:06:14 2. It relies on systemd instead of grubby to install the new kernel infrastructure 20:06:21 But systemd is broken in this regard. 20:06:31 This is BZ #965897 20:06:39 * j_dulaney has something while we're on kernel 20:06:41 Bah! say it ain't so! 20:06:51 dmarlin: :) 20:07:10 #info systemd's kernel-install calls new-kernel-pkg with wrong parameters 20:07:10 jonmasters hugs his favorite systemd ... :) :) :) 20:07:16 :) 20:07:17 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=965897 20:07:26 that's all I have 20:07:51 bconoboy: does anyone doing systemd now how to install an arm kernel, and what is needed? 20:07:52 Chromebook has to wait until 3.11 20:08:05 s/now/know/ 20:08:19 dmarlin: systemd itself calls new-kernel-pkg, but uses a bad command line parameter. I put a patch into the bz that fixes it 20:08:38 thanks Brendan 20:09:28 bconoboy: does systemd require uboot-tools as a dependencyon arm? 20:09:40 is java-1.7.0-openjdk fixed? 20:09:46 (from last week) 20:09:59 dmarlin: no, but grubby does 20:10:03 looks like we have a build in progress now 20:10:19 bconoboy: that --install thing might be a problem since I can see them saying that's by design, but..we'll see how that BZ goes 20:11:00 anyone aware of anything else? 20:11:27 ok, moving on.. 20:11:35 It looks like othe recent openjdk builds succeeded 20:12:17 looks like dgilmore is working on it 20:12:40 #topic 2) Kernel Status Update 20:12:57 bconoboy: btw Linaro report zero build of OpenJDK on AArch64 20:13:11 (just while mentioning OpenJDK) 20:13:22 this is also Peter's topic, in my testing 3.10 is not yet booting on any platform 20:13:42 anyone else have anything to add to the kernel status? 20:13:49 See my above 20:13:54 * j_dulaney should have waited 20:14:00 I think basically 3.10 needs some love 20:14:01 #info 3.10 not yet fully baked 20:14:30 but also perhaps worth mentioning that Linaro have someone who will work with Paul to help testing of upstream kernels 20:14:32 +1 20:15:28 next? 20:15:33 y 20:15:47 #undo 20:15:47 Removing item from minutes: 20:15:56 #info 3.10 not yet booting on any arm platform successfully 20:15:58 #topic 3) Aarch64 20:16:00 (tnx dmarlin) 20:16:07 ty 20:16:11 #topic 3a) aarch64 status update 20:16:20 jonmasters_: what kernel rev is Linaro based on atm ? 20:16:30 The aarch64 package queue is more or less empty now 20:16:43 At this point we need to fix failed builds to make further progress 20:17:02 bconoboy: anything to be fixed urgently? 20:17:18 MSalter is building qt now- that will free up a lot of packages 20:17:54 When we rebuild gcc with java support that will also help 20:18:17 If you look at the nightly report just have a gander at the top-10 missing dependency list 20:19:01 On that you'll see ghc, qt (kde needs qt), java, SDL_mixer-devel and globus-core 20:19:09 Not sure what's holding back SDL 20:19:20 * j_dulaney is still poking ghc 20:19:23 ddd__: https://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=kernel/linux-linaro-tracking.git;a=summary 20:19:24 we also have a page that shows the packages that fail to build for non-dependecy issues: 20:19:27 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/AArch64/Stage4_Problem_Packages 20:19:28 ddd__: https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/DevPlatform/LinuxLinaroKernelTreeProcess 20:19:49 #link Help with broken builds, adopt one on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/AArch64/Stage4_Problem_Packages 20:20:12 bconoboy: i could look at the SDL 20:20:13 jonmasters_: yeah, already found it; /me inpatient.... thanks for verification I got it right though.... Linaro has quite the git list! 20:20:21 yup 20:20:24 msalter: Are you doing something with SDL now? 20:20:42 it'll be funny if we fix SDL before we're really using systems with framebuffers 20:21:23 jonmasters_: if it builds, it doesn't necesarilly mean it works :D 20:21:36 :) 20:21:39 * j_dulaney knows that all too well 20:21:40 Basically we can try unlocking builds by solving dependencies, but it's really time to track down individual build failures. Please visit dmarlin's list and grab something interesting. 20:21:51 jonmasters_: I guess we only need to build that 20:22:09 jcapik: Marcin already found that with the Xorg binaries - weird endian issue was resulting in byte swapped framebuffer 20:22:19 bconoboy: thanks 20:22:23 jonmasters_: :D :D 20:22:36 jonmasters_: i wanna see a photo! 20:22:52 jcapik: G+ has one somewhere - if I see it (it was a while back) I'll show you 20:23:03 thx 20:23:21 pwhalen: I think that's it 20:23:38 #topic 4) Fedora 19 beta for ARM 20:23:46 #topic 4a) Fedora 19 Beta for ARM - adding a GUI to the unified image 20:24:15 is there any technical reason we are not including XFCE on the image? 20:24:34 dgilmore: We'd like an f19 beta rc image with xfce or similar installed for testing 20:25:05 that would be great, easier to test..installing now on the rc2 20:25:37 Since tegra evidently has the ability, we should provide the binaries needed in beta. 20:25:53 Not to mention we'll want it to diagnose the issues with vexpress and panda 20:25:59 agreed, if we want to ship for final 20:26:18 going to also test on omap as well, see if anything has changed 20:26:32 or Panda specifically 20:26:37 dgilmore? 20:26:56 * masta waves 20:27:04 #info These is a desire in the fedora-arm community for an xfce f19-beta image 20:27:26 ok, next? 20:28:02 #topic 4b) Fedora 19 for ARM - VFAD Results summary 20:28:11 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Quality_Assurance/2013-05-21-VFAD-Fedora_19_Beta_RC2 20:28:35 thank you, pwhalen, for all your testing. 20:28:37 good job pwhalen. we are all lazy slackers because you let us be :-) 20:29:07 +1 20:29:10 everything is looking better, omap should be fixed in the next RC, will be working nicely with abc now.. trimslice works great, and highbank installs without input, using abc at the end 20:29:14 of the ks 20:29:37 exynos5 testing welcome! and beagleboard 20:30:05 pwhalen: are the kickstarts used for making image and installing available anywhere? 20:30:07 anything else? questions? 20:30:36 oh, worth noting RH got two Arndales 20:30:40 dmarlin, not the one I used, it was your ks with the removal of the boot.scr bits and addition of abc 20:30:47 pwhalen: exynos5 boots, but drivers are not loading 20:30:53 I reached out to Samsung and got them, so we can at least internally help with some Exynos5 Arndale testing 20:31:01 pwhalen: it might be nice to post those somewhere, for reference 20:31:04 (in addition to Chromebook) 20:31:14 pwhalen: perhaps you could attached the ks used somewhere and point to it from the vfad page? 20:31:15 cool! j_dulaney it was a long shot, but thanks for testing.. 20:31:20 * whenry got his beaglebone back yesterday 20:31:31 bconoboy, sure can, will add to my people acct, link forth coming 20:31:43 pwhalen: thanks 20:31:54 [1;3D/win 11 20:31:54 pwhalen: I only knew it was booting at all by tapping the serial console over uart 20:31:54 pwhalen: perfecto 20:32:15 #action pwhalen to post ks used for highbank F19 Beta RC2 Install, add to the vfad wiki page 20:32:17 * whenry wonders if he can help with dmarlin's list 20:32:18 jonmasters: We'll need to figure out the uboot+blob situation to officially support arndale- perhaps we can discuss during open floor 20:33:38 next? 20:33:40 ok 20:33:48 #topic 5) Flock Plannning 20:34:08 Roll Call: Who is definitely going?
