Hi Everyone,

I'm working on the GCC Compile Farm. I'm on machine gcc118.fsffrance.org, which is an ARMv8.a machine. The cpu offers CRC and Crypto. The machine runs openSUSE Leap 42.1.

openSUSE Leap 42.1 is discontinued. Please use Leap 15.0 (the latest Leap version) or openSUSE Tumbleweed, the rolling release, with latest software, including latest kernel. Tumbleweed ISO: http://download.opensuse.org/ports/aarch64/tumbleweed/iso/ or: Leap 15.0 ISO: http://download.opensuse.org/ports/aarch64/distribution/leap/15.0/iso/

Thanks Guillaume .

We don't really have a choice in the matter.

Why do you not have a choice here? It really makes little sense to develop against an out of support distribution, no?

Thanks Alex. We don't control the platform; someone else controls it. We are expected to "just work" regardless of the environment. I don't disagree with you about the upgrade. But I would be pissing into the wind if we followed the abondonware development model. The mailing list and bug tracker would fill up with fodder for those not using the latest distros. It is easier on us to support the platform properly. Jeff -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org
