[opensuse-arm] armv5 and armv6 questions
Hi, Will armv5 be dropped or have we only shutdown armv5 scheduler temporary? Which armv6 repo should we use? There are : openSUSE:Factory:ARM:armv6hl/armv6l and openSUSE:Factory:ARM:standard/armv6l.

right now it is temporary, until we get our second OBS binary backend. But if no one cares about armv5, we could also drop it.
The "standard" one is the one which is planned to be the official one. Currently it only contains armv7 binaries so that a boot strap can be started. -- Adrian Schroeter email: adrian@suse.de SUSE LINUX GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstraße 5 90409 Nürnberg Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org
Hi Guillaume,
Which armv6 repo should we use? There are : openSUSE:Factory:ARM:armv6hl/armv6l and
At the moment I use armv6hl/armv6l to (try to) bootstrap an armv6 distro. it is not there yet.
openSUSE:Factory:ARM:standard/armv6l.
That one is some temporary hack from adrian, ignore it for now. it will go away or be replaced by armv6hl once the bootstrap actually succeeded. I think it would be a good idea to get the 12.3 sources built for armv6l (the scheduler) so that you can continue on hacking kiwi+imaging.

ok
ok. What would be the better name: armv6l or armv6hl? Kernel uses armv6l but I guess for us armv6l would be for soft-float and armv6hl for hardfloat?
Yes. Could you do it for me, please? Guillaume

Well, I agree that it is confusing but I made it consistent with armv7hl/armv7l, so it doesn't add an extra layer to the confusions of how to build ARM in the Open Build Service. The RPM distros agreed to use hl for hardfloat distros as a rpm architecture, so I think we should use that one as well (See the same done for e.g. Fedora here: http://japan.proximity.on.ca/koji/). For reasons that I don't understand/remember, the OBS uses however uname -m, so thats where the armv6l is coming from.
I'll need Adrian's powers for that. I'll try to look into it later. Greetings, Dirk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org

it is not uname -m, it is manual setup decision. But it is the same as the kernel does it (it does not know armv7hl either). We can rename all schedulers to hl, but we should do it consistent. And it is kind of a problem, because we already release a v7l distro.
for what? Just setting up a project link using openSUSE:Factory:ARM/standard (containing armv6l) would not work? I thought that is what you wanted the armv7 binaries inside for ? -- Adrian Schroeter email: adrian@suse.de SUSE LINUX GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstraße 5 90409 Nürnberg Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org

Maybe it needs too much work and we could just use a snapshot of Factory (once it will be ready)? Guillaume

Thanks. It seems OBS is quite slow ATM. armv6l does not show up yet: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=devel%3AARM%3A12.3%3AContrib... whereas repo config show that armv6l is enabled for images.

Good, thanks. What was the particular reason to start naming packages armv5 for an ARMv6 architecture? It seems to have created one hell of a confusion. Can those in the know please make sure the wiki pages are updated, so users have a chance to work out what they should use without having to go around the mailing list?

Hi Volker,
Thats actually a misunderstanding. The packages that were called armv5 were actually for ARMv5. Its just that those happen to be compatible with ARMv6. We are just *creating* a ARMv6 distribution.
Sure, which wiki page in particular do you have in mind? Thanks, Dirk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org
