Doubts about 'bsdtar -m'
by Tilman Sauerbeck 03 Jun '10

03 Jun '10

Hi, in pkgutils-cross.git, commit 3f0931c4294981d3e3edb8c8ba8e422a4dd3a442 you added the -m flag to the bsdtar call that's used to extract source archives. That flag causes bsdtar to ignore the mtimes contained in the archive. This causes build failures for eg the module-init-tools port: In module-init-tools-3.11.1.tar.bz2, aclocal.m4 is stored after configure. When extracting with -m, aclocal.m4 will have a newer mtime than configure. When you call make, it will realize the time difference and will regenerate the configure script. For me, the newly created configure script then fails horribly. I don't think you should need -m. Can you give an example of what problem it fixed? Regards, Tilman -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?

Native compilations on handhelds.
by Victor Martinez 17 May '10

17 May '10

Hello, I have been doing some test with native compilations under handhelds (at the moment I'm trying on htc-prophet). I noticed what Fredick told me about the -pipe flag, which seems to kill memory (only with 64Mb). I want to know your opinions about this and another topic related to native compilations and the commits in native git repos. I think it can be a good idea to remove the -pipe flags in ports which have it hardcoded (like perl). In this way we can let native building work with devices which don't have too much amount of ram. Related to ram are sources too, xz and lzma needs more ram to be uncompressed (their size is smaller that bz2 sources) and then it's impossible in devices with small amount of ram. I hope this can be interesting. Waiting your comments and suggestions. Regards, Victor. -- Learning bit by bit. Victor Martinez | http://lokalix.dyndns.org

Preparing the release CRUX-ARM 2.6
by pitillo＠crux-arm.nu 17 May '10

17 May '10

Hello, thinking in the first release of CRUX-ARM 2.6. What do you think to make it for next week? The 4th CRUX-ARM release candidate (RC4) has been tested for both, no-eabi and eabi. The current status for them is quite good: no-eabi: It's working fine on Jornada 720 (with a 2GB compact flash card, at the moment there are some problems[1]) and versatile (qemu) eabi: It's working fine on ipaq 191x, htc-prophet (qtek S200), htc-elf (htc Touch) and versatile (qemu). Suggestions, comments and opinions are welcome. Regards, Victor. [1] There are problems trying to run it in a 4GB compact flash. Working on progress about this topic.
