Testing Status

• [http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2005/10/msg00079.html Ignored] for testing

• Need to lower the dep-wait and failed to something reasonable.
• Need to investigate not-for-us and list those that apply in Packages-arch-specific.

• [http://buildd.debian.org/~jeroen/status/architecture.php?a=m68k status] towards those goals.

  • > /usr/include/bits/mathinline.h:128: error: declaration of 'double atan(double)' throws different exceptions

Need Investigation and Bugs Filed

• gerris_0.6.0-2: m68k, `_FPU_MASK_ZM'
• pnet_0.6.12-5: m68k, segfaults
• vtk_4.4.2-8: m68k, throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error'
• pike7.2_7.2.580-4: m68k, floating point exception

• ecj-bootstrap_3.1.1-3.1: m68k&hppa, Can't find 'java.lang'

• imapcopy_1.01-1: not-for-us but why?
• ree_1.3-1: not in arch list (why no longer not-for-us?)

xargs (dh_fixperms)

• Looks something like

{{{> > dh_fixperms > > chown: cannot access > > `dedebian/libcommoncpp2-dev/usr/include/cc++2/cc++/common.h': No such file > > or directory chown: cannot access `TERM=unknown': No such file or directory > > dh_fixperms: command returned error code}}}

• The offending command in dh_fixperms is find debian/caudium -print0 2>/dev/null | xargs -0r chown --no-dereference 0:0, with xargs being the culprit

• Packages known to fail: libcommoncpp2_1.3.19-1, caudium_2:1.4.7-5, mozilla_2:1.7.11-1, openssl097_0.9.7g-4, exiv2_0.7-9.1

  • Packages that are compiled now:

• Workaround: build under kernel 2.4 or better
• debian bug #336461 (findutils/xargs) seems suspiciously similar

linux-2.6

• mac support, especially adb (can't d-i without it)
• atari is missing support for framebuffer. Only one memory chunk can be used. Patches from linux-m68k needed for this.

• How to build a cross-compiler for kernel building: http://people.debian.org/~cts/debian-m68k/cross-compile/

• Kars de Jongk ported new 53c700 SCSI driver (NCR chip for *VME and Amiga (?WarpEngine, A4000T/A4091)) for kernel 2.6.14, but patch is waiting for Roman Zippels DMA patch inclusion in main tree. Works on two Amigas on mine (ij)

linux-2.4

• Atari and Mac SCC serial drivers missing
• Atari ST-RAM swap code broken
