dormito | anyone know of any work/plans for a riscv devuan? | 01:40 |
---|---|---|
kilobyte | dormito: once someone actually has some working hardware, and so on... | 01:50 |
kilobyte | I for one patched stuff with my name on it (inc. openrc), and a bunch of other packages... but there's only so much fun in qemu | 01:52 |
kilobyte | a port with no hardware, no bootloader, etc, is too early for distro work. You can do porting for fun/job, but it's not for wider consumption yet. | 01:55 |
dormito | ah ok. well I just got my sifive hifive unleased board + PCIe expasion board (comes with a buildroot linux system). and was wondering if there was any movent in that directions, but yeah the boards are too scarce atm | 02:04 |
kilobyte | lucky bastard :) | 02:07 |
kilobyte | best to look in Debian for now; applying Devuan changes is a matter of recompiling a bunch of packages -- there's nothing arch-specific I think | 02:08 |
kilobyte | there can be odd build failures but that's something to deal with once the stuff is in Debian unstable | 02:09 |
dormito | well atm I'm trying to get SiFive's tool kit to build (which builds the buidroot among other things). But it looks like they didn't properly take care of glibc's recent move of the makedev macro | 02:10 |
kilobyte | the stuff in debian-ports is a weird mix of (unofficial) unstable + unreleased | 02:11 |
kilobyte | you'd want to jump in #debian-riscv on OFTC | 02:15 |
kilobyte | they got working glibc but it's waiting for DAK changes for upload to unstable; most of the toolchain is in a similar state but with unreleased most of the archive is successfully built | 02:17 |
kilobyte | I haven't used it beyond qemu-user, those folks can tell you more | 02:17 |
dormito | hmmm doesn't upstream glibc (as of 2.27) support riscv? | 02:18 |
kilobyte | not well enough to build without patches :p | 02:19 |
kilobyte | but that work is done, waiting only for infrastructure issues elsewhere | 02:19 |
