Hi all,
We are proud to announce the availability of a(n unofficial) Fedora 8 package repository for the ARM architecture.
The package repository has been built for ARMv5 EABI, soft-float, little endian. The majority of the important and frequently used Fedora packages have been built for ARM.
FWIW, I ported OOo to arm-eabi last year, the "vanilla" rpms of the time are at... http://ooo.services.openoffice.org/pub/OpenOffice.org/cws/upload/armeabiport... and that work is now integrated into 2.4.0 as in rawhide so in theory for F9 it should build out of the box.
At the time there was no ecj/libgcj port to arm-eabi so the extra flag to OOo's configure required to workaround that was --without-java, I see java-1.5.0-gcj-devel in the repo now so that's presumably unnecessary now.
I certainly hope so. Lennert and I have done a lot of work to get gcj working on ARM EABI, so if anything fails I'd appreciate a heads-up. Yeah, I know it's rather slow. :-)
Andrew.
