Hi All,

I've been working on getting Fedora 14 moving forward with the assistance of Dennis.

I've almost got the build root done except for a few notable exceptions (glibc, python, perl, sqlite, nss I'm looking at you....) and the things that depend on them.

A lot of the of the failures (python/sqlite/nss) are in the test suites so they should be relatively easy to fix. I want to try and get upstream to either fix or disable the offending issue where possible.

The glibc issue is interesting... it seems its a regression from F-13, we had to apply a patch for F-13 but even with all that in place I still get some failures. So it seems to be a regression (and we're seeing it on the F-15 glibc one as well. I'll do some more testing and follow up with the logs etc so that someone more smart than I am might be able to comment and assist :-)

All help and feedback welcome :-D

I've setup a tracker bug for various issues here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=706236

Once I have the last of the buildroot issue cleaned up we'll release one of the automatic tools onto the dist-f14 packages and see how quickly we can get F-14 Gold out of the way and move onto the more interesting things :-D

Just an update on this, the buildroot is basically done. The two main outstanding issues on this is glibc [1] and perl [2] and I would love some help on both of those issues.

I don't think the glibc needs to hold up the running of build-previous, I'm not sure about perl as I'm not sure if its like python and is version dependent.

I'm also looking to get a alpha minimal install out there this week for people to start playing with while we start to get the rest of the core stuff built.

I've managed to build the F14 glibc on F13:

If someone finds some time to test, please leave a note in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=708452 or on this list. If there are any issues, I'll try to have a look at them.

Cheers, Niels

I have noticed that forward movement for F14 and or F15 for the armv5tel hasnt had much attention and that the focus is moving torward the newer boards. I would like greatly to be able to provide some help in this area and if some one contacted me, I would love to ask many questions and provide hours of compile and research time to provide a footfs for F14 and or F15 :)

What Constitutes a F14-F15 build over F12? What Packages denotes a fedora build? What Design Denotes a fedora build?

I have a few sheevaplugs and I am currently running F12 with kernel 2.6.39.1
