ppc.koji.fedoraproject.org back online
by Josh Boyer 07 Jan '11

Hi All, As the subject says, the buildsystem is back online. It has been upgraded to koji 1.6.0 and the two builder instances are running a new enough kernel to build for F14 now. They should also be able to build from the Fedora git repos as well. I would like to thank Stephen Smoogen and Dennis Gilmore for their extraordinary help in getting the machines rebuilt and accessible. Let the building begin. josh

Fedora 15 ppc
by Adrian Reber 31 Dec '10

31 Dec '10

I started to rebuild current rawhide for ppc (and a bit for ppc64). I am now at the point where I have all packages required for "yum groupinstall buildsys-build" rebuilt from rawhide. The biggest problems so far was python (and python3), which could no longer be built on Linux ppc: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=661510 http://bugs.python.org/issue10655 But that is fixed now. I will continue to rebuild more and more packages for ppc and ppc64 and will soon post the results here. Adrian

building PPC Fedora packages, from the beginning
by Hollis Blanchard 27 Dec '10

I don't know anything about the Fedora development process. So can someone point me to a page describing how it's supposed to work? I'm looking for something like this: 1. Go to http://ppc.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/builds?order=-state and pick a broken package. 2. Run fedpkg something something to get the source. 3. Patch it. 4. Run koji something something to build with your patch. 5. Once it works, send patch somewhere. Do I need an account in the koji web interface? When I click the "login" link I get SSL errors. -Hollis

plymouth on ppc patch
by Adrian Reber 26 Dec '10

To build plymouth (plymouth-0.8.4-0.20101119.2) on ppc I had to create following patch. Before sending it to the maintainer I wanted to present it here to make sure it is the correct way to fix it. PAGE_SIZE seems to be not defined on ppc and following patch fixes building plymouth: @@ -46,7 +46,7 @@ #include <time.h> #include <linux/fs.h> #include <linux/vt.h> - +#include <unistd.h> #include <dlfcn.h> #include "ply-logger.h" @@ -971,6 +971,7 @@ char *command_line; ssize_t bytes_read; int fd; + int ps; ssize_t i; path = NULL; @@ -986,8 +987,9 @@ goto error; } - command_line = calloc (PAGE_SIZE, sizeof (char)); - bytes_read = read (fd, command_line, PAGE_SIZE - 1); + ps = getpagesize(); + command_line = calloc (ps, sizeof (char)); + bytes_read = read (fd, command_line, ps - 1); if (bytes_read < 0) { ply_trace ("Could not read %s: %m", path); Is that the correct way to solve it?
