[Fwd: Re: [pypy-dev] PPC64 JIT progress]
by David Malcolm 16 Aug '11

16 Aug '11

Looks like PyPy [1] is close to porting their JIT-compiler to PPC, but need a ppc64 box. I don't know if it's appropriate to bring this up here, but does anyone have a ppc64 box for them to use? (I don't know if it's an ongoing thing though). Thanks Dave (sorry, not a subscriber) [1] http://pypy.org/

libnice on PPC64
by Peter Lemenkov 15 Aug '11

15 Aug '11

Hello All. The libnice package constantly fails to pass at least one test ( ./test-symbols.sh - test for properly exported symbols ) on ppc64. I'm sure that the problem is with wrong path to some scripts of binaries while executing this test. http://ppc.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=3595 Could someone with PPC64 hadrware investigate this issue, please. This package blocks a lot of VoIP related stuff from rebuilding. Or maybe we should just disable this test (or even the entirel %check target) on PPC64. -- With best regards, Peter Lemenkov.

Move the list to lists.fedoraproject.org?
by James Laska 09 Aug '11

09 Aug '11

Greetings, I've not been involved much on the fedora-ppc list. I've been looking into extending to the Fedora release criteria [1] to allow secondary architectures, like PPC, to provide a consistent goal-post for determining release readiness. My topic for this mail though is whether it would be appropriate to move this list to lists.fedoraproject.org [2]? There is certainly no rule that says Fedora secondary architecture mailing lists must exist on lists.fp.org, but I thought for consistency it might be good to move the list there. Any thoughts/concerns/objections? If not, I'll be happy to submit a request to move things over. Thanks, James [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Release_Criteria [2] https://lists.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo

If so, why the 32bit/64bit split? The move to > lists.fp.o makes sense to me but the split does not. Apologies, perhaps a bit of cart before the horse on my end. The current fedora-ppc@ list is focused on "List for discussion of fedora on the ppc platform, particularly Apple Macintosh centric". With the current revival effort of the Power architecture in Fedora as a secondary arch, the team working on that is primarily focused on ppc64. While there are certainly are similar challenges from a release engineering perspective, it seems appropriate to me to just call the new list what it focused on ... ppc64(a)lists.fedoraproject.org. I fully expect there to be knowledge sharing between ppc and ppc64, however very little of the install media produced for ppc64 will be useful for non-IBM hardware. Thoughts/comments/concerns? Thanks, James

Is a updated version if Fedora available now for installation on a ppc
by Robert Hagan 04 Aug '11

04 Aug '11

Greetings to all. I have two ppc PowerStations (4 PPC970MP's) running Fedora 12 and have a few days free time. Is there working ISO available that I can use to update my system? If not, is there a way I can upgrade now to a working version of Fedora 15 or 16? Best wishes, Robert.
