Hi, it’s apparently armhf fixing weekend for me (first klibc, then dietlibc, and funnily, both have bugs in setjmp), so I’d like to ask, with my Debian Developer hat on of the many I wear, that you look at the patches we carry in Debian again: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/dietlibc.git;a=tree;f=debian/patches;h=47f36734c30bc03c01f9f95ee50c884fb6468b08;hb=HEAD These (in the order found in the “series” file) make a patch queue against CVS HEAD from 2012-03-25 (in the current tree), but I think they should mostly apply against HEAD, looking at https://code.launchpad.net/~mirabilos/dietlibc/MAIN (which I set up as publicly accessible mirror so we have some sort of overview on what was committed when considering GMane doesn’t carry a gmane.linux.lib.dietlibc.cvs list with commitmails). In addition to those patches, the current Debian build script still deletes parisc/strstr.S as it’s buggy/broken. (That was not doable using a diff.) Of course, fixing is preferable, but I’d rather use the MI version than a broken but optimised MD version. This has been tested on most all Debian architectures, but only statically linked, dynamic linking has been broken for a while and not available everywhere, so we don’t offer it at the moment. Most of the _new_ patches should have somewhat proper documentation in the patch header (and possibly, the git commit adding it), and IIRC some time ago I wrote what I could about the older patches that we already carried back then. (Note recent changes, e.g. to the ARMv7 support to unbreak ARMv6, as used on the Raspberry Pi.) Thanks in advance, //mirabilos -- <Natureshadow> Dann mach ich git annex copy --to shore und fertig ist das <Natureshadow> das ist ja viel cooler als ownCloud ... <mirabilos> sag ich doch <Natureshadow> ja wieso stimmt das denn immer was du sagst ...
