With the recent changes, I now have complete builds of the lsbsi on: ia32, ia64, x86_64 and s390. I've put these bundles up on the download server (http://ftp.freestandards.org/pub/lsb/snapshots/impl) in case anyone is interested, but at this point they're totally untested. There's no reason to think this won't also build on ppc32, but that's a VERY slow machine with limited disk and hasn't been tried (perhaps Marvin can kick off a fresh build so we don't end up with duplicate trees and run out of disk space?). That means we still need to work through the s390x and ppc64 issues, but I'm happier now that one of the lib64 platforms has built. At least one package, rpm, is putting libraries in the wrong place, and needs attention, I just want to make sure it doesn't also put "/usr/lib/rpm" in /usr/lib64, which would not be correct. Over the next two weeks or so we'll need to try to test all of these, as the 2.0 test suites come available. Infrastructure: A better ppc32 machine would be a help to ongoing LSB development/maintenance (hint, hint). Can a ppc64 machine be used as if it were a ppc32 machine? For example, is it possible to build up a chroot loaded with a 32-bit ppc distro that will believe it is all 32-bit?
