Impact of [linux-any] when pbuilding packages on powerpc for squeeze

e20100633 — 2012-05-16T14:51:18

Hello,

I would like to submit to the list a problem I encounter when I create
packages of emacs-snapshot (from http://emacs.naquadash.org by Julien
Danjou) on Debian squeeze (powerpc) with pbuilder.

After editing /etc/apt/sources.list with the right deb-src (stable), I
used apt-get source emacs-snapshot to get the debian sources.

My /etc/pbuilderrc look like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- 
MIRRORSITE=http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/
DISTRIBUTION=squeeze
COMPONENTS="main contrib non-free"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

In the sources folder (emacs-snapshot-20120502/) I used, as it is
described in the Debian New Maintener's Guide, pdebuild with
AUTO_DEBSIGN=no (I'm not signing packages because it's just for testing
purpose right now):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ AUTO_DEBSIGN=no sudo pdebuild 
dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: libncurses5-dev  
liblockfile-dev libgif-dev libtiff-dev libpng12-dev libjpeg-dev |
libjpeg62-dev | libjpeg8-dev libgtk-3-dev | libgtk2.0-dev 
quilt (>= 0.42) libasound2-dev libselinux1-dev librsvg2-dev  
lsb-release libm17n-dev libotf-dev libdbus-1-dev libgpm-dev  
libmagickwand-dev libxml2-dev libgnutls-dev
autoconf (>= 2.65) automake (>= 1.11)
(...)
dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture powerpc
dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: libasound2-dev 
libselinux1-dev libgpm-dev
dpkg-buildpackage: warning: Build dependencies/conflicts unsatisfied; 
aborting.
dpkg-buildpackage: warning: (Use -d flag to override.)
E: Failed autobuilding of package
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

So I have a problem with libasound2-dev, libselinux1-dev and libgpm-dev.
In debian/control I found that those three packages in Build-Depends
have the tag [linux-any].

(You can see the full debian/control and the pdebuild log here:
http://porneia.free.fr/tmp/emacs-snapshot-pdebuild.log).

Julien Danjou told me that the tag is only here to bypass those depends
on Debian kFreeBSD or Hurd kernels. And, as you know, [linux-any] is
described in Debian Policy Chapter 7.1 "Syntax of relationship fields"
with the example "foo [linux-any]" which "is equivalent to foo on
architectures using the Linux kernel and any cpu". So obviously, this
tag on these three packages shouldn't be a problem on my box running
Linux 2.6.32-5-powerpc, right?

I thought my problem was from my configuration of pbuilder, but I didn't
find anything usefull in /usr/share/pbuilder/pbuilderrc nor in the
manual regarding my issue.

So, the only solution I found to actually build the packages were to
suppress all three " [linux-any]" occurrences in debian/control. And it
worked! I got all my packages and I was able to install emacs-snapshot
on my box with the debs I just created.

But I *know* that I'm not supposed to edit debian/control to build the
packages in order to send them to Julien Danjou for the repository. Not
to mention that everything looks good in the debian/control, even to
compile the packages under powerpc...

As you understood I'm a total newbie in Debian packages creation but I
don't get where I'm wrong and what I haven't done to make it work
properly from the beginning. Can someone have an idea please?

Thank you very much by advance, regards.

powerpc qualification for Wheezy

Adam D. Barratt — 2012-05-16T12:19:47

Hi,

With the sound of the ever approaching freeze ringing loudly in our ears,
we're (somewhat belatedly) looking at finalising the list of release
architectures for the Wheezy release.

Comments on / additions and corrections to the content of
http://release.debian.org/wheezy/arch_qualify.html would be appreciated,
as would any other information you think is relevant to helping us
determine powerpc's status for the release.

Hibernation (suspend-to-ram) on iMac G4 with Debian Squeeze

e20100633 — 2012-05-11T14:31:38

Hello,

First, I apologize for my english but it is not my native language.

I successfully installed Debian Squeeze (kernel 2.6.32-5-powerpc) on a 
iMac G4. This is my first installation of Debian on a Apple desktop 
computer. I have few question about it. The first one is about 
hibernation (suspend-to-ram). I am unable to do it at all.

I'm trying to do it with pm-suspend; but the command doesn't do anything 
and return no errors (even in /var/log/{messages|syslog}). After some 
research I found that I may not have suspend-to-ram:

   # echo -n mem > /sys/power/state
   bash: echo: write error: No such device
   # cat /sys/power/state
   disk

Plus, trying with hal-system-power-pmu return an error too:

   /usr/lib/hal# ./hal-system-power-pmu sleep
   power-pmu : PMU_IOC_SLEEP failed

I believe that suspend-to-ram is supposed to work out of the box on 
Debian stable with my good old powerpc. So I was thinking that I forgot 
the installation of some package maybe? I search debian repos with 
apt-cache search but nothing relevant seems to be here.

Can someone please help me? I don't know what research I can do.
Thank you by advance.

Regards.

Helping with PPC64 port: missing coreutils in sid

Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo — 2012-05-07T21:18:01

Hi, folks.

I would like to start contributing to the PPC64 port, since I have
access to some machines.

When trying to debootstrap from debian-ports, I find that the sid
Packages file has coreutils (and maybe all other packages in
unreleased?) missing. unreleased, on the other hand, does not have
util-linux or mount. So, I can't really use debootstrap from
debian-ports.org.

I see that the coreutils in the unreleased dist comes from Yamamoto, who
also has a repo. His package has an additional changelog entry, with
unreleased as the dist, so that may explain why it has gone into the
unreleased dist Packages, instead of sid/unstable.

What is the procedure here in pushing packages into the unstable dist?
And why do we have any changes in coreutils at all?

Regards.
Cascardo.

GCC 4.7 is now the default for x86 architectures

Matthias Klose — 2012-05-07T17:01:12

GCC 4.7 is now the default for x86 architectures for all frontends except the D
frontends, including KFreeBSD and the Hurd.

There are still some build failures which need to be addressed. Out of the ~350
bugs filed, more than the half are fixed, another quarter has patches available,
and the remaining quarter isn't blocking any other 4.7 build failures. Many
thanks to the patch submitters and NMUers, including Cyril Brulebois, Gregor
Herrmann, Paul Tagliamonte for the fixes.

This will add one more transition for x86 (libobjc3 -> libobjc4), which needs
starting with uploads of some GNUstep base packages.

The D v2 frontend is likely to be updated to 4.7 before the freeze (no build
dependencies).

  Matthias

NEW ARTICLE!

The Art of the Exegesis
By Danny Butt

With art schools' integration into the university system, artists are
required to present their work as written ‘exegesis’. Here, Danny Butt
traces exegesis back to its origins as a form of knowledge production
and considers its limiting effect on art’s own power of revelation.

Winter 2011 / Spring 2012

Responding to the state of generalised anxiety, struggles in Greece,
the Arab spring, student protests, riots in the UK and much more, this

complex and fast moving as that of these extraordinary times

Issue 2 includes: cover art by Johnny Spencer * Alberto Toscano on
logistics and anarchism * Gail Day on postmodernism at the V&A * Brian
Ashton zooms in on RFID * Mark Neocleous on generalised anxiety *
Benjamin Noys on spaghetti communism * Howard Slater on the August

Anomie/Bonhomie & Other Writings
By Howard Slater

In this collection of writings, Howard Slater improvises around what
Walter Benjamin could have meant by the phrase 'affective classes'.
This 'messianic shard' and its possible implications leads Slater to
develop a therapeutic micro-politics by way of a mourning for the
Workers' Movement and a grappling with the 'becomings of capital'.

The essay 'Anomie/Bonhomie' is the keystone of this book which also
features tributary texts and poems drawn from the past ten years. These
supplementary texts approach such themes as exodus, species-being,
surrealist precedents, poetic language and the possibilities for
collective 'affective' practices to combat capitalism's colonisation of
the psyche.

targeting GCC 4.7.0 as the wheezy default for some architectures

Matthias Klose — 2012-04-04T07:52:12

GCC-4.7 packages are now available in testing and unstable; thanks to Lucas' 
test rebuild, bug reports are now filed for these ~330 packages which fail to 
build with the new version [1].  Hints how to address the vast majority of these 
issues can be found at [2].

I'm planning to work on these issues (help is welcome) in April, and then decide 
at the of April to change the default for some architectures; input from port 
maintainers is welcome if and when to change the default for any other archs. 
The current rebuild was done on amd64 only, any other (maybe partial) rebuild 
test on other architectures is welcome.

The Java and Go frontends already default to 4.7, the D frontend may be updated 
for 4.7 in time (currently unused, as all D packages are built using gdc-v1). 
As I understand Ludovic, the Ada frontend will stay with 4.6.

GCC-4.4 will stay in wheezy (D v1 frontend, somehow broken gcj-4.6 on "release" 
architectures like sparc).

GCC-4.5 should be removed before the freeze.

Fabian Greffrath — 2012-04-03T08:40:56

Dear powerpc- and s390 porters,

currently, the unace-nonfree package has status Not-For-Us on your 
archs and is thus not auto-built. However, the recent package revision 
2.5-7 contains a fix in the endianess detection code that should make 
it possible to build it on your archs. Please remove the Not-for-Us 
status of this package and trigger compilation on the autobuilds.

Thanks,
Fabian

Can't read or boot from Squeeze 6.0.4 [ppc] disk 1 on Original iMac

John Wesley Cooper — 2012-03-28T17:12:18

One of the first things I tried was the little "Press C at the chime" trick  at which point the drive repeatedly tried to read the disk for a minute or so, then booted into Mac OS with no  other visible or audible output.  I then ejected and re-inserted the disk tray, an was given a "Mac OS cannot read this disk" message after a few moments.  I then tried a disk containing some printer drivers for Mac OS to see if there was an issue with the drive itself, but that read without issue or complaint.  Once again, the disk I burnt is reading just fine on other machines, so that's clearly not where the problem lies  could it be that it doesn't recognize the disk image's format?  If so, I'm going to have to flash the bios, aren't I?

I believe it should be possible.

Have you checked that the CD is readable in Mac OS?

Have you tried to press C on boot up?

What exactly happens? Do you see any text at all (besides that from OF)?

Can't read or boot from Squeeze 6.0.4 [ppc] disk 1 on Original iMac

2012-03-27T22:21:37

Hey all, 
 
I'm having some trouble getting Debian Squeeze installed on my old original 
iMac, which is one of the first "Bondi" blue ones ... from what your install 
guide says, it should be supported; plus I know it's not the disks though, 
because the OpenSuSE box I burnt them on can read them, and they were verified 
as 100% correct by K3B after I made the disks.  I also tried getting the disk to 
boot from Open Firmware, but to no avail. 
 
Considering this, the only thing I can figure is that it must have something to 
do with the bios it has, especially after what I've read from the following site 
on getting OS-X (tiger) running on these antiques: 
 
http://lowendmac.com/macdan/md07/1207.html 
 
Anyway, the currently installed Mac OS 8.6's Apple System Profiler reports the 
CPU to be a 333MHz PowerMac G3, the Boot ROM Version as 3.0.f3, and the Mac OS 
ROM File Version as 1.6.  So ... can someone tell me what I might do to get 
Squeeze on here, if at all possible minus having to flash the firmware?
