This week was a step back from building stage2 packages so that effort could be focused on some of the problems encountered. Primarily, the issue with rpm hanging in libfreebl3 was tracked down to glibc. The aarch64 patch we were using in the glibc package had an issue with syscall return value handling in the wrapper macros. So I updated it with aarch64 bits from the upstream glibc tree and that problem was solved. With the new glibc, some stability/correctness issues in bash went away as well as the need for using rpath hacks in some package builds. So with glibc being updated and those problems being solved, I decided to clean out the workarounds for the buggy glibc we were using and rebuild everything using the updated glibc. Part of this rebuild also involves a change to the busybox config. In the current stage2 rootfs, busybox is providing /bin/sh (ash) and also overriding a lot of utilities (sed, awk, etc) also built in stage1. So I changed the busybox config so that it doesn't step on utilities we are building from other sources, including bash. This eliminates the need for the makefile hacks in glib2 and other packages with complex automake recipes. With all of those changes in, I currently have a build running through stage2 packages. I expect it to run through the weekend and hopefully be finished with stage2 early next week. If all goes well, we'll get the wiki and git tree updated and move on to stage3. _______________________________________________ arm mailing list arm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/arm
