Hi all,
When the fpc-package (Freepascal compiler) was approved, there were no
rules regarding pre-build binaries and compilers yet. But after some
discussion I got an approval to use them.
Now I want to add support for ppc64 but to do that, I need to use a
pre-build binary once more. The current packaging-guidelines state that
I need an approval from the packaging committee.
So what should I do now, ask for an approval or isn't that necessary?
I think that since you initially got approval to use the prebuilt binary to
bootstrap fpc that it should be ok. What i would suggest though is putting
the logic in the spec permanently to bootstrap other archs and have a
defines control that. Once you have a build that has been bootstrapped.
build a new version that is built against the fedora built fpc package.
I deliberately removed all the prebuilt-binary stuff from the spec-file
after the first release. But maybe you're right. I can add it with a
define. That could be usefull in the future.
This is what I've done to the (no binaries needed, but still a strange dance
needed) bootstrap code for arm-gp2x-gcc & glibc. I think that this is best, as
this for example will also allow the sparc people to boostrap it (well not in
your case, but in mine).
Regards,
Hans
