Dear all, a little later than usual, here comes the update on Linux/ia64 for v6.10: Well, nothing special to report in this cycle compared to the last cycle (see last update on [1] for details). [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/d308ad95-bee4-4401-a6f5-27bcf5bcc52d@xxxxxx/ No new regressions were detected on any of the tested ia64 machines and platforms (HP Sim on Ski) we have available for testing. Again no system support was lost during this cycle. Everything works as expected. Tomas maintains the ia64 patchset for Linux on [2] and is currently working on some EPIC updates. Please note the new URL. You can always find the per Linux release (candidate) source code used for regular testing on [3]. Please use the `[...]-w-ia64` branches. [2]: https://github.com/linux-ia64/linux-ia64/ [3]: https://github.com/johnny-mnemonic/linux-ia64/ **** In an earlier report I already mentioned our autobuilder that cross-builds Linux stable releases and release candidates on x86 for ia64 and also tests HP-Sim kernels within Ski (see [4] for an example run). This continues to be helpful in detecting issues in stable kernels early on and even catched two issues recently. But those two also were the only ones found so far in the roughly 6 months this has been established. [4]: https://github.com/linux-ia64/linux-stable-rc/actions/runs/9984893242 To also better cover the new developments outside of the kernel, this now got a commpanion autobuilder that cross-builds ia64 toolchain parts for us with T2 based on the regular snapshots of binutils, gcc and glibc (see [5] for an example run). [5]: https://github.com/johnny-mnemonic/toolchain-autobuilds/actions/runs/9984983546 **** No new additions to the selection of Linux distributions for ia64 this time. In the meantime Debian on ia64 became history. Farewell. **** Thank you all for your hard work on Linux! Cheers, Frank et al
