Обсуждение: Status of Linux/Strongarm?

Hello folks,

The only mention of the strongarm processor that I can find on the
lists is a test-and-set patch this last March for Postgres on
Netbsd/Strongarm.  The patch seems to have made it into 6.5.1, so I
assume NetBsd/Strongarm is now "supported".  How about
Linux/Strongarm?  Has anyone built on that yet?  Any problems?  (I'd just
try it, but we don't have the strongarm systems yet..)



                Thanks,

                Ted Nolan

Let me know what you find out. I don't show netbsd/strongarm as
supported, but maybe I missed a report on the mailing list...

Well,

I found a netwinder site at netwinder.org, and they have RPMs for 6.5.1,
so my guess is that they believe it works on Redhat/Strongarm...

Is the strongarm the same as arm32? That's what we list already for
netbsd. Or is strongarm a distinct architecture which should be listed
separately?

armv41 is the architecture listed for the RPM's mentioned. The patchset
is attached.

I'm going to look at integrating this into the 6.5.3 RPM's -- but this
really should be in the main tarball, IMO.  There's no big patches made
-- the whole set is only 2K.

I've added Mark Knox to the cc: list, as he put together this RPM set
from the RawHide 6.5.1-0.8 rpm.  Mark, I'll be releasing 6.5.3 RPM's as
soon as 6.5.3 is official, and I'd like to get arm supported by it.
Just wanted to add you to the loop.
