Hard float?

[bablo]

Hello, would this be an occasion to address the haskell & ghc circle dependency which prevents updating it to the current version?

Cheers.

Guys, is there a way to try the hf version out now? I'd be happy to be a tester

I just installed the armv6hf build of Arch and find myself needing an armv5 package (yp-tools). Is there a way to have pacman install the older version of the package and run both type of packages on the same rootfs ?

Thanks

Soft and Hard are like oil and water. This is what the builder sees:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
[armv5] yp-tools (2.12-4|2.12-2): repo=>extra, src=>abs, state=>unbuilt, blocked on: extra/ypbind-mt (N)
[armv6] yp-tools (2.12-4|0-0): repo=>extra, src=>abs, state=>unbuilt, blocked on: extra/ypbind-mt (N)
[armv7] yp-tools (2.12-4|2.12-2): repo=>extra, src=>abs, state=>unbuilt, blocked on: extra/ypbind-mt (N)
')

Thanks, and forgive my ignorance of the arch build system (newbie user here both on arm and x86_64 architectures). I would've thought that building on the new version of the arm architecture would have been trivial but apparently that's not the case.

So I guess for the time being, anyone waiting to build yp-tools is stuck until ypbind-mt is ported to armv hf?

It's actually a loop. They are stuck on each other. We'll have a look when we get a chance.

Ok thank you, I'll continue checking up on it with pacman every now and then.

So I went to the ABS wiki page and after learning all about ABS proceeded to download the yp-tools and yp-bind packages

note: since I am trying to get NIS working I am doing everything as root because I want to use my NIS user account on the system.

I got it working with the following steps

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
# abs extra/ypbind-mt
# abs extra/yp-tools

# cd /var/abs/extra/ypbind-mt
# vim PKGBUILD [1]
# makepkg -s --asroot
# pacman -U ypbind-mt*.tar.xz

# cd /var/abs/extra/yp-tools
# makepkg --asroot
# pacman -U yp-tools*.tar.xz
')

[1]:
edit PKGBUILD to:
a) add 'armv6h' to the arch line
b) remove yp-tools from the dependency list

So far so good, was able to configure NIS afterward and all seems to be working fine so far.. hope this helps.
