And its a pity BB code no longer works ...

OK so the package I updated runs as expected on your hardware? Do you see any breakage functionally or does everything you do with it work as expected?

[summers]

Hadn't seen a problems so far, but not done much more that logging on and doing a update with pacman, that now doesn't give errors. So seems ok so far. Let me know if you want me to check further kernel realeses.

[graysky]

OK I will push it to the repos, thanks for testing

[summers]

Great, and do ask if you need me to test anything on the am33x architecture.

The command I ran out of memory on was:

[code]
set -e; echo ' XZKERN arch/arm/boot/compressed/piggy_data'; trap 'rm -f arch/arm/boot/compressed/piggy_data; trap - HUP; kill -s HUP $$' HUP; trap 'rm -f arch/arm/boot/compressed/piggy_data; trap - INT; kill -s INT $$' INT; trap 'rm -f arch/arm/boot/compressed/piggy_data; trap - QUIT; kill -s QUIT $$' QUIT; trap 'rm -f arch/arm/boot/compressed/piggy_data; trap - TERM; kill -s TERM $$' TERM; trap 'rm -f arch/arm/boot/compressed/piggy_data; trap - PIPE; kill -s PIPE $$' PIPE; { cat arch/arm/boot/compressed/../Image | sh ./scripts/xz_wrap.sh; printf \\154\\177\\211\\001; } > arch/arm/boot/compressed/piggy_data; printf '%s\n' 'savedcmd_arch/arm/boot/compressed/piggy_data := { cat arch/arm/boot/compressed/../Image | sh ./scripts/xz_wrap.sh; printf \\154\\177\\211\\001; } > arch/arm/boot/compressed/piggy_data' > arch/arm/boot/compressed/.piggy_data.cmd
[/code]

I thought xz was fairly good for memory - but need to check if I can force it to use less memory. I have 0.5GB on the pocket beagle.

[summers]

Ah - looks like you can compile on the procket beagle by setting:

[code]
export XZ_DEFAULTS=--memlimit=300MiB
[/code]

Then you get the message:

[code]
xz: Adjusted LZMA2 dictionary size from 128 MiB to 24 MiB to not exceed the memory usage limit of 300 MiB
[/code]

this gives

[code]

So same size - but must is slightly different.
