| munckfish | doko: re bug 280451. I can do this for powerpc but I'm gonna need some cross compilers for the other archs | 10:09 |

| munckfish | doko: could you tell what the build dep should be? Is there like a 'gcc-default' meta/provides thing I can specify to get whatever the current gcc is? | 10:10 |
| doko | I don't understand; linux-ports does require cross compilers? | 10:11 |
| doko | munckfish: well, you would have to check that the package still works after changing the compiler. so we should now depend on gcc-4.3 explicitely if this results in a working kernel | 10:13 |
| munckfish | doko: ok understood. The reason I would need cross compilers is | 10:13 |
| munckfish | 1. My PS3 is dog slow at compiling the kernel - I've been using ppu-gcc 4.1 on my x86 laptop to do more frequent test builds | 10:14 |
| munckfish | 2. To test compile the other archs in the ports kernel I'd need cross compilers for each | 10:14 |
| munckfish | I have tried making gcc 4.3 powerpc64 cross compiler but it gets stuck on a wrong linker search path when building libgcc | 10:15 |
| doko | well, then do it for each architecture you have access to. | 10:15 |
| doko | maybe pester lamont about hppa | 10:15 |
| munckfish | doko: ok. lamont has a hppa kit? ok cool | 10:16 |
| munckfish | doko: how soon should this be done are you trying to drop 4.1 for intrepid? | 10:16 |
| munckfish | I can't remember if there was some historic reason why 4.1 was needed for powerpc I've asked in the #ubuntu-kernel if anyone knows | 10:17 |
| munckfish | doko: ^ when does this need to be actioned by? when are you planning on dropping 4.1? | 10:23 |
| doko | asap | 10:23 |
| munckfish | ok thx | 10:32 |
