[10:09] <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> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ports/+bug/280451
[10:10] <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?
[10:11] <doko> I don't understand; linux-ports does require cross compilers?
[10:13] <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
[10:14] <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
[10:15] <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
[10:16] <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?
[10:17] <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
[10:23] <munckfish> doko: ^ when does this need to be actioned by? when are you planning on dropping 4.1?
[10:23] <doko> asap
[10:32] <munckfish> ok thx
