janrinzeis there a way to get a armv7 version of Ubuntu 9.04?09:48
ograno09:51
ograwell, there is but involves that you rebuild everything yourself09:51
janrinzev6 then?09:51
ograright, karmic will be v6+vfp09:51
ograjaunty is v5 with some libs being vfp09:52
janrinzeok. is there a repo for karmic?09:52
dirk2janrinze: Do you know the "How does this differ from the work of mojo.handhelds.org " section of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM FAQ ? Maybe mojo.handhelds.org can help you. Not sure, though09:52
ograports.ubuntu.com09:52
janrinzei have used mojo before.. on XScale.. but that only had armv5. maybe the latest ones have better support though.09:53
ogramojo has stopped with interpid09:53
ograand they use nonstandard architecture names for their packages09:53
* dirk2 learned again something ;)09:53
ograwhich makes it close to impossible to crossgrade from mojo to ubuntu09:53
janrinzeyep.. i noticed the activity at mojo had stopped..09:53
janrinzei though because Ubuntu now started to support arm they move to the main ubuntu support activities.09:54
ograhttps://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/mobile-karmic-arm-cloud-builds might be instresting for you for a ful v7 rebuild09:55
janrinzeoops.. 'thought'09:55
ogra*full09:55
ograbut its still in the works09:55
janrinzeogra: ok.. a bit too much for me a.t.m.09:56
ograwell, karmic's userspace should work for you09:57
janrinzeso as far as i can see only OE/Angstrom does full armv7/armv6 builds09:57
ograsee the rootfs from scratch wikipage from the topic if you want a rootfs09:57
janrinzeogra: that will only prebuilt binaries, right?09:58
ograright, with jaunty we tried to support at least some of the debian architectures which forced us into v5 ... there is more v7 HW now so karmic does v6+09:58
ograthat will only assemble a rootfs tgz from the archive09:59
janrinzeogra: using debs with prebuilt binaries for armv6?09:59
ograyes10:00
janrinzeogra: the script on the webpage will install jaunty, how to change that to get karmic?10:02
janrinzejust change 'echo "deb ${MIRROR} jaunty ${COMPONENTS}" >/etc/apt/sources.list' ?10:03
ograoh, sorry, right, i'm about to add a --dist option :) just change the two occurences of jaunty in it to karmic for now10:03
ograthere is another line with jaunty10:03
janrinzeok.10:03
janrinzesed will be my friend ;-)10:03
janrinzeogra: in karmic the arch is still armel?10:05
ograyes, that wont change10:05
janrinzeok.. will that prevent karmic from running on XScale?10:05
ogranot sure, i dont have any XScale HW10:06
janrinzehmm.. will a dist-upgrade work with jaunty?10:07
ograsure10:08
janrinzeok.. just added karmic to apt-sources10:10
janrinzeshould i keep jaunty in the sources.list too?10:11
ograwell, just make sure your jaunty is up to date with the latest upgrades10:13
janrinzeok.10:13
ograbefore you dist-upgrade to karmic10:13
ograthen you can just comment out jaunty10:13
janrinzeok.10:14
janrinzeogra: jaunty defaults to getting the imx51 linux headers. is there a OMAP3 package too?10:17
ograno10:18
janrinzeok.10:18
ograthere are third party packages for beagleboards10:18
ograhttp://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu10:19
ogranot sure how much they help on XScale though10:19
janrinzethe XScale is not my concern a.t.m. was just curious.10:20
janrinzei run on ubuntu jaunty the BB10:20
ograah10:21
janrinzei do have a XScale platform which i would like to upgrade one time ;-)10:21
janrinzeok.. will do dist-upgrade now.10:22
* janrinze is making more coffee and starts thinking about what to do in the next 8 hours or so.10:22
* janrinze is still looking at the dist-upgrade progressing..13:06
