| TheMuso | lamont: I noticed that davis is back on dapper. what needs to happen for lucid so we can get the ppc boxes running a recent LTS? | 10:27 |
|---|---|---|
| lamont | TheMuso: we need a stable kernel | 12:01 |
| lamont | Apple Xserve vs >= hardy is not stable | 12:02 |
| TheMuso | hrm ok | 12:10 |
| lamont | TheMuso: when eglibc regressed on dapper kernels, we took a stab at the karmic kernel... it failed to be stable. | 12:44 |
| TheMuso | lamont: How is it not stable? | 21:22 |
| lamont | TheMuso: crashes in filesystem space (mostly OOPSes, iirc), throws random SIGSEGVs, etc. | 21:23 |
| lamont | Not sure what it is about the Apple Xserves, but they haven't liked anything since hardy... not sure about edgy-gutsy, either | 21:23 |
| lamont | since we ran dapper until hardy came out, then hardy one place for about a day or two, then punted. | 21:24 |
| TheMuso | lamont: Hrm ok. | 21:24 |
| lamont | and we have now confirmed that karmic is in the same boat | 21:24 |
| TheMuso | Kinda sucks, because I have ppc64 hardware that runs karmic and doesn't miss a beat. | 21:24 |
| lamont | I got a good 10-12 minutes into simultaneous builds of linux, gcc-4.4, and eglibc before it paniced | 21:25 |
| TheMuso | ouch | 21:25 |
| lamont | well, it oopsed shortly before that, then died several seconds later | 21:25 |
| TheMuso | Hrm ok. We need to get something sorted soon if ppc is to survive the next year or so. | 21:25 |
| TheMuso | i.e get the kernel sorted. | 21:25 |
| lamont | ah, come on, it still has 17 months of support... :-p | 21:43 |
| lamont | but yeah, a working Xserve kernel for lucid would be most lovely | 21:43 |
