[14:01] <zarzar> how do i find an official release version og gcc 4.8.1 arm-linux-gnueabihf, the binaries on launchpad.net and linaro archive are all prerelease versions
[14:02] <cjwatson> You'll have to ask toolchain folks about that; we just do the hosting.
[14:03] <cjwatson> I'd start at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-4.8 though
[14:03] <cjwatson> 4.8.1 is pretty old even in the 4.8 series, so you may have to dig through the full publishing history there
[14:05] <zarzar> i have found some 4.8.1 binaries but they all report (prerelease) as version
[14:06] <cjwatson> kwmonroe: I'm not seeing any hits for repo.apache.maven.org in our proxy logs, so my guess would be that your build isn't actually hitting the proxy for that.  To reproduce locally, you might try using ufw to turn off most outbound HTTP in the container where you do the build
[14:06] <cjwatson> (but obviously not where the proxy is running)
[14:06] <cjwatson> zarzar: may not be important; I believe Ubuntu's GCC builds are routinely built from snapshots
[14:07] <zarzar> oh
[14:08] <cjwatson> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-4.8/+publishinghistory?batch=75&memo=150&start=150 has links to at least some 4.8.1 builds which definitely weren't prereleases, judging from the version numbers
[14:09] <cjwatson> looking at the changelog, all the packages in Ubuntu whose version are 4.8.1-1 or newer postdate the upstream 4.8.1 release
[14:09] <zarzar> cjwatson:  arm-linux-gnueabihf
[14:09] <cjwatson> so?
[14:10] <cjwatson> oh, are you asking about cross-compilers?
[14:10] <zarzar> yes
[14:10] <cjwatson> that was not clear
[14:11] <cjwatson> zarzar: from amd64?
[14:12] <zarzar> cjwatson: i don't think they are from amd64
[14:12] <cjwatson> zarzar: what architecture do you want to run these binaries on?
[14:13] <zarzar> arm-linux-gnueabihf is for armhf
[14:13] <cjwatson> yes, I know, but that's the architecture that the compiler should build for
[14:13] <cjwatson> you're asking about cross-compilers
[14:13] <zarzar> armhf
[14:13] <cjwatson> so what is the other architecture - the one you want to run the compiler on?
[14:13] <zarzar> is the arch
[14:14] <cjwatson> if you're running the compiler on armhf, and asking it to produce armhf code, then that's not a cross-compiler
[14:14] <zarzar> oh i see, sorry
[14:14] <cjwatson> but you said you were asking about cross-compilers
[14:14] <zarzar> x86, ubuntu vm
[14:14] <cjwatson> 32-bit or 64-bit?
[14:14] <zarzar> 64
[14:15] <cjwatson> then the answer to "from amd64?" is "yes" :-)
[14:15] <cjwatson> zarzar: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-4.8-armhf-cross/0.10/+build/5086007 looks promising
[14:15] <cjwatson> that's the most recent suitable 4.8.1-based build that was performed in Ubuntu
[14:15] <zarzar> why does that say PROPOSED?
[14:16] <cjwatson> zarzar: all Ubuntu builds first happen in proposed and then are promoted to release if they work
[14:16] <cjwatson> that's an artifact of the build process.  ignore it.
[14:16] <cjwatson> those binaries were released with Ubuntu 13.10
[14:16] <cjwatson> obviously nobody is supporting those any more
[14:17] <zarzar> is that taken from a snapshot or an official release from the working group?
[14:17] <cjwatson> I have no idea; grab the source and check the changelog
[14:17] <cjwatson> all I know is that it's newer than the official 4.8.1 release
[14:18] <cjwatson> all Ubuntu GCC packages are patched in some way; if it literally has to be exactly 4.8.1, then you'll have to download that from upstream and compile it yourself
[14:23] <zarzar> cjwatson: i don't know what i am looking at on that page
[14:24] <zarzar> its a never ending maze of links
[14:26] <zarzar> all i can find is the deb file, i just want the binaries
[14:27] <zarzar> why do the linaro toolchain binaries on launchpad all have (prerelease) as version? https://launchpad.net/linaro-toolchain-binaries/+milestone/2013.04
[15:04] <cjwatson> zarzar: the .debs contain the binaries and can be installed with dpkg or extracted with dpkg-deb
[15:04] <cjwatson> zarzar: nobody here is going to have any idea whatsoever about Linaro binaries that happen to be hosted on Launchpad
[15:04] <cjwatson> zarzar: seriously, you need to ask the people who built them
[15:04] <zarzar> i extracted the deb but i do not see any binaries\
[15:04] <cjwatson> I imagine you extracted the wrong .deb
[15:04] <zarzar> no one knows, no one responds, the mioracle of open source
[15:05] <cjwatson> oh for goodness' sake
[15:05] <cjwatson> I've spent quite a while trying to help you, please don't be snarky
[15:05] <cjwatson> gcc-4.8-arm-linux-gnueabihf_4.8.1-10ubuntu7cross0.10_amd64.deb looks like the one you need; it ...
[15:06] <cjwatson> sigh
