Sparc tests fine under the following conditions: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
1. ebuild taken from cvs at 13:06 (GMT) |
| 17 |
2. USE flags thus: |
| 18 |
=========================== |
| 19 |
lacewing root # PKGDIR=${PD} emerge -pkv xorg-x11 |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
These are the packages that I would merge, in order: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Calculating dependencies ...done! |
| 24 |
[binary R ] x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r4 (-3dfx) (-3dnow) +bitmap-fonts |
| 25 |
- -cjk -debug +dlloader -dmx -doc -font-server +hardened +insecure-drivers |
| 26 |
- -ipv6 -minimal (-mmx) +nls +opengl +pam -sdk (-sse) -static |
| 27 |
+truetype-fonts +type1-fonts (-uclibc) -xprint +xv [1] |
| 28 |
=========================== |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
3. Because of the +dlloader, necessarily the patches from Bug 61063 were |
| 31 |
applied. |
| 32 |
4. This version of X is hardened. |
| 33 |
5. The (deprecated) keyboard driver is still required. kbd shifts keys as |
| 34 |
it always has. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
6. NOTE: The two 'is_kernel' tests produce error messages, but (for me, |
| 37 |
at any rate) ebuild operation is correct anyway. I have not |
| 38 |
investigated further, but as I recall, the messages were: |
| 39 |
[: wrong number of arguments (for the check kernel-2.2.x) |
| 40 |
Command '*' not understood |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Given this, sparc is fine. --- |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
7. For non-(hardened+dlloader) users (everyone but me, I think), |
| 45 |
extra patching should not be needed, although at some point, the |
| 46 |
61063 patches are required. |
| 47 |

| 48 |
Nice job, |
