[ARM] Fedora15 HardFP Bootstrap Virtual FAD - 2011/06/10
We wish to accelerate the bringup of Fedora 15 on ARMv7 systems running with hardware floating point (hardfp). To that end, it is proposed to have semi-regular bootstrap days, during which we will meet in a virtual capacity (on IRC, and over the phone) to build up through cross-compilation (and other means) the core packages required for Fedora 15 to become self-hosting on ARMv7 with hardware floating point.

Program
- Summarize requirements/sync up on build flags
- Build for Cortex A-8, with AAPCS, and hard float (vfpv3-d16, not -d32)
- Do not enable NEON (can add later)
- Do not enable Thumb2 (confirmed can non-disruptively enable per-package later)
- Current status of works in progress (DJ/Dennis/Seneca(?)?)
- Plan will be to use DJ's bootstrap.git as a starting point
- Extend stage2 script to on-target build up dependencies for rpm-build
- Stash archives of populated build directories/bits on scotland.proximity.on.ca/fedora-arm/f15hardfp/bootstrap/
- Minimal dependency discussion for F15
- Plan to build dependencies required from the dependency graph
- F15 x86_64 rpm-build dependency graph generated from Koji build dependencies
- Plan for building/co-ordinating builds
- Follow instructions for setting up DJ's bootstrap script and minimal rootfs (target chroot)
- Grab a few package dependencies and work on them (add support to stage2 script)
- Tar up the resulting build tree and make them available to others
- Others install build tree ("make install") on their rootfs
- Once sufficient deps are done for rpm, rebuild things as RPMs
- host bits on scotland.proximity.on.ca/fedora-arm/f15hardfp/bootstrap/
- Stage a Koji F15 instance with the working RPMs
- Status before end of day
- Plan for followup
Requirements
- Internet connection to log into IRC, and phone if possible (phone not essential)
- A supported ARMv7 target board
- Lots of coffee
