Bug 32688

I've tagged, pushed and submitted to Cauldron 18.67.

CC: (none) => dan
Status: NEW => ASSIGNED

drakx-installer-stage2-18.67-1.mga10 now available in core/release.

Status: ASSIGNED => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED

Well, it looks like the process is not only to update a package.

x86_64 is updated:
http://mirror.math.princeton.edu/pub/mageia/distrib/9/x86_64/install/stage2/VERSION

but aarch64 is still at an older version (18.62):
http://mirror.math.princeton.edu/pub/mageia/distrib/9/aarch64/install/stage2/VERSION

BTW, it is not build for arm since 2016 (version 17.58):
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/drakx-installer-stage2/current/SPECS/drakx-installer-stage2.spec?r1=1063377&r2=1063378&
but as it is version 18.62, i believe there is a manual action to update it.


Can you please update aarch64 mirrors ?

Status: RESOLVED => REOPENED
Resolution: FIXED => (none)

BTW, armv7hl is even older: http://mirror.math.princeton.edu/pub/mageia/distrib/9/armv7hl/install/stage2/VERSION

sorry for the link, I copy pasted mga9 instead of cauldron. But the issue is the same.

The package has:

ExclusiveArch:  %{ix86} x86_64

so it's not going to build that way on ARM. Maybe that ARM version is built another way and that's what the other other tag style is for that I mentioned on IRC (drakx-installer-images-X).

Thank you Dan for fielding this - and for having done something about it so quickly. Assigning it to you.

@Jybz : is this now really about ARM? If so, please change the Hardware header field to what best suits.

No other way. I'm certain that it is just a copy/paste in the mirror. It can not  be build as it on arm so version 18.62 for aarch64 is definitly not build but copy/pasted.

I'm on it, to re-enable arm build, but it is currently not possible.

I don't have admin rights for moving files.

I had got it to build last year, I pushed my local branch to https://gitweb.mageia.org/software/drakx/log/?h=user/pterjan/arm64

HAHAHAHAHA... Working on it for two month, work is already done...

Did it worked ? I don't see where you skip the installation of grub2-efi(x86_64)  https://gitweb.mageia.org/software/drakx/tree/perl-install/install/any.pm?h=user/pterjan/arm64#n773

Would you have time to talk about it?

(I will copy paste some of your commits into my feature branch ;)

@pterjan, would it be possible for you to merge this ?

as we may create a 9.1 ( i will propose to the council ) this could be interesting to have this on the mga9 branch too ( along with tv commits )

I didn't get to test it which is why I hadn't pushed it at the time.

I had tested the stage 1 (and pushed https://gitweb.mageia.org/software/drakx/commit/?id=bc1b6ee565efced5ce23ad68a1e302f61bcc8b09) and boot image but not the stage 2.

I'm trying now. I include some of you modifications into my branch.
I believe there are some missing buildrequires in the drakx-install-stage2 package because dracut fails not finding NFS etc. I did not dig further, I just remove it for now.

The bug https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32686 was suppose to fix the stage2, but it still don't find the (good) package grub2-efi(aarch-64) .
