Dear ARM fans,
Linaro Developer Platform team organises every week an ARM porting Jam. Next one will be on Wednesday 11th April (we moved from Friday cause weekend does not help in remembering which patches are still to send upstream).
The idea is to gather all developers together to fix user space portability issues across the board.
There are several things to work on:
- the list of bugs being worked on is at launchpad [1] with more useful web interface at [2]
1. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=arm-porting-queue&orde... 2. http://people.linaro.org/~rsalveti/arm-porting-queue/arm-porting-queue-repor...
- list from 'make multiarch cross-building work' process which is described at [3][4] with logfiles available at [5] - now that the release is close non-trivial fixes should rather go into Debian than Ubuntu. As this is cross compiler related you do not even have to use ARM devices.
3. http://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/DevPlatform/CrossCompile/MultiarchCrossBuild... 4. http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/CrossDependencies 5. http://people.linaro.org/~wookey/buildd/precise/sbuild-ma/status.html
- You can also help with libffi related issues if you can - list is available at Debian wiki [6]
