Here's a rough list I have made, is there anything wrong/missing there? Nov 13 10:09:20 new sharpslpart 4.15 Nov 13 10:09:30 gcc 7 fixes 4.15 Nov 13 10:09:35 corgi backlight fix 4.16 Nov 13 10:09:46 large CF cards support 4.16 (?) Nov 13 10:09:52 kexec Collie support 4.16 (?) Nov 13 10:11:54 also, regarding kexec itself I remember you mentioning the devicetree blob commandline option is being added, but this won't be added to the Zaurus kexec, isn't it? Nov 13 10:13:36 (I have connection problems today, I might leave and come here often today, I'll check the livelog so that I won't miss any message) Nov 13 10:14:48 zaurus have not been converted to DT, neither pxa nor collie/sa1100 Nov 13 10:14:55 not yet at least Nov 13 10:16:20 btw Collie has already 4.4-kexecboot Nov 13 10:16:49 the problem with collie is we had the SD driver in 2.6 but not in 3.x Nov 13 10:17:20 lumag sent the patches for 4.2 and I could update up to 4.4, then the changes are too many Nov 13 10:18:25 my collie is in the drawer since I started with the pxa repartitioning stuff... Nov 13 10:18:41 I'll check but afair th 4.4-kexecboot is ok Nov 13 10:20:06 maybe lacks f2fs... Nov 13 11:14:08 yes, you are right, I should have mentioned "kexec with kernel >4.4 on Collie support" Nov 13 11:29:43 what I found interesting is that Robert's backlight fix is explicitily for the CM-X300, not the Zaurus. I have seen that it seems to be still available for sale: http://www.compulab.com/products/computer-on-modules/cm-x300/ Nov 13 11:29:56 so at least one ARMv5 platform is still commercially available, I wonder if that would make the alpine linux folks to change idea about introducing ARMv5 support (although I doubt it): https://bugs.alpinelinux.org/issues/5145 Nov 13 12:20:49 the final patch was https://www.spinics.net/lists/kernel/msg2624470.html Nov 13 12:22:55 there are maybe around some older arm-versatile-926ejs Nov 13 12:23:24 this is ARM9 but supports armv5te Nov 13 14:10:36 ant_work: http://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=34622 **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Nov 14 03:00:01 2017
