Feb 19 06:29:31 <hvontres|home> Does anybody know where to find some documentation on the advantages of big-endian vs little-endian operation? I am getting my slug set up and I am trying to decice which flavor of SlugOS to go with.
Feb 19 06:32:52 <mwester> No docs, really -- no difference anymore.
Feb 19 06:33:51 <mwester> Debian/ARM is LE, and it seems most ARM devices are LE anymore.  BE was only because the Linksys firmware was BE, and the module for the network hardware was a closed blob only available in BE.
Feb 19 06:34:25 <mwester> There were some benchmarks that claimed network performance was better in BE, but on the other other hand there are packages that don't work at all in LE mode.
Feb 19 06:35:01 <mwester> So overall, it doesn't much matter which you choose. :)
Feb 19 06:35:35 <hvontres|home> mwester: thanks.... I think :) Do you remember which packages had issues?
Feb 19 06:37:59 <mwester> IIRC they tended to be multimedia ones, and specialized applications.  The common packages you would often use are generally well-written.
Feb 19 06:38:37 <hvontres|home> mwester: thanks.
Feb 19 06:39:47 <hvontres|home> mwester: BTW, Could you take a look a http://patchwork.openembedded.org/patch/2/ and give me a hint what was wrong with it? I'd like to get sg3-utils actually working. I should also have recipies for rsnapshot and hd-idle soon
Feb 19 07:02:25 <CIA-6> 03bzhou * r9622 10optware/trunk/make/py-simplejson.mk: py-simplejson: 2.0.8 -> 2.0.9
