dormitoanyone know of any work/plans for a riscv devuan?01:40
kilobytedormito: once someone actually has some working hardware, and so on...01:50
kilobyteI for one patched stuff with my name on it (inc. openrc), and a bunch of other packages... but there's only so much fun in qemu01:52
kilobytea port with no hardware, no bootloader, etc, is too early for distro work.  You can do porting for fun/job, but it's not for wider consumption yet.01:55
dormitoah ok. well I just got my sifive hifive unleased board + PCIe expasion board (comes with a buildroot linux system).  and was wondering if there was any movent in that directions, but yeah the boards are too scarce atm02:04
kilobytelucky bastard :)02:07
kilobytebest to look in Debian for now; applying Devuan changes is a matter of recompiling a bunch of packages -- there's nothing arch-specific I think02:08
kilobytethere can be odd build failures but that's something to deal with once the stuff is in Debian unstable02:09
dormitowell atm I'm trying to get SiFive's tool kit to build (which builds the buidroot among other things). But it looks like they didn't properly take care of glibc's recent move of the makedev macro02:10
kilobytethe stuff in debian-ports is a weird mix of (unofficial) unstable + unreleased02:11
kilobyteyou'd want to jump in #debian-riscv on OFTC02:15
kilobytethey got working glibc but it's waiting for DAK changes for upload to unstable; most of the toolchain is in a similar state but with unreleased most of the archive is successfully built02:17
kilobyteI haven't used it beyond qemu-user, those folks can tell you more02:17
dormitohmmm doesn't upstream glibc (as of 2.27) support riscv?02:18
kilobytenot well enough to build without patches :p02:19
kilobytebut that work is done, waiting only for infrastructure issues elsewhere02:19
