<stikonas>I'm now getting some errors with automake 1.10, so I think that's it for now... <stikonas>(automake 1.10 builds but is actually broken) <OriansJ>mihi: A pull request if you want credit, otherwise I can do it without issue. <fossy>kexec-tools is almost able to load kernels! <stikonas>but I decided to just run all make's ane make installs with MAKEINFO=true there <stikonas>(at least until somebody packages makeinfo) <Hagfish>that's an exciting thought, and well done fossy too! <stikonas>fossy, pder: I think I have latest bash now <stikonas>newer bash is nice since it reduces the need for findutils <stikonas>can find files recursively with globstar operator <stikonas>I'll probably have more nice stuff later today <OriansJ>god setting up a 32bit PowerPC vm is a bitch *vagrantc prefers mere mortals to set things up <OriansJ>vagrantc: fair but I just spent the last 6weeks trying to find a way to install any known 32bit PowerPC Linux distros in Qemu <OriansJ>far from ideal but time I spend trying to sort that mess is time I am not spending on the actual work that needs to be done for building the seeds for those systems. <vagrantc>is this a 32-bit powerpc to bootstrap to powerpc64le or something? <OriansJ>vagrantc: no 32bit powerpc to add an additional hardware root (64bit big and little endian PowerPC setups were rather easy to do) <OriansJ>much the same reason I would be doing s390, VAX, etc later <vagrantc>for diversity of bootstrapping platforms <OriansJ>indeed, no platform will be skipped if someone is willing to put the work in. (Probably me depending if I want to work up the stack or not this week) <mihi>OriansJ: I'm not desperately seeking credit, so feel free to fix whenever you find time. <OriansJ>mihi: it is more I prefer to give people full credit for the work they do; unless they explicitly don't want credit or prefer to be anonymous. <mihi>I really don't care for a one-liner like this <fossy>you might find it newer than xenial Ubuntu <fossy>stikonas: ill look at those in a moment <OriansJ>fossy: new I don't need. Working however is an absolute requirement. (just need to be able to build mescc-tools and a minimal text editor to handwrite some hex) <OriansJ>screen, tig, git and vim/emacs-nox would be nice extras <OriansJ>and in bad news xenial Ubuntu cloud image just kernel panics; what poor quality control <OriansJ>(not sure if qemu-system-ppc regression or just broken ubuntu-16.04-server-cloudimg-powerpc-disk1.img [despite perfect checksum]) <OriansJ>let us hope mips32, mips64, sparc32, sparc64, s390, s390x and Alpha are easier (otherwise the porting pace is going to slow to a crawl) <OriansJ>stone-knive tooling and bear-skin environments are no problems for bootstrapping (it only forces a particular order of development). <OriansJ>If I've got a hex0-monitor; I can build SET and hex0 and do the rest of the work in that but downloading ISO images is slow
