<fossy>stikonas[m]: reviewing now :)
<stikonas[m]>fossy: thanks, I might push cleaup commit to the same pr if you don't mind
<stikonas[m]>I decided to also remove some autotools rebuilds
<stikonas[m]>We don't need fully functioning autoconf if we only use it for next sutoconf
<stikonas[m]>fossy: the nice thing is that we no longer need workarounds that we used in binutils 2.14
<stikonas[m]>I.e. all these hacks https://github.com/fosslinux/live-bootstrap/blob/master/sysa/binutils-2.14/binutils-2.14.sh#L102
<stikonas>fossy: maybe we should move help2man to sysc?
<stikonas>we can keep sysa smaller by removing it and also just removing manpages
<stikonas>hmm, althuh help2man is really lightweight, maybe not worth it
<stikonas>only 7 KiB
<fossy>stikonas: yeah no worries w/ putting the cleanup commit in same pr
<stikonas>yeah, I'm just testing final checksum changes for binutils 2.24
<stikonas>will fix 2.38 later
<fossy>sounds good
<stikonas>I think we had a lot of pregenn'ed manpages in both binutils
<fossy>yeah, i haven't paid very close ttention to documentation tbh
<stikonas>I did check some of it
<stikonas>but earlier I thought these .1 files are handled by help2man...
<stikonas>which is not the case
<stikonas>doesn't matter, it's just unused documentation
<stikonas>it's not used at all for code generation
<stikonas>fossy: updated: https://github.com/fosslinux/live-bootstrap/pull/250
<stikonas>I think in the end we will be able to update quite a bit of old GNU stuff...
<stikonas>we'll still have GCC <= 4.7.4 of course but at least other things should be newer
<fossy>yeah, agree
<muurkha>:)
<river>sup
<AwesomeAdam54321>I'm doing well
<bauen1>it's very nice to see this project moving along :)
<Christoph[m]>Very nice indeed! 🚀
<stikonas[m]>We have more than one project here :)
<oriansj>it finally got published: https://fosdem.org/2023/schedule/event/guixriscv/
<oriansj> https://fosdem.org/2023/schedule/event/rv_gnu_guix/
<stikonas[m]>Well, it would be interesting to see how far live-bootstrap can take riscv once mes supports it
<stikonas[m]>I suspect for live-bootstrap it will be easier than for guix
<stikonas[m]>The libc (musl) already supports riscv64
<stikonas[m]>Hmm, though perl might be tricky
<river>i watched the talk. very good!
<river>i had no idea there was lisp code in gcc!
<ekaitz>oriansj: yaaaasss! there we are!
<ekaitz>river: it's not really lisp code but an s-expression based language
