* Dropping versatile kernel @ 2012-08-12 18:40 Michael Tremer 2012-08-13 8:50 ` Arne Fitzenreiter 0 siblings, 1 reply; 3+ messages in thread From: Michael Tremer @ 2012-08-12 18:40 UTC (permalink / raw) To: development [-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 600 bytes --] Hi Arne, you just dropped the Linux kernel which was compiled for ARM Versatile from IPFire 2.x: http://git.ipfire.org/?p=ipfire-2.x.git;a=commitdiff;h=c94c1fa5574230d9edbefdfe6aea14874593ec31 The reasons are that there is no use for it except virtual environments with QEMU. However, these are very slow and pretty much unusable. Do you think there are any other reasons to keep the versatile kernel in IPFire 3? I guess we could drop it, too. A benefit would be a massive increase in build time of the kernels for ARMv5tel which is more than 8 hours on Pandaboard. Michael ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

I think we can drop this also for IPFire 3 If someone really need this we can easily readd it later. Arne ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
