Setting up a custom wanna-build instance
(Please CC me in the replies as I'm not subscribed to debian-devel)
Hi,
I'm looking into setting up my own local wanna-build instance as I want to
rebuild the m68k port with 32-bit alignment [1].
Has anyone done this before? Or are there better alternatives for building
Debian packages locally in an automated manner?
I have already successfully used Helmut Grohne's rebootstrap to perform the
initial bootstrap for m68k with 32-bit alignment and that worked without
any problems.
Now I want to rebuild the rest of the archive to see if there are any packages
that FTBFS on m68k with 32-bit alignment. I don't expect many packages to actually
fail as NetBSD on m68k has been using 32-bit alignment ever since the port switched
from a.out to ELF format and they don't have any particular issues.
There could just be a handful of Linux- or Debian-specific patches to work around
the 16-bit problems on m68k which may trigger an FTBFS when rebuilding Debian on
m68k with 32-bit alignment.
On the other hand, switching to 32-bit alignment on m68k should fix many important
packages on Debian on m68k such as OpenJDK or LLVM which have ever since had issues
with the 16-bit alignment.
Thanks,
Adrian
