Re: Bug#790571: please give-back capnproto on mipsel
Control: tags +confirmed
Dejan, Arturo, thanks for looking into this. Sorry I've been so slow
to get back to you.
Arturo, I understand you've followed up with upstream regarding the
affected tests & Kenton's helping you out with some experimental
patches to disable the failing tests. I'd be interested to know how
that works out, but I do worry that by disabling the tests we'll be
potentially glossing over a real issue.
Dejan, I think you might be onto something with that 4k buffer but let
me look into it a little. Are you aware of any porterboxes with
similar setups to mips-aql-02 + mipsel-manda-0{1,2}?
https://db.debian.org/machines.cgi?host=eder (Loongson 2E) looks like
it might be a promising candidate from a quick google around.
I'm guessing this is likely what's causing builds to fail on several
other archs too.
Cheers,
Tom
