u-boot after 2017.11 does not support building with gcc < 6.0
<DonkeyHotei>
if you are building on ubuntu 14.04, that's pretty inconvenient
<DonkeyHotei>
are there any sunxi-meaningful changes after 2017.11 yet?
<anarsoul|2>
DonkeyHotei: 14.04 was released 3.5 years ago, why do you still use it?
<apritzel>
anarsoul|2: the last systemd free Ubuntu?
<anarsoul|2>
apritzel: I see
<apritzel>
but yeah, the software in there is getting old, GCC being just one example
<pmpp>
or because it usually take 3 years to fix bugs ? 6 months is not too much for enjoying stable
<anarsoul|2>
pmpp: I'm using archlinux that uses rolling release model, and I haven't had any major issues for years
<DonkeyHotei>
anarsoul|2: i'm skipping 16.04 and waiting to see if 18.04 is any better
<DonkeyHotei>
systemd is yuck
<lurchi_>
compared to upstart ...
<DonkeyHotei>
14.04 already has bits and pieces of it
<pmpp>
DonkeyHotei: mint 18.3 is beginning to look like an os
<anarsoul|2>
iirc ubuntu switched to gnome in 17.10
<DonkeyHotei>
it would be great if they picked up the glue packages from devuan for 18.10
<DonkeyHotei>
if not for ubuntu then for xubuntu etc.
<lurchi_>
if you wan't a totally broken system, then go for devuan ...
<DonkeyHotei>
i'm aware
<DonkeyHotei>
but 18.10 is almost a year out

<wens>
systemd is not going away in ubuntu
<DonkeyHotei>
of course not
<DonkeyHotei>
but in xubuntu and others, it doesn't have to be required
<DonkeyHotei>
unfortunately, due to the common repos, this would be tricky
<wens>
after installing, switch to sysvinit-core? that's what I do on Debian anyway
<miasma>
how's that related to gcc versions? can't one just install whatever version afterwards if the distro's repositories are outdated
<lurchi_>
DonkeyHotei: if you are fine with crappy shell scripts for the init systems, this is clearly doable
<DonkeyHotei>
miasma: yes, and installing gcc that's not in the repos is pretty inconvenient
<miasma>
how about using it in a chroot?
<DonkeyHotei>
why bother?
<miasma>
ok

getting a toolchain that is current isn't that hard. free electrons and linaro offer prebuild ones and building one yourself with crosstool-ng isn't that hard either. so there are easy solutions for you if you really have to use 3+ year old distribution for development

hi there, I'm developing a new product, a home appliance, using allwinner a64 as the brain. Could any one point to me which kernel branch is most usable now? Per my understanding the mainline master still missed some feature, right?
f0xx has joined #linux-sunxi
<codekipper>
anarsoul: no...I couldn't get any audio out of it.
<anarsoul>
weird
<anarsoul>
codekipper: did you try my branch?
<codekipper>
I was struggling to get 'Headphone Playback Switch' to get set using alsamixer
<codekipper>
yes.
<codekipper>
didn't use your .config though, as I netboot and prefer everything in the image.
<anarsoul>
I'm just using NFS, so no issues with loading modules
<anarsoul>
of course, everything essential for booting (mostly networking drivers) is compiled in
<codekipper>
yeah...I need to spend some time looking at that

beeble: thanks for point me the url. I checked the page, and since audio and mipi dsi are must have features for my product. looks like I have to use the allwinner SDK kernel...
<codekipper>
anarsoul: yeap..they're both enabled.
