BonSlack: **UNOFFICIAL** Porting of Slackware GNU/Linux - Luca Bonissi


BONSLACK: **UNOFFICIAL** PORTING OF SLACKWARE GNU/LINUX TO ARM, DEC ALPHA, HPPA,
LOONGARCH, MIPS, OPENRISC, POWERPC, RISC-V, S/390X, SH4, SPARC, X86

Following the status of BonSlack, an (unofficial) porting of Slackware Linux to
ARM, DEC Alpha, HPPA, LoongArch, MIPS, OpenRISC, PowerPC, RISC-V, S/390x, SH4,
SPARC, x86 architectures.

The build system is the same of slackware64's one, plus (few) patches to allow
compilation for architectures different than x86. Where needed, the build script
was upgraded to allow the use of external variable LIBDIRSUFFIX to determine
where to place libraries (lib or lib64).

The "hard" porting challenge was qtwebengine inside qt5, since it is based on
Chromium and the latter has only official support for x86, arm, aarch64 and
mipsel (Android architectures...). The porting to ppc, ppc64, ppc64le, mips,
mips64el, riscv64, s390x, and sparc was based on PowerPC and BigEndian porting,
plus some additional patches where needed.

[1]Missing from patches: extra/llvm, patches/rust, patches/mozilla-firefox,
patches/mozilla-thunderbird, patches/seamonkey [2]Missing from patches:
mozilla-firefox, mozilla-thunderbird (seamonkey stops to 2.49.4) [3]Missing from
patches: mozilla-firefox, mozilla-thunderbird, seamonkey [4]Glibc-2.33 (in
-15.0) set abi default to gnuabi64 for mips64el, instead of 14.2's gnu abi.
Rebuild from scratch required (binaries from 14.2 and -15.0 are not
abi-compatible). [5]Latest u-boot upgrade not (yet) built. Packages
seamonkey/mozilla-firefox/mozilla-thunderbird to be built. [6]Kernel not (yet)
built. Packages seamonkey/mozilla-firefox/mozilla-thunderbird to be built.
[7]Packages seamonkey/mozilla-firefox/mozilla-thunderbird to be built.
[8]Packages seamonkey to be built. [9]z900 minimum CPU; z990 minimum CPU for
Rust due to the usage of "lay" instruction
(vendor/psm/src/arch/zseries_linux.s). [10]LIBDIR for alpha is "lib" despite it
is a 64 bits architecture, because 32 bits implementation does not exists and
gcc/glibc by default are simply using "lib". [11]BonSlack 14.99 is BonSlack 15.0
but with downgraded gcc (8.2.0) and glibc (2.28) to be compatible with existing
older distribution, such Yocto for Toradex Colibri system-on-chip. [12]Bug on
libclang prevents to run sip_generator.py for KDE, do not provide sip files.
[13]Packages in 32bit portings of BonSlack-current (15.1) are [re-]compiled for
Y2038 compliance (_TIME_BITS=64).
Please note that some of these packages are NOT compatible with previous
BonSlack versions due to different time_t size (32/64 bit) in structures and/or
in APIs.
[14]The difference from the official Slackware is that BonSlack x86 tries to
keep as much as possible Y2038 compliance (_TIME_BITS=64 for all [re-]compiled
packages).
Please note that some of the packages from this porting are NOT compatible with
official Slackware libraries (some official Slackware libraries still compiled
with 32bit time_t that are not compatible with programs/libraries compiled with
64bit time_t).
If you want to use a specific package/program from this porting, you also have
to install all packages that include libraries with time_t exposed in their
APIs. For example, htpasswd, htdigest, htdbm, and logresolve programs from httpd
package are linked to libdb-4.8 from db48 package, so if you want to install
httpd package from this porting you should also install db48 package from this
porting and all other packages that are linked to libdb-4.8 (gnucobol, libical,
libpinyin, moc, nvi, pam, perl, php, postfix, python2, rpm, ruby, serf,
subversion).
If you want to mix packages from the 2 portings, the suggestion is to mix only
packages that are not dynamically linked to libraries that expose time_t in
their APIs (such as gnupg and gnupg2). [15]Provided glibc 2.22 due to dropped
support for pre-v9 CPUs from glib 2.23 to glibc 2.30. Missing gcc-libitm due to
v9 requirement. Minimum CPU is v8; CASA instruction - LEON3+ - required for
programs that use libatomic. [16]LEON3+ or processor with CASA instruction
mandatory. [17]Provided glibc 2.35, the first with or1k support, and binutils
2.39 due to non complete support for -mcmodel=large in binutils 2.37. Provided
crtbeginS.o from gcc 12.2.0 due to missing R_GOT_AHI16 in 11.2.0's one.




BUILD SYSTEMS

ARMv5te, ARMv7, AArch64, and RISC-V64 are build respectively on OrangePI PC
(Allwinner H3, with patched arch and uname), OrangePI PC (Allwinner H3), Orange
PI Prime (Allwinner H5), Orange PI Zero3 (Allwinner H616), and Nezha (Allwinner
D1) single boards. Building of rust, qt5, seamonkey, mozilla-firefox, and
mozilla-thunderbird is done on Orange PI Zero3 for arm-based porting (arm,
armv7hl, aarch64) and on AMD Ryzen 7 3700X with qemu-user for riscv64, since
they requires at least 4GB of memory.
For the remaining systems, the same AMD Ryzen 7 3700X system with qemu-user is
used (qemu-system used to build JDK on some architectures).
ARMv5te is tested on Seagate GoFlex (Marvell Kirkwood Feroceon 88FR131 1.2 GHz,
128MB RAM with 2 SATA interfaces in RAID1). This system is also used as main
repository for sources and binary packages.
