 dramforever | there's also nothing on this chip but lol | 12:36:21 |
 emily | I am doing split outputs and have to decide what should be the legacy target for random platforms we theoretically supported building a kernel on at some point | 12:36:29 |
| dramforever | In reply to @emilazy:matrix.org
right which is all I really care about for deciding what targets our linux builds okay so... no you cannot build a generic mips kernel to run on lemote | 12:37:03 |
| dramforever | afaict | 12:37:05 |
| emily | which is like "zImage for ARM, bzImage for x86, god knows for everything else" | 12:37:06 |
| emily | thankfully our bespoke Lemote config already fails to build so I'm removing it | 12:37:25 |
| emily | but you can override the defconfig | 12:37:32 |
| dramforever | so does it really matter what make target our unusable generic mips kernel is? | 12:38:12 |
| dramforever | well at least for riscv it's Image unless the generic compressed kernel has become a thing since last time i checked | 12:38:55 |
| emily | I could just break it but Alyssa would get mad at me. because we do nominally have some kind of MIPS conditionals and stuff in there already | 12:38:59 |
| emily | we use vmlinuz.efi for RISC-V and LoongArch64 | 12:39:19 |
| emily | thankfully | 12:39:21 |
| dramforever | in linux, you mean? | 12:39:23 |
| emily | so there is just no legacy there | 12:39:27 |
| dramforever | or in nixpkgs in general | 12:39:34 |
| emily | in our Linux kernel packaging machinery yes | 12:39:37 |
| emily | some of which is in lib.systems | 12:39:39 |
| dramforever | oh | 12:39:44 |
