Sourceware Survey 2025 Results

In the end we got 103 (!) responses with a nice mix of developers, users and maintainers from various hosted projects.

Thanks to Marc Poulhiès, @thesamesam and @mjw there is now a GCC full languages (C, C++, Ada, D, Fortran, Go, Modula2, Objective-C, Objective-C++, Rust and LTO plus libjit) with --enable-checking=yes,extra,rtl CI builder for https://builder.sourceware.org

https://builder.sourceware.org/buildbot/#/builders/gcc-fullest-debian-amd64

It does a bootstrap and runs all testsuites in about 2 hours, every 3 hours. All test results end up in bunsen.

#GCC, #C, #C++, #Ada, #D #Fortran, #Go, #Modula2, #ObjectiveC, #ObjectiveC++, #Rust, #LTO, #libjit

Thanks to RISC-V International and SOPHGO we got a Milk-V Pioneer Box.

The first thing we are using it for is GCC CI on https://builder.sourceware.org

#sourceware #gcc #riscv

Looking forward to the GNU Tools Cauldron in Prague September 14-16.

https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/cauldron2024

Don't forget that the talk submission deadline is in two weeks on 31 July.

#Sourceware Project Leadership Committee members, FSF tech-team @fsfstatus and our fiscal sponsor @conservancy will also be there.

#binutils and #gdb now also generate code snapshots on https://snapshots.sourceware.org

https://snapshots.sourceware.org/binutils/trunk
https://snapshots.sourceware.org/gdb/trunk

StarFive has donated 4 VisionFive-2 risc-v boards with 8GB, 4-core JH7110 supporting the RV64GC ISA for the CI running on https://builder.sourceware.org for Sourceware hosted projects.

They are running ubuntu server 23.10 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RISC-V/StarFive%20VisionFive%202

Various projects are already running on risc-v: #annobin, #binutils, #bzip2, #debugedit, #dwz, #elfutils, #gnupoke and #libabigail.

Please contact the builder project if you want to help out adding other Sourceware hosted projects.

#Sourceware @ #Fosdem 2024

Various Sourceware projects will give presentations at @fosdem next weekend, Feb 3 and 4, in Brussels.

Guinevere, Dodji, Jose, David and Thomas organized some great devroom talks:

Various Sourceware volunteers, overseers, PLC members and @conservancy staff will also be around.

#gdb #libabigail #systemtap #valgrind #binutils #elfutils #gcc #newlib #glibc #gnupoke

#Sourceware now has a donation page: https://sourceware.org/donate.html :copyleft:

Sourceware thanks @conservancy for their support and urges the community to support Conservancy

#Sourceware has only been a Software Freedom Conservancy member project for just 6 months. But the story started a long time ago and a lot has happened in that time:

https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2023/nov/27/sourceware-thanks-conservancy/

We hope the community will support the Software Freedom Conservancy 2023 Fundraiser and become a Conservancy Sustainer https://sfconservancy.org/sustainer

#Sourceware @ #Fosdem

Various Sourceware projects will be present at @fosdem plus various overseers and of course @conservancy staff.

Get your talk submissions in before end of the week (December 1st) to these developer rooms:

Network connectivity to #Sourceware seems to have been restored.

Please be patient while buildbot workers are reconnecting and starting to process the https://builder.sourceware.org CI build jobs.

On Friday, November 17th 2023 at 13:00 UTC the switches in the Red Hat community cage will see an upgrade and reboot.

This might impact connectivity of #sourceware gcc.gnu.org valgrind.org cygwin.org elfutils.org dwarfstd.org

All 1g ports will be not switching data and will be down from about 13:00 to no later than 13:30 UTC.

@sourceware thanks to #FUTO futo.org for doubling the (micro) grant, originally just for #Valgrind, to maintain and expand the #Sourceware infrastructure for all core toolchain and developer tool projects.

If you also want to donate to Sourceware please see https://sfconservancy.org/donate and become a @conservancy Sustainer or give directly by mentioning Sourceware as comment or on the memo line.

#Sourceware updates. email ARC headers, @osuosl provides a big arm64 server for https://builder.sourceware.org and patchwork updates.

After the #glibc libc-alpha and #gcc gcc-patches mailinglist tests to avoid From rewriting worked out nicely we enabled the same settings to some other mailinglists.

The other gcc patches lists for #libstdc++, #libgccjit, #fortran and #gcc-rust. And those project that use #patchwork, #newlib, #elfutils, #libabigail and #gdb.

This hopefully makes mailing patches and using git am on them a bit nicer.

Please contact us if you have any issues with the mailinglists.

If you enjoyed the GNU Tools Cauldron and like to organize an online virtual mini-BoF followup around some topic or project then the @conservancy BBB server is available for all #Sourceware projects.

Looking forward to the GNU Tools Cauldron in Cambridge at the end of this week.

#Sourceware Project Leadership Committee members @ezannoni
@iank and @mjw will be there. Joined by Bradley Kuhn the Policy Fellow of our fiscal sponsor @conservancy

Happy to discuss any Sourceware, GNU Toolchain Infrastructure issues and our 25 year Roadmap.

The #debian #arm64 build are disabled for now because the Hardkernel ODROID-N2Plus board didn't come back up after a kernel upgrade.

#elfutils #libabigail #dwz #bzip2 #valgrind #debugedit

Uncover interesting test cases with AI/ML and #Bunsen on #Sourceware

https://developers.redhat.com/articles/2023/08/02/uncover-interesting-test-cases-aiml-and-bunsen

The AI/ML engine is already running on our showcase sourceware.org server. The AI/ML predictions are shown on the #DejaGnu panels, highlighting "mismatches"

https://builder.sourceware.org/testruns

The #gentoo #sparc builders are disabled for now because the worker had become a little too unstable.

https://builder.sourceware.org

We hope to get it back soon because it is doing a lot of builds for #Sourceware projects.

HTML email. Most #sourceware projects allow it, if there is at least a text/plain alternative.

But #publicinbox is not so forgiving, it only allows plain-text emails, HTML is rejected by default.

So the https://inbox.sourceware.org archive was incomplete.

We now have a filter that removes redundant HTML parts before storing in public-inbox. And we re-imported missing emails to make the archive complete.

But please don't sent HTML email. It will make DKIM verification of your email impossible.
