Marcin Juszkiewicz: AArch64 port of Debian/Ubuntu is alive!

Leave a comment

That day had to come. It was just a matter of time. Debian bootstrapped new architecture port using just own tools and packages…

It was long trip. During last few years we saw bigger amount of work spent in Debian/Ubuntu on cross building packages. Then were Google Summer of Code projects on bootstrapping Debian and one for multiarch cross toolchains. And we had Wookey with his ideas, knowledge and abilities to get one thing to work on for months in a way that managers were agreeding that it needs another month and another 😉

And today I found an email from Wookey about AArch64 port. I suggest you to read it as it has a lot of information. You can find ready to use rootfs there which (connected with kernel from OpenEmbedded) boots to fresh Ubuntu 13.04:

Welcome to Ubuntu Raring Ringtail (development branch) (GNU/Linux 3.8.0 aarch64)

 * Documentation:  https://help.ubuntu.com/
root@localhost:~# uname -a
Linux localhost 3.8.0 #1 SMP Wed Feb 20 14:31:07 CET 2013 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

You need to have patience as Upstart needs to run lot of stuff before it gives login prompt.

Still lot of work required as there are many patches to packaging waiting for being merged but I think that it is a big day for Debian and all distributions derived from it.

Kate LaTeX typesetting plugin 0.5 (KDE Text Editor)

Kate LaTeX typesetting plugin 0.5
(KDE Text Editor)
This is a plugin for Kate which adds two buttons on the toolbar: “Run LaTeX” and optionally “View Output” (see first screenshot; of course you can add or remove these buttons in the “Configure Toolbars” dialog). The first button runs LaTeX (and runs BibTeX, MakeIndex, and reruns LaTeX if necessary; optionally the viewer is launched after this), the second button opens the output in the viewer of your choice. The paths to the executables can be modified in the Settings dialog (see second screenshot).

changelog:
Version 0.5 (2013-02-18):
– add “Go to next LaTeX error” and “Go to previous LaTeX error” buttons

Version 0.4.1 (2012-11-06):
– set pdflatex as the default typesetting program (instead of latex)
– let this plugin be compilable on Debian (Ubuntu, …) systems by providing our own copies of the missing header files (this is sooo dirty, but blame Debian for removing those headers); on decent systems the headers installed in the system will be used instead of our own copies
– make the plugin more thread safe
– reimplementation of the configuration panel
– in the “Messages” box, use the colors from the color scheme set in the KDE System Settings

Version 0.4 (2011-10-26):
– remove bug: when the warning about undefined citations is splitted on several lines in the log, then bibtex is not run
– focus the log text when the log panel is shown, so that the log can be browsed with the keys without first having to click in the log text
– show error message if the latex/bibtex/makeindex executables are not found
– remove bug: sometimes the latex log is not completely shown

Version 0.3.1 (2011-03-16):
– remove bug: if the “Stop LaTeX” button is added to the toolbar, then it doesn’t remain in the toolbar when restarting Kate
– remove bug: in the “Configure Shortcuts” dialog the label of the group containing this plugin’s actions is “Unknown” instead of “LaTeX Plugin”
– the “Stop LaTeX” action is disabled when LaTeX is not running

Version 0.3 (2010-07-06):
– add abort button
– don’t try to run anything if the document is a never saved new document (“untitled”)
– in CMakeLists.txt: installation paths are now the defaults specified in the KDE cmake modules
– add support for creating source and binary packages
– add French translation

Version 0.2 (2008-08-19):
– remove bug: unable to add or remove tools to the toolbar
– remove some crashes (I hope)
– add an option to automatically launch the viewer after running LaTeX
– in CMakeLists.txt: installation paths are relative to CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX now

Version 0.1 (2008-02-29):
– first version
