I don't know why my name inherited two "a"'s but I've been called worse ;-)

Good work and I'll keep merging in your build script patches as and when I get to them; but please note that this is not an official port - only Patrick can decide what receives the "Slackware" label.

sorry i fixed it

yes, of course Patrick lets decide, I just want to get support for aarch64 architecture

mini root only for testing (not all packages from the original miniroot)

Stuarta Wintera, sounds like a GoT character. Suits you, Ser! Probably a good thing your name isn't Paul. :P

Then we share an interest and a common goal.

Very good work. I shall look forward to testing your aarch64 miniroot as time permits.

Is this project endorsed by Stuart Winter or is it like Slamd64 in its time ?

Was it cross-compiled from scratch ?

The latter. I like seeing the community developments, but under the 'Slackware' name, I cannot endorse anything other than my own work.
Slackware ARM was previously called 'ARMedslack' for many years because it was not an official port.

Without attempting to be Patrick's mouth piece, just as no other Linux distribution or company would permit it, I know that he does not tend to favorably respond to his own brand name being used without his approval.
The project needs a new name until such a time that Patrick endorses it.

originally planned to make changes to the current project Stuart Winter, but then decided to take the original scripts and, if necessary, make patches to them

no it's not cross-compiled direct compilation on the aarch64 motherboard by the donor at the beginning served as the distribution crux

agree, let it be slarm64

^ i think you also need to change the links in your first post, and maybe the thread title too.

So, if I understand correctly, the Pi3 supports aarch64? Or is this on a different type of hardware?

yes it does support

Awesome!!

The Raspberry Pi 3 has a Cortex-A53 (ARMv8-A) CPU featuring a 64-bit instruction set. This device is capable of running a 64-bit, "Aarch64", operating system, and allows 32-bit applications to be executed in a 64-bit OS by providing user-space compatibility with ARMv7-A, the "Aarch32" or "A32" (32-bit), architecture.

The Raspberry Pi ARM11 (ARM1176JZF-S) and Raspberry Pi 2 Cortex-A7 (ARMv7-A) CPUs feature a 32-bit instruction set. It's not possible to run a 64-bit "Aarch64" operating system on these devices.

Thank you for the very detailed explanation and for all the great work the people involved have done to make this available for Slackware.

Forbidden ?

Not a bad thing in my opinion (although it works for me). How many times you have to ask someone to stop using a project's name that they have been explicitly asked not to use, I don't know.

sometimes it happens because of the load
now it's working fine

that it is necessary to remove the mutual agreement?

Hello,
First, lemme say: Great work :)
I wannet to ask , do you plan to add rsync to http://dl.fail.pp.ua ?
I'll like to mirror it, and rsyncd will be nice to have running on it.
Oh and another thing, any plans to add PACKAGES.TXT, FILELIST.TXT & CHECKSUMS. ( for the package managers )

Thank you.

if there is such a need in the near future I will add rsync and PACKAGES.TXT, FILELIST.TXT & CHECKSUMS

added server to synchronize rsync: rsync rsync://dl.fail.pp.ua

Thank you.
Mirroring at https://mirrors.slackware.bg/slarm64/

added generate PACKAGES.TXT, FILELIST.TXT & CHECKSUMS

Great...
btw rsync seems to be down :/

Thanks, I'll follow him. it is also available by ipv6

What is happening on dl.fail.pp.ua ?
There is no DNS record for dl.fail.pp.ua at this moment,
and mirrors.slackware.bg also does not have any update.

certain difficulties arose, I hope that I will soon restore

restored access via http and rsync.
started updating packages

loss of all information, i have to restore everything from scratch

rsync rsync://dl.fail.pp.ua

the site with a mirror has very much helped http://mirrors.slackware.bg/

I'm glad it helped :)

btw I found the OPi images ..seems u don't have 'em now.
http://mirrors.slackware.bg/lamerix/opi_images/

Thank you.
at the moment I do not have any pc x86 (desktop system on firefly-rk3399), so I need to adapt the scripts of the image assembly to the native system (arm|aarkh64).
for rockchip rk3288 and rk3399 not everything can be assembled (atf and packing u-boot) precompile images will be taken.
in advance on time to update packages with slackware64-carrent

re-written the script file generation distribution PACKAGES.TXT FILE_LIST FILELIST.TXT CHECKSUMS.md5

lamerix,
I'm look in the mirror http://mirrors.slackware.bg/slarm64/slarm64-current/ there are no updates

Oh sorry...
Fixing rsync script to reflect URL change.
Syncing in progress...

Sycned and will re-sync every 6 hours :cool:

On the script
Improve package matching in find command to match all slackware package extensions

Thanks!

then need to add package processing.

I'm obviously missing something. I have tried installing to my orangepi (Orange Pi PC V1.3), but it isn't working as expected. I first downloaded one of the orangepi images and burnt it to my sd card. It booted up just fine, but apparently just a miniroot fs. I have been trying with no success to get the rest installed to make a complete installation of slarm64. I tried making an install disk on usb connected sd by downloading all the files from the mirror site. Setup fails to run after booting into the minifs. It just drops back to the command prompt. I have tried using slackpkg by pointing it first to my downloaded files, then to the mirror site (using https, http, and ftp) I keep getting different errors.

What do I need to get Slarm64 installed on my Orangepi?

Orange Pi PC is not 64bit. The Orange PI PC is supported by Slackware ARM in -current. You'll find the instructions linked from the web site.

That explains it. Thanks Dr. Mozes. I mis-read the specs, I was looking at H5 specs not H3. Guess I will go to current install. :)
