I'm trying to build the arm64-gate of illumos, but I'm getting tripped up with issues due to Python 3.12

I'm also having some problems with u-boot having issues with its build folder not being the same as its source, but I feel like I'm doing something more fundamentally wrong

I'm on OmniOS

ncmdr@rosetta2:~/arm64-gate/src/u-boot$ uname -a

SunOS rosetta2 5.11 omnios-r151048-f0898315c59 i86pc i386 i86pc

Next-generation AI-enabled Tribblix - tribblix.org/r42.html

in a datacenter in the Moon

in the deep core of the Moon

Tribblix AI-edition contains gazillion packages in SVR4 format that you can install manually

NCommander: I think richlowe would be the one toe ping.

In code.illumos.org/c/illumos-gate/+/3392 gerrit claims that usr/src/test/util-tests/tests/awk/tests/T.misc is "binary". it's a text file that contains a few \007 characters.

ugh.

That's somewhat unfortunate, but I see where they're coming from haha

ah, also a couple bare \200

(not valid UTF-8)

just frustrating because I'm about three yaks deep in this yak shave and I don't want another pet yak.

for whatever it's worth, github copes with it.

I guess it's saying it's binary because _git_ does?

if you look at code.illumos.org/~diff/b949bd6f0bb0286ea0d3bce6b4c7b86c6123 it seems that way at least

[illumos-gate] 10509 zpool_003_pos can't find core file -- Jason King <jason.brian.king⊙gc>

jclulow: that's odd because git doesn't say that for me locally.

git show b949bd6f0bb0286ea0d3bce6b4c7b86c6123 -- usr/src/test/util-tests/tests/awk/tests/T.misc does not claim the file is binary

(git version 2.44.0 as packaged by openindiana)

perhaps it's the Java-git buried inside gerrit that's doing that.

sommerfeld: Ah, perhaps!

okay, turns out it's not the non-UTF-8 text

it's a carriage return in the middle of a line

code.illumos.org/c/illumos-gate/+/3393 changes a single ASCII CR to a \r sequence and then gerrit treats the file as non binary in code.illumos.org/c/illumos-gate/+/3394

→ CODE REVIEW 3393: XXXXX gerrit test 1: avoid odd carriage return in script (NEW)

or, I should say, "diffable" rather than "non binary".

huh! wild
