From 03e6404936ef0974fdbc877d537b97b28e54124d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Efraim Flashner Date: Mon, 25 May 2020 12:29:55 +0300 Subject: doc: Remove explicit support for mips64el-linux. It's been a good run, but no one is maintaining the architecture. So long, and thanks for all the fish. * doc/guix.texi (GNU Distribution): Change text for mips64el-linux to denote it is deprecated. (Daemon Offload Setup): Change occurrences of mips64el-linux to aarch64-linux and adjust local code snippets. (Guix Environment)[cross-compilation]: Change mips64el-linux-gnu to aarch64-linux-gnu. (GNU Build System)(package-cross-derivation]: Same. (G-Expressions)[cross compilation]: Same. (Additional Build Options)[cross-compilation, build logs]: Same. (qemu-binfmt-service-type): Remove mips64el. * doc/contributing.texi (Submitting Patches): Same. * m4/guix.m4: (GUIX_ASSERT_SUPPORTED_SYSTEM): Remove mips64el-linux. --- doc/contributing.texi | 3 +-- doc/guix.texi | 25 +++++++++++++------------ 2 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) (limited to 'doc') diff --git a/doc/contributing.texi b/doc/contributing.texi index 25b50e8e72..88128e5498 100644 --- a/doc/contributing.texi +++ b/doc/contributing.texi @@ -938,7 +938,7 @@ your @code{operating-system} configuration: @lisp (service qemu-binfmt-service-type (qemu-binfmt-configuration - (platforms (lookup-qemu-platforms "arm" "aarch64" "mips64el")) + (platforms (lookup-qemu-platforms "arm" "aarch64")) (guix-support? #t))) @end lisp @@ -951,7 +951,6 @@ commands, respectively: @example guix build --system=armhf-linux --rounds=2 hello guix build --system=aarch64-linux --rounds=2 hello -guix build --system=mips64el-linux --rounds=2 hello @end example @item diff --git a/doc/guix.texi b/doc/guix.texi index 9c56f657d6..5b9942d420 100644 --- a/doc/guix.texi +++ b/doc/guix.texi @@ -464,11 +464,12 @@ and Linux-Libre kernel. @item aarch64-linux little-endian 64-bit ARMv8-A processors, Linux-Libre kernel. -@item mips64el-linux +@item mips64el-linux (deprecated) little-endian 64-bit MIPS processors, specifically the Loongson series, n32 ABI, and Linux-Libre kernel.
