The official Debian armhf packages are built with ARMv7, VFPv3_D16 and Thumb2. So they are not suitable for the Raspberry Pi and similar devices. To get round this we have to change the compiler defaults (easy) and recompile everything (harder than it sounds). |

Raspbian is a project to create a hard float port of Debian for the Raspberry Pi and similar devices which use ARMv6 processors with VFPv2. The official Debian armhf packages are built with ARMv7, VFPv3_D16 and Thumb2. So they are not suitable for the Raspberry Pi and similar devices. To get round this we have to change the compiler defaults (easy) and recompile everything (harder than it sounds).
Infrastructure has been set-up for building packages. We aim to stay as close to Debian 7 (Wheezy) as possible, but we will pull in packages from sid and/or make our own modifications when we deem it necessary.
A chroot can be bootstrapped from a Debian 6.0 (Squeeze) armel installation using the following commands (replace /chroots/wheezy-armhf-rpi with where you want your chroot).
debootstrap --arch=armhf wheezy /chroots/wheezy-armhf-rpi http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian cd /chroots/wheezy-armhf-rpi wget http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian.public.key chroot /chroots/wheezy-armhf-rpi mount -t proc proc /proc apt-key add raspbian.public.key apt-get update
If you just want to install the minimum number of packages add a --variant=minbase to the bootstrap command
Since this is running in a chroot you probably don't want it attempting to start and stop services when you update packages. To avoid this create a file /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d with the following commands.
cat << EOD >/usr/sbin/policy-rc.d #!/bin/sh echo "rc.d operations disabled for chroot" exit 101 EOD chmod 0755 /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d

Modified packages
Note: this list is incomplete
Source package | Changes | Reason | Status | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
abiword | remove build-depends on valgrind | We didn't have Valgrind in Raspbian at the time and abiword doesn't really need it (it's only used to run build-time tests) | We now have a working Valgrind, so this should be dropped the next time the package is updated. | |
apparmor | add build-depends on gcc-4.7 | The package was trying to build Perl-related stuff with gcc-4.7 due to changes we made in the Perl packaging. | It is now dealt with on the Perl side. The change to be dropped next time a new version comes in. | |
apt | Change dependency from debian-archive-keyring to raspbian-archive-keyring | We don't want Raspbian users to have the Debian archive keyring and we do want them to have the Debian one. | Permanent Raspbian change | |
ceph | disable use of libatomic-ops | libatomic-ops and ceph don't seem to work together on plain armv6 | Most likely permanent Raspbian change | |
chromium-browser | Set v8 settings for armv6 in debian/rules (based on work by Florian Will) | raspbian is built for armv6 | most likely permanent Raspbian change | build memory and address space use is a massive PITA |

Build with bfd instead of gold | Avoid segfault on startup | Discussed in Debian bug 696909, not applied in Debian yet due to other problems. | ||
clisp | Add armhf to architecture lists | armhf was not in architecture lists and package was requested by user | bug 684631 filed in debian. | |
Apply patch from SourceForge to fix operation on modern ARM | Package failed to build with illegal instruction error while running newly built clisp binary. | |||
Build with gcc-4.7 | Build failed with ICE | Local change likely to be kept until Debian makes 4.7 the default on armhf | ||
clucene-core-experimental | Raspbian specific source package based on experimental version of clucene-core with renamed source package and dev package. | Experimental version of LibreOffice needed newer versions of libclucene than was present in Debian 7 (Wheezy). | Local hack that hopefully can be dropped post-Wheezy | |

fpc | Change compiler defaults | We need the right compiler defaults for Raspbian. | Permanent Raspbian change not suitable for pushing upstream. | |
frozen-bubble | Add build-depends on gcc-4.7 | Package was trying to build with 4.7 (likely because we built Perl with it) | Now dealt with on the Perl side, and it will probablly be dropped when the next version comes through. | |
gambas3 | build with --disable-jit | gambas3 with jit wasn't working | Most likely permanent Raspbian change (unless upstream gives us a working JIT) | Unfortunately it seems that even with the JIT disabled the package apparently still didn't work. |
gcc-4.4 | Change compiler defaults | Need to build binaries suitable for Raspberry Pi | Permanent Raspbian change, not suitable for pushing upstream | |
gcc-4.5 | Change compiler defaults | Need to build binaries suitable for Raspberry Pi | Permanent Raspbian change, not suitable for pushing upstream | |
Treat Debian 7 (Wheezy) the same as sid | Compiler built in Wheezy was passing --as-needed to the linker which we don't want | Debian has dropped 4.5 already, we plan to drop it after Raspbian Wheezy | ||
Disable testsuite | gcc testsuite takes ages and we don't have the resources to do anything about failures anyway, especially for a non-default compiler version | Local hack, may be dropped later (but probablly won't) | ||
gcc-4.6 | Change compiler defaults | Need to build binaries suitable for Raspberry Pi | Permanent Raspbian change, not suitable for pushing upstream | |
gcc-4.7 | Change compiler defaults | Need to build binaries suitable for Raspberry Pi | Permanent Raspbian change, not suitable for pushing upstream | |
Disable testsuite | gcc testsuite takes ages and we don't have the resources to do anything about failures anyway, especially for a non-default compiler version | Local hack, may be dropped later (but probablly won't) | ||

gdc-4.4 | Change compiler defaults | Need to build binaries suitable for Raspberry Pi | Permanent Raspbian change, not suitable for pushing upstream | |
gdcm | Reenable mono on armhf | Unlike Debian, we plan to bring in mono 3.x for Raspbian Wheezy | Hopefully Debian will bring back armhf mono after Wheezy | |
ghc | Change compiler defaults for armv6 | We need armv6 code | Permanent Raspbian change | |
Force CPU and FPU settings in LLVM | llvm was crashing | Horrible hack, but unless we get a ghc/llvm expert on our team it will have to remain :( | ||
Git | Testsuite disabled | Testsuite failed and package was needed | It seems to be a Subversion related issue (Debian bug 678137), fixed in Debian sid, but we will have to carry our own patch for Wheezy. | |
gnat-4.6 | Change compiler defaults | Need to build binaries suitable for Raspberry Pi | Permanent Raspbian change, not suitable for pushing upstream | |
guile-2.0 | Testsuite disabled | Testsuite failed on plugwash's build system and package was needed | Testsuite fails for Debian as well. Hopefully they will fix it at some point. | |

openjdk-6 | Alter arm_port/hotspot/src/cpu/zero/vm/cppInterpreter_arm.S for armv6 | arm version directives in the aforementioned file were making libjvm.so in openjdk-6-jre-headless come out armv7 dirty | Probablly not suitable for pushing upstream in present form, may be able to be made suitable with extra conditionalising | |
openjdk-7 | Alter openjdk/hotspot/src/cpu/zero/vm/cppInterpreter_arm.S for armv6 | arm version directives in the aforementioned file were making libjvm.so in openjdk-6-jre-headless come out armv7 dirty | Probablly not suitable for pushing upstream in present form, may be able to be made suitable with extra conditionalising | |
Update to newer version from experimental | libjvm-so in icedtex6-jre-jamvm from the testing/unstable version was coming out with armv7 code in it | Hopefully debian testing/unstable will get this new version soon. | ||
openssl | enable assembler optimisations | we consider ssl performance important | hopefully debian will do this too at some point (see bug 676533) | |
p7zip | build with gcc/g++ 4.7 | g++ 4.6 failed to build package with internal compiler error. | local change likely to be kept until debian makes 4.7 the default on armhf. | |
perl | change build-depends and debian/config.debian to build with gcc-4.7 | gcc 4.6 failed to build package with ICE | local change likely to be kept until debian makes 4.7 the default on armhf | |
apply hack to change default compiler for perl modules back to plain cc | Just because we built perl with 4.7 doesn't mean we want the same to apply to perl modules (it had proved a massive PITA because there was nothing to pull it in) | local change likely to be kept until debian makes 4.7 the default on armhf | ||
pspp | add build-depends on gcc-4.7 | package was trying to build perl related code with 4.7 (likely because we built perl with it) | now dealt with on the perl side, will probablly be dropped with next update to package | |
disable testsuite | testsuite failed and we don't have the resources to troubleshoot it | local hack which hopefully can be dropped later | ||
pyopenssl | seperate build-arch and build-indep | documentation build was silently failing (causing a file not found error later) on raspbian | Bug 675414submitted to debian for build-arch/build-indep split and has been fixed in experimental. No idea on root cause of documentation build issue. | |
qpid-cpp | add build-depends on gcc-4.7 | package was trying to build perl related code with 4.7 (likely because we built perl with it) | now dealt with on the perl side, will probablly be dropped with next update to package | |
qt4-x11 | Disable neon | armv6 doesn't have neon (and not all armv7 systems do either) | Debian armhf isn't supposed to require NEON either. Working out whether this should be pushed upstream would require working out if there is any runtime checking for neon in QT which I (plugwash) don't have time for ATM. | Building documentation on raspbian seems to hang, when updating package a source+all upload should be built on amd64 or similar. The buildds can then fill in the remaining binaries. |
rrdtool | add build-depends on gcc-4.7 | package was trying to build perl related stuff with gcc-4.7 (likely because we built perl with it) | local change likely to be kept until debian makes gcc-4.7 the default on armhf. | |
squeak-vm | revert change to use system libraries | jpeg loading was broken | bug should probablly be filed in debian but afaict noone has got arround to it yet. | |
subversion | newer version from sid | plugwash thought package was about to migrate to wheezy but it didn't actually migrate | not much we can do about this :( | |
tcsh | testsuite disabled | testsuite failed and we needed to get update built to keep source and binary in sync | local hack, hopefully we can drop later. | |
ttf-opensymbol | new source package to build dummy package as libreoffice version used in raspbian no longer builds it | libreoffice in raspbian was updated to experimental version due to build issues (see above) | will be permanent in raspbian wheezy, hopefully can be dropped for jessie | |
twinkle | retintroduce package and change build-depends to libccrtp1 and libzrtcpp1 | User requested package and current versions of libccrtp and libzrtpcpp are not compatible with twinkle. | local change for raspbian wheezy. For jessie I plan to clean up packages that are no longer in debian and tell users to install them from wheezy. | |
valgrind | various fixes to make package build/work for armv6 | valgrind was broken | hopefully upstream will deal with this sooner or later but we may have to carry it locally for a while | |
virtuoso-opensource | revert removal of mono stuff from armhf | unlike debian armhf we plan to ship mono in raspbian | will be raspbian specific change for wheezy, hopefully for jessie debian will get a mono version that works on armhf too. | |
webkit | disable JIT | JIT doesn't seem to work on sub-armv7 | should probablly be dealt with in debian too but someone else can fight that battle | |
x264 | Disable build of neon variant | neon variant sets of our v7 contamination checker which could possiblly obscure real problems. | Not suitable for pushing upstream. May be dropped if our contamination checker gets smarter. | |
xastir | change build-dependencies from libgeotiff-dev to libgeotiff-alt-dev | xastir was requested by user and it's build-depends could not be satisfied due to conflict between libtiff4-dev and libtiff5-dev | patches sent to existing bug report 666589 in debian | |
xdotool | force build with ruby 1.8 | build failed with ruby 1.9.1 and last successful build in debian had been with ruby1.8 | appears debian has done the same in TPU | |
disable testsuite | testsuite was failling and we don't have the resources to debug it | appears debian has also disabled some tests in TPU |
