The official Golang documentation for installation from source says that it supports installation on riscv, meaning riscv is on _some_ tier of official support. Being tier 1 or the last tier doesn't matter (to me).

If you read the SPDX * Copyright (C) 2022 Alibaba Group Holding Limited.
<davidlt[m]>
Yeah, the IP vendor.
<dtometzki>
from this perspective VF2 is better more standard
<davidlt[m]>
What do mean by more standard?
<dtometzki>
How the kernel is build dir setup and so on
<davidlt[m]>
It doesn't matter. All of these are some form of hacks (typically) until things land upstream.
<davidlt[m]>
Things might look radically different by the time everything is in upstream.
<thefossguy>
That's just because they're probably waiting for upstream
<dtometzki>
yes correct
<dtometzki>
i hope it will change in the future
<davidlt[m]>
I generated a new distro repo, and trying to cook a new disk image
<thefossguy>
Would you be willing to create a new image mid-release if VF2 were to be supported by Linux mainline?
<davidlt[m]>
Yeah
<davidlt[m]>
Fedora 39 already has 6.4 kernel.
<davidlt[m]>
The plan is to release F38 + 6.2 ASAP, followed by F38 + 6.3, and get F39 rolling with 6.4.
<thefossguy>
That reminds me, the qemu image for f37 (I think) has a feature where the password for riscv resets to riscv_rocks!. Any plan to change this?
<davidlt[m]>
Well, at least I have some hope in this 😄 We'll see if I manage it.
<thefossguy>
Ah, okay :)
<davidlt[m]>
I have no idea why it resets. Never seen this before.
<thefossguy>
Oh well, let's see if it is different on real hardware with the VF2 image then
<davidlt[m]>
I have changed password in the past without any issues.
<thefossguy>
Maybe it has to do with how I "expanded" the image then
<davidlt[m]>
It also depends if you are running some kind of COW layer on top, which is not saved or something
<thefossguy>
That's probably what I was doing to save disk space
<davidlt[m]>
Anyways, if you remind me a bit later I could test it with a new disk image.
<thefossguy>
Though I also recall using dd 🤷
<thefossguy>
Absolutely
<davidlt[m]>
If I manage to generate one. We'll know within a few hours.
<thefossguy>
Sure, ping me when it generates and I'll manage to break it 😛

It seems there might be a new disk image today.

It's late here now, busy tomorrow until at least 15:00 (IST), will check the disk image then
<davidlt[m]>
It's not bootable out of the Koji.
<davidlt[m]>
Well, unless you are booting in QEMU.
<thefossguy>
I’ve yet to install QEMU on the VF2 but idk if it will work without the hypervisor extension
