Re: [Crash-utility] [PATCH V3 0/3] sparc64 support for crash utility

[Dave Anderson]

Dave,

I'm about to check your stuff in, but one additional item needs to be added
to configure.c for the crash.spec file.  What's the proper sparc64 name string
that should be added to the "ExclusiveArch:" list?

Thanks,
  Dave

Hi Dave,

Your 3-part patchset is queued for crash-7.1.5 in these two commits:

  https://github.com/crash-utility/crash/commit/569002249b1d57162a1e94f529d295828d4e0253
  https://github.com/crash-utility/crash/commit/fd2f8ef41e76c1276d9bbd33dfcff94dd6da9439

I hope to release crash-7.1.5 sometime later this week.

Dave
