Not needed anymore, the standard deb runs on Sheeva.

Ah, but Debian doesn't run on the PogoPlug.  :(

Don't know anything about the Pogo distribution, but the default SheevaPlug comes with Ubuntu.

I'll be getting a couple of SheevaPlugs this week from an old friend at Marvell.  :)  Looking forward to trying it.

But, I think I read somewhere that Ubuntu 9.10 and forward will deprecate armv4 support - this would be an issue.

The old ARM format is being deprecated, not an issue as I'm only building EABI binaries.  BTW Dean, try the tarball version on Pogo.

I meant "an issue" in that I thought, maybe incorrectly, that Sheeva was armv4.  Certainly not our issue either way.

Alas, on launching /opt/bin/perl slimserver.pl there's an Illegal Instruction using the openpogo ipkg perl.  FWIW the perl info is below.

The ones I built are only for thread-multi.

I figured it was something like this.  Well, until there's debian on PogoPlug, it's probably not worth messing with.

Reopening as an enhancement because someone (maybe me) might want to work on this.  Also renamed because this is really only a Pogo issue and not a Sheeva issue.
