armv7 dev bundle for meteor 1.4

[j8r]

There is a dev bundle build for meteor 1.4 on aarch64 but not for armv7. I try to compile it from source but it doesn't succeed (at the end of the node.js compilation it fails to do a ln node) Could you provide an armv7 dev bundle build for meteor 1.4? The aarch64 build is already useful to me. Thank you for you work.

[gerwinbrunner]

I would also be very interested in this armv7 build.

Hi Julien, Gerwin ( @j8r @gerwinbrunner )

being late with the 1.4.x releases in case of some mongo actions. I will publish them within the next two weeks.

Thanks for using this fork Tom

[gerwinbrunner]

@TomFreudenberg That sounds great. I'll give it a test run as soon as it's available. So just let me know.

[NoahVlncrt]

With the announcement of 1.4 will the 1.3 armv7 dev bundle be skipped?

[TomFreudenberg]

Hi Noah ( @NoahVlncrt )

the 1.3.x is already available at:

https://bintray.com/4commerce-technologies-ag/meteor-universal/arm-dev-bundles/1.3.4.1#files/arm_dev_bundles

Do you miss something else Tom

[NoahVlncrt]

I noticed after I had typed that I was messing up the version. Will we be skipping straight to 1.4.2 for the improved build speeds?

[Sing-Li]

Thanks Tom for the incredible work as usual. Our project has migrated to 1.4.2 and we are looking forward to test the new dev bundles as well. Even if mongo needs to remain on 3.0.x it will still be very useful.

[gerwinbrunner]

@TomFreudenberg How are things going with the 1.4 version? Can I help out with testing already?

[TomFreudenberg]

Hi guys,

I am still curious with the mongo 3 - Seems that this CAN NOT BEEN BUILD for NON-AARCH64 architecture.

I can't prepare a stable patched release for mongo.

Decision is for that,

1. to leave the mongo out of the dev_bundle and enforce you to use a system delivered mongo
2. or to package an older mongo release (which in my case is fine)

Thanks for some feedback Tom

[rgstephens]

I like the idea of a including an older release as you suggested.

Tom - thanks for this great work that saves us all so much time!

[TomFreudenberg]

Hey Greg @rgstephens

thanks for for feedback - yes I would prefer this too.

Let's wait for 1-3 more feedbacks ... @gerwinbrunner @Sing-Li @j8r @TPXP

[NoahVlncrt]

I like the idea of having an older release of mongo included. @TomFreudenberg

[j8r]

No problems for me on the mongo side, I can both use the one of my system or in the bundle.

[Sing-Li]

Absolutely choice 2 ... we'll be fine with the older release of mongo as part of the 1.4.x devbundle :+1: Thank you!

[Zaiban]

I'm sure older mongo is fine, many users are probably like me and not actually developing on ARM (as there are faster solutions), but use it only to build the node bundle so it can be served on ARM machine. And if users wants to develop on ARM and use the mongo 3 specific features, then he/she can just use external mongo anyways.

[TPXP]

System-delivered mongo seems more reasonable to me since it enables a better integration with the system, by sharing libraries for example. This is interesting because, most of the times, you use a microsd card on your arm system, so saving some more space is not as useless as it seems to be. Furthermore, MongoDB is now a popular software, and every distribution has it in its repositories.

Also, I've always been using my system's Mongo build (and its arch, so it's quite up to date) and never had an issue with the program itself : the retrocompatibility does the job. So auto updating is not so annoying as well.

So choice 1 for me. ☺️

[gerwinbrunner]

@TomFreudenberg I would also go for the older version of mongo.

[TomFreudenberg]

Hey to all interested in ...

After you feedbacks and some internal discussion, I will bundle the ARMv7 with an older mongo release so that we are able to run meteor directly on that boards as well. I try to do the builds next weekend.

Thanks for your support Tom

[gerwinbrunner]

Hi @TomFreudenberg is there anything we can already test?

[TomFreudenberg]

Hi @gerwinbrunner

We had some small build issues on mongo but now running ... Release will be available soon

Thanks for your feedback

[gerwinbrunner]

Cool thx

Mit freundlichen Grüßen Gerwin Brunner

Any news ? Thanks

[benlavalley]

Would be cool to see this one out :)

[NoahVlncrt]

Just checking in. Is there any progress? If not is there something we all can do to help? @TomFreudenberg

[mttstt]

it's dead ?

Hi @TomFreudenberg I'm a bit late to this party, but have meteor working at 1.3 on a Friendly Elec NanoPi + quite nicely, the issue I'm having is that the project I want to play with is already at meteor 1.4 and I have no idea how to downgrade it here so am wondering too about the 1.4 release and what I'd need to do to upgrade. If I can help testing, happy to try and break it (pretty good at that it seems).

[NoahVlncrt]

Hello everyone It certainly has been a while. While the 'release-1.4-universal-beta' isn't the default and we haven't heard @TomFreudenberg in a bit. I got tired of waiting around and built it myself. Good news, It builds!

[TomFreudenberg]

Hi @NoahVlncrt

what does it mean ... built it by myself?

The builder is already working since weeks (see my beta build) Problem still the MongoDB bundle.

I haven't yet a stable 32 bit mongo and even not on arm64 ... did you run the build for that as well?

Looking forward to your PR

Thanks Tom

Hi @TomFreudenberg ,

We did evaluate a couple of SBC for one of our project and we are using your fork, working pretty well, thanks.

The ODROID C2 comes with an arm64 (aarch64) ubuntu mate and there is an official 64 bits mongo build for that. Running pretty smothly
