Subject: [SoC 2009] What's new ?
Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2009 00:50:41 +0200
Hello everyone,

Here are the lastest news about the project.

What have been done ?
- I coded the lastet ebuild needed to complete my "collection": NetBSD 5.0 kernel compilation & installation.
- I've made changes in my ebuilds, in order to make them use bsdmk eclass. It
  is much painless to write NetBSD ebuilds using this eclass.
- I've added new functions to my NetBSD eclass. These functions use bsdmk
  eclass sub-functions.
- Thanks to Javier comment, I've created patches for Makefiles in order to
  remove some binaries / libraries compilation & installation. Here is the list
of what I've removed and what I'll need to emerge to install what have been
removed:
http://projects.boulz.org/trac/gentoo-nbsd/attachment/wiki/WikiStart/netbsd-gentoo-ebuilds.txt

What needs to be done ?
- OpenRC integration: We will stop to use NetBSD rc services management in
  favor of OpenRC services management. I've successfuly compiled OpenRC (which
seems to work out-of-the-box on NetBSD). I've also read
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/openrc-migration.xml but I would like to write a
checklist concerning NetBSD before moving forward. I'm very new to this stage
so any help would be appreciated.
- Profile creation: Currently, I've made a crappy copy/paste from "x86-fbsd"
  profile but I would like to create a new profile. Same as above, I'm new to
this stage and any help would be much appreciated.
- Ebuilds testing/patching: Portage tools rely on Perl and Python and I'll
  sureley have to patch these ebuilds. I should plan a bulk build to test which
ebuilds work/fail during compilation process.

As usual, any comments/suggestions are welcome, so please don't hesitate!

Cheers,

Patrice
