I just completed a preliminary stage1 tarball for alpha . It runs fine |
2 |
in a chrooted environment and I can rsync and stuff. All basepackages |
3 |
required for the stage 1 appear to work now. I created several patches |
4 |
(gcc,binutils and glibc in paricular) on top of the available packages |
5 |
in portage that are required for alpha. Now the question I'd like to ask |
6 |
you guys about is how should I go ahead with this ? I already have a |
7 |
local portage mirror running in order to be able to quickly hack things |
8 |
like the profiles and ebuilds but Id really like to go ahead and give |
9 |
other people the chance to hack with this and maybe even commit to cvs |
10 |
(who is actually responsible for cvs accounts ?) Or would it be better |
11 |
to actually wait until I reached stage3 ? |
12 |
I already contacted the 2 guys that posted some time ago asking for |
13 |
instructions on alpha porting and Im in contact with at least of them |
14 |
(Michel Wilson). But I guess more people wouldn't hurt (in fact I think |
15 |
we'd need at least a couple of people to get gentoo for alpha into full |
16 |
swing), so if you own an alpha ...... |

Anyway Id appreciate any help you can give me. |
