Ok, well its been pretty quiet around here lately, mainly due to the |
2 |
holidays. But now that those are all done, I'm looking again to really |
3 |
jumpstart the project. I've been a little distracted on the cross |
4 |
compiling and uClibc aspects of the project. However these are going to |
5 |
take some more time, especially the part with portage handling multiple |
6 |
toolchains (need to get portage people on that, for one). |
7 |
|
8 |
What we are getting is some more people interested in using Embedded |
9 |
Gentoo, and as of late, a couple of users having some interesting |
10 |
home-brew solutions with NFS. So I am proposing that we move forward in |
11 |
parallel with the current developments, and do some work with glibc. I |
12 |
know there are x86 embedded users, and there are some "bigger" devices |
13 |
that use glibc. Also, it might be possible to manipulate some |
14 |
paths/variables to get portage to use cross compilers, so some cross |
15 |
compiled stuff could be possible. |
16 |
|
17 |
So, we can move forward and explore how exactly we want to create system |
18 |
images, perhaps with emerge -B or ROOT=. Gentoo_newb1e on IRC also has |
19 |
been looking at using catalyst to generate images, which is a creative |
20 |
solution. There's also the pesky baselayout-lite stuff, still. |
21 |
|
22 |
Ok, so that was a bit of a stream of consciousness. Mainly we need to |
23 |
get started with some other things, so we can see some more progress. |
24 |
So I'd like to hear some comments here. Also we should probably have |
25 |
another IRC meeting some time after LWE. |
