Hi TS guys, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Would you be willing to host a public Wiki & portage overlay? I've been |
| 4 |
using portage for quite some time and now I can say that it's starting |
| 5 |
to be quite easy to just 'emerge' packages for the TS boards. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
I would definitely be willing to write the draft howto's to help |
| 8 |
everyone else get started who was interested. And I would certainly be |
| 9 |
willing to contribute any ebuilds and patches that I've already come |
| 10 |
across. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Aside from building various kernels, modules, etc, what I've done so far is: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
rebuild glibc userlands from scratch |
| 15 |
rebuild uclibc userlands from scratch |
| 16 |
(using the 2.6 linux kernel headers for compilation) |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
created patches (mainly for +minimal installs) and corresponding ebuilds |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
set up several preference files in /etc, like |
| 21 |
/etc/portage/package.{use,mask,unmask} and also savedconfigs for uclibc |
| 22 |
and busybox. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
The packages that I've emerged with all of my work range from basic |
| 25 |
things like busybox and zlib to jamvm, gnu-classpath, ftp-servers, and |
| 26 |
even custom software. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
After some level of stability has been reached, it's quite likely that |
| 29 |
the gentoo people would host all of the howto documentation and even |
| 30 |
merge some of the ebuild modifications into their own trees. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Does that sound like something TS would be willing to put up? |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Cheers, |
| 37 |
