Although I agree that all ebuilds built for the embedded project should be |
14 |
part of the portage tree (probably need some new categories), so that they |
15 |
could be installed using vanilla emerges on platforms with the guts to |
16 |
support it, should we perhaps consider a new emerge (emberge?, emergemb?, |
17 |
crossmerge?), using many of the portage facilities, but designed to support |
18 |
cross-compiling and building a target filesystem, rather than installing on |
19 |
the local box. This would exist alongside emerge, but have its own config |
20 |
file structure , etc. |
21 |
|
22 |
The reason I ask is that it occurs to me that some things that we might want |
23 |
(like, for example, multiple target platforms for the same emerge process, |
24 |
platform-specific patching, tracking local source tree changes) would provoke |
25 |
such supstantial changes in portage and things like make.conf that we're |
26 |
unlikely to get them without (1) a long fight (2) giving up some things we |
27 |
want. Also, multi-platform cross-compiler support is such a significant |
28 |
retrofit that I'm wondering if it wouldn't result in either a nasty |
29 |
bag-on-the-side or a second system effect if we try to re-engineer portage. |
