Unfortunately, I have no advancement during last week. There has been an |
39 |
intense lecture scheduled unexpectedly. In spite of that, I am on |
40 |
overall schedule. |
41 |
|
42 |
I'd like to push the above plan into next week, in addition to the |
43 |
following: |
44 |
|
45 |
a. Talk to infra team to distribute a stage4 of armv7a-hardfloat |
46 |
Prefix/glibc, probably in gentoo/experimental in mirror. |
47 |
|
48 |
b. announce the stage4 in XDA[1] |
49 |
|
50 |
c. investigate and distribute a stage4 installer in Google Play[2]. |
51 |
purchasing of a developer account on Google Play may be needed. |
52 |
|
53 |
I may need to learn simple android GUI programming to write such |
54 |
a installer. |
55 |
|
56 |
Cheers, |
57 |
Benda |
