Hello everyone, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Today is the end of Summer of Code. As soon as I can (= when it'll be possible |
| 4 |
to upload this stuff somewhere), I'll release 3 important things to the |
| 5 |
Gentoo/BSD community: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
- Gentoo/NetBSD ebuilds: as I said, these ebuilds need to be polished, reworked and |
| 8 |
tested. I didn't get a lot of feedbacks on them so please, be soft with me. :P |
| 9 |
- gentoo-netbsd-5.0-stage3.tar.bz2: the famous tarball in question. I'll write |
| 10 |
a little wiki to explain installation steps but it should be very easy: perform |
| 11 |
a minimal NetBSD install, download the tarball, extract, and enjoy ! |
| 12 |
- QEMU VM image: for people who don't want to mess with the install, an image |
| 13 |
will be available. I really need to wait for Google to give us a place to |
| 14 |
upload our stuff because of the size of the VM (3 GB). Please, be patient. I'm |
| 15 |
sorry but currently, I don't have enough place on my VPS. (perhaps Gentoo guys |
| 16 |
can provide me some .. ? :D) |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
I've made some screenshots of this VM during boot process via OpenRC, login, |
| 19 |
emerging of an ebuild (nano), .. Take a look at this url to see them: |

| 22 |
This project won't die after GSoC; I'd like to continue working on this in |
| 23 |
order to make something as mature as Gentoo/FreeBSD project. Yeah, there is a |
| 24 |
big amount of work. :) |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
As usual, don't hesitate to comment my work, I'll be glad to hear you. :) |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I'd like to thank Luca Barbato for his support during the half my GSoC; I |
| 29 |
probably wouldn't have finished this project without him. I also like to thank |
| 30 |
gentoo-bsd mailing list guys for their precious answers. Even if their has been |
| 31 |
hard times, it has been a pleasure to work for the Gentoo Foundation. Thank you |
| 32 |
all of you ! |

Cheers, |
