Actually, with the Gentoo/MIPS project... we've got a (semi-unofficial) |
| 23 |
hardware compatability database, where people can specify what |
| 24 |
configurations work for them, etc. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
http://stuartl.longlandclan.hopto.org/gentoo/mips/ |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Basically, the above site, allows people to record what configurations |
| 29 |
work for them, as well as the kernel configs used. They can make their |
| 30 |
own notes as to how this configuration runs. It also works in reverse, |
| 31 |
if I were to get an O2, I could go to that site, and have my pick of 3 |
| 32 |
(at time of writing) kernel configurations that I could try, two 2.6.9, |
| 33 |
one 2.6.12-rc2. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Perhaps something for packages could be rigged up? I would certainly |
| 36 |
make use of such a system if one existed. If anyone's interested (in |
| 37 |
particular, arch teams) in the code for the above site, I'm happy to |
| 38 |
distribute it -- just needs PHP and MySQL. |
