Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I've made a sparc32 port of Gentoo but I couldn't find any mention of |
| 4 |
porting in the documentation. I'd like to know: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
1) Are you 'friendly' towards ports? |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
2) Can I put the stage 1 tarball on your site? |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
3) Can you setup a new CVS tree so it can be accessed like: |
| 13 |
SYNC="rsync://cvs.gentoo.org/gentoo-sparc-portage" |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
3) The linux-headers packages contain 2 platform specific lines, can these |
| 17 |
be wrapped using uname -m statements? |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
cp -ax ${S}/include/asm-i386/* ${D}/usr/include/asm |
| 20 |
[...] |
| 21 |
cp "${ROOT}usr/src/linux-${KV}/arch/i386/defconfig" .config |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Shall I write a patch? |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
4) I'm working on a 64-bit capable version using redhat's gcc |
| 27 |
2.96-20000731 for compiling sparc64 (the kernel prefers this). Would it be |
| 28 |
possible to have this package stored on your site? There are >300 patches |
| 29 |
that are applied to this tree so I'd rather not duplicate that work and |
| 30 |
publish a patched tree immediately. This problem is going away anyway as |
| 31 |
we'll reportely have decent sparc64 capability in the upcoming gcc 3.1 |
| 32 |
tree. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Thanks! |
