I have already been working on this for about a week. I am actually in |
| 9 |
the process of finally building a pmac cdimage.iso as I write this, and |
| 10 |
will put up an alterate portage tree in a day or two. |

Syscall #'s for XFS xattr support on PPC still need to be reserved. |
| 13 |
They are already reserved on i386 for #226-#237, I believe. In the PPC |
| 14 |
kernels I've built, I've just padded the syscall table up to 226 and |
| 15 |
dropped these calls in there. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
On another note. Is there a way we can come up with that we could |
| 18 |
override the linux-headers package on a per-profile basis? This would |
| 19 |
help make bootstraps easier. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Also, I keep running into a bug with sandbox that I haven't looked into |
| 22 |
yet where stuff will freeze up (like an inf.loop.) with WCHANs often of |
| 23 |
rt_sigwait(?) and pipe_wait... |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
I also hit a patch (the utility) bug that seems to be fixed by building |
| 26 |
it the way debian does and maybe with their bugfix patches.. I'll be |
| 27 |
submitting an .ebuild for this to bugzilla in a bit. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Also, I doubt that this could be achieved in the near-term, but |
| 30 |
gcc-3.0.4 kernels on ppc oops for me under moderate vm load. :( Also, as |
| 31 |
far as kernels go, I've managed to make a PPC kernel with XFS support, I |
| 32 |
haven't tested anything reiserfs, nor do I really intend to. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Expect cdimage.iso/build.tbz2 and a rsyncable portage tree that (mostly) |
| 35 |
works for ppc on Tuesday or so. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
sandbox not working may just be because I've bootstrapped this from a |
| 38 |
(almost bare) debian install... I'll have to try it again when I boot |
| 39 |
strap from the gentooppc image I'm building. |

The Government just announced today the creation of the Neutron Bomb II. |
| 44 |
Similar to the Neutron Bomb, the Neutron Bomb II not only kills people |
| 45 |
and leaves buildings standing, but also does a little light housekeeping. |
