Main problem with android, that it is quite big with VERY strange build steps, |
| 34 |
if you want begin ebuild-ing them - very nice, at least Gentoo-Openmoko people |
| 35 |
will test them. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
We [Gentoo-Openmoko] also thinked about porting android to Gentoo, but it |
| 38 |
postponed now because of others more important stuff. FSO/SHR is better than |
| 39 |
android anyway :), and they should be ported first. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Android basically is just kernel+busybox, if I'm not mistaken they have even |
| 42 |
separate libc (neither glibc, neither uclibc). So porting work isn't very |
| 43 |
simple. |

P.S. Neo Freerunner (gta02) where android runs too: |
