Dear all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Gentoo on Android is about running Gentoo natively in a directory prefix |
| 4 |
on Android devices[1,2] in parallel with native Android, mentored by |
| 5 |
Luca. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
It is behind schedule. |

|

In the last week, we have developed the bootstrap script for Gentoo |
| 10 |
RAP. |
| 11 |
|

| 13 |
|
| 14 |
And tested it on x86, amd64, armv7a and armv5te. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
As the final deadline draws near, I want to summarize all the things |
| 17 |
that are left: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
1. root privilege in Gentoo Prefix: a prototype is there, need |
| 20 |
submission to portage herd. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
2. RAP stage3, two pieces: root and normal user. Compiling on my |
| 23 |
cell phone, with the shiny new bootstrap script. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
3. Google Play user-friendly App to install Gentoo RAP. Not sure, |
| 26 |
turn to xda-developers? |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
4. Cross bootstrap arm targets. The solution is, bootstrap a native |
| 29 |
arm toolchain, (i.e. CBUILD=x86_64-*, CHOST=CTARGET=arm*), and |
| 30 |
then bootstrap natively on the target device. (We have patched |
| 31 |
crossdev to work with Prefix). Ruud (redlizard) has a solution |
| 32 |
for that toolchain. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
5. GLEP-RAP to be accepted, the profiles and patches merged to |
| 35 |
gentoo-x86. toolchain herd needs vapier's approval to accepts |
| 36 |
RAP related patches. I think being approved by the council will |
| 37 |
accelerate that. Hints, Luca? |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
6*. musl and clang. It's probable that we have no time for that |
| 40 |
within this round of soc. |
| 41 |

Cheers, |
| 43 |
