MIPS question

[Catudal Michel]

Is there a funtoo stage3 for MIPS Creator CI20?
I see that gentoo has one.

We currently don't support MIPS. It would be easy to add -- just need to get a good build server for MIPS. Any suggestions?

There is a small board MIPS Creator CI20 which gentoo has a stage and image

ftp://lug.mtu.edu/gentoo/experimental/mips/desktop-ci20/

How hard would it be to convert a gentoo stage to funtoo?  I plan on getting one of these boards and I could look into that. I am not sure how I would do the conversion.

Convertion of gentoo stages to funtoo is theoretically possible. I know some succeeded in this. But it is strongly discouraged. Funtoo has own portageprofiles and tools for manage it. Custom changes in toolchain packages: gcc, glibc, bintuils, openrc, many others. Time consumed on convertion is roughly same if not longer than using native stages. Also making FUntoo stages on hardware (MIPS) will ensure it will work.

I finally got my CI20 creator board after several months of delays. I am in the process of creating a gentoo installation. The board is not very expensive, $65 plus shipping.

What would I need to do to create the funtoo stages? I have a gentoo installation and funtoo installation on my PC. I use gentoo for cross compiling since it was not possible to create the cross compiler on Funtoo.

I have tried Fedora but I don't find it very stable and they have tons of annoying messages on the command line screen. The more stable Linux is debian but I never really cared for debian and it takes forever to boot.

have you tried using metro to build a funtoo stage using gentoo stage as a seed?
