[neuvoo] 0.3.0 progress

[Viridior]

I've been compiling heavily for 0.3.0.

[Done]
----------
metro base system
xorg-server
xf86-video-omapfb
@lxde
package list
* http://neuvoo.org/neuvoo/DOCS/neuvoo-0.3.0_rc2.packagelist.txt

[Short-Term Todo]
--------------------------
chromium (in progress)
items on 0.3.0 roadmap
* http://neuvoo.org/wiki/index.php?title=Category:Project#02.2F15.2F2010

[Long-Term Todo]
-------------------------
gst-plugins-ti (ebuild created)
omapfplay (ebuild created)
dsplink (ebuild in progress)


This is my build system so things like NFS and a few other utilities
will not be included in the final image, they are installed currently
for my build env. Binaries are uploaded here,
http://neuvoo.org/neuvoo/packages/armv7a/0.3.0/official/
I have tweaked the neuvoo profile to get something running, I have no
doubt that some other features/ will need to be included on the
default official image, but turning those on will be trivial and I
wanted to get something with minimal USE flags to start with and then
start adding accordingly.

Forgot to mention... gregoiregentil, lead dev for the Touchbook,
pinged me again today asking when our image will be ready so he can
bundle it with the next AI OS release pack. I told him another week
or two since that is when I will be moving to Hawaii, if I don't have
something by then I will not be able to do much until close to August.

Please let me know if you will be available to work on our image over
the next week or during my absence.

HI viridior:
    I've spent a few time playing with beagleboard, looking forward working together
Current e17, xfce4, evolution, thunderbird... all works.
    Hope we can spend more time working on OMAP specific, like your long term goal.

Dennis

Thanks dennis,

  I know you and a few others have been compiling also.  I am now using the neuvoo profile tree as my base.  With that set, now I am just building the basics of a working desktop image.  Once I have something that is functional I will move back to working on our long term objectives.  Once this base image is on the server I could use some help expanding the packages available.

Anything you would like me to work on?

I have rsync'd my running images here: http://neuvoo.org/neuvoo/images/0.3.0/test/...

rc2 was a build image that I have been using to populate the binrepo
- links that shouldn't be used for official release
- /var/tmp & /var/cache

rc3 is my first test image for the actual release
- using this to finish up the neuvoo overlay profiles tree to be
release worthy
- start working on configs
- get a command list of post-metro install commands

I could use help with configs files

I can try to peck away at these if I can break up the work into very
small units.

"For then there will be great distress, unequaled
from the beginning of the world until now — and never
to be equaled again. If those days had not been cut
short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the
elect those days will be shortened."

Are you ready?

[Viridior]

I appreciate the help, the configs are good enough to get the system
booting and xorg running. What needs work is the little things that
can improve the experience. I figure the more eyes on it the better
it will be since we all tend to focus in specific areas guided by our
use of Gentoo.

I synced rc3 last night, you can find it here:
http://neuvoo.org/neuvoo/images/0.3.0/test/rc3/

All changes should be pushed to git here:
http://gitorious.org/neuvoo/release-resources/trees/master/devices
'common' is for all devices
'<device>' are specific to that device
'additional' are 1. things that are not included in the base image
but good to have, 2. place holder until moved to either 'common' or
'<device>'.
Precendence is given to '<device>', I copy 'common' first then the
respective '<device>' directory.

I have been keeping track of the commands im using to build the system
here:
http://neuvoo.org/wiki/index.php?title=0.3.0

And you can see a 'equery list' here:

I haven't read the rest of the e-mail in depth yet, but before I close
up my laptop and forget again, I wanted to let you know that in 8 days
I will be done with all my exams, and will be back a few hours every
day again. This time I have a job, so I won't have quite the 6
hours-a-day sprint I had over Christmas. (That was, by the way, the
most fun I've ever had in three weeks.)

Looking forward to joining you guys again this summer! :)
