Gentoo/Alt:Prefix
> Are we fine?
Sure.
- reached >10% coverage/replication of the gentoo-x86 tree
- convinced two contributors to become Gentoo ppl
- attracted more "big players"
- extended our arch.list
- brought Portage Prefix branch fully in sync with trunk
- rough Prefix binpkg support (chpathtool, via tinderbox.dev.g.o)
- enabled Java (Sun, Diablo, (Apple/Soylatte)), Haskell (GHC) in Prefix
- mostly automated tree syncing, to easily stay up-to-date
> What are we going to do:
Just continue.
- try to make cross-compiling/building with target prefix fully working
- sort out the 64-bits targets with their multilib-hell forced upon us
- add more arches, {net,open}bsd ones being worked on
- work out support for bootstrapping from a binhost
- hope we can get an rsync tree with metadata generated (get faster!)
- try to eliminate python as it usually doesn't compile (will fail)
- try to convince more people (you know who you are)
- finish writing of the stupid glep
- add more packages/try to close all package request bugs
- think about privileged installs
- get baselayout fully ported (support for runscripts)
- (maybe) think about multi-prefix (could solve the FreeBSD GNU conflict)
- try not to kill overlays.g.o
- seek cooperation with "Gentoo upstreams" where appropriate (part of
the slight maturing phase)
- try to get all the other companies we know they use us, to post
some testimony like
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.alt/3308 :) (wishful
thinking)
- maybe invest some time to get repoman's SVN support patch acceptable
for the trunk (not much benefit for us at the moment, though)
- (most probably) go crazy
