[gentoo-dev] Gentoo/MIPS: Anyone want to help?

[gentoo-dev] Gentoo/MIPS: Anyone want to help?

[Nicholas Wourms]

Hi,

A few days ago, I emailed Daniel asking if he'd be 
interested in having someone develop a MIPS (32bit 
bigendian) port of Gentoo.  He gave me the go ahead, so I've 
been working on it over the last few days.  I've almost 
finished getting a netboot and cd image prepared, after 
which I plan to start working on ebuilds.  So, I wanted to 
test the waters and see if anyone with a MIPS box (not PS/2) 
was interested in helping and/or testing this once I have it 
ready.

Cheers,
Nicholas

What boxes contain MIPS ? old SGI boxen ? 
If you have a list ... I'll see if I can get some boxes to play with

Well the best supported ones are the:

DEC Decstations:
2100, codename PMAX
5000/xx (Personal DECstation), codename MAXine
5000/1xx, codename 3MIN
5000/200, codename 3MAX
5000/2x0, codename 3MAX+
5900/2x0 (identical to the 3MAX+).

SGI Indy

Some support but still somewhat experimental:

SGI Indigo2
SGI O2
SGI Origin 200 and 2000

There are others that might be supported, but probably not 
very well.  The are a bunch of embedded systems and such, 
but we aren't really focusing on those at the moment.

Cheers,
Nicholas

we actually already have a stage1 mips tarball ...

I've got an O2 that I'd LOVE to donate it's time to the project! Tell me what 
to do to help you get it on the supported list.
