Actually, with the Gentoo/MIPS project... we've got a (semi-unofficial) hardware compatability database, where people can specify what configurations work for them, etc. http://stuartl.longlandclan.hopto.org/gentoo/mips/ Basically, the above site, allows people to record what configurations work for them, as well as the kernel configs used. They can make their own notes as to how this configuration runs. It also works in reverse, if I were to get an O2, I could go to that site, and have my pick of 3 (at time of writing) kernel configurations that I could try, two 2.6.9, one 2.6.12-rc2. Perhaps something for packages could be rigged up? I would certainly make use of such a system if one existed. If anyone's interested (in particular, arch teams) in the code for the above site, I'm happy to distribute it -- just needs PHP and MySQL. -- ____ _ Stuart Longland (a.k.a Redhatter) / _ \ ___ ___ __| |__ __ __ Gentoo Linux/MIPS Cobalt and Docs - (_) \ / \ ; \(__ __)/ \ / \ Developer \ // O _| / /\ \ | | | /\ | /\ | / / \ /__| / \ \ | | | \/ | \/ | (___/ \____/|_; |_| \_/ \__/ \__/ http://dev.gentoo.org/~redhatter --------------enig990CD15D561F18E06F57711E Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFC4fqfuarJ1mMmSrkRAif0AJ402uKlP8hSGASYWod5T0tPpuZuGQCaAsJQ pd5q8Rk60s2BoYeumankJvM= =ca23 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig990CD15D561F18E06F57711E-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
