[gentoo-dev] New Profiles

[Daniel Glaser]

Hello,

is anybody out there, who could help me developing a new profile for 
embedded PowerPC (PPC405EP without floating point unit). I tried to 
build one but it's very painful if you've never done it.

I don't know, what I have to provide exactly. If I use a local profile 
(I put it in /usr/local/profile and made some link to it from 
PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT/etc/make.profile), I don't know, how to refer to 
/usr/portage/profile/embedded/ with the parent file.

Shall I give an absolute path?

Shall I bind /usr/portage/ to PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT/usr/portage or to 
ROOT/usr/portage?

It's really confusing to me, how to handle it with another root, but I 
have to, because I'm cross-compiling.

Hello Guys, hello Luca,

another thing I forgot is, that I need a stage, that is not yet in 
experimental. What would be the fastest way, to get to something like:

stage3-ppc-glibc-softfloat-2006.1.tar.bz2

Would it be to get the uclibc, which is in experimental and just 
recompile everything glibc?

I really would recommend logging onto irc.freenode.org channel
#gentoo-dev-help as they are more than willing to help with this kind of
thing, you'll get answers much more quickly and will not take up the dev
list with specific questions. I recommend looking at catalyst though to
build stages:

HTH, igli ;)

Please don't point people to this document.  It is a work-in-progress
and does not accurately reflect the state of catalyst 2.x (but rather
catalyst 1.x), its configuration, or its capabilities.  For the best
documentation, grab the tarball (or emerge catalyst) and look at the
examples.

Thanks,

Oops, my bad, sorry. I got the link a couple of months ago, but it seemed
like a bad time to get into Catalyst, what with releng being occupied with
the release.

I should point out to people that there is a mailing list where you can ask
specific questions about Catalyst problems:
http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.catalyst

Afaict that's the best place for users to get help (as IRC channel is for
development of the actual software) and I've seen interesting discussions
on there (but then, I'm a geek.. ;)

Sorry, was out for the Weekend. Thanks a lot for your help. Will log
on to irc tomorrow morning, as soon I've configured it on my workbox :-)

[gentoo-dev] New profiles

[Chris Gianelloni]

Please remember to sync gentoo-x86/profiles before doing any further
commits.  The new profiles need as much checking as possible.  There
have been several commits made by people who have masked things and such
but forgot the new profiles.  Also, if you make changes to any of the
new profiles, please let me know so I can sync the changes into the
snapshot tree.

Thanks,

I may have missed some post, but do you have a short description, or a
pointer to some documentation of how the profiles are structured now?

I'd like to reorganise my prefix profiles in the same way.  I see some
big benefits in doing so, but before I do I'd like to make sure I
understand the new structure correctly.

Thanks!
