so i was tooling along the road thinking about what it would take for people
to sit down and use Gentoo/embedded for the target ... currently we have misc
ways of doing this by hand (install mask/etc...), but it tends to be error
prone and it requires the end user to know more than they should about the
portage environment
what would help here is a frontend ... something like uClinux or Open Embedded
where a menu system allows the user to select the packages to install into
the target image and when they're done, they simply type 'make' ... wait a
bit and they're left with images that they can take and flash onto the target
board
so really, a friendly frontend for the user to select the characteristics of
the system, and then a backend to take that config and use emerge to build
everything and generate an image ... would make it easy to create stock board
descriptions too ...
what do you guys think ? stupid idea ? good idea waiting for a champion ?
