[gentoo-mips] MIPS32 little-endian softfloat rootfs

[gentoo-mips] MIPS32 little-endian softfloat rootfs

[Manuel Lauss]

Hello,

I've uploaded another snapshot of a little-endian softfloat MIPS32 rootfs
I maintain for a few of my MIPS toys.

It's a complete gentoo installation, with toolchain and a few lightweight
desktop environments.

See the readme at [1] for more information,
Grab the tarball at [2], and if you're curious, file and individual
package listings
are at [3] and [4].

Hi Manuel,

Thanks much appreciated!

Maybe we can upload that to the mirrors? not in the stages directory but
perhaps in a new one? Anthony what do you think?

We can since we don't have little endian mips32r1.  They are glibc and 
they are not stage3 catalyst builds.  So I'm not sure where to put them.

We do :)
http://mirror.bytemark.co.uk/gentoo/experimental/mips/stages/stage3-mips32el-20140215.tar.bz2

What we don't have are soft-float builds.

I was thinking maybe a new directory

$mirror/gentoo/experimental/mips/community

or

$mirror/gentoo/experimental/mips/desktop

and move your desktop-loongson2f there too.

Right, they're basically a dump of what I currently feed to my Alchemy
boards, i.e. stuff
I want to try and such.   Stage 3 isn't really appropriate, maybe a
"contributed"  subdirectory?
In any case, I usually keep these files a few years on my site, and
try to update them once
every 6 months or so...

unfortunately loongson2f link has propagated through various mirrors 
blogs etc, so I'd rather leave it.

No problem. I will create another directory 'contrib' with a small
README file explaining that these are community builds and put it there.
