[gentoo-soc] Gentoo on Android: Summary for 2013.7.28-8.13

[heroxbd]

Dear Guys and Gals,

entoo on Android is about running Gentoo natively in a directory prefix
on Android devices[1] in parallel with native Android, mentored by Luca.

It is behind schedule.

Done in last two weeks,

     1. crossdev support Prefix (bug 384167), wait for vapier

     2. merge of several eclasses from Prefix overlay
        
        toolchain (bug 474358), toolchain-binutils (bug 478434),
        kernel-2 (bug 478436)

        wait for vapier and kernel herd.

     3. GLEP RAP submitted to gentoo-dev for peer review.

     4. update on bug 475592, but still no reply from infra.

        distribute the stage3 by bittorrent

     5. RAP tested to work with multilib, which is not supported by
     Prefix.

Schedule till 2013.8.16,

     1. RAP patches to binutils and gcc upstream

     2. distribute armhf RAP stage3 by bittorrent

     3. bootstrap script for RAP (based on Prefix official and
     redlizard's versions)

Cheers,
Benda

We abandoned the plan to make a patch for gcc upstream, as we don't have
a natural solution. We poked upstream (gcc bug 52556) hoping to be
supported.

binutils patch rolls to next week.

I am compiling a new stage3. The microSD card is too slow for small
files. I am thinking of other solutions.

Any other good way to set up a build farm for arm?

redlizard, my overlay[1] is still pending :( let me try to update it
again in 8 hours.

You can use qemu-user, cross-distcc and/or the cross-container trick.

I am using cross-distcc right now. qemu-user/cross-container on a powerful
box is still several times slower than my native smartphone.

As it is IO bound, I am thinking of replacing microSD with mobile HDD when
compiling.

Send patch to binutils upstream

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.binutils/63137

no feedback yet though.

I was given permission by infra team to distribute it on Gentoo mirrors.

Updated my repo. But no advancement in the bootstrap script.
