[gentoo-soc] [GSoC] Gentoo/DragonFly BSD Final Report

[Naohiro Aota]

Hi,

This is the final report of Gentoo/DraonFly for *GSoC*.

As I've mentioned in the last mail, I've already created stage3, and my
portage overlay, which you can use to begin your Gentoo/DragonFly. My
portage overlay contains ebuilds fixed for DragonFly
environment. (Actually, official portage tree is never used unless you
unmask it. You can emerge and use app-portage/autounmask.)

http://elisp.net/stage3-x86-dragonfly-2.6-r3.tar.bz2
http://elisp.net/portage-dragonfly-overlay.20100724.tar.bz2

Here is the content of my "world" file. You can emerge at least
these packages. (some packages need to be (auto)unmasked.)

app-crypt/gnupg
app-editors/emacs-vcs
app-editors/vim
app-misc/tmux
app-portage/autounmask
app-portage/eix
app-portage/gentoolkit-dev
app-shells/zsh
app-shells/zsh-completion
app-text/lv
dev-util/catalyst
net-misc/dhcpcd
net-misc/ntp
sys-dfbsd/dfbsd-sources
www-client/w3m
x11-base/xorg-server
x11-drivers/xf86-video-mga
x11-terms/rxvt-unicode
x11-wm/awesome

Here is what I think I should do after the GSoC:

- merge dragonfly overlay into official portage tree
-- I want dragonfly to be like what gentoo/freebsd is now.
- fix many QAs
-- maybe some core library have un-relocatable code, which cause PIC QA
   notice for most packages. I should fix this.
- make xorg drivers work
-- maybe both DragonFly itself and gentoo x11-*/* denpedency are quite bad...
- make more and more packages work
-- I beleive much packages work without modification. I'll find them and
   KEYWORD them.

That's all! Thanks for your help and suggestions. Of cource, I'll be
glad to get more advice about Gentoo/DragonFly future :) I really want
to get it usable as Gentoo/Linux! 

Regards,
Naohiro
