Hi,

my Orchid project (http://wiki.gnewsense.org/Projects/gNewSenseOrchid)
now has a trivial[1] repository for gnewsense-mipsel.

The repository is still rough, but should be enough to debootstrap from.
Having a functional debootstrap is needed (to my understanding) for 
wanna-build/buildd to automatically rebuild packages. There are probably 
others on the list with experience on how to setup and maintain a
buildd and setting up a "real" repository that wil hold a fully-fledged 
mipsel-distribution.

How to do it:

get the file http://mirror.softwarelibre.nl/orchid/orchid.debootstrap and move
it to /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/orchid

#debootstrap orchid orchid

will now create a gnewsense-mipsel distribution in de directory "orchid" that 
you
can chroot into.

It is still a far cry from a complete and tested gnewsense-mips port, but 
hopefully
it provides a good point to start further development from.

        friendly,
        Andreas
