We don't even have anything of value to distro maintainers. Distro wants something stable that can be packaged and forgot. With the rapid development of sunxi you would need new package of something every week. > > I'll try to make a desktop linux demo image available in a few days, > so that people could compare it with their current distros :) Maybe like an image with checkouts of the current drivers and libs somewhere in /usr/src or /opt and symlinks and configuration files in place to use the files built from these checkouts. Then you update by git pull && make. That is pretty much what I use but I have quite hackish image where some libraries are symlinked from the source dir, some are installed, some are copied because make install puts them in a wrong place, etc. Thanks Michal -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "linux-sunxi" group.
