Dear OE developers,
I like to make an announcement on the VDR list. Could you please check my draft for it, that I did not mess up any terminology (framework, distribution) and that I gave correct credit to everyone. If you would change something to promote OpenEmbedded or the embedded world better or from a different point of view please tell me. Thanks and sorry to bother you with this, Paul --- Dear VDR users, VDR 1.7.10 is now also available as a package in OpenEmbedded (OE), a build framework for embedded Linux [1][2]. I thank Henning Heinold who did most of the work to get VDR included and the OE developers to answer my questions on the openembedded-devel mailing list [3]. Around 30 hours ago, Koen Kooi added VDR also to Ångström [4][5][6], a distribution using OE heavily. With `opkg install vdr` it is now as easy as on other systems to install VDR and get it running on embedded devices which because of their energy efficiency and form factors, e. g. BeagleBoard [7], are predestined for use as a server. The next steps are going to be to improve the packaging in OE and to send some patches to upstream VDR to adapt it for cross compilation [8]. As always especially the developers do not have much time, so help with testing and writing patches is very welcomed. Instructions will also be posted in the VDR Wiki [9] on how to get this running. Thanks again to everyone and happy testing, Paul [1] http://www.openembedded.org/ [2] http://cgit.openembedded.org/cgit.cgi/openembedded/tree/recipes/vdr/ [3] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-devel [4] http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/ [5] http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo/?pkgname=vdr [6] http://cgit.openembedded.org/cgit.cgi/openembedded/commit/?id=dfa0d36cac88fd6f3a451cc7bc9433629f4a2df00 [7] http://beagleboard.org/ [8] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/openembedded-devel/2010-January/016213.html [9] http://www.linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/Main_Page
