Hi Everyone, I'm quite new to using Paludis, but I'd like to have an 'emerge' substitute for some embedded systems with <= 16 MB of nand flash storage.
I've been a gentoo user for at least 4 years, and have also been using it to create binary packages for our arm boards within the last 2 years. Up until this point, we've had no need to monitor / update packages on a live system - we've always just created a filesystem image and then blasted it with all of our software in the shop. We're now turning towards modularizing all of our software and being able to do remote updates whenever necessary in order to better facilitate our clients. Subsequently, we need to actually have some small embedded package manager present which maintains a db of installed software and versions. The packages will never actually be built on the embedded devices themselves; they will have to fetch a binary package from a pre-determined repository. * Do you think that Paludis is a suitable for such a task? * What runtime requirements does Paludis have? (i.e. does it need libstdc++, etc) * Does Paludis deal with the 'blobs' at the end of normal gentoo tbz2's which contain all of the package information? Emerge and Python are (drastically) too large for us in this task, so I was hoping that I could get some pointers from the list. Thanks to all in advance. Enjoy the rest of your weekends, Chris _______________________________________________ paludis-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pioto.org/mailman/listinfo/paludis-user
