Hi Everybody, We need a new admin for the Pico/Linux project, the linux distrobution (currently targeted at the Helio) featuring PicoGUI. I started the project when i ported picogui to the Helio, but i haven't had any time to seriously maintain it. Right now the project is suffering from several problems:
1. Lack of communication between developers 2. Disorganized source tree 3. No real admin This project is in need of a good administrator. If you or anyone you know would be up to the job, please respond to this post. IMHO, the following things need to be done to the picolinux project (in order of priority) if it has any chance to survive: 1. Get a better build system. I would recommend buildroot, written by Erik Andersen, and in use on the Tuxscreen and OpenZaurus projects. It is a system of makefiles that will build a romdisk and kernel from scratch, downloading and compiling all source from CVS or HTTP. This would eliminate the major headache of manually recompiling binaries for the distro. 2. Organize the kernel. Right now we've got a messy hacked up kernel in CVS. We need to reduce this to a set of patches that buildroot can apply against a standard linux-vr kernel. 3. Adapt the system to build romdisks and kernels for multiple handhelds, so the code will be of interest to more people 4. Get more people interested in the project who have kernel hacking and distro building experience Hopefully someone will step forward and keep the Pico/Linux project alive. -- Only you can prevent creeping featurism! _______________________________________________ Pgui-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pgui-devel
