Re: [gentoo-dev] [RFC] Ideas for projects...

A simple QA review of the entire portage tree, fixing any trivial QA concern like missing headers inclusion, missing -fno-strict-aliasing wherever there are bad programming practices and so on; pushing upstream whatever is just more complicate that including an header or adding a CFLAG. -- Sandro (sanchan) -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-dev] Re: [RFC] Some sync control
Markus Ullmann wrote: This was one of the big reasons. They (and we maybe as well) have people there with 56k/64k dialup connections. Checking out the whole thing would take ages. I can confirm we have people with 56k dial up :-) Checking out portage every day for a developer on 56k takes already a lot of time using cvs. If I had to check out the whole history every day I'd never become a gentoo developer. And the last thing was the idea about distribution. There is one centrally maintained tree and people commit to it all day. So the chance of getting conflicts in pushes if one is on tour for three days would be very likely and so the distributed part of the VCs wouldn't be helpful. I agree. -- Sandro (sanchan) -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-dev] Re: RFC - new category dev-tos
R Hill wrote: Considering we have _two_ separate categories for ~30 rox ebuilds, i think dev-tinyos category is justifiable. Spreading out two dozen packages that aren't useful for anything outside of TinyOS complicates things by making it inconvenient for devs to maintain and users to find. And it is easier to add in rsync_exclude if you don't want it... But it seems that there is no much consensus for the new category. Tomorrow I've planned the final tests on tos-1.1.15 and nesc-1.2.1 that will be added to dev-embedded if today nobody else vote for dev-tinyos. -- Sandro (Sanchan) -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

Personally I prefer to keep TinyOS related ebuild in the same category. Having tossim and tinyviz (the emulator) in app-emulation, and all the sub library needed by tinyviz in dev-java may be confusing for tinyos users. But it can be done. TinyOS tarball includes lots of apps. Shipping them splitted in a lot of ebuilds may be proibitive without a dedicated category. But I can choose to ship them in a single ebuild, move the ebuilds into existing categories and get rid of dev-tinyos. -- Sandro (Sanchan) -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

Alexandre Buisse wrote: I don't know TinyOS, but I assume it is a toy OS, like minix and many others. What about a dev-toyos category? It could be great to have some other toy OS, including the one I have been working on (funk, see http://home.gna.org/funk/), but also, if licences allow it, plan9, minix3, coyotos, l4 and so on. I do not have ebuilds for any of them but could help make some if people agree that it could be useful. from: http://tinyos.net/special/mission TinyOS is an open-source operating system designed for wireless embedded sensor networks. It features a component-based architecture which enables rapid innovation and implementation while minimizing code size as required by the severe memory constraints inherent in sensor networks. TinyOS's component library includes network protocols, distributed services, sensor drivers, and data acquisition tools – all of which can be used as-is or be further refined for a custom application. TinyOS's event-driven execution model enables fine-grained power management yet allows the scheduling flexibility made necessary by the unpredictable nature of wireless communication and physical world interfaces. TinyOS has been ported to over a dozen platforms and numerous sensor boards. A wide community uses it in simulation to develop and test various algorithms and protocols. New releases see over 10,000 downloads. Over 500 research groups and companies are using TinyOS on the Berkeley/Crossbow Motes. Numerous groups are actively contributing code to the sourceforge site and working together to establish standard, interoperable network services built from a base of direct experience and honed through competitive analysis in an open environment. -- Sandro (Sanchan) -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
