Random Thoughts / Questions (inspired by Roadmap discussion)
Hello everyone, This has certainly been an interesting Roadmap discussion (as usual)! Here are a few thoughts and questions that are not directly related to the Roadmap. Haiku-on-Genode: Cedric, your HoG screenshot looks great! Please keep us informed - I hope your TuneTracker transition goes smoothly! Framework 16: After many years of waiting for an upgradable, open-source, full-size laptop, it looks like it is finally almost here. Assuming there are no show-stopping problems, I am looking to get a Framework 16 this year. Of course, the experience would not be complete without Genode running natively on it. I was encouraged by Pirmin's report that Sculpt worked on his AMD system. Is anyone else interested in this laptop? Does anyone have any thoughts on running Sculpt on it (granted that we don't have the hardware yet)? Depot Package Discoverability: Several people have mentioned that it is difficult to discover which Sculpt depot packages are available, and from where. I am going to try to put a temporary solution in place for this, until someone develops something better. No promises on timing, but I want to bring the badly neglected "Genode Corner" [1] up to date, then add a front-end for listing / searching Depot packages. This will probably take the form of a daily process to pull in the depot indexes, add a search page, and maybe an RSS feed system. If anyone has any implementation advice or feature requests, please let me know. [1] https://www.alternateapproach.com/computing/genode/genode_corner/ Happy Sculpting! -- John J.
