/me is also interested in sending the (1) phone to you. Would it also
be possible to perform the bass fix?

Thank you very much for your effort!

Freerunner freely runs Gentoo

2009-03-03 Thread Sven Rebhan
Hello everybody,

We the gen...@openmoko team are pleased to announce that we reached
our first milestone for running Gentoo on the Freerunner. This mean you can
cross- and natively compile a basic system including X, enlightenment,
the FSO framework, WLAN tools and many more packages. Also some
phone GUIs went already into the overlay located at

http://overlays.gentoo.org/embedded

To get started, please take a look at

http://gentoo.mindzoo.de

or visit us on the Freenode IRC channel #gentoo-openmoko. The goal of
our project is to provide a way to cross- and natively compile all
packages of the protage tree and feed back our fixes to the official
tree. Furthermore, we are going to provide Freerunner specific ebuilds
like for the FSO framework and different phone GUIs. What you can expect:

  - the Gentoo feeling ;-)
  - forget about version conflicts
  - frequent enlightenment updates
  - easy integration of new packages
(start writing ebuilds yourself, it's trivial!)
  - multiple phone stacks
  - CHOICE

So to all Gentoo lovers: Stop-by and get the experience the Gentoo
feeling on your phone!

Disclaimer: Even though we did a great step in the right direction,
there are still enough pitfalls, packages that don't compile and
difficulties in setting up the cross-compile environement. So at this
point in time Gentoo is _NOT_ ready for the average user. If you try
nevertheless, be prepared for a bumpy journey! You have been warned!

Best regards and happy compiling! ;-)

Sven, in the name of the gen...@openmoko team

 I'd like to contribute to wiki, are there some policy about it and
 bug/filing?

Hey nice! So far we have not yet decided on a policy about wiki edits
or bug filing. However, if you find something is wrong file a bug on
gentoo.mindzoo.de (even if you think it's trivial). If you want to
create new pages on the wiki you should join the #gentoo-openmoko IRC
channel on Freenode and ask there!

 Should information on wiki.openmoko.org redirect users to
 http://gentoo.mindzoo.de ?

I already does. ;-)

 I'm waiting for the NetBSD+pkgsrc annoucement :)

Isn't it possible to run Gentoo with a BSD kernel!? :-P

/me runs and hides

Re: Dialup On Demand (was: [SHR] Miscellanious minor issues)

2009-01-30 Thread Sven Rebhan
2009/1/30 Michael 'Mickey' Lauer mic...@openmoko.org:
 Indeed. I think this is a very old feature, I remember the good old days of
 dial-up networking using pppoe. There we had something like a connection
 dialog that popped up on demand, which is what we want as well on mobile
 devices.

 Does anyone remember which kernel infastructure this on-demand dialling used?

IIRC pppoe (and dialup in general) used the ppp on demand stucture. That is, put
something like:

demand
idle 300

into your /etc/ppp/options file and the dialup will start as soon as
someone accesses
the ppp0 device. After 300s of inactivity, the connection is killed.
