Jacco,
I have built a few extra packages that I found myself needing (e.g.
gnome terminal from gnome 3 is completely broken when used under KDE,
but mate terminal works great), and they are in /pub/el7-extra/. They
are technically EPEL packages (from Fedora), so if you could please
absorb them into your EPEL7 repository that would be most
appreciated.
And to reply to my own email - I fail. I completely missed the
EPEL-full repository under EL7. *facepalm*
There are still a few useful things in there, though, such as more
recent uboot-tools.
I recall looking at a newer uboot-tools (2015-01 I think), but it did
not generate a booting system, so I got back to the tried 2011 version.
We might want to do some testing before putting in a newer version.
The latest uboot, as shipped with recent Fedoras doesn't even _build_
on armv5tel (invalid assembly instructions). The reason why I built
the ones I mentioned was because I needed a more recent version to
uimage up a kernel for my Chromebook. I don't know whether the uboot
firmware payload itself works, but at least it builds (I only needed
mkimage).
I'm currently looking at porting zfs-dracut to zfs-fuse, and then
I'll try to build a blob containing the device tree, kernel and the
initrd to try to get zfs-fuse-rootfs working. The outcome of this will
hopefully be reasonably portable to other things using similar uboot
(e.g. do your machines use uboot? I seem to recall you said that
running them with initrd was somewhat... experimental).
