[opensuse-buildservice] How to do an in-house top-level build of OpenSUSE?
Hello, I'm strongly considering attempting a build of OpenSUSE for an architecture it does not support yet. I have other Linuxes such as Debian and Gentoo running on this hardware, but not OpenSUSE. There was a similar thread last month regarding SPARC. There's the usual bootstrapping issues to work through (I think I can handle those) - but, where should I look for the scripts/programs to drive the top-level configure and build of a distribution? I've found the BuildServer under svn - but it's not clear to me if that's the right tool for this, or if it's overkill or ??? (or if it contains the distribution configuration info). Any thoughts or pointers would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, Mark

what architecture would that be?

build is doing the actual build job see http://software.opensuse.org/download/openSUSE:/Tools/ the scheduler is not opensource yet. do you want to add gentoo support? darix -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

MIPS. Probably o32 to begin with, but progressing to n32 and/or n64.

Thanks - I'll start there.
do you want to add gentoo support?
Well, Gentoo is already up and running on the board(s) I care about. What I'm really interested in is getting OpenSUSE up on the boards - probably using Gentoo or Debian as a bootstrap system.

Isn't then MicroSUSE something for you? http://en.opensuse.org/MicroSUSE It already supports MIPS. Bernhard -- "Feature freeze means that everyone has a bad feeling when they change something, almost nothing more." -- Stephan Kulow
