Hello, I run a custom kernel from handhelds for the rx3000 (armv4) and
use the angstrom feeds for ipkg updates.
Hooray - everything works pretty well and we are considering bringing
the rx3000 sources over to the angstrom distros, once we have a platform
mentor.
My question is how does angstrom distribution prioritize the packages it
includes in the feeds?
For example I see there is wxWidgets has recently been added, when, then
could I expect wxPython (python bindings) or perl bindings for example.
Another package I would like to try is minisip, a sip based VOIP
package. There was a build provided for the familiar distribution (also
ipk). I have contacted the mailing list of that project, but I don't
understand where the cooperation is from source maintainer and package
maintainer?
Could there be some information on the distros site about how the
packages are selected and what cooperation is required or how this
generally works? Most projects I have worked on have a drop and run
procedure, is it the same in open source too?
Could there be a "suggest a package" on the wiki or feed browser about
suggesting a package for the feeds. or is the Mailing list the best
place for it.
I also find it really difficult to get information about writing ipks
for a given source package. Are there any links to how this package
format works?
Thanks for reading this and considering your response.
