 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!


Is there a mailing-list for gentoo on freerunner discussions too? the one on
lists.projects.openmoko.org seems to be died.

Regards

   Nicola

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

 /me runs and hides

It's even officially supported:
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gentoo-alt/bsd/fbsd/
However, I wouldn't expect the FreeBSD kernel to support the Neo's
hardware good enough.

Everyone knows to use Darwin Kernel and build a Mac like interface on 
it, oh sorry that's the iPhone...

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

I have started to mess with GNU/Linux with Gentoo, then I acomodate
myself to Debian and Ubuntu but Gentoo  always had place in my
heart... I will give it a try as soon as I can.
Really awesome and brave work guys.

 Yay! My all-time favorite distro on my all-time favorite platform. You
 people rock!

 I will be testing it certainly.
