That's why I proposed this for a small targeted project.

A simple QA review of the entire portage tree, fixing any trivial QA concern
like missing headers inclusion, missing -fno-strict-aliasing wherever there are
bad programming practices and so on; pushing upstream whatever is just more
complicate that including an header or adding a CFLAG.

I can confirm we have people with 56k dial up :-) Checking out portage every day
for a developer on 56k takes already a lot of time using cvs. If I had to check
out the whole history every day I'd never become a gentoo developer.

I agree.

Re: [gentoo-dev] Re: RFC - new category dev-tos

2006-01-23 Thread sanchan
The new category dev-tinyos is now in portage. If somebody is interested in
having all the ebuilds related to TinyOS in portage, please feel free to follow
bug# 78908 and its bloker bugs.
Actually I'm focusing on bug #98662 and #101663, the ebuilds for these 2 bugs
doesn't satisfy me, any idea on how to manage these 2 ebuilds is welcome.

And it is easier to add in rsync_exclude if you don't want it...
But it seems that there is no much consensus for the new category.
Tomorrow I've planned the final tests on tos-1.1.15 and nesc-1.2.1 that will be
added to dev-embedded if today nobody else vote for dev-tinyos.

Actually proposed name for the category:

dev-tos: original proposed name

dev-tinyos: better than dev-tos, and still shorter than dev-embedded ;-)

dev-embedded: leave the 20 ebuilds in dev-embedded or try to fit them in other
existing categories (maybe some packages can be moved to

sys-tos or sys-tinyos: in order to go with sys-fbsd

dev-toyos or dev-alternateos: in order to allow minix and co. to be placed here.

Personally I prefer to keep TinyOS related ebuild in the same category. Having
tossim and tinyviz (the emulator) in app-emulation, and all the sub library
needed by tinyviz in dev-java may be confusing for tinyos users.
But it can be done.
TinyOS tarball includes lots of apps. Shipping them splitted in a lot of ebuilds
may be proibitive without a dedicated category. But I can choose to ship them in
a single ebuild, move the ebuilds into existing categories and get rid of
dev-tinyos.

The only reason is that until yesterday TinyOS was targeted for dev-embedded.
TinyOS is a small operating system for embedded sensors, it's very different
from linux or fbsd.

TinyOS is an open-source operating system designed for wireless embedded sensor
networks. It features a component-based architecture which enables rapid
innovation and implementation while minimizing code size as required by the
severe memory constraints inherent in sensor networks. TinyOS's component
library  includes network protocols, distributed services, sensor drivers, and
data acquisition tools – all of which can be used as-is or be further refined
for a custom application. TinyOS's event-driven execution model enables
fine-grained power management yet allows the scheduling flexibility made
necessary by the unpredictable nature of wireless communication and physical
world interfaces.

TinyOS has been ported to over a dozen platforms and numerous sensor boards. A
wide community uses it in simulation to develop and test various algorithms and
protocols. New releases see over 10,000 downloads. Over 500 research groups and
companies are using TinyOS on the Berkeley/Crossbow Motes. Numerous groups are
actively contributing code to the sourceforge site and working together to
establish standard, interoperable network services built from a base of direct
experience and honed through competitive analysis in an open environment.

[gentoo-dev] RFC - new category dev-tos

2006-01-14 Thread sanchan
Hi all, I'm working on TinyOS related ebuilds (Bug #78908) and since actually 
there are 20 ebuilds in my overlay may be worth proposing a dev-tos category.
It will take a few weeks in order to have all the ebuilds updated for the new 
release of tinyos, have them reviewed by peer an committed to the tree, but it's 
a lot easier to make a category early rather than moving stuff.
