Welcome to the Sugar on the BeagleBoard project. It seems that we have

all of the pieces in place to do a port.

Very good. Thank you.

I assume that OE is intended to be all Free Software

OE is 'merely' a buildsystem (something like gentoos portage or GNOMEs jhbuild) and its metadata is MIT licensed.

, and I see
scattered references to GPL 2 in the Wiki, but I don't see a clear
statement on licensing on the main page or in the FAQ. Can somebody
write one?

I'm unsure what is needed beyond the COPYING.MIT in topdir of the repository. The licensing of your buildsystem should have no bearing on the resulting distribution.

Also, one or more architecture pages showing the toolchain,
relationships with other Free Software projects, and the structure of
the resulting builds?

As a buildsystem OE has relationships with the interpreter used (bitbake, hosted at berlios) and it's users (angstrom, nslu2-linux, openmoko, etc). I suspect you are confusing OE with a distribution (which angstrom is), it is not a distro, it's a distro builder :) If you aren't confusing it, please elaborate on what you want to know so we can send the doc team to fix it.

First, some background.


using the Open Embedded[3] toolkit.

The initial port will be getting Sugar[1] to run on the Beagleboard[2]

sugar-artwork) are now running on the beagleboard:

http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/sugar-running-ångström

To build it using OE: 'bitbake sugar'
To install it in angstrom*: 'opkg install sugar'


(haven't looked at that either).
The Fructose pack is completely missing in OE.

The remaining tasks for people wanting to work on this are:

1) add OE recipes for needed python-modules
2) add OE recipes for remaining Glucose items
3) add OE recipes for Fructose items
4) build it

python modules, goto 1
6) make screenshots :)

regards,

Koen

* only has armv7a packages at the moment

The basics (sugar, sugar-base, sugar-toolkit, sugar-presence- services and The Glucose pack is missing sugar-datastore (needs a lot of python modules that aren't in OE yet), etoys (haven't looked at that yet) and journal 5) install resulting packages and run them, see them crash due to missing
