Sort of feel like I'm talking to myself a bit, but I hope that this post will create some kind of verbal interaction...
As some of you know, those that have been tracking this project, we are coming along smartly in producing a Gentoo OS for the pandora that focuses on optimizations and configurability. This is not one of the 'official' distros so we rely on the same knowledge that all of you can grok from the forums. This also means that we don't have access to the default graphics, settings, and configs from the official OS(es).
The gentoo.pandora.devs are dedicated to participate in the community and do what we can to help support all of the many homebrew projects out there. Therefore I've made a quick list of things that we could use from you to incorporate into the default Gentoo Pandora OS releases. This is not all-enclusive so if you have any ideas beyond what is on this list, please let me hear from you so I can stop talking to myself.
[Graphics] (assume using fbdev and 800x480@24b)
- Boot Splash Theme/Image
- Console Theme
- XDM/GDM Login Theme
- Matchbox
> WM Theme
> GTK Theme
> Icon Set
> Cursor Set
[Programming/Projects]
- what languages/libraries do you need for your project?
- PXML file
- hardware/system support?
[Configs]
- You can see some of the configs we are using here.
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~gentoo-pandor...dora/main/files They are by no means complete and highly configured. As we come across something we update it. If you have some inputs please let us know.
[Hardware]
* We are using the default omap3_pandora_defconfig kernel config, there are a lot of interests on adding addition hardware/drivers. While we will happily like to make the kernel work for everything, we just don't have the manpower to make device XXXX work in the kernel. If you know how to, and would like to show us, please stop by the wiki and make a HOWTO!
[Emulators]
* Does emulator XXXX going to work with Gentoo Pandora? Depends. If it is supported by the official distro(s) then it will likely work on Gentoo Pandora. Please don't ask until we have the hardware.
