Hi,
Would it help if we bought some Sheevaplugs, put them online as koji builders and gave access to Fedora developers? That sounds like something we could do.
Thanks for the offer, but not sure it would help: GlobalScale is backlogged on the production of both SheevaPlugs and GuruPlugs, so I doubt a new order would arrive any earlier than the 20 units already coming -- plus the local builders are connected directly to the hub by GigE. (Update today: GlobalScale says the plugs will ship the last week of June).
I told our Marvell contact about this this morning, and he immediately drove over to us to drop off a loan of three SheevaPlugs and a GuruPlug; we can put them online behind Gig-E on MIT's network and give out access if it'll help tide things over until your units show up. (Kudos to Marvell for the fast loan!)
We used qemu-system-arm to do initial feasibility testing last semester. On a decent Intel box, it runs at about 10% of the speed of a Sheeva/Guru when executing build tasks.
*nod* That's a shame.
Perfect, thanks! Looks like there are a few dozen packages you use that are missing in F12 ARM.
Ah, do you have the diff to look over?
Thanks,
- Chris.
