I understand that patching the panda image is a hack and not a proper
compose, but just getting all the a10 stuff to work is enough work
without also adding real distro-composing into the picture.
Are you packaging the kernel as an RPM?
Currently no, I'm cross-compiling directly from git. I've already
discussed coordinating my work with Fu Wei and part of the plan
is for him to eventually turn my work into a proper rpm.
If so, what kernel version are you basing on?
I'm currently contributing to, and basing my work on
the sunxi-3.4 branch of:
https://github.com/linux-sunxi/linux-sunxi
Very good. I believe that is the same branch Fu Wei is using. He
already has this building natively and has a good start on packaging
this as an RPM.
As mentioned before, Fu Wei has done some work on the A10 kernel as
well, so maybe you could coordinate efforts.
Also, if you have the kernel package in a yum repository, we should
be able to generate images relatively easily using livemedia-creator
and a kickstart. The only 'trick' would be getting the U-Boot
configuration set up correctly. I could help set up the kickstart
file, if you provide the U-Boot configuration information, and would
like to pursue that.
I agree kickstart is the way to go in the semi-long run. For now
I just want to get something out there, without just dropping an
img file no-one can reproduce. Having something out there will
also make discussing this easier, as then you will see that
the A10 is special in some respects ...
Sounds like a plan. I'll look at the image once you make it public.
Thank you,
