I asked Ariel, your box is on it's way. I hope the transport guys
hurry as I'm getting pretty close to a useable distribution. Appended
is a list of the RPMs which I'm currently using. They're mostly from
the RedHat 4.9 aka Mustang distribution. There are just a few things
left to fix to build the entire distribution:
- rpm just returns to the shell prompt after short time for some packages.
Haven't yet tried to figure out what's the problem.
- some packages containing shared libraries link them against libc. While
this is the right thing to do it will break with the binutils 2.7 we're
still using. Fix: finally upgrade to binutils 2.7.
- some other packages depend on the presence of X11 for at least building.
Among them for example tcsh. Should be fixed rsn as Miguel had some
X clients up.
- A couple of other packages contain real bugs, usually pretty trivial
things.
- yet other package don't build because they depend on other packages that
don't build, need to be ported to MIPS (Kaffee, eg.) or that are just
useless on a MIPS box like for example Lilo.
I'll start to upload the SRPM packages listed below plus little endian
binaries. All in all that's over 150mb, so don't hold the breath.
