August 11, 2009 Spam flood counter measures.
Due to the massive spam problem we faced during the last few weeks we are forced to take some counter measures. For now we removed the registration button and form from our site, deleted the remaining spam accounts and the wiki spam pages, so we are back to a sane site. However, removing the registration has the drawback that new users can
not register themselves to the site and thus not add or modify new wiki pages, tickets or patches.
New users, please send an email to admin _at_ gentoo.mindzoo.de containing at least your username and we will add the user for you.
Hopefully, we can get the registration back with some spam account prevention soon.
Jun 16, 2009 The Gentoo Openmoko Team proudly announces Milestone3!
Better late then never... :-) We are happy to announce that milestone 3 is completed. Perl has been shifted once again, as we still have no perl hacker in the team... If you can help there, feel free to contact us!
In milestone 3 there are alot of small fixes and some cleanup of the overlay. The probably most relevant news is a fix for python-2.6 (thx to max_posedon) and a ncurses fix. In the next release, the focus is on shrinking the overlay further and make Xorg rock stable! Have fun and watch out for bugs as usual! ;-)
May 11, 2009 Ncurses-5.7 fixed. Please reemerge.
Please reemerge ncurses on
both HOST and TARGET to fix packages linking against ncurses! A patch for linking problems was added in revision
r408. To get all the goodies remerge ncurses on host and target doing:
emerge ncurses
emerge-armv4tl-softfloat-linux-gnueabi ncurses
As usual: Please report all problems to our bugtracking system!
May 03, 2009 Python-2.6.2 fixed for cross compilation.
Python-2.6.2 was fixed by max_posedon to cross-compile fine. Testers are very welcome, both native and cross-compile testers. First
unmask the package on host and target. Then emerge the package to your host:
emerge -u python
python-updater
Afterwards, emerge python to your target:
emerge-armv4tl-softfloat-linux-gnueabi -u python
Please report all problems to our bugtracking system!
