Re: [linuxsh-dev] Various tool patches - should the be put on sourceforge?

[Stuart M. <Stu...@st...>]

Folks

I agree we need to do something about this. At the moment everybody
is building their own tools, making the necessary configuration and
Makefile changes themselves. Some people are kindly making their
patches available, but it a hassle finding the origional files, making
the patches, and working out how to build it.

I've got an engineer starting here next week who has been earmarked for
Linux. What I was planning to ask him to do was put together a set of
SRPM's for common tools, suitable for cross compilation. I was thinking
of using the MontaVista HardHat Linux distribution as a starting
point, as this has already addressed the cross compilation problem, and
is a reasonably distribution.

Obviously we'd make these SRPMs (and RPMs?) available via SourceForge.
For things like this I'm assuming we don't want to add the source to 
CVS, as the number of changes should be small and contained, but I'm
open to suggestions.

What do you think? Is this worth doing? If so I'd welcome any patches
people already have, and we'll start the production line next week.

Cheers

Stuart
