[Maxlinux-devel] More Gestation progress

[Kelledin <kel...@sk...>]

Again, Gestation has gone through an update.  I finally got a 
current Gestation snapshot installed as my main desktop.  There 
were some wrinkles to work out, but thankfully, all known 
wrinkles have been worked out.  Current Gestation is now very 
usable.

On my system (T-bird 1.33GHz), a Gestation snapshot generally 
takes about 32 hours for a first-time build.  After accumulating 
compiler cache in a first-time build, successive rebuilds take 
about 18 hours.  At this rate, it should be easy to dedicate a 
relatively inexpensive single-CPU host to do daily Gestation x86 
builds.  I'll look into this and see what can be had.

Building Gestation on my Alpha (decrepit old 600MHz 
LX164)...well...that takes a little longer. :/  I won't have 
accurate timing results for a while, and due to lack of hardware 
on my Alpha, I won't be able to test Gestation on Alpha quite as 
much as I'd like.  Getting an Alpha with sufficient horsepower 
for daily Gestation builds probably isn't going to be cheap, so 
unless someone spots a VERY good deal, we should probably forget 
about that for now.

Terry, I hate to be a nag, but how is ftp.inceptionos.org coming 
along?  It would be nice to get Gestation out there for the 
public to play with... ;)

I'm chasing it up at the moment, but it seems it may take another week
or two.

I'll let you guys now the moment it's running.

There's lots of people will help you with the alcohol business, but there's
no one out there arranging little meetings where you can stand up and say,
'My name's Sam and I'm a really suspicious bastard.'"

Kelledin,

I know the public would want to place with it, but the problem is only
the really die-hard Linux users will want to build InceptionOS from
scratch...we need an installer which Enrico was working on but as I've
said before and I'll say it again he's disappeared and not responding to
emails at all; so we need to find someone to work on the installer and
I've still had no replies to my ad on SF about it either.

Michael
