| 5 <p><a href=downloads/firmware-0.3.0.tar.bz2>Version 0.3.0</a> is out | |
| 6 (changeset 242), with kernel 2.6.23. PowerPC finally works under | |
| 7 qemu (network and everything), and it's building a m68k target | |
| 8 (although I have no emulator to run that). That means there are | |
| 9 ten targets, of which eight run under qemu. (Sparc is still | |
| 10 broken, let me know if anybody actually cares.)</p> | |
| 11 | |
| 12 <p>The new "./forkbomb.sh --fork" script builds all the targets in | |
| 13 parallel, or use --nofork if you haven't got the memory for that | |
| 14 (and --watch to watch and existing build if you ctrl-c out of | |
| 15 the display before it's done).</p> | |
| 16 | |
| 17 <p>The build is now smarter about extracting only one copy of the | |
| 18 source code (in build/sources) and re-using it for multiple builds, | |
| 19 building out of tree (via cp -rs to create a tree full of symlinks | |
| 20 so the package doesn't need native out-of-tree support).</p> | |
