| NCommander | lamont, you around? | 14:52 |
|---|---|---|
| lamont | yeah | 14:52 |
| NCommander | lamont, question, what does it take to get a new port of Ubuntu off the ground so the speak | 14:52 |
| NCommander | (in an official way) | 14:52 |
| lamont | hardware for the DC, and a working bootstrap world, plus people working on it | 14:53 |
| lamont | at a minimum | 14:53 |
| NCommander | lamont, see PM :-) | 14:55 |
| jbailey | NCommander, Awww. You're not gonna share? | 19:40 |
| jbailey | lamont, You forgot the critical bits of overcoming James' hatred for the port and convincing kernel + toolchain people that you're not a muppet. | 19:41 |
| lamont | jbailey: that was encapsulated in the "at a minimum" :-p | 19:43 |
| jbailey | lamont, You left out the hardest part. | 19:44 |
| jbailey | Otherwise we'd have m68k already, wouldn't we? =) | 19:44 |
| lamont | as for the kernel/toolchain, the port must provide a responsible muppet^Wporter of sufficient competence to at least get James back to neutral from hating the port for the drain that it is otherwise. | 19:44 |
| lamont | also, the port needs to be to a point where it reliably runs, even when building gcc and glibc (and openoffice/java??) | 19:45 |
| jbailey | I was more thinking that you probably want commit access to the kernel and the toolchain. | 19:45 |
| jbailey | Yeah, Java's pretty standard these days. | 19:45 |
| jbailey | You have a pile of VMs to port if they don't work: Python, Java, Mono, Guile. | 19:45 |
| jbailey | They're all in main these days. | 19:46 |
