Common official git for kobo dev

rekrek · 08-31-2013, 08:54 PM

Is there a common git for all kobo development that focuses on a complete replacement of the kobo system image ?

I see that lots of little tweek and patches are made on this site, but there don't seem to be cumulated to provide a complete solution. Also the kobolabs binary distribution system is a bit awkward.

I would suggest that we have an official git for this forum where every one can contribute their on effort.

Proposed format would be :
/config (build rules for different hw)
/kobohardware (kernel,uboot...)
/ports
__/app (python,gdb,strace...) (from other arm distributions?)
__/games
__/libs (qt/e...)
/example (and proof of concept little app)
/contrib (launcher, pickel, qt-fb, bookreader, temperature_screensaver...)
/binary (koboroot.tgz, sd.img) for end user

And in time provide a packaging mechanism (ipkg,opkg,deb?) for easy installation of additional packages.

Would some active members interested in maintaining it if none exist?

I think this is enough:

Sounds like a good idea, but I'm not active enough to maintain it myself.
