[Aakash-hackers] Cross compiler for Debian and Boxer scripts for Aakash

[Vasudev Kamath]

Hi all,

Just a minor update, its been a while and I've not tried Aakash due to
some personal work but today got some time to play again with boxer [1]
and here is what I did

* I added xorg and firmware-realtek from non-free to AAKASH
  package_config scripts in tweaks.
* I merged aakash related changes back to the master and deleted aakash
  specific brances as per Jonas's suggestion
* I was able to successfully build rootfs for Aakash using Debian
  unstable.

At the moment I've cloned u-boot and linux from sunxi github account but
didn't get a proper cross compiler working on Debian using multi-arch, I
will talk with emdebian guys and cross-toolchain guy to get my gcc-4.8
multi-arch cross compiler working by next week and try building kernel.

Srikant I've some specific question on realtek drivers, I saw in your
documentation you mention downloading these realtek driver from 3rd
party site, but this same driver is provided by *firmware-realtek* did
you try this driver package? is there specific reason to download it
From 3rd party site?

Also I've forked the documentation repo from github I intend to improve
it as and when I get things working I will send in PR.

Cheers,
