Talk:Test Openmoko Emulation with chroot image
From Openmoko
(JoSch) It took me several hours to run the openmoko makefile on my AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ so it would be nice to have the complete environment without having to compile the whole stuff BUT
- wouldn'd it also costs hours to unpack such a big archive with so much files?
- where should such a big file be hosted permanently with the necessary download speed and transfer volume?
- isn't it 'unfair' to choose just one distribution for the chroot environment instead of supplying a guide how everyone could set up their own?
- so wouldn't it be cleaner to just supply a compressed version of the openmoko build environment and the distribution specific files are suppplied by the user?
- isn't it hard to maintain such a giant file over the time and support errors the users have with it?
- wouldn't everyone still use the makefile because the files downloaded by it should generally be newer than the files in your archive?
