| Hi Andy,

Modify it and repackage.  What I really want to do is actually host it
on git so I can work on it, and point the bb file to build against a
stable branch of it from git.  But before I can even put it in git or do
any work on it, I have to be able to even build it.

| Everyone here has simliar setup and they actually use it everyday.  I

Yes I see it is so how did they arrive at this setup from a standing
start is the mystery.

| will just write what works for us right now.  Remove the fedora
| bitbake.  Ignore the libts-dev (It's on buildhost, what do you mean by
| "I don't know which one"?) at least for now.

(I mean talking about /directory/... on a remote server without
mentioning the URL is assuming a little bit.)

| You can find everything I wrote here on
|
| https://wiki.internal.openmoko.org/wiki/Internal_Development_Environment

I went and examined it earlier, it refers to magic makefiles, monotone,
it is the middle of something not the start of it.  I also went and
looked up earlier --->>

| First of all the easiest way to setup the environment is MokoMakefile.
|
| http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Mokomakefile

And this did seem like it was the start of something.  But I was unsure
if I build do the whole 12G / 5 hour odessy or what.

| For the impatient:
|
| basically you just need to

| mkdir ~/moko
| cd ~/moko
| wget http://svn.projects.openmoko.org/svnroot/mokomakefile/trunk/Makefile
...

OK now this is the kind of thing I can use, I will give it a go: thanks
for taking the time to write it up -- either you or me should write it
up in the public Wiki if it works out.

How I capture the built tree or decide what to put in git I dunno but it
seems I can try to move on.

| Since it's a public list here I would like to add:

| The internal OE overlay is for NDA stuff such as production testing

| fuss is part of it.

Yep for me it means I get to spectate on what it is like to approach
this build system from cold, as would a new developer: since I never
used it before.
