A while ago, I started trying to get a chroot Debian environment set up on Gentoo, and ran into troubles. Hopefully I can get back to trying to set up some environment soon, my next guess was a Debian VM based on QEMU. I really don't want to base a VM on quasi commercial or fully commercial stuff, if it is possible to do so without them.
But, that isn't the topic. A while ago, I said I would help with rebuilding perl packages. Today, the keyring topic came up. I haven't had money to travel for quite a while, and I don't anticipate that changing any time soon. Some of us with autism are orthogonal to the hiring process, and I am likely in the process of trying to start a business starting in early summer 2015. If the only people you want building packages need to at some point need to travel to swap keys, I am limited to where I can drive to from NW Alberta. Part of what I need to set up soonish, is CNC abilities. LinuxCNC exists, although the preferred platform is a LTS *buntu. I want to work with amd64 CPUs, and it looks like having Arduino or BeagleBoard microcontrollers is the cheap way to interface EMC2/LinuxCNC to hardware. From how I interpret my readings, a person wants more than 2 cores on any computer used for CNC using Linux (1 for the OS, 1 for a cpu hog that does nothing, and 1 or more for doing applications). And among the readings was a project out of Virginia Tech called ChronoOS. It seems to have stalled, but they had looked at 16 and 48 core real-time scheduling. I haven't looked at any of the code for ChronOS, but instead of using the soft real-time patch that *buntu uses (and most people, and I am not sure it is the soft patch), the VirginiaTech group did use the hard real-time preempt patch. In any event, I may be able to come up with a Devuan to the two different real-time CNC worlds. Something to do when I get tired of trying to electronics again. Plumbing is sooo much easier to solder. Gord _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
