I didn't yet touch T2 deeper than adding it to my bookmarks, but what I dislike in OpenWRT is that if you need to build a new target, you have to patch a ton of Makefiles, with the risk that your patches will never be accepted.
What would be really cool, is a system that lets you customize every aspect of building the system, without having to change the distributive files. Then your local changes would be clearly separated from the files that came from the upstream, so that the next "svn up" would not break your work. ----- Original Message ---- > From: Rod Whitby <r...@whitby.id.au> > To: openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org > Sent: Thursday, January 8, 2009 10:07:00 PM > Subject: Re: [OpenWrt-Devel] OpenWrt development process > > The OpenWrt build system is designed by someone who loves Makefiles. > The OpenEmbedded build system is designed by someone who despises Makefiles. > T2 seems to be run by someone who despises other open source projects (read > the > website to make your own judgement). > You'll never be able to merge any of them due to the people, not the > technology. > (I use and develop for both OpenWrt and OpenEmbedded) > -- Rod > > -----Original Message----- > From: Stanislav Sinyagin > Date: Friday, Jan 9, 2009 1:18 am > Subject: Re: [OpenWrt-Devel] OpenWrt development process > To: OpenWrt Development List Reply-To: OpenWrt > Development List > > Speaking of distributions, T2 is also worth looking at: > >http://www.t2-project.org/ > >I was going to spend some time in learning it deeper, but the Christmas > holidays appeared to be too short :) > > > > > > > > > >----- Original Message ---- > > From: Jose Vasconcellos > > I think this topic merits additional discussion.
