 |
|
Hello all,
since sakaki announced the EOL of her github repository, i'm a bit confused about howto use the forks
| Code: |
https://github.com/GenPi64
|
my repos.conf:
| Code: |
[genpi64]
location = /var/db/repos/genpi64
sync-type = git
sync-uri = https://github.com/GenPi64/genpi64-overlay.git
priority = 100
auto-sync = yes
clone-depth = 1
sync-depth = 1
sync-git-clone-extra-opts = --single-branch --branch master
|
| Code: |
[genpi-tools]
location = /var/db/repos/sakaki-tools
sync-type = git
sync-uri = https://github.com/GenPi64/sakaki-tools.git
priority = 50
auto-sync = yes
clone-depth = 1
sync-depth = 1
#commit-hash = HEAD
#clone-date = 2021-01-0
|
At
| Code: |
https://github.com/GenPi64/genpi64-overlay
|
I can find a package called
| Code: | | dev-embedded/rpi4-eeprom-updater |
| Code: |
equery list -fpo ".*dev-embedded/rpi4-eeprom-updater.*"
|
claims it is not in the tree.
What am I doing wrong ? Are my repos.conf-files faulty ?
Have fun,
blubberbaer |

blubberbaer,
It looks like you want
| Code: | $ eix eeprom
* dev-embedded/rpi-eeprom
Available versions: *11.0_p1 ~*12.5_p1 {PYTHON_TARGETS="python3_8 python3_9"}
Homepage: https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-eeprom/
Description: Updater for Raspberry Pi 4 bootloader and the VL805 USB controller |
Do not use Sakaki's overlay nor my fork of it. The sole point of my fork was to gets as much of Sakaki's work into ::gentoo as possible. There were some name changes to make that hapen.
First of all, try without any overlays and see what breaks. Then look for overlays if you must.
Its always good to ask here or in #gentoo-arm on LIbera IRC. #gentoo-arm requires that you register your nick to be able to speak.
Raspberry Pi supporters are still interested in adding keywods if you spot something missing.

NeddySeagoon, what is the state of the things then? All of sakaki's work moved to main tree then or not? It's quite difficult to assess these things after so much time passed.
I'm using 64-bit ::gentoo on my rpi4 and everything apart from GPU acceleration is in a good shape, and GPU is a different topic. |

istitov,
Welcome to Gentoo.
I haven't done anything on my fork of Sakakis overlay sine Jan or Feb this year.
I did delete everything (its git so so you can get it back) that was not in the ::gentoo repo at that time.
Some things were just removed as they needed source code updates from the original upstream project.
The upstreams we dead, so needed to be forked and cared for. My commit messages should show that.
My fork is 77 commits ahead of Sakakis genpi64. The removals will be because things went into ::gentoo or were dead.
What's left in my fork may not be upstreamed.
There were several of us upstreaming Sakakis stuff after Sakaki retired.
I keep my binhost up to date. The stuff there is all build for Pi4 on an 8 core armv8a server.
If its there, it builds. Its mostly a key wording host, so my USE flags may not match the ones you want.
About the only thing I know of that still won't build is newer ffmpeg with Raspberry Pi4 hardware acceleration.
Sakakis patch set does not apply and I couldn't get the OpenELEC patches to apply either.
That's a big performance loss as its hardmare video decoding.
Still, nights are getting longer. Maybe I'll try again over the winter.

Thank you! Feels a bit strange as I'm posting smth on a forum for the first time while using Gentoo for 15+ years .

I'll definitely take a look!

Thanks! Most of the things I compile on Pi4 itself, it is quite fast especially with a bit of overclocking. And for the older models I have a cross-compilation and qemu stuff.

Yeah, that's my main concern with Pi4 now. Some time ago the 64-bit mmal support was dropped in userspace and now I'm looking if I can revert it and try it out. Git makes it possible, but not easier. |

istitov,
Its worth joining #gentoo-arm on irc.libera.chat.
You need to register your nick to speak.
There are more Pi4 supporters there than on the forums.
