Well one Lemote Fuloong 2F system has already been given away, and the new owner has been asked to try and find out about them. Some of you may be aware of some Lemote related resources on my devspace. I’ll try to get some Fuloong 2F stuff up there, but I’m flying blind as I [...]

Well, here I am. Just registered and watching the stream flowing into the rego desk. It’s not a queue, it’s the whole alphabet. The only queue I’ve seen longer recently was the one to the checkout at the local shopping centre just before the flood peak. Journey between The Gap and Kelvin Grove along Waterworks [...]
Well, that pretty much explains me the last few days. Haven’t really done much planning, just been taking it one day at a time. Ironically, it’s exactly what I recall seeing as the theme for linux.conf.au this year. The very same year that the Brisbane and Bremer rivers decided to get out of bed and [...]
Recently, a new version of binutils was released. I had reported earlier about some patches needed to work around errata bugs in the Loongson CPUs. There were also some other big updates since. GCC 4.5 and Perl 5.12 have both been unmasked, enough has changed to warrant a rebuild before things get too far out [...]
Well, binutils-2.21 has been released. Amongst the changes were some fixes for Loongson 2E and 2F systems, and a whole host of MIPS related commits. I tried experimenting with one of the binutils CVS releases, and had good success building Qt and the KDE desktop on the Yeeloong. I still have issues with JavaScript in [...]
32-bit Gentoo/MIPS stages for both big and little endian systems are now available for MIPS-I, MIPS-III and MIPS-IV. For now I’ve got these on my devspace, but I hope to get some of them out to mirrors as soon as possible. I’d appreciate any feedback on this release. http://dev.gentoo.org/~redhatter/mips/sgi/stages/ — Big-endian systems http://dev.gentoo.org/~redhatter/mips/cobalt/stages/ — Little-endian [...]
Hi all, I’m in the process of registering for LCA2011… since it’s in my home town, I figure I may as well show up. This will be the first LCA that I’ve attended, last one I was looking at going to was the one in Sydney a few years back … however at the time [...]
Hi all, The O32 stage builds for little-endian MIPS systems are now complete, and you will find the stages on my devspace for now at http://dev.gentoo.org/~redhatter/mips/cobalt/stages/. There you will find stages for: MIPS-I: Suitable for all little-endian MIPS hardware MIPS-III: Best for Loongson-based hardware MIPS-IV: Best for Cobalt Qube2 and RaQ2… Possibly the earlier Qube/RaQ [...]
Hi all… It’s been a long time since I took over the maintenance of svxlink in Gentoo, and to be frank, I’ve done basically nothing with it because for the most part, it worked. Much development has gone on upstream, however no newer releases have been made, the only way to get the latest stuff [...]
Hi all… After a long wait, Gentoo/MIPS is on the comeback trail. Okay, I’ll stick my hand up and admit I did a bit of carnage by pulling keywords on vim-7.0 (which might’ve worked with older releases but did not work on this latest release) however we’ll soon have that cleaned up. We’re still in [...]
