<fossy_>jackdk: indeed, there is the 32-bit problem, and there is also the problem that it uses some non-standard package choices (see https://git.sr.ht/~mcf/oasis#software), a lot of which you will need sooner or later if you want to built anything super interesting

<fossy_>don't get me wrong, i like it a lot

<fossy_>but it's probably not the right choice for live-bootstrap, although i can imagine a live-bootstrap style thing that targets oasis

<fossy_>or an extension to live-bootstrap that does so

<fossy_>also, they don't really make an attempt to provide a toolchain as part of it, and they are not very focused on pregenerated files as we are

<fossy_>but i do applaud them for not using packaged build systems :D

<jackdk>Yeah I was thinking as a potentially maintained intermediate step between fiwix and the final GNU/Linux setup you actually want to run

<siraben>Does anyone know where oriansj is?

<matrix_bridge><Jeremiah Orians> In Michigan, being completely hammered by work…

<siraben>Ah, on matrix, heh. I just logged into IRC for the first time after many years

<matrix_bridge><Jeremiah Orians> I would also be on IRC too if things were not so insane

<matrix_bridge><Jeremiah Orians> Literally have not had a single day off in more than 2 months

<siraben>damn

<aggi>jackdk: for that matter the configurator/steps system-integration from live-bootstrap is a decent build/packaging system itself

<aggi>i was/am working on a full system re-integration for the tinycc-toolchain driven system which was completely detangled from from gcc/binutils already

<aggi>otherwise, yes, this is alot of work to be done still

<aggi>lately i got stuck at integrating cdrdtools compiled by tinycc into https://codeberg.org/aggi/tiny-bootstrap

<aggi>in the meantime i've ported and successfully tested a yet unsupported cheapo AMD FM2 mainboard for coreboot/seabios platform initialization

<aggi>already succeeded to compile all/most coreboot host-utilities with i386-tcc for this, and patched coreboot for compilation with gcc-4.7

<aggi>i was thinking even, maybe linux-tcc kernel, busybox and tinycc can be shipped as coreboot payload - not sure if it's worth the effort

<aggi>because there's a gigantic circular dependency with coreboot/seabios with regards to bootstrapping remaining anyway
