How to build WoofV?

Post by williwaw »

from the blog....

WoofV is a very ambitious project; anyhow, I have made a start. Have written a script that creates the skeleton drive-image file that will become 'easy-<version>-<architecture>.img'. This has two partitions, by default a 7MiB esp and a 880MiB ext4. Script is here:
https://github.com/bkauler/woofq/blob/m ... el-drv-img

how would someone get started building with woofV?
theres a spare desktop running, doing little besides being a music server.
If I wanted to build an easyvoid, what OS should I best boot to run the build scripts?

It is early days, woofV is not yet functional.

If or when I release easyVoid with a functional /usr/local/woofV, it will be announced, with instructions.

This woofV project is still uncertain, depends if i can overcome some hurdles.

Anseering another question you asked, yes it is intended that xbps package management will work in the running easyVoid. That is one of the main points of the exercise

so petget will still retain its normal functions with pets etc., and also become a front end for xbps?

Yes, that is the plan.

I must emphasize that this is all very much a work-in-progress, and might not even work properly.
The to-do list is so big, perhaps it will be ready in about a month.
