At the moment there isn't much but I know the Seneca are currently
working on a tool to do this. Maybe they can come and discuss it on
the list (hint hint!).
I mentioned styrene already, and they're going to :) I'm just impatient
(joke), or rather, keen that we all share what we do have/know so that
we can build up a variety of useful data ahead of Friday's hackathon.
One of the guys here (DJ) who did a minimally bootable F15 hardfp image
already (but only containing a small number of cross-built packages and
a static dev) has some things that will be posted on the list soon too
to help. Anyone else who has any useful bootstrap data, please share.
Jon.
