OpenFSG

Thanks to the donation of a couple of FSG-3 devices from Freecom, the NSLU2-Linux Optware project is now in a position to create an official Optware feed for the FSG-3 (to go alongside the feeds for the Linksys NSLU2, Synology DS101, Linksys WRT54G, Asus WL500g, and the Maxtor Shared Storage device).

You can track the progress of this via our Subversion repository at http://svn.nslu2-linux.org/svnroot/optware/trunk/ (see the nslu2-linux wiki for details on how to build Optware packages from that repository if you want to help out with this effort).

In particular, we're starting with an fsg3-bootstrap.xsh script (just like we did for the ds101-bootstrap.xsh script which some of you have used already for the fsg3), and you can find the initial untested build recipe for this at http://trac.nslu2-linux.org/optware/bro ... otstrap.mk

I'm looking for knowledgable fsg3 developers to review and help test that build script and the resulting fsg3-bootstrap.xsh script.

I'm also looking for fsg3 developers who have already built their own ipkgs to join the optware development team and contribute directly to the official fsg-3 optware package distribution. Contact me privately if you are interested. My hope would be to bring all the existing ipkgs under the one feed, and give those developers the repository write access needed to do their development directly in the optware source repository, so that the official feeds are automatically built and updated from their changes.

A while ago I extracted and heavily modified your bootstrap script then repackaged it specifically for the FSG.

It's avaliable at
http://www.openfsg.com/index.php/Use_th ... _Installer

I can email you the install scripts if you want... send me a PM with your email address.

Let's work together on the final script. My eventual goal is to convince Freecom to put all this in the official firmware.

I've PM'd you so you can get write access to the Optware repository.
