A package was submitted to savannah.nongnu.org
This mail was sent to address@hidden, address@hidden
Jerry Epplin <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License:
Package: Qplus
System name: qplus
Type: non-GNU
Description:
Qplus is a toolkit for embedding the Linux kernel and a set of user-space
programs into devices. It consists of:
- Target Builder -- a Python/wxWindows-based GUI used for configuring the
kernel and selecting and configuring packages to form the root filesystem.
Target Builder also transparently builds the kernel and root filesystem and
prepares them for deployment.
- A set of packages considered useful in embedded systems. These are standard
free software packages (e.g., busybox, glibc, among many others) packaged in a
way similar to RPM.
- A set of board support packages (BSPs), providing information specific to
each supported target embedded system.
Qplus is important as the first fully free (GPL\'d) toolkit advanced and usable
enough to compete with the proprietary toolkits from Lineo, MontaVista, and
others. With adequate project infrastructure it could meet a genuine and
growing free software need. The article at
http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT5640843706.html provides additional
information.
Qplus is already a complete and usable system. It can be downloaded from
ftp://pc3304a.etri.re.kr/pub/qplus.
Other Software Required:
wxWindows
Python
Works with Linux and a set of packages, all free.
CML2
GCC and other GNU tools
Other Comments:
Qplus was written by Woochul Kang and Heechul Yun of Korea\'s Electronics and
Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI). I\'m Jerry Epplin
(address@hidden). I haven\'t yet contributed code to Qplus, but hope to as
soon as project support can be arranged.
