KIWI Image System
Submitted by Anonymous on Sat, 2007-04-14 02:46"The OpenSuSE KIWI Image System provides a complete operating system image solution for Linux supported hardware platforms as well as for virtualisation systems like Xen Qemu or VMware. The KIWI architecture was designed as a two level system. The first stage, based on a valid software package source, creates a so called physical extend according to the provided image description. The second stage creates from a required physical extend an operating system image. The result of the second stage is called a logical extend or short an image."
T2 SDE - System Development Environment
Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 2007-04-04 12:39With T2 SDE you can define targets for various purposes, ranging from embedded linux systems with a few MB of size over server configurations to a full desktop system featuring X.Org foundation, KDE, Gnome, OpenOffice.Org and many more. Those targets can be compiled for use on the most common architectures: Alpha, ARM, HPPA (incl. HPPA64), IA64, MIPS, PowerPC (incl. PowerPC-64), SPARC (incl. SPARC64), SuperH, x86 (incl. x86-64) - theoretically any GCC/Linux supported one.
T2 comes with many predefined targets (desktop, router, live CD ...) and over 2800 package descriptions. For more details T2 SDE - Overview.
The Build System
T2 features an automated build system which manages the whole compilation process including a possible installer CD creation. After initial creation of the build-tool chain, all packages are built inside a sandbox environment to monitor installed files and dependencies automatically. The build system can also modify the execution of various programs to provide a generic way to control compiler flags and file manipulations.
The T2 framework allows the creation of individual custom build target definitions and to customize any build aspect, as well as every single package built for it. Due to the nature of the clean source packages and its automatic build system, T2 is highly portable. Adding new architectures is easy and can be done within a day!
A quick introduction how to compile a target for your favorite architecture can be found here.
T2 - the possibilities are endless ...
The flexible T2 build environment, with the vanilla packaged built from source allows to realize your specific Linux and application ideas.

ADIOS Development Kit
Submitted by Anonymous on Mon, 2007-01-29 22:51"The Makefile is located at /adk on the CD file:///media/cdrom/adk. Here is a recent copy of the ADIOS version 6.0 Makefile. If you want to build your own boot CD please read this Makefile and edit it for your system. It assumes that you are using a kernel with squashfs support. You can copy the kernel from the ADIOS boot CD along with its modules and initial ramdisk by booting the CD first and copying the files you need from the directory /adios/boot or /media/cdrom/isolinux to your /boot and all of the /adios/lib/modules to your /lib/modules. You will also need to change your boot loader if you want to test the boot CD before you burn one.
Once you have successfully performed make devel you can then start removing RPMS and adding your preferred packages, assuming you have the RedHat Fedora Core distribution CDs."
