As part of the Mer bootstrapping process, a repository at http://repository.maemo.org/community/ will have to be set up.

== Repository layout ==

*Suite: unstable
*Codename: amoeba
*Components: main
*Architectures: i386 armel (all)

(later we will have a stable distribution, and a similar promotion interface to extras one will be used)

== Upload possibilities ==

*Similar interface as to uploading to i386 & armel builder as with extras.
*There should be a specific moderation of invitations to be able to upload to the Mer repositories.
*There should be a possibility to upload self-built packages (source & binary packages), like 'non-free' but directly to 'main', for certain uploaders (kernel-diablo is a specific problem, as it doesn't build cleanly on new SDK with gcc4)

== Builder specifics ==

*Builders should target both i386 and armel (armv5el, not vfp) (will probably have to be set with CFLAGS)
*Mer has, for armv5el, a scratchbox v1 SDK:
**Toolchain: http://scratchbox.org/~jhakala/unofficial/scratchbox-toolchain-arm-linux-cs2008q3-72_1.0.8-1_i386.deb
**Devkit: http://stskeeps.subnetmask.net/mer/scratchbox-devkit-mer_1.0.8_i386.deb , debian-etch, cputransp
**On top of QEMU EABI: (http://maemogeek.blogspot.com/2007/11/installing-qemu-arm-eabi-patch-into.html)
**sb-conf setup MER-ARMEL --compiler=arm-linux-cs2008q3-72 --devkits=debian-etch:cputransp:mer --cputransp=qemu-arm-eabi -f
**sb-conf reset -f MER-ARMEL
**sb-conf select MER-ARMEL
**sb-conf rootstrap MER-ARMEL http://stskeeps.subnetmask.net/mer/mer-armel-rootstrap-v8.tar.gz
**sb-conf install MER-ARMEL --etc --devkits
*For i386 a following model could work:
**A tar.gz with debootstrap of a buildd variant (found at http://stskeeps.subnetmask.net/mer/mer-i386-rootstrap-v0.tar.gz ) , apt sources may have to be adjusted.
**chrooting into the unpacked tar.gz, put in source package, grab dependancies, build it natively (pbuilder?)
