Archos G9 devel image

Hi,

attached I send two .ks files: one for creating a testing and one for 
creating a devel rootfs tarball.
Please note that these .ks files will generate armv7hl installations 
instead of armv7l as can be downloaded from basyskom.
Both use the pvr driver.

I briefly tested the generated tarballs:

The testing one seems to work ok.
It booted fine and I could make a suspend/resume cycle without problems.

The devel one boots and the GUI comes up.
However, here the GUI got somewhat "stuck".
Nothing responds except actions being triggered via the hardware buttons 
(volume, lock screen).
I don't know if this may be caused by my device battery being nearly 
empty (At least I saw some message at bootup that may have caused the 
GUI to lock up.).
I will test that later after letting the device charge a little.

I generated the rootfs tarballs as follows:
PATH=$PATH:/sbin sudo mic create fs 
plasma-active-archos-gen9-pvr-mer-devel-2013-02-23.ks 
--pack-to=plasma-active-archos-gen9-pvr-mer-devel-2013-02-23.tar.gz 
--pkgmgr=yum --arch=armv7hl


Up to now, the bits for the armv7hl hardware adaptation are only hosted 
in my "private" repositories on cobs at meego:
https://build.pub.meego.com/project/show?project=home%3Awonko%3Aarchos-g9-pa-adaptation
https://build.pub.meego.com/project/show?project=home%3Awonko%3Aarchos-g9-pa-adaptation%3Apvr


If there is the interest I (or someone else) could push this stuff into 
a little bit "more official" place.
Would creating own projects for an Archos G9 armv7hl adaptation make sense?
Imho integrating the changes with the existing Archos G9 armv7l 
adaptation would be pretty complicated as we would need to distinguish 
between soft and hard float for building some packages in a single 
common project.

I could also upload the images somewhere if you like to test those yourself.



Regards,

Ruediger
