Gentoo Loongson 2F N32 stage3 is now available on gentoo mirrors worldwide


http://r0bertz.blogspot.com/2010/07/loongson-2f-n32-stage3-is-now-available.html

It is under experimental/mips/stages/loongson/. Like:
http://mirrors.xmu.edu.cn/gentoo/experimental/mips/stages/loongson/
I should have done it long ago, just don't familiar with catalyst and
catalyst lacks documentation.

Thanks to leio and robbat2 for making it happen.

I have already included kernel modules in the stage3. You can find the
corresponding kernel here:
http://www.gentoo-cn.org/~zhangle/

If you want to build your own kernel, use the source here:
http://dev.lemote.com/code/linux-loongson-community/wiki/WikiStart

You also need loongson overlay. Just use layman to add it. Of course
you need to emerge layman first.

If you find portage ask you to downgrade packages, you can try this trick
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86 ~mips"
However you need to understand that there is no guarantee that
software installed in this way would work. But at least some of them
will work. Like perl. I have been using this for a long time. Some
packages are not so easy to downgrade. So maybe you need to use this
too. But remember, if the package really works, better file a keyword
bug asking devs to add mips keyword to it.

Please note this is experimental, so I am afraid there will be
problems. If you hit any, please don't hesitate to contact me.
