(JoSch) It took me several hours to run the openmoko makefile on my AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ so it would be nice to have the complete environment without having to compile the whole stuff BUT

  1. wouldn'd it also costs hours to unpack such a big archive with so much files?
  2. where should such a big file be hosted permanently with the necessary download speed and transfer volume?
  3. isn't it 'unfair' to choose just one distribution for the chroot environment instead of supplying a guide how everyone could set up their own?
    • so wouldn't it be cleaner to just supply a compressed version of the openmoko build environment and the distribution specific files are suppplied by the user?
  4. isn't it hard to maintain such a giant file over the time and support errors the users have with it?
  5. wouldn't everyone still use the makefile because the files downloaded by it should generally be newer than the files in your archive?
