[nslu2-linux] Optware for Android, another try

 

Hello,

I've put up another script to bootstrap Optware on an Android device. It
differs from other attempt(s) in following points:

1. It's targeted for all Android devices, not one random in zillions
available.
2. It takes care not to ship random binary blobs without documented
origins, and instead downloads any binaries from Optware or
CodeSourcery proper.

There're more ranty details of what I find wrong with other
implementation(s):

(note the situation is typical and applies to most other free software
hacks for Android).

The bootstrap script, associated documentation and bug tracker are
available via SourceForge project:
https://sourceforge.net/p/optware-android

Everything there is still work in progress, but the script already
installs ready-to use Optware's ipkg on my Nook Tablet.

Hope this will be useful for someone.
