Some hours ago, I did some research about how I can run Linux on PSP and if is possible.The answer is yes, I can run Linux on PSP.
So, there are many howtos on the WEB that explain how you can do it but isn’t so easy to do it on PSP SLIM, just in PSP FAT.

Then, I prepare a package that contain all files necessaries to run Linux on PSP SLIM, you can do the download at the following link.

Uncompressed this file, copy the uCLinux directory to PSP/GAME150 and going to be happy.

In last couple months, I looked better the Python features and some modules. Now, I can do some good things with pyGTK and I did some software to the company where I working. So, now I’m gonna improve some parts of this software and I gonna use threads to do some internals tasks.

Here is an example of how is easy to use and understand threads in Python. If you’ve interest to see this software, ask me and I can put in some place.

Software Result:

I’m back to Brazil and much things happening in my life, you can see that, it’s one of motives that I don’t posting with some frequency.
Then, my trip to China was amazing, I was there during 36 days, I saw HongKong and Shenzhen, beatiful cities for live. I would like to live there in next year, but in currently economic world, actually haven’t a good health. So I’ll waiting some world reaction and so getting this idea again.

For me the trip was very good, China is wonderful, the people there are friendly, have a good education to welcome your guests and frankly, there are people extremely happy, or can I say, all very happy.

If you are a bit curious to see the pictures, you can access the URL below, there are many pictures about my trip.

I proposed the Philip M. Gollucci to ranking of ports committers some days ago. The proposal was accepted, less than two days after I sent the proposal, we receive of the core team the answer. Yes, a warm welcome to Philip M. Gollucci to the ranking of committers. Him did a good work and as usual him received the punishment. I’ll be the mentor and Gabor Kovesdan(gabor@) a co-mentor.

Published in Droso’s blog: Philip has been working on apache for a long time and has been increasingly interesting in FreeBSD as well. Marcelo Araujo finally stepped in and made him commit his own patches. Philip is going to be a great addition to our ports team!

I’m very happy to see pgollucci here.

Happened in the WTC Hotel on day 18th at São Paulo. Intel Conference day present for us some new business models and new way for technology in Intel vision.
Some players in the market showed for us new products and new tendency’s like IPTV, Digital TV, System on chip, SSD and Micro Processors.

The Conference really showed what proposed for us.

Few weeks ago I changed my position in company where I work. New challenges and opportunities is needed to bring back a good excitement. I continue to work with Open Source Projects, for me this is nice.

That’s All!

Few days ago I worked in a patch originally written by pgollucci to use some benefits of bsd.sites.mk, these benefits are the use of CPAN instead of ${MASTER_SITE_PERL_CPAN} and in some cases we can remove MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR entirely of port. Today I committed this modification in 2168 ports. I believe that we have another ports which must receive the same modification. CPAN macro is very similar with SF and in some cases CPAN make more easy ours work.

For this work I used some tools that automated the modifications:
island# find ports/*/ -name Makefile | xargs sed -ie ’s,\${MASTER_SITE_PERL_CPAN},CPAN,’
island# find ports/*/ -name Makefile | xargs sed -ie ‘/^MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR/d’
island# find ports/*/ -name Makefilee -exec rm {} \;

I created a script to check if all ports that received the changes yet are fetchable.

$ cat fetch.sh
#!/bin/sh
for i in `cat list.txt`
do
echo $i
cd /c/ports/$i
make fetch >>/c/log.txt 2>&1
if [ $? -ne 0 ]
then
cat /c/log.txt >>/c/portserrors.txt
fi
#cd /usr/ports/$i ; portinstall -F $i 1>error
done

After two days of downloads, I put this patch within pointyhat cluster that found only three ports with problem.
