Finalize (linuxarm* aka Raspberry Pi) Integration

[bakercp]

Here is a TODO list for finalizing Raspberry Pi Integration (please add some of check them off as they are completed).

• Finish distcc VM image / distributed compile guide (@danthemelloman) distcc image todo openFrameworks-RaspberryPi/openFrameworks#158
• Update the HOWTO wiki entries for RPI/Panda
• Figure out where to put our startup guide and move it over from the RPI branch
• Create a minimal downloadable release (i.e. precompiled libs, examples, etc)
• Stop referring to it as Raspberry Pi and start referring to it as something like ... linuxarm or enix (@kylemcdonald ). We want people to know that this now actually brings in strong support for almost any armv6 (RPI) or armv7 platform (pcduino, pandaboard, beagleboard, etc).
• After Makefile overhaul 2.0. (Don't merge yet). #2094 is merged, make sure it plays nicely with the linuxarm components.
• Close (or migrate) all issues in the https://github.com/openFrameworks-RaspberryPi/openFrameworks, suspend the repo and make it clear that the branch has been integrated into the core.

@dantheman really sorry ... I meant @danthemellowman. You can unwatch this thread at the bottom (if you haven't already ... sorry if I just re-subscribed you :/)

for the guides we should migrate them as setup guides in ofSite, the format there is also markdown so it should be almost a copy and paste

for the name i vote for arm linux, we would have to new downloads in the site section so i would add a new section in:

http://www.openframeworks.cc/download/

for arm linux and add 2 downloads with the architecture and in parenthesis examples of which boards are supported, i think something like:

armv6 (Raspberry Pi)
armv7 (Pandaboard, BeagleBone...)

[bakercp]

This all sounds good to me @arturoc a good way to keep the codebase focused on architecture rather than a popular platform :)

Once we get all of the files and distcc image, etc in place, then we can update the documentation and move it to ofSite at the same time.

So take the WiKi guides and get them into the correct mark down and add
some screen captures etc? Can we fork ofSite to the
openFrameworks-raspberrypi org and work on it there then do a single PR to
the main repo?

whatever you prefer, hosting the site somewhere to check the changes might be useful to

[bilderbuchi]

@bakercp is this bound to make it into 0.8, or should we push back?

[ofTheo]

@bakercp - would be great to get a status update. is this going to be done for 0.8 or should we push back to 0.8.1?

[arturoc]

this is mostly done we just need to move/create the guides in the setup guides section of the web and add the downloads in the downloads page when we do the release. might be good to test the packages being generated in the nightly builds for arm.

[bilderbuchi]

so, that todolist in the top post is all what you just said, basically?

[arturoc]

i'm going to postpone the missing taks to 0.8.1. Almost everything is done except the makefiles refactoring that have been moved to 0.8.1 too and creating the distcc image which we can create later, there's also much more simplified instructions on how to create it now

[jvcleave]

I didn't delete the old wiki content but I did put a notice and link to the new guide.

hey @bakercp can we close this? i think it's finalized ;)

edit: closing, re-open if it's still relevant :)
