If we want to support the architecture, we need somebody to build the binaries on regular basis. And since you seem to be the first and possibly the only one using thing platform, that would probably mean you. So the main question is: are you willing to keep compiling binaries on regular basis?
If I can accomplish this task, I would be glad to contribute to it. For a long time I took advantage from other people in the open source community. But what are the requirements?
1. You need to be able to compile TeX Live sources (now and preferably at least once (or twice in case of problems) per year): http://www.tug.org/texlive/build.html 2. You need to compile luatex and metapost: - svn co http://svn.contextgarden.net/suite/build-binaries - edit platform.sh (in case of problems or questions, please ask) - run ./bin_update_src.sh, go to src/metapost and src/luatex and try to build the two with ./build.sh 3. If you are able to accomplish both, our requirement/request would be that you would be ready to keep building luatex and metapost on regular basis. A while ago that meant twice per month. (At the moment there has been no new release since July.) This means that whenever a new version comes out, you are ready compile a new binary within a few days. I'm also CC-ing Boris Veytsman who used to be interested in compiling TeX Live for arm. Mojca
