Anaconda, job hunting and studies (pt. 2)
Beside my finances aren’t so good (hey reader, hire me!), I decided to dedicate this whole month to two main tasks;
1. Porting a new Anaconda (the RedHat installer) snapshot to Gentoo-land (and Sabayon in particular). After spending a whole week catching, one by one (and with the help of anaconda.spec.in) all the build, runtime dependencies the installer requires; and after having cooked every single missing ebuild in Portage to make the magic happen; and after having written (and ported from the old codebase) most of the backend code required to implement a “LiveCD” install, I can say I’m almost done. This time, I took the cleanest path possible in order to be able to keep our Anaconda port aligned with upstream.
You can find my git repo here, and gentoo-dev ML discussion (for reviewing and merging my ebuilds into the Portage tree). Maybe it’s time for Gentoo, to have a good LiveDVD installer?
2. Studies. My University studies are going well, this semester I’m digging into Computer Architecture, Functional Programming (using OCAML) and Java. Beside I always get bored when getting down to Java (maybe because I do like it too much? 
), I find writing OCAML code really fun (and funny too?). So, my plans are, passing all these 3 exams in a row. Eheh…
