Actually I'm just going to cheat, in a way. Added -fno-strict-volatile-bitfields to makepkg.conf C/CXXFLAGS and I'm plowing through KDE stuff on v7h. Will make the adjustments to v5 and start building there after today's round of updates finishes. That flag essentially does the same thing that the patch accomplishes, and is how I was building KDE packages manually before, only now it finally clicked to add it to makepkg.conf.

Everything totally works now, v7 and v5 on rpi. Great job.
Also I fount a fix for stability on smsc95xx, no freeze on big downloads. USB has major problems, can't even run a Bluetooth keyboard.

Good to hear about the KDE stuff. Are you using a powered USB hub? Might be a power thing?

Hi guys. Any ideas how to get a hold of one or two RaspberryPis? I wanna mess with Qt5 on it too. :)

That I know, I was hoping on some pre-release samples ;).

All of the KDE software, including the kdeedu stuff, should be good to go in the repo.

Know of any other specifics they're looking for software-wise? Would be nice to be especially sure that we're solid.

If this gadget really takes off, it might pay to have it's own v6 hard float repo (and if they provide hf drivers)?
KDE words fine, just takes 30 minutes to upgrade.

To be honest, the prospect of building out another full repo isn't exactly exciting. It's not an easy task, and for a single device it would really need to be worth it. It doesn't help that the boards needed to do the work are impossible to get at this stage.. we'd be way behind by the time of a public launch. With my rough estimation of its native power.. it would take a few months for a solid repo even with 2-4 of the devices on my desk.

I am just building the kernel pkg, will build rootfs tomorrow, and possibly write instructions for install.
What if a million of them are sold, would it be worthwhile then? Assuming drivers for it are around too.
