Selbst wenn jemand die SH4 Hardware in den 3er Kernel wieder einbaut, player2 Module anpasst, etc.
Bedeutet es noch lange nicht, das es besser / schneller / stabiler läuft als mit Kernel 2.6.32.71

I agree. Unless there is some driving need to change the kernel, I am not sure anyone has the free time for all the work required. Also there seems to be no interest from those using oe-alliance to upgrade either.
I gave up on the duckbox developers' build environment about a year ago and switched to using oe-alliance (Taapat and MastaGs' gits). But I still use the drivers from duckbox developers. There are advantages and disadvantages to both build environments and not being a developer, I have to heavily rely on work from others. A short time ago when I noticed the dropping of enigma2 from buildsystem-ddt, I started looking into using Audioniek's git, but have not had the time to do much. If Audioniek is dedicated to continuing, I would be happy to follow his git and contribute what I can. But I only have an alien2 (spark7162) to play with...
BTW -= I know MastaG has been testing with gcc 4.9.4, but I have not tried it yet.
Please note that in the drivers section the greatest difference between my git that that of duckbox-developrers exist. For the Sparks and Fortis you will find many improvements. In somewhat lesser regard this is also true for the apps and flash gits.
I agree. I spent some time with oe-alliance and abandoned it for the following reasons:
- When building on the same machine a build with oe-alliance takes more than five times longer;
- You need to learn a new "language": BitBake;
- It is a lot of work to add SH4 boxes other than Sparks and I found the process cumbersome and not very logical;
- For SH4, oe-alliance relies heavily on the gits also used by the buildsystem, so why complicate things and not use the source directly?;
- After a build is complete, the oe-alliance system has created over a million files and needs quite a bit of diskspace.
Regards,
Audioniek.
