Jdoe’s Throwaway

I’ve been recently working, as part of my thesis, with the AQuoSA architecture.

Since I’m a gentoo user and no ebuild did exist (at least, I did not find them), I’ve created an ebuild repository.

To use it you need bzr installed, and yes, it’s *really* a good thing if you read the AQuoSA doc before installing any of these ebuilds.

$ bzr co http://bzr.cnglab.net/aquosa-repo

as of now included ebuilds are:

sys-kernel/aquosa-sources : full linux sources with generic scheduler patch
sys-apps/aquosa-qosres    : qres program and aquosa headers, plus the qresmod linux module and aquosa init script
sys-apps/aquosa-qosmgr    : qmgr program
www-apache/mod_reserve    : apache2 module to provide QoS thought the AQuoSA infrastructure
media-sound/jack-audio-connection-kit : as of now it's unrelated to AQuoSA, but it's a WIP ebuild for jack2 svn
                                        with support for the pipelining branch. This ebuild is based on the proaudio
                                        repository ebuild.

Please report back to me every problem you will (yes, you will ) encounter using these ebuilds.

Instructions for paludis:

create a aquosa.conf file in the /etc/paludis/repositories/ directory with the following content

location = ${ROOT}/var/paludis/repositories/aquosa
sync = bzr+http://bzr.cnglab.net/aquosa-repo
master_repository = gentoo
format = ebuild
write_cache = /var/cache/paludis/metadata
names_cache = /var/cache/paludis/names

obviously change the location path to match your system settings.

then do the first-time sync of the repository:

$ paludis --sync x-aquosa

Instructions for portage:

sorry, I don’t use portage since I switched to paludis, If someone wants to contribute install instructions for portage he/she is welcome.
