PS3 and Amiga - For developers without OS4

Hi,

There are plenty of Amiga owners with PS3 (including me now) but very little OS4 HW. I thougt that it might be possible to cross compile the source code on PS3... that could open up opportunites for the community to grow.

If we make up a server park with many PS3 machines the compilation of things like Mozilla should be reduced heavily. And if we make a bounty for a serverpark with Amiga OS4 machines the developers can also remotely access them and try out their creations.

* PROPOSED GUIDE *
************************
PS3 session:
- Install yellow dog linux or Ubuntu on all PS3 machines
- Install VNC server on linux
- Create user accounts for all developers (user1... user)
- Make a booking schedule available on internet for registerd users
- The person that has booked the time receives an account, IP and password for VNC
- Once logged in the user needs to change user account to his/her own (e.g. user1).
- The login script sets his environment (access Makefile and sources)
- A special script is started before compiling to determine the other available PS3?s
- The code is compiled and a binary is generated
- A loggfile should be filed in about the results (so the community can enjoy the progress)
- The user is then promted if he/she wants the binary deliverd to the pool of Amiga servers
- If so an ftp is started and the user is after that logged out from PS3

Amiga session:
- Once the user has booking time for the Amiga servers he/she can login to them
- VNC server on Amiga works, right? So we can use the same solution here...
- The binaries from the PS3 are already available so it should just be to run the application.
- Once the application is ready it's uploaded to OS4 depot

Improvements and thoughts please!
