  During the month of June, I spent most of my time learning and working on
some Cuntoo ebuild prototypes.  The TRB build process depends on three things
being in place:  ave1's [R.03] musltronic tools, diana_coman's [R.04] Keccak
Vtron, and TRB itself.  With this, I set out to see how far I could get by
creating ebuilds for all three of these.  I have made a blog post [R.05] that
gives more detail into what I did and the problems that I encountered.

  Long story short, I was able to build TRB via ebuilds that I created;
however, the one glaring problem is getting ave1's musltronic tools compiled
upon Cuntoo.  To build GNAT (which is needed to build the Keccak Vtron) one
needs a working GNAT.

  I'll continue working on these ebuilds next month.  I'll certainly need help
with comprising a solution to the GNAT circular dependency issue.  Hopefully
there will be a reasonable way to remedy this issue without too much trouble.
Once I have a solution in hand, then I'll re-write that specific ebuild. If
you're knowledgeable about the problem and want to help, please write in!
It would be much welcomed.

  Further out, for the medium term (August/September), and provided that I have
completed/finalized the three ebuilds, I will focus on a new HOWTO guide and
regrinding of TRB vpatches that are in need of submission post Cuntoo/Keccak
move.

All the best,
~mod6
