asciilifeform: (read rotor.sh, it becomes very clear)
asciilifeform: also the dependency on 'realpath' is abolished.
asciilifeform: hanbot: the stator in question is precisely the customary stator (with the patches of your choice) but for the patch in 14-1 and the script 14-2 and 14-3 in place of the usual stator.sh and stator_bitcoin_only...
asciilifeform: hanbot: the basic idea of 'rotor' is that you have quite the same stator as before, but it is built with a toolchain (gcc and binutils) that were built for the occasion, and use musl
asciilifeform: hanbot: you will have a dir, outermost, named what you like - e.g., 'rotor', and then rotor/toolchain and rotor/buildroot-xxx and rotor/stator, inside the latter - quite the same thing as in normal stator, other than the musl patch and the rotor.sh script (replacing the old stator.sh)
asciilifeform: hanbot: it means that the stator has to be set up in the same way as for classic stator - there is a 'distfiles' dir, the one with MANIFEST, that needs to have the tarballs placed therein
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'm not certain that it wouldn't be a step up for me! just think, instead of showing up to the office for a week, just one, just one punch in the head
