[Replicant] GSD4e/GSD4T

[Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli]

Hi,

GSD4T seem to be supported somehow by gpsd.

Maybe some people having the Galaxy nexus could give a try, I don't
have it anymore.

Here's my findings:
> % git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/gpsd.git && cd gpsd
> % git grep -i gsd
> gpsdecode.xml:probably of interest only to GSD developers.</para>
> test/daemon/bu353s4.log:# Firmware

> % git log --oneline -- test/daemon/bu353s4.log
> [...]

There also other commits mentioning SIRF-IV.
I already tried long time ago, and put that in the Replicant wiki[1].

Some hints:
-----------
F-Droid has an application to install a Debian chroot, assuming the
debootstrap doesn't have issue with the lack of free space, that might
be an easy way to try gpsd.

PS: Note that the galaxy nexus has a proprietary and signed bootloader,
    so I wonder how much time it's worth.

Denis.
