Category: Dachstein Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Submitted By: Ewald Wasscher (ewaldw) Assigned to: Charles Steinkuehler (cstein) Summary: Wishlist for next "Dachstein" release. Initial Comment: My wishes for "Dachstein": Have a source tree in CVS from which one can build the core packages. (initrd?, root, etc, modules, log) Build support for multiple ramdisks into linuxrc. Modify linuxrc to work without sed. This will reduce size if we start using an initrd with statically linked binaries. Personally I think Oxygen linuxrc is cleaner and more readable, so perhaps we could make it a bit like that one and steal a few ideas from it. At least keep 2.2.x kernels as an option as 2.2 masquerading still seems to have better support for difficult protocols like ipsec, directplay, msn messenger to name a few. Also 2.2 kernels are considerably smaller than 2.4 kernels. Keep the possibility of a workable 1-floppy release. This may force us to use an alternative c-library for the core packages, and have glibc as an addon. (did I say uClibc) Create a pre-built 2.2.20 kernel. Skip glibc 2.1.x as it will be autodated quite soon. Generic update of all programs. Replace the usual system programs with smaller versions, or offer smaller ones as an alternative. This will make it easier to keep evertything on 1 floppy. (dcron, udhcp, busybox ash) When we switch to busybox ash: Remove the need for getopts and exp from POSIXness/linuxrc and replace them with busybox expr and getopt. Replace every possible program with their busybox equivalent. Rewrite all initscripts so that these will work with busybox start-stop-daemon once the busybox-unstable branch becomes stable. (In fact it is quite stable already I think) BB start-stop-daemon only accepts short-style arguments like "-K" not the long style ones like "--pid-file=". Ship with some SSH version by default? Web-based configuration? (mini_httpd + ssl?) If possible builtin support for bandwidth managment like Jacques' and Eric's release. With uClibc this should fit on 1 floppy-disk.
