And lo, two days became two weeks :-). Rudimentary docs and packages to bring Bering up to glibc 2.2.5 are on http://www.wix.net.nz/LEAF/ All input welcome - I'd especially like a few people to take them for a spin before they get announced on the LEAF website or on 'users. Of interest to

Hi folks Nothing quite like replying to yourself a month later. A few weeks ago, I had another go at converting Bering to glibc 2.2.5, and irritatingly, it pretty much worked first time :-). I've now got a couple of routers out in the field running Bering RC1 and glibc 2.2.5, and it seems to

Sure - in the next couple of days I was going to do the same conversion to Bering RC2 and document the process for my own records. Once I've done that, I'll certainly put both changed packages and documentation up somewhere. Cheers Si On Fri, Apr 26, 2002 at 06:39:39PM +0200, Kim Oppalfens

I investigated libc 2.2 when it first came out and all pointers to the bloat was support for both 32-bit and 64-bit processors. If you could drop the 64-bit support out of the source you would likely reduce a huge amount of compiled code (this may be a config option). I could be on crack
