Bother, said Pooh. Well, they have very different goals than cero does in several respects. It merely turned out that they needed dnssec, ipv6, and bufferbloat fixes in order to have a starting point for the stuff they cared about. It is certainly possible to make their direction more homenet-compliant, and I do look forward to any innovations in gui, secure update, and sharing they come up with making it back to the mainline. I don't (presently) have much to do with the project, I merely show'd 'em the fq_codel based SQM system, made two tiny changes for their needs, and they were golden. It's pretty well known that I don't care much about gui's, I am focused on the core technologies, so more power to them if they can address the perceived needs of their audience better than native cerowrt or openwrt do. I would certainly prefer a world that converged on a more minimal set of firmwares that were automagically kept up to date and secure, but we are a long way from that point, at this point. > > -- Juliusz > > _______________________________________________ > Babel-users mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/babel-users -- Dave Täht NSFW: https://w2.eff.org/Censorship/Internet_censorship_bills/russell_0296_indecent.article _______________________________________________ Babel-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/babel-users
