Starch is a static-linked, Arch-based, highly experimental Linux distro. I thought that some folks here may care to try it.
Packages: http://strake.zanity.net:1104/starch/pkg/(core, extra) Build Scripts: http://strake.zanity.net:1104/starch/ports.git To install, one can just use the stock Arch image and point pacman to the Starch repo. So far, the base system works and is bootable, on my qemu VM at least. Binaries are linked against uClibc or musl; I hope to use musl alone in near future. It can't yet build itself, but has a toolchain available, taken from sabotage, which links against musl. Packages are built for amd64. I may add legacy x86_32 packages if someone builds them, and I mean to add loongson packages when I get one. Short-term goals: * Switch to musl * Build self as host * Find a mirror Longer-term goals: * Trash GNU gcc, binutils, bash * Ergo, port all scripts to mksh * Install media Forever goals: * Not lose Cheers, Strake
