so we dropped mkinitrd we dont use java we dont provide man we are not prelinking and we dont provide utilities for building rpm. it is a similiar story for tar gzip bzip2 cpio So because we strip things down we need a way for useful standard utilities. I would suggest that we include everything we really want in pilgrim explicitly or we add them as Requires for olpc-utils _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
