Greg, Packages developed with libc 2.1.x should work on any libc 2.1.x based release/branch. At least that's the goal. The same applies to libc 2.0.x packages. There are some packages that are kernel dependant, but they are in the minority. The main split is along libc lines. Bering, Dachstein, and WRP are libc 2.0.x based. Oxygen, and Dachstein (KP) are libc 2.1.x based. PacketFilter can be either depending on the release/branch it's implemented on. -- Mike Noyes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://sourceforge.net/users/mhnoyes/ http://leaf-project.org/ _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
