Hello everybody, As you might know , Jacques has stopped, and gave the "rudder" to me.
My plans with Bering are. 1. update kernel to 2.4.23. 2. update packages 3 revise the documentation and make some improvements. 4 create a basic webinterface. 5 cleanup linuxrc. 6 create a "bering light" for the soho environment with few options. 7 Translate the Bering Documentation
This all under the following conditions A I want to keep rather close to the bering-uclibc group. B A floppy distro should still be possible.
But I know I will need help with those plans :) Are there any volunteers for come aboard .
Looks like a major issue, I am interested to see this move on. I am about to deploy a few boxes with specialised hardware based on Bering which needed kernel tweaks anyway. Those have been adapted by Eric Spakman for Bering uClibc. I was discussing the differences between the two distributions with members of the Bering uClibc team. I believe the kernel work could be a joint effort.
I will try to move my modified kernel to 2.4.23 anyway, based on Jacques' 2.4.20 config and on the kernel building description by the uClibc team. So count me in for this.
I don't know to what level Jacques has standardised the package building process. I believe the work done in the uClibc crew is remarkable, it might well be worth the effort to use it for glibc based Bering too.
I believe closing ranks with the guys from the uClibc group is worth it, most of your points up there may apply to both distributions.
Well what the heck, count me in with the limited time I have...
