Hello, I'm Etienne Charlier, I live in belgium. I'm sofware analyst/developper since 15years I've been doing Operating system development ( Assembler 370), C/C++ Windows DNA applications, now, i'm working in a 10 people team developping software for customers ( in .NET) Please forgive my english a little bit ( Frenchie) ;-) .. good you can just read me, not hear me ;-)
I follow this list since its beginining ( and before on the original lrp mailing list) and I'm really impressed by the level of expertise of all the developpers.. I have +/- 12 bering installed ( some of them running from floppies), most of them running from CD 6 are connected by pair through openvpn tunnels ( only vpn software that I managed to configure when both ends on the tunnel are on volatiles IP addresses ( ADSL PPPOE)) squid, ..tinydns,... I started customizing bering uclibc 2.0 - I managed to make a package with linux-igd ( upnp support) CVS version ( for now staticaly linked) thanks to the http://www.fastflow.it/floppinux/bering/index.html page but by rebuilding the package myself - I'm trying to master the bering-uclibc build environment and trying to make a package with openvpn ( a little bit hard for a .NET /DNA developper/architect ;-) ) - I would also like to make run the dsl_qos_queue program ( http://www.sonicspike.net/software/ ) - A few years ago ( my posts are on the list archive ) I started developping an alternate configuration system based on a unique configuration file stored on the boot floppy ( outside of the .LRP) used to process configuration file templates ( a call was made to a setup.sh or something like that at the end of the linuxrc script). That script generated the actual configuration files that overwrote the one from the packages. - I'm really interested by contributing to the web interface/cdb configuration system mainly for the soho release.. something like the web interface of the router/accesspoint/adsl modem appliances available in the stores ( usrobotics, linksys) - I'll have some spare time ( but disconnected from the Internet) during the End of year hollidays and I would be really interested by learning more deeply the cdb stuff written by Eric & Chad Now a survey ??? What would be the advantage and drawbacks of merging the Bering & Bering-uclibc distributions ? What would be the advantage and drawbacks of keeping the Bering & Bering-uclibc distributions separate ? IMHO, I think that we don't need 2 separate variantes of bering. What do the others "gurus" think about that ???

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...
