You should know that Alpine will sacrifice size for faster development. I am working on 3 branches of Alpine currently. (all uses uclibc but some uses newer version of gcc and some does not include SSP,PIE etc.) When I get time I will probably add a 4th too. Every branch has a build environement with all packages in tbz2 format (gentoo binary), then there is a apk repository with all apk's (you can load runtime apk's from http) and then there is all iso images that includes all the apks. So every package is stored atleast 3 times. I would prefer saving a couple of generations backwards for history. I have been able to temporarly borrow 500MB space from lmdata.net but I have found out that it is only enough for uploading a demo. I guess every branch could easily use 1GB. And then, if I get my hands on other processor architectures, there might come an amd64 and ppc branch. So Alpine is a bulldozer. Are you sure that you still want Alpine under the leaf umbrella? -- Natanael Copa ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ leaf-devel mailing list leaf-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
