Indeed it's more than encouraging - you and Andrew did an awesome job coming closer to cross-compiling. With your latest commits the amount of packages failing has shrinked again, and I think the most important ones are almost there to testdrive an image on a Raspberry pi - if this will be shipped. (Don't know if such a box/toy is something that can be used with Bering-uClibc - but then a 25$-toy to test cross-compiling is worth the money :) - though there is always qemu to test, but running LEAF on a real box is something different, I'm eager waiting to see the first pictures). The more I work with it, and accompanied by the comprehensive wiki page, the more I understand the changes - I can imagine building and releasing for other architectures is around the corner. It will require a few more steps building and testing packages, building releases, but at the end it's hopefully just a matter of time - and it will a big step for LEAF after all these years. Exciting times! Unfortunately I won't be a lot of help in the forthcoming future, I'm away until mid of April from the end of the week. Thanks to both of you! kp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure _______________________________________________ leaf-devel mailing list leaf-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
