Hi Gents; After some talks about beta alpha and whatever, I'm lost about what should happen next :)
I'll try to summarize and want to make a proposal. Main points discussed are the kernel, the toolchain, uClibc and an image beyond X86-32. I think the uClibc version is fixed - especially since uClibc is seldomly updated before a release (don't know why, but this a twice in the past :)). Seriously, the current version works for X86 pretty well and even compilation of arm-versatile and X86-64 seems to be without major pb's. Therefor I don't see an urgent need to wait for a new version. The toolchain has had a major rework and improvemnts and proved to be able to compile for different architectures (plus it's a lot faster to build than buildenv) - not to mention that it's more convenient to use. It may be necessary to apply fixes, if we move further building images for other architectures, but I do not expect, that the general design will change. There has been proposals to update the current 3.2.x kernel. I voted to stay with the 3.2 kernel, which is well tested, Andrew voted for a 3.4 kernel, Yves asked for a more recent one, but also pointed out a few weeks, that the 3.4 kernel is also a long-time kernel (until 2014, whereas the 3.2 kernel will receive updates until 2015 AFAIK). We have no real image for anything beyond X86-32 - that's true. But we do have a proof-of-concept. My proposal is that we prepare and release alpha version, which means that uClibc version and the toolchain are almost done and ready to work with. So these will only change, if necessary. Note: The X86-32 images (i686, i486 and geode), improved compared to the 4.x version, and could be considered ready-to-test. So this could be a win for early adopters, and hopefully we'll get somne feedback. Until beta1 there will be time to a) working and test a newer kernel - which should be 3.4 IMHO; it has some interesting new features (teaming ethernet devices...) and is also an long-time kernel b) working on one or more additional images for a different architecture Yves, git-wise that shall happen in "next" branch? What's missing IMHO for the alpha version? I only see one interesting chapter in the Developer Guide ("using buildtool.pl") that needs an update. Maybe even a X86-64 version can be build??? What do you think? kp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
