Bering-uClibc 3.0 beta1 is a milestone release for Bering-uClibc. The changes since the last stable version are the biggest and most intrusive since we started working on Bering-uClibc four years ago.
Amongst the changes are updates of the linux kernel to 2.4.33, shorewall to version 3.2.2 and busybox to 1.2.1 - including the replacement of dash with busybox ash as standard shell. You'll now get commandline completion without the need to run a huge bash. Also the uClibc libraries has been updated to latest stable version 0.9.28. All available packages have been recompiled against uClibc 0.9.28. Do NOT try to run old packages from the 2.x series with this new release! But the most notable and probably most visible change is the overhaul of Bering-uClibc's package management and backup system. Since the early LRP days, the predecessor of LEAF, package management and backup was done with lrpkg. Based on David Douthitt's, Nathan Angelacos and Natanael Copa's work, we replaced lrpkg with apkg. Because the configurations are now saved independently from the packages in separate files (configdb and moddb), upgrading packages will be a lot easier in the future. Additionally Cedric Schieli enhanced apkg with an upgrade option, which will help to handle changes in configuration files. The floppy images, ISO image, ipv6 addon and a modules tarball are available in the "File Releases Area": http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=13751&package_id=67534 Please send feedback, bug reports and questions to the LEAF-User mailing list. in behalf of the Bering-uClibc team kp ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
