Hi all ... I just read the archive of leaf-devel.
at http://www.mail-archive.com/leaf-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg08900.html , Mike start a thread about perl. My opinion is : 1. if we stick with LEAF as "Firewall Appliance" , we less need it (perl) in the system. 2. if we want/wish/dream to use LEAF as "base system" for other use, we "probably" need it. space consideration : uPerl.lrp is about 350 kb , and about 1mb when extracted to RAM. Relatively Huge enough compared to standard Bering-U distro. Fact. : 1. Small motherboard manufacturer is moving to Non-X86 CPU , while Bering is still for X86 CPU. 2.A. Most of X86 CPU based board have and IDE or CF slot for storage. and we can get storage more then 512mb easily 2.B. RAM : we can expand X86 based board RAM to 1 gb with only 20-30 USD My Story : I'm dreaming of building some kinda MDT for cabs. For this, I need a Messenger to enable conversation between in-vehicle unit software and OP-center Software. Currently, my only choice is JABBER. Some Jabber-client is extensible and accesible by external application, but most extention is based on Perl, Phyton, Ruby. My personal conclution : If we want to use LEAF (Bering-U) for base of a system other than "network centric" , uPerl is wothed Salute to all LEAF developer Sincerely -bino- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
