Hi all;
After more than one year of developement the LEAF Bering-uClibc team
announces the
first beta version of LEAF Bering-uClibc 5.0.
Bering-uClibc 5.0 is basically Bering-uClibc 4.x brought up to date
with the latest versions of the main software components. But the most
important changes are:
- The Linux kernel is upgraded from 2.6.x to a recent long-term release
(3.4.34)
- The uClibc library is upgraded from 0.9.30 to 0.9.32.
- The toolchain (formerly known as buildenv) has been reworked to
support more processors.
Currently only images for X86_64 images are provided, but as a
proof-of-concept an arm-versatile
based version can be build as well.
Usage of the toolchain has been alleviated in various aspects.
We've enabled more busybox applets ( applets ifenslave, vconfig,
bunzip2, unlzma, lzma, modinfo,
setserial, beep, chat, mpstat, pstree, watch, nohup) and enabled verbose
help messages for busybox applets.
zram support has been added (See the Bering-uClibc 5.x User Guide
Configuring leaf.cfg for more details).
Work on Bering-uClibc 5.x started in October 2011, with Andrew as the lead
developer and contributions from kapeka, Erich Titl, davidMbrooke and
Yves Blusseau
among others.
