 Thx KP!

Done, pls. see:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/leaf/files/Bering-uClibc/

 
 Generally the packages are for 4.x, but kernel related packages for 4.2
 only. We don't test newer packages on oler releases, though they may work.
 Eeek! I've been using LEAF for 10+ yrs and this is news to me.

Well, you don't expect that with our limited resources we'll be able to
maintain the latest release, develop a new one *and* to test packages
against releases that are a year or more released?

It shouldn't be that new, we've tried to explain here (in 2004):
http://leaf.sourceforge.net/bering-uclibc/index.php?module=pagemasterPAGE_user_op=view_pagePAGE_id=8MMN_position=8:8


 I have to admit it's been more than a while since I perused the doc'n 
 but if this isn't noted somewhere in the docs I'd submit that it'd be 
 worthy.
 
 Tho based on this (that pkgs are only tested against the newest LEAF 
 ver), is it really fair to refer to the pkgs as being for 4.x when it's 
 actually not really known if the pkgs will work on older versions?
 
 Just a suggestion for something to think about!

I get your point, but it doesn't have a high priority yet :)

Are better solution would be to provide a packages page, that refers
to different releases based on git tags - but it requires some work and
I'm afraid the current CMS is not much of a help to accomplish such a task.

[leaf-user] Seeking tor.lrp Update (and sugg'n re 4.2+ pkg requirements notice)

2012-04-16 Thread groups, freeman
My tor client (running on BuC 4.2b1) is warning me that the server 
version I'm using is needing an update:

 [warn] Please upgrade! This version of Tor (0.2.2.33) is not recommended, 
 according to the directory authorities. Recommended versions are:
 0.2.1.32
 0.2.2.35
 0.2.3.10-alpha
 0.2.3.11-alpha
 0.2.3.12-alpha
 0.2.3.13-alpha

(I'm partial to 0.2.2.25 myself, given that it's non-alpha, but would be 
thankful for any version that makes the tor network more secure.)

The version repo for tor is here, if it's helpful:
https://archive.torproject.org/tor-package-archive/?C=N;O=A

=

BTW, I happened to notice that atop the 4.x packages page 
(http://leaf.sourceforge.net/bering-uclibc/index.php?module=pagemasterPAGE_user_op=view_pagePAGE_id=13MMN_position=33:33)

it mentions that the listed pkgs only work for 4.2+.

Question: Will I be able to still use these pkgs with a 4.2 beta 1 platform?

Suggestion: Clarify on that page that the limitation for 4.2 is for 4.2 
*release*+, or 4.2 beta 1+ or ...?

Suggestion: Adjust the text for the 4.x pkgs (on the left side of most 
leaf.SF pages) to instead read 4.2+ pkgs, to aid in people noticing 
this diversion from the usual 4.X coverage?

Suggestion: Adjust the text atop the actual page of listed pkgs, that 
currently reads Please note: These packages are only for Bering-uClibc 
versions 4.2 and above. to be in red. I felt lucky that I noticed it 
because I don't usually peruse the page and instead just home in on the 
pkg that I want to look into.

I guess that I find this diversion (from the past 10 yrs of a major LEAF 
version having common pkgs) startling.

Cheers,  thanks for LEAF!
