Hi Etienne I don't consider myself a guru, but being a member of the Bering uClibc team, I feel like I can voice my opinion nevertheless. Now a survey ??? What would be the advantage and drawbacks of merging the Bering Bering-uclibc distributions ? Advantages would obviously be

Hi Mike, Now a survey ??? What would be the advantage and drawbacks of merging the Bering Bering-uclibc distributions ? What would be the advantage and drawbacks of keeping the Bering Bering-uclibc distributions separate ? IMHO, I think that we don't need 2 separate variantes of bering.

Hi Charles, What about the possability of moving forward with a mixed approach for the next major version? The core system (and most packages) could be compiled against uClibc, while packages that require it are compiled against a newer glibc that would optionally be installed by those with

Hi Mike, I'm curious - what makes you think so? My day work is targeting enterprise use (so, I think I know what they'd ask for, but then, different customers ask for different things, so one can't be sure), and with Bering uClibc, I don't see any of the buzz-words that would make it in the

Hello All, After my first mail, there were a few support offerings, that I am very gratefull too. in two of them the question came why not combine efforts. Yesterday, I discussed this topic with Mike also ( chat). I told him, i will think a few days about the future of bering. interesting is

Hi Eric, The conclusions I came up to so far are. 1. getting the route towards the bering-uclibc team, as I think that is where the future lies. 2. Kernel development can be done together. (2.4.23 , and later 2.6.0) 3. The solution I think Charles also suggested. using uclibc for the core. For
