Hi all,
After the WorldCup and the completion of my part time project and
studies, I now put my effort back to 0.3 development. In these few
days, something will happen to voyage unstable repository and the
existing voyage-current.tar.gz as I will promote the "current/unstable"
to Debian etch.
ooooh, ick. is there something wrong with sarge? The packages may be
"old" by a desktop user's standards, but for embedded work I think
they're just getting to the "properly aged" point. Which would be the
point at which I don't have to update them every other day.
Shoot, most embedded distros still only offer 2.4 kernels. But that's
a big reason why i went with voyage -- it was up to date as much as it
needed to be to do it's job, but not so old as to be stale and
lacking.
1. If you are running 0.2 distro and have been pointing the
/etc/apt/sources.list to unstable repository, please stop doing so.
Voyage unstable repository will include the kernel and some packages
built under etch, which makes the package not installable on 0.2
(because of package dependencies.)
2. voyage-current.tar.gz will be completely Debian etch based. The
first upload of etch based voyage-current.tar.gz would include:
- Trimmed etch, of course,
- ubuntu kernel 2.6.15, but will update to 2.6.17/18 before 0.3
final release.
- CF size ~67MB, distro tarball ~27MB.
- booted with initrd and grub
grub roolz! vive le grub!
- newly written installation/updating scripts (Thanks Bill's
contribution)
- daily build
3. voyage-current.iso will be a live CD
- casper + squashfs + unionfs
- daily build
- proposed as a platform for netinst and pxeinstall
- ISO size ~32MB.
As there will be a week before I upload the first etch Voyage, there is
still time to discuss my "proposal". Please give your feedback or if you
feel it uncomfortable, or suggest any other alternatives.

so I have a bunch of wrap boxes (pc-engines wrap1c) acting as waps
running voyage. they're mounted up high, and not easy to get to.
They are also running voyage 0.3 downloaded on 02-jun-2006. What are
your recommendations for this situation?
