Hi Gents; I'd like to make a proposal for the timeframe and features of the second alpha version of 5.0.
First of all, I think it should still be an alpha version - so neither the kernel nor the uClibc are fixed. Also the major goal for 5.0 to support other cpu architectures misses at least one image/example. We saw over 100 downloads of alpha1 and received no complaints so far, so I consider for X86_32 even an alpha1 version was not bad. Along with usual Package updates and fixes, the new features for the second alpha could be a X86_64 image and to "enable" zram support at least, and eventually offering signed packages. As far as I'm aware a X86_64 version currently needs - a patch for vsftpd - a solution for the uClibc loader (lib/ld-uClibc-0.9.33.2.so vs lib/ld64-uClibc-0.9.33.2.so - and images (AFAIR it worked without changes) About zram support, I've lost track about it's status. I know some changes has been made in master (like swap support in the kernel), others seems to be merged into next branch (like changes to conf/images/common/leaf.cfg) - don't know what other changes ended in which repository..., and finally it lacks any documentation how to enable and to make use of it. While I hope for everyone to have a good time at beaches in the sun like Curacao, it may happen that you are still at home over the the next weeks and probably have some time - so a timeframe for alpha2 might be 6th of January. Just ideas YMMV kp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
