So far the complainers about certain init systems fall in the complainers-not-doers category, so the v2012.05 release will only support 1 init system and 1 libc, but multiple machines. The next release will likely add 1.5 libcs: uclibc and klibc since we have people actively maintaining that in oe-core and meta-oe. Any extra features are up to the people willing to do the work. FWIW I've moved from a silicon vendor to a hardware company, so I'm less focussed on bleeding edge silicon support and more on making long term maintenance easier. Now that we actually have a release branch as well as release branches for various layers we use the load is spread between a lot more people than it was in the past. This means there now is not only motivation but actually time to solicit feedback on the releases and how people use them. So: Please share your feedback and things you want to see changed. regards, Koen _______________________________________________ Angstrom-distro-devel mailing list Angstrom-distro-devel@linuxtogo.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/angstrom-distro-devel
