The CLFS Development team is pleased to announce the second release candidate of CLFS-1.0.0, code-name "Bender". This test release features Glibc 2.4, GCC 4.1.1, Binutils 2.17, and supports the x86, x86-64, sparc, powerpc, ppc64, mips, mips64, and alpha, including multilib on those arch's that support it. Cross-building is also supported, even from non-Linux host systems such as Solaris, *BSD, and OS X.
The developers encourage wide testing of the CLFS build on as many archs as possible, proofreading of the text, and any other suggestions. Please open tickets in the Trac system at http://trac.cross-lfs.org for any problems found, so we may address them. You may view the book online at: http://cross-lfs.org/view/1.0.0rc2/ and downloadable versions are available for most arch's at: http://cross-lfs.org/files/BOOK/1.0.0rc2/ This release is tagged in SVN at the following location, if you wish to render it yourself: http://svn.cross-lfs.org/svn/repos/cross-lfs/tags/1.0.0rc2 Roadmap: This marks a turning point in CLFS. It is our hope that there will be no substantial changes to the build itself, and we can go forward with the release of 1.0.0 on July 22nd. MIPS is showing testsuite failures, and therefore it may be removed from the book for the release - that will be determined soon. If any build changes appear in the next week, there will be a RC3 release on July 22nd. 1.0.0 will *NOT* be released until we can last one weeks testing without changes to the build instructions. We thank you for your support! -- The CLFS Development Team Jim Gifford - CLFS Co-leader Ryan Oliver - CLFS Co-leader Jeremy Utley - CLFS 1.x release manager Joe Ciccone, Justin Knierim, Chris Staub, Matt Darcy, Ken Moffat, Manuel Canales Esparcia, Nathan Coulson, Jeremy Huntwork _______________________________________________ Clfs-dev mailing list [email protected] http://ninja.linux-phreak.biz/mailman/listinfo/clfs-dev
