Hello all, I am slowly working on updating my fdos.org site; to that end I have finally re-enabled my kernel builds. However, unlike past builds, the kernels found are now (or at least should, I'm still testing) only be updated if the SVN source is updated. I have it checking several times a day (subject to some tweaking); but it means that usually within 24hrs or less of anyone committing changes to the kernel an updated build will be available.
The builds are currently 386+ with FAT32 and 8086+ without FAT32, but UPX'd and compiled with Open Watcom. The included LSM files are automatically updated with SVN revision and build date; the kernel also shows SVN revision and build date (just committed change to simplify version setting from command line). Within the source archive the file docs\modifications.xml includes (only) the updates since the last source checkout. I may make some minor changes, but overall should now be available for all. The build options were choosen based on assumption that pre 386 computers do not generally need FAT32 and those who want maximum compatibility will want a kernel without any FAT32 updates. Adding additional build variations is easy enough, the hardest part will be updating my index.html, so please send me a messsage off list if others are desired. Please note: currently this only includes the kernel (no command.com included). Within the next few weeks I will try to get my bootdisks updating and included programs.
