I know the patch but this is not the problem 'yet'. All code is added after they removed klibc support won't support it and the 'whole' klibc code will be removed from udev at some point ( I can't find this discuss on their ML yet but is somewho there with the reason why they don't support it anymore etc ).So why work on/with something is already deprecated and not supported anymore from upstream ? I don't like the idea we have to 'maintain' udev somewho while this klibc. It was planned to include klibc in the mailine but the kernel folks already dropped the patches while tons problems etc. > port it to new versions of udev, I mean take a look at it[1]. anyway It's too > bad they droped udev support for klibc coz You really feel the difference > when booting > with initramfs/klibc or initrd/busybox, it's much faster since the image is > too > initramfs vs initrd :P you can use busybox for initramfs too :) And the next version, I guess , will have the buildin initramfs support. > small only Needed modules and a couple of binaries included > > >>> Tomorrow I will starting working on initramfs for FrugalWare, I will mail >>> you >>> guys about the progress and with the darcs repo... >>> >>> >> Thx for working on this. >> > You're welcome :) > > [1]: > http://cvs.archlinux.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/base/klibc-udev/klibc-remove-revert.patch?rev=HEAD&cvsroot=Current&only_with_tag=CURRENT&content-type=text/plain > _______________________________________________ Frugalware-devel mailing list [email protected] http://frugalware.org/mailman/listinfo/frugalware-devel
