It is very likely that we'll throw out our machine past the OpenPKG 2.1 release or install another OS on it which will inhibit us reproducing problems. The largest problems you'll face will be vanished support by the vendor and lack of support by the community. The latter includes the various developers of all the open source applications which might introduce or already have requirements this old OS doesn't satisfy. Experience shows operating systems die slowly, you'll can continue to be happy with it for some more years. > So far I build tha basic openpkg-2.0.3 rom source, openpkg-tools and > gcc with no problems, [...] > OpenPKGs approach building from sources will help you further extend the life of your existing environment.
