We used to use gentoo for building alpine.

I think it should be fairly straightforward to get that working. We have someone working on a similar project to yours, with unionfs - but he wants use eglibc instead of uclibc. Might be we need some patches for supporting aufs in initramfs to mounting up the root, but I think thats gonna be trivial. You are welcome to freenode #alpine-devel or #alpine-linux to discuss details. > Last time I looked you pretty much mandated building an installation which > only ran from ram? We support installing on disk. I run Alpine Linux on my netbook as a traditional disk install. > However, your git tree suggests that you compile your uclibc without SSP? > Can you comment on whether SSP works for you? I thought we enable SSP? hum... looks like i need to fix the gcc apkbuild. SSP should work though. We used it for gcc-4.4 and i'm fixing gcc-4.5 as we speak. -- Natanael Copa _______________________________________________ uClibc mailing list uClibc@uclibc.org http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/uclibc
