water cooler :: Would it be time for DSL to shed its skin?

Alright - It will be on rapidshare by tonight (it's 5PM here); stay tuned.

Update:
8:30PM
Restarted buildroot - Adding 'coreutils' and other GNU stuff (gawk, less, nano, patch, sed, etc).
There is still OpenSSL. And OpenSSL needs Perl. Dear Curaga, I am leaving OpenSSL up to you.
It is coming along, but will probably not be ready until tomorrow morning.

9.40PM
I think I will PM you the rapidshare url when it is ready.

1. The buildroot snapshot tarball I am using is 'buildroot-20070721.tar.bz2'.

2. I would like to send you the buildroot configuration ('.config') and uClibc configuration ('uClibc-0.9.29.config'). What is the best way to send them? Thank you.
(The buildroot configuration file '.config' is placed at 'buildroot/.config'.)
(The uClibc configuration file 'uClibc-0.9.29.config' is placed at 'buildroot/toolchain/uClibc/uClibc-0.9.29.config'.)

3. I think I will upload my 'buildroot/dl' directory as a .tar.gz to rapidshare. It will contain a 'dl' directory with all the source tarballs inside. This will save you the download time.

I don't like buildroot that much, I don't think I'd have any use with those configs..
How did you select 2.4.31 headers? when I tried buildroot's menuconfig the only header selectable was 2.6.21..

Hey, no hurry. I just got Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, so I couldn't do anything anyway

Build perl and openSSL if you can, or if it only depends on time..

Code Sample

`make menuconfig` -> "Build options" -> "[*] Show packages that are deprecated or obsolete"

I am sorry, but it takes very long on my system - P4 'Willamette' 1.7. Could you add Perl and OpenSSL on your own? (Unless, you are worse off in terms of CPU?) I would build them if I were more free, but it is already midnight here, I still have assignments to complete, and I have to go watch a show tomorrow (parent is taking me to see it), so my weekend is effectively dried up.

12AM

Code Sample

In file included from mbchar.c:22:

make[3]: *** [mbchar.o] Error 1

I am stumped by coreutils.

Sadly, I have no more time within this weekend to finish this work. Curaga - I can't help you anymore with this uClibc work. I am very sorry about this.

wtf? P4 1.7G takes long to build perl and openssl? I have a (p3) celeron 1066Mhz, and perl takes about 9min and openssl about 6min on my comp...

And as I said, I'm gonna be reading HP now, I can't work on this either, so no hurry..
