piCore 5.0.alpha1
bmarkus:
I'm pleased to announce piCore 5.0.alpha1 for the Raspberry Pi. Change log to previous 4.x release:
- common TC 5 script base
- eglibc 2.18
- kernel 3.10.10
- busybox 1.21.1
- zlib 1.2.8
- e2fsprogs 1.42.8
- util-linux 2.23.2
- added bcrypt to base
- dropped scm type extension support
- cleanup, unneded files removed
- file reorganization
- updated Broadcom firmware
Kernel 3.10.10 brings many new features, drivers, etc. Goal of this release is to test new core specially USB and WiFi. Toolchain and Xorg is out of scope. Apps in 4.x repo expected to work, cli apps copied over to 5.x repo (in progress).
Installation method unchanged.

Hi bmarkus, thanks for this.
It is god timing, because i have tried the whole morning to build a new kernel (3.10.10), however, I had some problems as some of the modules seems to be located at other places compared to the previous versions.
I will test it and report back.
A few questions:
1. Is the wifi package updated so that it can be installed on this version?
2. And what about the alsa package?
3. Will the dep2tc import tool work now as we are at version 5.0?
