(1/4) > >>

Juanito:
Team Tiny Core is pleased to announce that Tiny Core 8.1 rc1 is available for public testing:

http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/8.x/x86/release_candidates/
http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/8.x/x86_64/release_candidates/

This is a release candidate. If you decide to help test, then please test carefully. We don't want anyone to lose data.

We appreciate testing and feedback.

Changelog for 8.1 rc1:
* busybox updated 1.25.1 -> 1.27.1
* busybox CONFIG_FEATURE_SYSLOGD_READ_BUFFER_SIZE=512 re-established
* duplicated busybox syminks removed

andyj:
Could we add LZMA support to busybox? I've come across a number of RPM's that rpm2cpio can't process. Binaries compiled for OpenSUSE seem to be the most compatible with TC, e.g. not looking for wierd library names.

So far it looks like the syslog issue has been fixed. Thanks.

Hi andyj
Would installing  liblzma.tcz  solve that? If not,  rpm2cpio  is also available in  xarchiver.tcz  and probably does support  LZMA.

andyj:
Liblzma is already installed, but busybox doesn't use it. Xarchiver didn't like the RPM, and it's a GUI anyway with X and GTK dependencies whichs makes it a non-starter. The RedHat version of rpm2cpio used by Slackware works, so it seems like it should theoretically be possible.

Yes, but did you try running the  usr/local/bin/rpm2cpio  that comes with it? It that works you could pull it out of the package.
