Tiny Core 9.0 Alpha 1 Testing

(1/6) > >>

Juanito:
Team Tiny Core is pleased to announce that Tiny Core 9.0 Alpha1 is available for public testing:

http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/9.x/x86/release_candidates/
http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/9.x/x86_64/release_candidates/

This is an alpha level cut. If you decide to help test, then please test carefully. We don't want anyone to lose data.

Since this is an alpha cut, we ask that only experienced users test. This cut is not for general use. The features in any alpha are not fixed and may change before a public release candidate is available.

Most extensions have been copied over from the 8.x repo

We appreciate testing and feedback.

If you use distribution files note that you need a new vmlinuz and core.gz (or rootfs.gz + modules.gz)

Changelog for 9.0 alpha1:
* kernel updated to 4.14.10
* glibc updated to 2.26
* gcc updated to 7.2.0
* e2fsprogs base libs/apps updated to 1.43.7
* util-linux base libs/apps updated to 2.31

***
The Meltdown vulnerability affecting Intel processors affects this version. As long as you only run code you trust, there is no issue to test.

Please add firmware-openfwwf.tcz

Juanito:
The firmware extensions are being worked on - hopefully coming soon

Open-vm-tools will not compile, complaining about missing xdr* functions. These are supposed to be in libc, or at least they are on my Slackware system where I can dump symbols. Did they move / get broken out into a different library? Also, where can I get a copy of the kernel config file?

Rich:
Hi andyj
glibc_base-dev.tcz  contains  xdr.h,  maybe that's what you are looking for?
