Tiny Core 12.0 Alpha 1 Testing

(1/10) > >>

Juanito:
Team Tiny Core is pleased to announce that Tiny Core 12.0 Alpha1 is available for public testing:

http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/12.x/x86/release_candidates/distribution_files
http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/12.x/x86_64/release_candidates/distribution_files

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.

We appreciate testing and feedback.

Changelog for 12.0 alpha1:
* kernel updated to 5.10.3
* glibc updated to 2.32
* gcc updated to 10.2.0
* binutils updated to 2.35.1
* e2fsprogs base libs/apps updated to 1.45.6
* util-linux base libs/apps updated to 2.36.1
* tc-functions: version changes from andyj
* version: changes from andyj
* shutdown.sh: clarifying comment
* busybox-aliases: additions from bdantas
* filetool.sh: comments from bdantas
* tce-setup: remove neeedless timestamp from bdantas
* tce-config: more precise /opt copying from bdantas
* tce-config: rename autoscan from polikuo
* tc-config: similar awk rounding
* init: avoid awk rounding
* filetool.sh: dc syntax change fix from watt
* tce-audit: search fix from lhaley42

Note:

* we discovered a bug whereby busybox modprobing any module for the 5.10 kernel prints the message "Module has invalid ELF header", but the module is loaded anyway
* the libffi and readline extensions have been updated - this will break a lot of extensions, so fallback libffi6 and readline7 extensions have been created.

andyj:
I realize that starting out there will not be many extensions, but Xorg-7.7 has a dependency on libxkbfile which is missing in the 32-bit and 64-bit repos so Xorg is a non-starter.

andyj:
No squashfs-tools either which makes building extensions a little more challenging.

jazzbiker:
Thanks to Core Team and congratulations to all of us!

I see hwclock not system time on my 32-bit system:

--- Code: ---sudo hwclock -s -u
hwclock: settimeofday: Invalid argument
echo $?
1

--- End code ---

while kernel is serving rtc and tz correctly


--- Code: ---tc@box:~$ hwclock
Mon Jan  4 15:44:51 2021  0.000000 seconds
tc@box:~$ hwclock -u
Mon Jan  4 17:45:00 2021  0.000000 seconds
tc@box:~$ date
Mon Jan  4 17:45:09 EET 2021
tc@box:~$ echo $TZ
EET-2EEDT-3,M3.5.0/3,M10.5.0/4

--- End code ---

libc.pdf says:
The struct timezone type is obsolete and should never be used.
