piCore16 Beta

<< < (2/4) > >>

mortegai:
Updated piCore64 to 16.x from 15.x on RPi4
Updated existing extensions.
Everything works correctly, except that exittc (TC Exit Options) defaults to Safe when I have the BACKUP="0" environment variable set.

Rich:
Hi mortegai
I see the issue. Will submit a fix.

Hi mortegai
I've moved this particular issue to its own thread:
https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,27643.0.html

I'm asking for anyone with C++ experience to please take a
look and provide me with some guidance.

I have not looked at the beta yet but had a quick look at the alpha.

I may checkout the beta, I had quite a few problems with the alpha but cannot remember in detail  exactly what now, but main thing I thought was why was the extension partition so small??

I resized it, but it should not be necessary, and also it was not any size that made up a usual SD card size (i.e. 64m, 128m, 256m, ....) could have added another 32m to the partition and it been within the 128mb of SD card multiple. That would just make it simpler to add the few extra tcz that I need.
 
Which is another annoyance I have about a seperate extensions partition, why have it?

Why not just put the extensions on the main fat boot filesystem?

I know maybe there are reasons for security or file access speed etc, but it would be nice to have a 'standard' for dropping tcz packages into the windows accessable boot partition. I normally create a 'packages' directory and have a script to check.

Is there some reason it has not been standardised?

I had some problems with wifi setup as an access point I think maybe because configfs was not mounted module would not load or something like that, I did not sort it but if I look at the beta maybe will post details.

I think there were also some errors about invalid ELF headers in dmesg output whcih maybe due to some special kernel modules I compiled or could be busybox as I had to compile that for some extra tools required.

I suppose what I say is not much use as rather vague, but when I check out the beta I may give details if I have problems.

Main thing I think could be changed from the alpha is the partition size or add a simple tool to resize it.

patrikg:
Take a look at Alpine Linux I think you have only one big FAT partition for Rasberry Pi.
