Hello,
I just build the new RC7 with some ports added to it:
- pkg-get
- sudo
- bindutils
It can be dowloaded from the downloads section with the new pre-packaged
toolchains.
Changelogs can be found here: http://crux-arm.nu/doc/?ReleaseNotes-2.6_temp
Waiting comments, suggestions and problems.
Best regards, Victor.

Hi!
I tested the noeabi flavour of RC6 in my HP Jornada 720 and qemu, and
both of them worked fine!
I think core is now more stable and the best ever, but as we talked many
times at irc channel we should add a package manager like pkg-get, so
after the installation people could continue completing their systems
with hosted packages instead of compiling new ones. This would be
helpful for slow devices, or devices with less than 64MB of ram, where
compile a port in some cases is not recommended.
I made some tests with our package collections and it worked as I expected.
pkg-get is so fast solving dependencies at client side, but it depends
on perl, so we should test all features and options to be sure.
Also pkg-repgen needs a patch (where I'm working on) to avoid getting
extra info (dependencies, README files and pre/post install scripts)
from the prt-get's stuff installed at host. I think I could have this
patch before the end of the week.
So with this port I think we can tie up 2.6 development (core), then
release RC7 and make a final test. If all goes well RC7 will become our
final 2.6 release. At this point it would be good to publish a new
tarball for each toolchain, which *could* be used to create more packages.
I've forgotten something?
Best regards,
