| 5 <p><a href=downloads/firmware-0.2.1.tar.bz2>Version 0.2.1</a> is out | |
| 6 (changeset 156). Significant upgrades to armv4l: the native compiler works | |
| 7 now, and it's using soft-float. Added armv5l and i586 targets to show how | |
| 8 to do that kind of variant. Added preliminary powerpc support (although | |
| 9 qemu can't run it yet). Reorganized the download directory and rewrote | |
| 10 the <a href=downloads/README>README</a>. Added squashfs back (the kernel | |
| 11 supports it, but it's not using it yet). Moved uClibc to miniconfig. | |
| 12 (Yes, the patch for this is huge, and yes I need to push it all upstream into | |
| 13 the Linux kernel. On the bright side, this one builds on a host that doesn't | |
| 14 have curses installed.) Stopped trying to build qemu (at least until they | |
| 15 get the gcc 3.x dependencies cleaned out), now just warn if it's not there | |
| 16 (so far the build only uses it to sanity-test the cross compiler, which is | |
| 17 now skipped automatically if it's not there).</p> | |

| 19 <p>I note that some versions of Ubuntu (Edgy and up) are pushing a political | |
| 20 agenda. They install bash, but point /bin/sh to dash instead. (So why | |
| 21 install bash if you're not going to use it?) This breaks all sorts of things, | |
| 22 and if somebody can tell me how to force make to run "/bin/bash" instead of | |
| 23 "/bin/sh", I'll consider trying to deal with the mess. Until then, I suggest | |
| 24 "rm /bin/sh; ln -s bash /bin/sh" to get a working system. (I'm no fan of | |
| 25 bash, but dash is just broken.)</p> | |

| 27 <p>(Those of you who use vi and want to be able to use the cursor keys while | |
| 28 in insert mode might want to do something similar with vi->vim. Ubuntu seems | |
| 29 to be trying to train users to change their habits. Dog biscuits would be a | |
| 30 more honest approach.)</p> | |
