Announcements

LEAF Bering-uClibc 6.1.0-alpha is available for testing

  • Posted by: kapeka on 05 March 2017

Bering-uClibc-6.1.0-alpha1 provides major updates for our build base, a major kernel upgrade and various other improvements.

  • uClibc-ng has been upgraded to 1.0.22

  • root.lrp and config.lrp has been merged into initrd.lrp

  • the huge libinconv package (approx 600kb) has been replaced by the uClibc-ng implementation (adding a few kb to initrd.lrp)

  • gcc has been updated to 5.4.0

  • binutils has been updated to 2.27

The kernel has been updated to new LTS version 4.9

Two new packages has been added: ca-certificates, providing a list of Certification Authorities. It is based on the Debian package, which itself provides the ones from Mozilla (version 20161130)

dehydrated: An ACME client implementation for Let’s Encrypt (https://letsencrypt.org/)

Of the other updated packages, the important will be shorewall, updated to 5.1.1, where /etc/shorewall/masq has been replaced with /etc/shorewall/snat and a slightly newer syntax: old (masq): eth0 192.168.1.0/24 new (snat): MASQUERADE eth0 192.168.1.0/24

Therefor you’ll need to run “shorewall update” before reboot; have a look into the eventual error messages and resolve issues, save the configuration before reboot. After reboot remove /etc/shorewall/masq.bak and save the config again to get rid of that file.

Pls note: Currently only x86 platforms are supported.
