Bent Linux: small simple distro, statically linked against uClibc The original work in Bent Linux --- the bpm software packaging tools and the spec files written for them --- is copyright 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 Bennett Todd, and is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License. News: 2006-07-04 switched from darcs to git News: 2005-05-29 added ppc News: 2005-05-18 1.2 -> i386 In anticipation of adding ppc, and recognition that the previous Bent Linux revisions are so stale as to not be of interest (and so the 1.2 version number no longer communicates anything interesting), I've moved the 1.2 dir, containing the built bpms, to i386. News: 2005-02-19 marks 1.2. The major change is bpm 0.8 -> 0.9, sha1 file to sha256 for manifest; and 1.2 no longer has separate subdirs, bpmdist is replaced by the darcs repository. News: 2004-10-10 marks the splitting off of version 1.1. The major change is that uClibc is updated, and built without any dynamic libs at all, hence no libdl. See HINTS for a collection of assorted notes that might make it easier to do something with Bent Linux If you are interested in being notified of major changes, please email the author, , and he'll add you to a notification list. I just added a darcs dir, which I'm hoping will be a darcs repository I'll keep all my work in; if so, it will take over for the bpmdist trees; eventually I may try and import them under darcs. Darcs users can "darcs get http://bent.latency.net/bent/darcs/" to grab a copy of the darcs repo. Without the sources that bpmbuild will automatically download, it's only about 5.3MB as of this writing. Based on the darcs version control, I've set up an RSS feed of the patches -- just patch names, no descriptions, but I try to name them meaningfully. Bpm packages work fine on most any Linux; I've added bpm2rpm to the bpm package.
