System :: Operating System :: Linux Distributions :: CD-Based
About: The STUBS Toolchain and Utility Build Suite is a set of scripts
which, together with a set of pre-written configuration files, builds one
or more software packages in sequence. STUBS is designed to work in very
minimal environments, including those without "make", and URLs are included
so source and patches can be downloaded as necessary. Configuration files
and scripts are provided which create boot media for Franki/Earlgrey Linux
(one of several example busybox- and uClibc-based Linux environments) and
the intention is that STUBS should be able to rebuild such an environment
from within itself.
Changes: This release obsoletes v0.8.0 and v0.9.5. Configuration files
were checked for failing "patch" commands during the build, and non-working
URLs were replaced. The generation of "ldd" for the chroot environments was
fixed.
