I was told recently that you are currently in the process of dumping oskit in favor of uclibc or dietlibc. For my work, I need the log_net server which only compiles with oskit. So I cannot abandon it. Are they any problems or reasons why one shouldn't use oskit? Is it possilble to use a mixed configuration (e.g. compile log_net with oskit and own packages with dietlibc and use them together)?
There are several reasons, some of them are: - oskit is quite fat and complex. The internal COM interface makes it - oskit is not maintained anymore difficult to understand what happens if a new library is added - oskit1.0 is GPL
It should be possible to compile the log_net server using the oskit and compile the other parts of L4env with dietlibc or uClibc. However, it would make much sense to port the log_net interface to the new ore server (l4/pkg/ore). Björn, could you give an estimation about the effort to port log_net to ore?
