We do NOT want to use LTIB (supplied by Freescale) to create one (for multiple reasons - including the same as ELDK).
Can you elaborate on what issues you have with ELDK/LTIB, is it just =20 package support? If so it might be useful for the developers to know =20 what packages you're interested in. Or if there are other issues =20 with them. LTIB uses busybox and in general seems very limited in its support (as well as currently backdated in terms of kernel support).=20 ELDK has an incredible set of packages that it supports, but=20 things like many of the scripting languages support (e.g.: PERL), additional security libraries(e.g.: ipsec), general network=20 libraries (e.g.: libpcap), and some network utilities (e.g.: wget). Individually, none of these are serious, but altogether it's a lot to manage - if I had 1 stop shopping, I might go there instead of=20 with the ever incredible ELDK! <snip rest>
