If anyone has any suggestions (or better, patches) for these, please
let me know.
- Distribute a copy of libc-lite.so with Yard. Libc.so has become
so large (500K) that this has become desirable again. I don't know how to
create libc-lite, though I've scanned the ELF-Howto and the libc
source code. Is this no longer possible with ELF? From the libc
source code it looks as if the ability has been stripped out, leaving
nothing but a few stubs in the Makefiles.
An alternative to libc-lite is to dynamically create a rescue libc.so
by extracting symbols from the binaries.
- Implement the base+extra option for $disk_set.
This would probably require extensive hacking.
- Better handling of PAM features.
- Better handling of Libc6 (GNU libc).
- I haven't yet done anything about the new GNU Libc-2 (GLIBC)
because it's still experimental. Eventually I'll upgrade and modify
Yard. Until then, here are some notes that other people have written
on getting Yard to work with it:
