staff blogs

distributed.net staff keep (relatively) up-to-date logs of their activities in .plan files. These were traditionally available via finger, but we've put them on the web for easier consumption.

I can belatedly announce the release of dnetc458-linux-ppc-static-mt. A
few notes:

* Built on MkLinux-pre-R1 with gcc 2.95.3 and statically linked against
glibc2.1.3. Hopefully there are no resolver issues, although, now that
I’ve upgraded, I no longer have a glibc2.0 machine on which to test.

* This is the first mt linux-ppc port.

* No AltiVec support. I won’t be able to add AltiVec support to the client
until the kernel supports AltiVec. This support appears to be far from
ready, although admittedly I don’t follow the kernel development lists
that closely.

The glibc2.0, nomt linux-ppc client is on the FTP sites.

A glibc2.1 mt client will hopefully follow shortly, but I need to
upgrade my build machine first. I won’t be incorporating the AltiVec
cores until binutils supports AltiVec.

To shrink the to-do list.

(No, the to-do list is not publically available.)
