Tarballs

[Andrew Waddington]

This POST is for the semi-permanent list of source tarballs.
List of most useful source tarballs.

A big part is version selection, so that the release can be "fixed" soon.
uClibc version 1.0.56 runs very nicely, indeed.
binutils is 2.36, gcc 4.9.2: linux is 4.2 and the config barely has IP (which can go, its a single user system so far).
System42 can be presented statically, or dynamically, includes an rc/init, and comes in three flavours (profile,optimize,reduce). Two of the flavours require additional tarballs.

Packages for Mini GNU/Linux x86_64 Desktop PC System

The words on the left, in the table, are GRouPS; and, the words on the right are
GNU PacKaGes.

     cc:  bc  linux  uClibc  gperf  bison  flex  bash  gmp  mpfr  mpc  isl  binutils  gcc.
   siga:  libsigsegv  zlib  libatomic_ops  e2fsprogs .
   term:  termcap  termutils  ncurses  readline  indent .
   char:  libiconv  libunistring  gettext  re2c .
   conf:  autoconf  automake  texinfo  make  libtool  file .
   lang:   gdbm  perl  libgd  python .
   text:  cpio  uucp  tar  gawk  sed  grep  recutils  gzip  ed  m4 .
     sys:  elfutils  utillinux  coreutils findutils  diffutils  .
  xtr0:  gdb   .

I can alter the groupings and group names, as well as altering the packages
selection; though, I think that packages cannot be removed without impairing
the system's ability to recompile itself.

I could change the versions some, but don't know enough to prefer one version over another.

Caveats:

Not ncurses 6.4 instead 6.3.
libsigsegv 2.15 does build.
