=== Freon build script ===

Simple script that, as of right now, builds Freon Linux distribution that is shipped with glibc, busybox, and a hand full of other utilities.

Changelog:

  • v0.6.0: Additional packages added to repository. Updated OS mirror.txt file for mirror.freonlinux.com. Includes package information files in pkginfo/
  • v0.5.0: Removed TCC, and slowly will be making build-extensions obsolete. As for now, dropbear, chttpd, sic, ii, busybox, glibc, libz, and grub are built into the distribution. Working & building on a Debian testing (bullseye) x86_64 install. Kernel update to 5.9.1, busybox update to 1.32.0, and added some IRC related programs.
  • v0.4.2: Adding some functionality to thaw (package manager). Using TinyCoreLinux 9.x package repository for some extension to the OS without bloating the disk size.
  • v0.4.1: Added a couple of utilities to build-extensions. dropbear SSH2 client, htop, as well as reconfiguring chttpd for web hosting.
  • v0.4.0: Freon Linux is now functional with the capabilities of installing on most hardware. Kernel is mostly static, no modules for devices. Also included the following updates: kernel-5.1.12 update, liblzma is built in for grub2, and some software added in build-extensions.
