Hallo Benny!   
      
    BP> precompiled systems is not what i like to see here   
      
   Huh?  None of what is running here is precompiled.  It is all built from   
   source on the target machine.   
      
    BP> why did ipv6 not work for last 20 years then ?   
      
   That I don't know.  I have yet to use or need ipv6 so I never knew it wasn't   
   working.   
      
    BP> systemd is only optional   
      
   That is a good thing.  Everytime I've checked systemd it never works as good   
   as sysvinit on a purely console based system.  I can easily live without it.   
      
    BP> still freezed on 2.26 here   
      
   I've managed to get 2.27 working since the start of 2018.  Given the issues   
   with 2.28 it looks like I'll be frozen on 2.27 for awhile.   
      
    BP> are this precompiled or just patches ?   
      
   git source.  It just needs to be bootstrapped with the latest gnulib and then   
   compiled from there.  I just discovered that I can get away with the latest   
   stable m4 source bootstrapped to the latest gnulib but not so with either   
   findutils and gzip.  I haven't gotten far enough along to know what else might   
   be broken using glibc-2.27.9000.  So far I have only compiled;
