[ECOS] RE: POSIX package for eCos 1.3.1

[Yuan Yu]

Thanks for your reply, Jonathan.  Our application is developed on eCos
1.3.1.  It would be too big an effort to upgrade it to eCos 2.0 for near
term, which will involve other development groups.  Do you know whether
POSIX package is available for eCos 1.3.1?

Thanks again!
Yuan

Don't use eCos 1.3.1. Use at least eCos 2.0: http://ecos.sourceware.org/

Note the correct list address is ecos-discuss@ecos.sourceware.org, not 
ecos-discuss-owner.

No, there were too many other changes required in other packages to 
support it, particularly the kernel package, most of the C library, and 
the addition of the fileio package.

I am fairly confident that irrespective of your groups and dependencies on 
eCos 1.3.1, it would take far longer to try and backport to 1.3.1 than 
just move to 2.0.
