Currently, when both libnss and GnuTLS are present, NetworkManager will get linked to libnss. The NetworkManager project doesn't recommend one over the other officially and has supported both from day one back in 2007. Arguments which one to prefer can be made in either direction: Points in favor of libnss: - It's the default value in the NM build system, so it would be the preferred backend if both are available and we didn't supply any options to the build process - It's probably the more mature of the two, given that it's being used in Mozilla products Points in favor of GnuTLS: - While both backends seem feature-equivalent, the _nm_crypto_verify_pkcs8 function is stubbed out in the libnss code[1]. - Both Debian and Fedora explicitly select GnuTLS in their packages. At least in the case of Fedora it seems to have been a conscious choice[2]. Given what it's actually used for in the code base, the choice does not matter a lot. However, since it is marginally more feature-complete and seems to be preferred by other distributions, let's switch to GnuTLS.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at https://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on OFTC IRC.
