Finally getting around to touching some of my work with rebuilding this in the past, I decided to take this approach again for various reasons. 

The core packages that I have identified as being useful to most people in the 21st century are about 352 from the current repository. We will probably have 4-5 additional for infrastructure purposes, including new GCC releases. My plan for Nekoware is still to maintain MIPSPro basis on various packages, only using GCC versions 4.9.5 and 8.2 as needed. These versions were picked for various reasons, but the main one is for simplicity and being "easy" to compile. Because of various reasons my idea of a GCC SDK did not prove as simplistic or well thought out primarily because of the use of libgcc.so in the need for multiple bootstraps resulting in a situation where you have a lot of interdependent libraries. That doesn't mean that such a thing won't come to fruition one day but I am hesitant but a new release of nekoware should include such a thing. 

Any new release is going to take a while. Don't know how long until I start digging into it again but one of the major things is going to be jumping versions and documenting/fixing various dependences. 

The new version will still use gettext and GNU iconv in an attempt to be drop in, but some of the main differences are is that I won't be rebuilding any GNOME, KDE, webserver or other ancillary packages. This is both done to optimize things, as I anticipate at first I will be the primary maintainer and tester of a lot of this, and to simplify things.
