Greetings from (not_so)sunny Gijon, Spain! We are in the middle of a week-long code sprint where we aim to upgrade, update and improve the system. Eight of us are here working hard (when we're not eating tapas and drinking sidra) and we wanted to take a break to let you know what we're working on.
We're aiming for an autumn release of the next version of Puredyne, Carrot & Coriander. The biggest change you'll see in this release is that the system will now be built using Ubuntu packages while still powered by the great Debian live system that we have been using so far. As a consequence we have started a migration of our packages to a Puredyne PPA. And you are more than welcome to join the effort if you already have one and would like to contribute some packages. Come see us on IRC for a chat! (irc.goto10.org #puredyne) We hope this move will mean more stability for the users and allow more developers to contribute to the project via launchpad. We'll try our best to make sure the system stays as fast, minimal and pared down as possible in this move, and keep all the things you love about Puredyne in tact. As a matter of fact we have already made a couple of ISO using this new system, and everything is going fine. If you're running the current system, you can continue to use it but you won't be able to upgrade your packages. If you'd like to use the next release, you'll simply have to download the new Puredyne when released and use the built-in installer to install it on your hard-drive (really easy, couple of clicks and your're done). Our new ISO generator, broth (the mother of all soups), is already working with the new system and we have started some early tests to build puredyne for multiple architecture (more on that later...) Ciao! The Puredyne developers | |'`'. .''. .. | ' .' '. .` '. |-----`.----.'------- '------------. | '..' `. ' | `..' | --- [email protected] irc.goto10.org #pure:dyne
