Would you be sticking to the nearest LTS version? What are the plans for
next 2-3 years?
How much time do you estimate for preparing upgraded packages after
every official release of Ubuntu?
How much glue is used to hold to crazy ubuntu half-year overhaul cycle?
Is p:d a serious distro (second base system change last time...)?
I really want to have my own tweaks (drivers, settings, software like
Veejay) without breaking-searching-patching-repairing cycle after every
dist-upgrade.
Will there be "pure pack" that will automate purifying process on Ubuntu
installation?
How huge are differences between p:d and ubuntustudio?
Or just keep coding...
Cheers,
Luke

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
