Rate this project
(--)
|
A new beta of rPath Linux has been released: "rPath Linux 0.99.4 is now available for download. It contains Conary 0.94, and OpenOffice.org 2.0.1 in order to support OpenDocument format. Many packages were rebuilt to use automatic Perl and Python dependencies. Unfortunately, moving to the new OpenOffice.org required us to provide three ISO images instead of two. As we approach the end of our beta testing, we would like to encourage the most extensive testing you are willing to do." The kernel was also updated to version 2.6.15.2. For a more detailed list of important changes please refer to the release announcement. The three ISO images for i386 and x86_64 architectures are currently available for download from the distribution's main server, but should also propagate to mirror sites within the next day or two.

| About rPath
|
| rPath Linux is a Linux distribution built with the new Conary distributed software management system. Conary is designed, based on many years of Linux software packaging and distribution development experience, to automate many of the tasks that have made it difficult to build Linux distributions. rPath's mission is to provide system software that is easily tailored to suit unique application needs. rPath Linux, built with the Conary distributed software management system, is not only a distribution in its own right, but also a base technology explicitly designed to enable you to create purpose-built operating system images using the rBuilder Online technology.

Development Release: rPath Linux 2 Alpha 4 |
|
Michael K. Johnson has announced the availability of a new alpha release of rPath Linux 2: "The fourth alpha snapshot toward rPath Linux 2 has been released. It is very different from all previous snapshots. It has been trimmed down into a smaller, more focused, better base for appliances: smaller kernel, smaller group of core software for an installed system. It is available in our new 'appliance installer' format, in which package selection is not enabled and installation is much faster and requires much less memory. It has a new compiler and toolchain, and has been completely rebuilt from source using the rMake build tool. In addition, it includes newer versions of many included software components."

Development Release: rPath Linux 2 Alpha 3 |

Michael K. Johnson has announced the third alpha release of rPath Linux 2, an independent distribution with a unique software management infrastructure: "The third development snapshot in the rPath Linux 2 Alpha release process has been made available. Most of the software included in the distribution has been updated, and it has been completely rebuilt from source since the second development snapshot.
