ROCK at the Chemnitzer Linux Days

 

The ROCK project will have a booth at the upcoming Chemnitzer Linux Days

from 5th to 6th of March.

If you happen to be there you are invited to drop by at the booth in the

distribution area.

 

 

www.Rocklinux.net .com .org domains

 

As discussed on 21C3 and now completed, the control over the domains

- rocklinux.com

- www.rocklinux.net

- rocklinux.org

has finally been reestablish in mid February. Thanks to everyone involved in

this process the road for easy to remember subdomains is now cleared.

At the time of this writing, though, no decision over subdomains has been made.

Unmaintained packages

 

Packages that were left unmaintained due to the leave of developers have been

moved into the base/ repository where appropriate. Others were moved to some

developers personal repositories and the rest to a newly created public/

repository. All packages in the public/ repository are up for grabs for

maintainers. Adopt a package today :-)

This is also a good place to start if you want to be a ROCK developer.

KDE update in stable / change of versioning scheme of ROCK

 

Tobias suggested updating KDE in the stable tree from version 3.2.3 to 3.3.2

This has caused some off-list discussion which eventually led to the

suggestion of revising the versioning system used by ROCK because the stable

and unstable trees have some deep changes between them without a new release

in sight. No consens has yet been reached.
