After the 18C3 (18th Chaos Communication Congress) the ROCK Linux developers agreed on a major redesign of many parts of the ROCK Linux build system. With these changes, it was made possible to modify many aspects of the build process for a variety of targets.
Two years later, ROCK Linux 2.0 was ready for prime time and released during the "Chemnitzer Linux Tag" in early 2004. It implemented the following new aspects:
- Combining several Distributions (called targets) in one source tree thus keeping them in sync automatically and cutting time for updating packages essentially in half.
- Having one team developing on the same project instead of two teams developing on almost identical projects drastically increased development.
-
Having hardware for different architectures together in one project thus being able to support a wider range of architectures.
After the release of ROCK Linux 2.0.2 (for which there were no binaries made available) the maintainer Rene Rebe left ROCK Linux and Tobias Hintze took over maintenance.
