Hello CRUX maintainers,
Hey,
our last CRUX release is nearly a half year ago, so I thought it might be a good idea to think about a new one. Moreover, there are new major releases of all parts of our standard toolchain.
[..]
Question is how to proceed, I think we have the options to make a update-only release within a short timeframe or put more new, fancy stuff (which one?) in it and, of course, do nothing. Please comment.
Apart from the toolchain / kernel updates, I'd like to see some additional work for 2.4. Full UTF-8 support comes out of my mind (see our tracker); I lack some knowledge on this matter so I'm not sure if some config option is enough or rather we have to ensure all the ports supports UTF-8 where available. I also vote for xorg 7.3 (more in my reply to Tilman's post). Time permitting, I think merging with Matt's livecd would be great, maybe together with a simple remote install option. We can just leave this out if it turns out too time consuming, I prefer to put out a release sooner than later as you seem to support. I suggest we write in this thread what we'd like to add to next release, vote / discuss if needed and move the results to the wiki or better to the bug tracker: - UTF-8 X - Xorg 7.3 X - LiveCD X Finally, I think we'd benefit from setting an estimated release date / period, i.e. the beginning of october is my guess.
