Greetings, The CRUX team is pleased to announce the first release candidate of the upcoming CRUX 3.0. More than 11 years after the release of CRUX 0.5 for i686, CRUX 3.0 will be the first release for the x86_64 architecture as per the 'CRUX next II' email at [1]. We do not have release notes yet, so some notes below: - an update from 2.8 i686 to 3.0 is possible but you have to rebuild all installed packages that are not part of the ISO - we will continue to update the CRUX 2.8 repositories for the near future but encourage all users to update to 3.0 - a 32bit compatibility ports tree is available but not enabled by default (/etc/ports/compat-32.rsync.inactive) - enable CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION in your kernel configuration, without that option you are not able to build 32bit stuff, even a chroot into a 32bit system, e.g. CRUX 2.8, is not possible without it! - don't reject /etc/pkgmk.conf, important extensions have been added Please give it a try and report any issues! Download the ISO from here: http://crux.nu/files/pre-releases/crux-3.0-rc1.iso http://crux.nu/files/pre-releases/crux-3.0-rc1.md5 Thanks and best regards Juergen, for the CRUX team [1] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributions.crux.devel/2304

Re: CRUX Digest, Vol 99, Issue 3

Thank you Fredrik Rinnestam for the answer. For now I would like to install apache, I will try to copy all the files in the production server after that. Just point to where I can get the right apache package to be installed. I don't know how to use GIT or even ports. http://www.nehemoth.com https://twitter.com/nehemoth When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been and there you will always long to return. — Leonardo da Vinci

Help with old CRUX Server
by Grimaldy Soto 13 Dec '12

13 Dec '12

Hi there. We have an old Crux server installation, 2.4 to be exactly running Apache. Did server as installed by an Ex-employee on an archaic hardware which from time to time crash, so before everything stop working we would like to 'replicate' everything in another server, this time a virtual one. After some compilation issues we manage to install and configure CRUX but we need to install the same software versions installed in the another server like Apache, version apache 2.2.8-1, the only problem here is that I could not find the package nowhere anymore. In essence I would like to know how to get this version of apache or get a similar one or in what way could I import and export that configuration from my production server to the new one. Hope you can point me in the right direction.

CRUX MATE
by Chris Kruger 12 Dec '12

Hi there CRUX Folks, Just a quick announcement about our CRUX MATE repository. Matt H. and I have been slowly putting it together and I think it's at the point now where we'd be happy to encourage others to make use of it. I've personally been very satisfied with MATE as a Desktop Environment. If you've not heard of MATE you can find out more about it here. http://mate-desktop.org The repository URL: http://crux-mate.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ The quickstart documentation https://code.google.com/p/crux-mate/ We know it's not perfect so please report bugs and problems so we can move it in the right direction! Also a quick question; how does one get their repository listed on the CRUX ports db page? Chris K.
