[ANN] CRUX 3.3-rc1 available for testing
Greetings, The CRUX team is pleased to announce the availability of a first release candidate for the upcoming CRUX 3.3. Please note that this is a release candidate, NOT the final release. Please test it if you have a chance and report any problems you find to us! Important details about the upcoming release can be found here: http://crux.nu/Wiki/TODO33 The ISO itself can be found here: https://crux.ninja/crux/crux-3.3-rc1.iso https://crux.ninja/crux/crux-3.3-rc1.md5 Enjoy! Cheers, Matt (for the CRUX team)

Couldn't the ISO be also made available in a compressed form, xz(1) does compress such things very well? For example, the last DragonFly BSD ISO i have downloaded was only 170 MB when compressed with xz, which was about 100 MB smaller than the bz2 that DragonFly makes available. You know, there are people which do not work for a hoster and have a very flaky wireless connection. |Enjoy! I surely will! P.S.: nothing much happened for the start-stop-daemon in the meantime, regarding Linux that is. It now uses asprintf() for paths, but i had a hard time to imagine why this should matter in real life for anything managed by s-s-d, and on CRUX.

I'm afraid it didn't help much. Only down to 529MB Everything on the iso is already compressed. Packages are xz already and the rootfs is compressed too. What makes the 3.3 iso so much larger than previous releases is the inclusion of linux-firmware. -- Fredrik Rinnestam

I will soon have my new box and will be happily running (an up-to-date) CRUX on it! Ciao! --steffen
Thanks downloading it will install it. On Tue, Dec 20, 2016 at 8:32 PM, Matt Housh <jaeger@crux.ninja> wrote:

Please note that this is a release candidate, NOT the final release. Please test it if you have a chance and report any problems you find to us! I installed it in a VM and ran it with qemu. It works fine. I performed an update via prt-get sysup and noticed the nicer output for warnings and errors from gcc...
I did after that a big install of all the ports I have on my current CRUX 3.2. I had a few signature mismatch errors (new feature of CRUX 3.3)... The only ports from opt / xorg which failed to build are: qt4, spidermonkey and clisp. If needed, I can post the log files. It seems CRUX 3.3 is almost there. Congratulations to the team. If I have some time I will clone my current CRUX on a spare partition and perform and upgrade (I never tried this).

I've sent a patch to the qt4 maintainer (sepen) last month. Attaching it for your reference -- Fredrik Rinnestam

Thanks, I was able to extract the patch after some tweaking and qt4 built properly. I then installed Scribus which was the thing wanting qt4. After modifying the kernel configuration, I built krb5 followed by libreoffice and samba without problem. Gimp had build properly but failed to start due to a missing 'machine-id' in /var/lib/dbus. I rebuilt dbus (which was coming from the iso) and the problem was solved. Next step I will launch chromium compilation overnight. After that, I will probably recompile most of the stuff which came from the iso. Basically, I have all the tools I need to work with CRUX 3.3, and it's fast even from a vm... Thanks again.

Heads up with chromium - it crashes on startup currently. Use firefox for now -- Fredrik Rinnestam

I did the upgrade on a cloned partition of my CRUX 3.2 It worked extremely well. I tested a bunch of unrecompiled programs (for example: gimp, scribus, chromium, vlc, ...). They all worked. I had to recompile urxvt which was complaining about a missing perl library to make it start. As Window managers, I used openbox and dwm. I'll keep working from CRUX 3.3 for a while as my /home is on a separate partition... Thanks, Xavier

Thanks,
Xavier Just to add that I noticed the upgrade didn't update the xxx.rsync files in /etc/ports. I modified them manually to point to crux-3.3
Off, for the day. Merry Christmas to all Xavier
