Hi everyone, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
There have been several new developments in the Gentoo Linux front. First, |
| 4 |
there is now a new version of Portage available, version 1.6.11. This version |
| 5 |
supports conditional downloads based on USE variables, by using the following |
| 6 |
syntax in SRC_URI: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
SRC_URI="http://www.gentoo.org/foo.tbz2 openssl? http://www.gentoo.org/foo-openssl.patch.gz" |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
We also now have a new Gentoo Linux 1.0_rc6 release -- revision 10. The ISO |
| 11 |
releases have been renamed so that they're "in-sync" with the .tbz2 releases to |
| 12 |
ease confusion (what was going to be -r13.iso is now -r10.iso). |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
This new Gentoo Linux release includes: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
* extensive improvements to the system initialization scripts |
| 17 |
* kernel 2.4.10 with preempt, low-latency, ext3, LVM and ACPI patches applied |
| 18 |
* an ISO with pcmcia-cs commands and modules included |
| 19 |
|

| 29 |
Gentoo Linux yet, and enjoy! |
