|
A rolling release can mean quite often that an ISO is outdated soon. That was shown quickly after the second Archimedes release from 4 weeks ago. After that release it was time to update a lot of base packages, including the toolchain and the glib2 stack, those updates broke some parts of that ISO, so a third Archimedes is released today.
For all changes, please read the Release Notes.
And as always, the Chakra-Project is pleased to present this latest release.
Release Notes
The Chakra-Project is proud to announce the third Archimedes release, this codename follows the KDE SC 4.8 series.
As with the previous release, Chakra is no longer shipping a GUI for package management. Appset-qt was the GUI for pacman, but was not handling complex updates as should, so it is dropped from this ISO. In the initial phase of using a build from scratch package manager, there will be no GUI for package management either, so this is a good time to let any user get accustomed to this situation. Pacman is the cli frontend for package management, the online package viewer is there for additional info and searches. With this release KDE is updated to 4.8.3, a new toolchain including gcc 4.7 and glibc 2.15, updated glib2 stack, latest nvidia and catalyst, updated sqlite3/unixodbc/python group, to name a few of the newer base packages included. These base updates made it so that the second Archimedes release is no longer usable for bundles, thus a new ISO needed.
Chakra is offering a DVD and CD version. The CD version gets you to a minimal working KDE desktop, with only a text-editor, file-manager, web-browser and a simple media player installed, no further apps, no language packs. The DVD version includes all the language packs, most of standard KDE apps, the all new calligra 2.4.0 has replaced libre-office, amarok, kde-telepathy, spideroak , printer support, minitube, k3b to name a few.
With this release we offer:
- KDE 4.8.3
- Linux 3.2.8 (3.0.22 optional)
- Qt 4.8.1
- DVD image, including all locales and a nice selections of apps
- minimal CD image you can build your desktop on
- tomoyo-tools 2.5 added to a default install, for more security options
- wqy-microhei became the new default font for Chinese/Japanese/Korean
- QtWebkit 2.2.1
- New toolchain, including gcc 4.7 and glib2 2.15
- Switch to kmod
You can install additional packages from our repositories.
A good start is to read our Wiki or visit our Forums. To create reliable installation media, please follow the instructions in the wiki. Chakra's ISO's do not support unetbootin, and CD/DVD's need a burn speed no higher then 4x.
