@ -10,6 +10,28 @@ in many ways, currently there are 1500 packages in this repository that you can
|
|||
build. There is support for i686 and x86_64 architectures, more
|
||||
could be added in a future (arm) but it's not a high priority.
|
||||
|
||||
Some features:
|
||||
- Rolling release.
|
||||
- Uses the latest stable Linux kernel, development snapshot from kernel.org
|
||||
can also be installed in parallel.
|
||||
- Kernel images/modules aren't never removed to always have a bootable system.
|
||||
- Uses a modified "initramfs-tools" version from Debian to handle initial
|
||||
ramdisk images.
|
||||
- Uses a modified "casper" version from Ubuntu to create Live images.
|
||||
- Uses a modified "OpenRC" version from Gentoo to handle init/boot process.
|
||||
- Uses /run directory as tmpfs by default, with symlinks to /tmp, /var/tmp,
|
||||
/var/lock, /var/run, /dev/shm.
|
||||
- It's not a fork or customized version of any distro, it has been created
|
||||
from scratch and making it a lightweight alternative. Base system takes
|
||||
150MB approximately.
|
||||
- Uses its own binary package system: XBPS. It's a fast alternative to Debian's
|
||||
dpkg/apt, RedHat's RPM, ArchLinux' pacman, etc.
|
||||
- Uses a BSD port-like system to build binary packages in chroot jails,
|
||||
without requiring root permissions. Use your ordinary user and don't mess
|
||||
with your real system!
|
||||
- You don't need wrappers to wrappers to the XBPS utils to rebuild/reinstall
|
||||
packages. The provided tools is all what you need.
|
||||
|
||||
When a new XBPS stable version comes out, a new live image is created for
|
||||
testing purposes with the minimal base system, you can find them at:
