Welcome to the official Vanilla GNU/Linux git repository. ================================================================= Vanilla GNU/Linux is a new distribution that uses XBPS as its package system, The X Binary Package System has been designed from scratch, please visit http://code.google.com/p/xbps for more information. Vanilla GNU/Linux is a simple and minimal distribution that can be customized in many ways. Currently there are ~1500 packages in the stable repository that you can build. There is support for i686 and x86_64 architectures, more may be added in a future (i.e. ARM) but it's not a high priority. Some features: - It's not a fork or customized version of any distro, it has been created from scratch making it an extremely lightweight distro. Base install is approximately 150MB. - Rolling release. - Uses the latest stable Linux kernel. The development snapshot from kernel.org can also be installed in parallel. - Kernel images/modules are never removed, providing an always-bootable system. - Uses a modified "initramfs-tools" version from Debian to handle initial ramdisk images. - Uses a modified "casper" version from Ubuntu to boot from live images. - Uses a modified "OpenRC" version from Gentoo to handle the init/boot process. - Uses /run directory as tmpfs by default, with symlinks to /tmp, /var/tmp, /var/lock, /var/run, /dev/shm. - Uses its own binary package system: XBPS -- A faster/leaner alternative to Debian's dpkg/apt, RedHat's RPM, ArchLinux's Pacman, etc. - You don't need wrappers of wrappers for the XBPS utils to rebuild/reinstall packages. The provided tools are all that you need. - Uses a BSD port-like system to build binary packages in chroot jails without requiring root permissions. This allows building packages as a regular user without interfering with your installed system! When a new stable XBPS version comes out, a new live image is created for testing purposes along with the minimal base system. You can find the Live Images at: http://xbps.nopcode.org/vanilla/live/ If you have questions or contributions please use the google groups forum: http://groups.google.com/group/xbps or join us at irc.freenode.net #xbps. Enjoy and happy hacking!
