Andraž “ruskie” Levstik has posted to the mailinglists with the results of the voting for the Tome Team Lead position. The results are that the only nominee, Elisamuel “ryuji” Resto (yes, me) was elected as the new Tome Team Lead. You can follow the thread on Gmane, where the aims were discussed, among other things.

This one is a little delayed.

Arwed “alley_cat” von Merkatz has announced to the sm-discuss mailinglist that stable-rc 0.25 has been cut and uploaded to the main distro servers.

One thing to note is that the recent merge of modualr Xorg was not included in this cycle, as there is a need to let it soak in test for at least a month before including in the stable release, to iron out obvious bugs. Arwed’s message follows.

“Hi everyone,

stable-rc 0.25 is cut and ready for testing. There’s the usual wiki page for those who want to help testing.
This release was cut from the point before the xorg-modular merge, as we want this one to stay in test for a month.

The release will be released on September 15th if nothing major gets in the way.

Tarballs have been created and are on the master server, should make it to the mirrors in a few hours.
I’m working on the x86 chroot now, volunteers for x86_64 are welcome.

As always don’t forget to file any bugs against our bug tracker so we can fix and integrate any bugs/issues.

Let’s give this new stable-rc a good testing!”

As Andraž “ruskie” Levstik mentioned on a previous post:

“This is a blast from the past. A lead that went missing but might be found again.”

This time, the Tome team has gotten some attention. The nominations are now closed and voting has been called forth by our trusty vote machine Andraž “ruskie” Levstik. The only nominee this time around is myself, Elisamuel “ryuji” Resto.

Let the hunt begin?

After a long period of time that modular Xorg spells have been in a separate grimoire, then moved to a devel branch of our main grimoire, Andraž “ruskie” Levstik has announced that modular Xorg spells have been finally merged with test.

Please read his annoucement for more information, details on the upgrade procedure and notes on the changes that this merge incurs on your setups.

As Jaka “lynx” Kranjc writes to the mailing lists, Stable Sorcery version 1.14.1 has been released and is ready for those that track the stable branch of sorcery. This version includes sub-dependency support, stage-root support (cast castfs to use it) and runtime/suggested-dependencies support.

You can read more (including the ChangeLog) on the wiki release notes page for 1.14.1.
