Development plans for PLD 3.0 (Th)

Software updates

Software Progress Comments
BerkeleyDB 5.3 100% Now in Th, previous BDB 4.7 is still available to ease upgrade
rpm 5.4.x 99% in th-ready, all regressions should be fixed now
perl 5.16.x 10% main package builds, migration pending rpm5
apache 2.4.x 0%
texlive 2012 ?? work in progress

System wide changes

  • full systemd support (provide systemd units, but still support SysV scripts - at least until vserver will be able to run systemd)
  • drop *-initrd packages, building them is becoming a RPITA, and the net gain is not worth the pain
  • grsecurity support in our kernels will be dropped, until someone volunteers to keep that patch up-to-date
  • kernel 3.4.x will become the new -longterm
