Development plans for PLD 3.0 (Th)

Software updates

Software Progress Comments
texlive 2012 ?? work in progress
ruby 2.0 0% ruby 2.0 is faster than 1.9.3, and minimally different to 1.9 (compared 1.9 to 1.8)

Completed targets

BerkeleyDB 5.3 100% In Th on 22nd September 2012 along with rpm5, but rpm uses BDB 5.2
rpm 5.4.x 100% In Th on 22nd September 2012
perl 5.18.x 100% Available with all dependant packages in Th since 30th June 2013
apache 2.4.x 100% In Th on 7th June 2013
kernel 100% grsecurity support has been dropped, linux-3.4.x is now “longterm”

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
