-====== Info about PLD 3.0 (Th) ====== 
- 
- 
-===== Release Manager ===== 
-Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz (arekm at pld linux org) is the current RM.  
- 
- 
- 
-===== Current status ===== 
-PLD th is stable, in endless development. No releases are planned, main repository is constantly updated, but you can consider main th repository as stable distribution. ​ 
- 
- 
- 
-==== Supported architectures ==== 
-Development of Th focuses on the following architectures: ​ 
- 
- 
-  * generic x86-64 ​ 
-  * x86 (targets: i486, i686, athlon) ​ 
-  * PowerPC ​ 
-Support for Alpha, SPARC and i386 wasn't completely dropped, but those architectures will not be part of mainstream development. Additional information will be available at a later date.  
- 
- 
- 
-==== Separate noarch target ==== 
-In PLD 1.0 and PLD 2.0 noarch RPMs were placed alongside architecture specific packages. This changed in Th and now all packages are kept under paths corresponding to their target architectures (please see the next paragraph to see how to construct such a path). ​ 
- 
- 
- 
-==== Separate debuginfo ==== 
-In PLD Th introduces debuginfo packages (detached debug info for gdb and friends). In Th all package debuginfo are kept under paths corresponding to their target architectures as ''​debuginfo''​. This allows smaller poldek indexes meaning poldek likely works faster and perhaps happier mirror maintainers. See [[http://​lists.pld-linux.org/​mailman/​pipermail/​pld-devel-en/​2009-April/​020948.html|this]] mailing list post to see how it all started. ​ 
- 
- 
- 
-==== Directory structure ==== 
-In Th, RPMs can always be found under ''​th/​$treename/​$architecture/​RPMS/''​ directory. Currently "​PLD"​ and "​test"​ trees will be used (most users will probably want to stay away from the latter) and The "​ready"​ tree is known place as for RM to push packages to main tree, you can consider packages being in ready soon to be in "​PLD"​ tree.  
- 
- 
- 
-==== Packages ==== 
-RPM packages are compressed using LZMA, which results in both substantially smaller file sizes and faster decompression. ​
