André Silva has announced the release of Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre 0.3, a major update of the project's Arch-based, free (as in freedom) Linux distribution that meets the GNU Free System Distribution Guidelines (GNU FSDG). This version introduces Xenocara as the default X window display server: "After several months of development, we are happy to announce a new release of Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre. This is a major milestone and we have fixed many bugs, so that this release is now stable. It includes Xenocara as the default display server for the X Window System and LibreSSL as the default provider of SSL and TLS protocols. Additionally, all packages adhere to the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard. Since it is a major change, there is a migration guide available for users that come from Milky Way 0.2. It is no longer recommended to migrate from any Arch-based distro, but users who wish to try should make adequate backups may refer to the Arch Migration article on our wiki." See the release announcement for more information. The project provides a dual-architecture (i686/x86_64) installation and rescue image (text mode only) similar to Arch Linux to install the system. Download link: hyperbola-milky-way-v0.3-dual.iso (659MB, SHA512, signature, torrent, pkglist). |

About Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre
|
The Hyperbola Project is a community driven effort to provide a fully free (as in freedom) operating system that is stable, secure, simple, lightweight that tries to Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS) with Long Term Support (LTS). The distribution was originally derviced from Arch snapshots, plus stability and security from Debian, though Hyperbola is no longer binary-compatible with either distribution. Hyperbola provides packages that meet the GNU Free System Distribution Guidelines (GNU FSDG) and offers replacements for the packages that do not meet this requirement. Packages are provided for the i686 and x86_64 architectures.

Distribution Release: Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre 0.4 |
 |
André Silva has announced the release of Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre 0.4, a new version of the project's Arch-based "libre" Linux distribution that meets the GNU Free System Distribution Guidelines (GNU FSDG). This version drops support for systemd and adds experimental support for the runit init system: "After a long and continuous period of tests and development, we are happy to announce a new release of Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre. Many of the commonly used frameworks that we identified as definitely not being wanted were dropped and alternatives where packaged and included. Lumina is one example of that, when it comes to desktop environments, given its non-dependence on D-Bus. Bluetooth is another, support has also been dropped, mostly because of the huge complexity of this codebase and derived and well-known vulnerabilities. In addition, Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre 0.4 stays further oriented towards INIT-Freedom. Therefore we have also added now experimental support for runit with the option to add also more alternatives (potentially S6)." Here is the full release announcement. A dual-architecture (i686/x86_64) installation image can be downloaded from here: hyperbola-milky-way-v0.4-dual.iso (1,124MB, SHA512, signature, torrent, pkglist). The installation guide is available on the distribution's wiki pages. |
