René Rebe has announced the release of T2 SDE 20.10, a new stable version of the project's distribution build kit (originally forked from ROCK Linux) designed for advanced Linux users who wish to build custom Linux distributions. This version arrives after ten years of development: "After a decade of development, we are proud to announce the availability of the new T2 Linux Source and Embedded Linux distribution build kit stable release, version 20.10. The 20.10 release has received updates across the board, while a major working target was adding new architecture support for arm64, and RISCV as well as further improving cross compilation - all official ISO images are now fully cross-built. Over 13,800 Subversion revisions indicate the magnitude of the release, with over 1,000 new packages, new features and various other improvements and fixes, including the latest Linux kernel, GCC, LLVM, Clang, Rust, X.Org, Wayland, Firefox, KDE, GNOME and everything in between." Here is the complete release announcement as published on the project's mailing list. T2 SDE 20.10 is available for download as a set of pre-compiled installation images for mips64, powerpc, powerpc64, sparc64, x86 and x86_64. Here are the links to the minimal desktop builds for the x86_64 architectures: t2-minimal-desktop-glibc-gcc-x86-64-avx-20.10.iso (793MB, SHA1), t2-minimal-desktop-glibc-gcc-x86-64-haswell-20.10.iso (792MB, SHA1). |

| About T2
|
| T2 is an open source system development environment (or distribution build kit if you are more familiar with that term). T2 allows the creation of custom distributions with bleeding edge technology. Currently, the Linux kernel is normally used - but we are expanding to Hurd, OpenDarwin and OpenBSD; more to come. T2 started as a community driven fork from the ROCK Linux Project with the aim to create a decentralised development and a clean framework for spin-off projects and customised distributions.
