KDE 4 on Weasel

I am just finishing with building the tagged KDE 4.0 by hand. Tomorrow I will start building the packages so that they are ready for THE release Weasel GNU/Linux 2.0 will be released together with KDE 4.0. Even more, it will include only KDE 4 and just parts of KDE 3 that don’t work in KDE 4 (such as kdevelop and k3b).

GUI is almost up :)

Well, I built X.org packages (a lot of them) and most of the KDE & Gnome. Now there are still some more packages to be built (as can be seen on the shot), but it is coming to an end.

Soon (by the end of August if everything works out well) I will be able to build a package group and the first release. So, here’s the first screenshot of Weasel GNU/Linux in action compiling gcc (fortran, java, objc{,++} were not built at first) and kdesdk:

Weasel GNU/Linux reached phase 2

I have just started to build the final packages for the base of Weasel GNU/Linux and by the end of the day at the most, that will be completed.

After that I have to build the GUI component (X.org 7.2 & KDE for start) and then I will be able to release the first alpha (0.80.1) of the system. The system is using Linux kernel 2.6.22, GNU CC 4.2.1 and GNU LibC 2.6 as the base. Most packages are fairly recent, but efforts are being made to make everything as stable as possible. Next post will come from a fully installed Weasel GNU/Linux .
