new 32bit chroot image

By wdp On April 1, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In the daily insanity

Just updated and uploaded a new image for use as a 32bit chroot – This is especially for those interesting, who want to use Lunar Linux in 64bit and need to run 32bit apps as well. Lunar Linux is not multilib and will, as it looks like, never be multilib (but never say never, so). [...]

Future use of MAINTAINER= in DETAILS

By wdp On March 17, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In the daily insanity

Currently we aren’t using the MAINTAINER= flag correctly in Lunar. I’d even go that far and say, we don’t care about that flag and we simply ignore it. With the new separation (stable / unstable) this will change:

The maintainer-flag is usually set by developers or people for a specific module; that means such people [...]

Lunar Linux: Introducing stable / unstable

By wdp On March 17, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In the daily insanity

Both, developers and users awaited the ability to have Lunar Linux in stable and unstable. The last few days and in the past months we had talks and discussions about that and today we came to a solution.

By Striker On February 26, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Website

Preparations for layout changes on the Lunar Documentation Wiki are moving along and I’ve updated MediaWiki to the latest and greatest version.

By Striker On February 20, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Website

Just in case nobody noticed, the Module Site has received a much-needed face-lift, which uses the base template for the main Lunar-Linux website. Some minor changes were also made to improve the overall speed and HTML-correctness since some areas actually had broken markup. [...]

Lunar and network scripts

By dveatch On January 11, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Cogitations

From the occasional IRC chats regarding the current state of our network scripts. Alternatives have been proposed such as;

Retain the basic concepts of the current scripts and improve them to handle additional network connection types. In general just make them better than their current state. Switch to wicd. Switch to NetworkManager Switch to connman [...]

New Look!

By Striker On January 6, 2012 · 1 Comment · In Website

Hopefully it’s quite obvious that the website has changed just a bit. This is because of our migration over to WordPress from Joomla, which was brought about due to a number of factors:

Easier to maintain once set up Easier to keep updated & migrate [...]

A `lunar update` trick

By dveatch On January 6, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Cogitations

There are many things I love about Lunar and here is a little trick that might save you some time.

When `lunar update` is run it will of course sort through the modules installed on your system and present you with an editable list. As a Lunar developer, often times I know a module in [...]

Handling renamed modules – An idea

By wdp On October 15, 2011 · Leave a Comment · In the daily insanity

A few days ago we had a little discussion on IRC how to handle renamed modules (once again). Due to the renamed KDE modules a few users had a broken Box because Lunar Linux isn’t keeping track of renamed modules – So, if a module gets renamed it looks like the module got removed and [...]
