Vine Linux becomes a rolling release distro |
|
Vine Linux, one of the oldest Japanese Linux distributions, has announced the discontinuation of regular releases. From now on the project will focus exclusively on updating VineSeed, its development branch, which will effectively turn Vine Linux into a rolling-release distribution. The VineSeed branch continues to receive regular updates and it currently includes Linux kernel 5.4, GCC 10.3, RPM 4.16 and GNOME 40. Users are encouraged to upgrade their 6.5 installation to VineSeed by modifying the APT sources to point to the VineSeed repository. (Vine Linux, originally being based on Red Hat Linux, uses Debian's APT utility for managing its rpm packages). Here is the brief announcement (in Japanese) as published on the project's website. Vine Linux was founded in 1998 by Daisuke Suzuki, a prominent Linux pioneer in the country, as a continuation of Project-JE which developed Japanese language support and Japanese input methods for Slackware Linux and Red Hat Linux. |
