Solus approaches a new epoch |
 |
The Solus distribution is an independent, rolling release operating system. The project is entering a new phase which will introduce key changes and, as a result, a new "epoch" for the project. The transition will include a merged /usr filesystem, the removal of Python 2, and systemd upgrades: "In this epoch, we will begin using a new stable repository. We’ve chosen to name this new repository Polaris, after the North Star, keeping with our usual nautical theme. This star is often used for navigation, especially at sea, so the name can be symbolic of us being on the right path. Once users begin using the new repository, they will be able to install updated systemd and baselayout packages which we could not safely push to the old repository. This unlocks several other upgrades that we can then do, such as improved virtual console handling. Importantly, it means we are no longer stuck on an old version of systemd." Details on the upgrade process and the project's timeline for the new epoch are covered in the project's blog post.
