Gentoo 2008.0 beta is here
Two days ago we were talking about the problems that the Gentoo Foundation has been suffering during the last year and how all this affected the normal development.
But now, finally, we know there is a new release. Gentoo 2008.0 beta is here and, it seems, nothing can’t stop again its development to the final version. However, we don’t know when the final version is coming.
The release announcement is very short and they don’t explain what are the features of this new release. At least we find out they are using 2.6.24 kernel in this release. But, actually, this is not really important.
The most important announcement is that developers are seriously thinking about changing Portage 2.1. It will adopt the RPM format for all packages moving forward. So Gentoo is changing and we think it is important: after 1 “problematic” year is normal they have to think about some changes in the distribution development. [[Of course, just joking]]
Now, we can tray this new realease and report any functionality issues we encounter.
