Fedora 40 is set to implement the second stage of universal kernel image deployment.

The release of Fedora Linux 40 plans to implement the second stage of the transition to the modernized boot process proposed by Lennart Poettering. Differences from classic booting involve using a unified kernel image (UKI) instead of an initrd image generated on the local system during the package installation. This UKI is generated within the distribution's infrastructure and is digitally signed by the distribution. The proposal is still […]

Release of GNU Mes 0.26, a toolkit for self-sufficient distribution building

The release of the GNU Mes 0.26 toolkit has been published, providing the bootstrapping process for GCC and enabling a closed-loop rebuild from source. The toolkit addresses the issue of a verified initial build of the compiler in distributions, breaking the chain of cyclic rebuilding (where compiled executables require already built compilers, and binary builds of the compiler may potentially harbor hidden backdoors, thus preventing […]

The LDL multimedia library has been released, optimized for low-power systems.
