issue (p9) - a new stable branch of ALT repositories based on the free software repository (Sisyphus). The platform is designed to develop, test, distribute, update and support a wide range of complex solutions - from embedded devices to enterprise servers and data centers; created and developed by the team , supported by the company .
ALT p9 contains and infrastructure for working with eight architectures:
Assembly for all architectures is done exclusively natively; images for ARM/MIPS also include options for running in QEMU. List of architecture dependent packages for e2k along with information on regular branches. Since 2018, the rv64gc (riscv64) architecture has been supported in the unstable Sisyphus repository, which will be added to p9 after the appearance of user systems on it.
The ninth platform provides users and developers with the opportunity to use Russian Elbrus, Tavolga, Yadro, Elvis and compatible systems, a wide range of equipment from world manufacturers, including powerful Huawei ARMv8 servers and a variety of single-board ARMv7 and ARMv8 systems (for example, nVidia Jetson Nano, Raspberry Pi 2/3 and Allwinner-based ones like Orange Pi Prime; RPi4 work in progress).
Main kernel version Linux The (std-def) kernel at release is 4.19.66; a newer (un-def) kernel, 5.2.9, is also available. A significant difference from p8 is the transition of the RPM package manager to version 4.13 as a base (previously, a deep fork of version 4.0.4 was used); among other things, this brings support for rpmlib (FileDigests), which was previously missing from many third-party packages like Chrome, and the GNOME Software Center for those who need a store.
Added support using openssl-gost-engine; a new gostsum package has also appeared, which allows you to calculate the checksum according to the GOST R 34.11-2012 algorithm.
Considerable attention is paid to infrastructure free solutions, including a unified Samba build suitable for deploying both file services and a domain controller .
Docker images for aarch64, i586, ppc64le and x86_64 architectures are available at ; images for LXC/LXD - on .
For a quick start with the Ninth Platform, Basalt SPO offers users who prefer to independently determine the composition and design of the system, boot images of entry kits () for supported architectures.
Beta versions of the Alt distributions on the Ninth Platform are also available: Workstation (regular and K), Server, and Education; the 9.0 release is planned for fall 2019. Work is also underway on Simply. Linux 9 and a new distributionāAlt Virtualization Server. Basalt SPO invites all developers to participate in joint testing to ensure compatibility with the ALT Platform Nine.
