The release of meta-distribution T2 SDE 21.4 has taken place, providing an environment for creating custom distributions, cross-compilation, and maintaining package versions up to date. Distributions can be created based on Linux, Minix, Hurd, OpenDarwin, Haiku, and OpenBSD. Among popular distributions built on the T2 system, Puppy Linux stands out. The project provides basic bootable ISO images (ranging from 120 to 735 MB) with a minimal graphical environment. Over 2000 packages are available for building.
The new release adds support for the RISC-V architecture, increasing the total number of supported hardware architectures to 15 (x86-64, x86, arm64, arm, riscv64, riscv, ppc64le, ppc64-32, ppc sparc64, mips64, mipsel, hppa, m68k, alpha, and ia64). Cross-compilation for older systems, such as Sony PS3, Sgi Octane, DEC Alpha, and Intel IA64 has been improved. Memory consumption optimizations allow loading the 32-bit T2 build on systems with i486 processors with 48MB of RAM. A total of 1179 packages have been updated, including GNOME 40, Linux kernel 5.11.16, binutils 2.36.1, GCC 10.3, and LLVM/Clang 12, along with the latest versions of Rust, X.org, Mesa, and KDE.
