New Directions – Aim For Stable

devnet — Tue, 17 Jul 2012 13:50:27 +0000

Hello Unity Community! There’s been a lot of flux in the Mandriva community these past few months and we’ve been chugging along as best as we can. Since there is no Mandriva release in sight right now…we’ve decided to switch over to ROSA for our 2012 release. As you might recall, we switched base to [...]

Update on Our Development Website

devnet — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 18:05:00 +0000

Where has dev.unity-linux.org gone? We had a catastrophic fail in the raid group where our SVN was hosted. Since this SVN was only a copy of our Build Server we didn’t really need it that much but just the same, we liked giving users the ability to see what was in the distribution and what [...]

The developers at the Unity Linux project are pleased to announce a new alpha snapshot of the upcoming 2012 release in both 32 bit and 64 bit versions. This release is the first in a while due to the fact that we have migrated all our repositories over to utilize the Mandriva ones. Much work [...]

The developers at the Unity Linux project are pleased to announce a brand new alpha snapshot of the upcoming 2011 release. The 2011 alpha 2 release provides a few big updates to core packages, but the emphasis on the 2011 release continues to be maintaining stability during structural changes that will accommodate a move toward [...]

A New Direction

devnet — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 14:02:31 +0000

The Unity Linux developers have come to a crossroads and these past few weeks and were even considering throwing in the towel on our beloved distribution. Why would some of us consider quitting? We’ve got so many issues to fix and not enough people to fix them…and it is weighing heavily on many of the [...]

Unscheduled Network Downtime This Weekend

devnet — Mon, 02 May 2011 15:44:46 +0000

Apologies to all Unity Linux users for unscheduled downtime of all Unity Linux websites this past weekend. A catastrophic failure at our host resulted in about 2 days worth of downtime for us. We were able to get back up and running, albeit, at a painfully slow pace. We’ll be taking some actions to spread [...]

Unity and Yoper, a tale of two distros…

devnet — Fri, 18 Feb 2011 02:44:31 +0000

Unity Linux and Yoper Linux, two rpm5 distributions of yore (ok, maybe not of yore…but definitely of legend?) have begun a collaboration project that hopes to revolutionize the way both distributions are built, maintained, and developed. It’s ambitious. It’s edgy. Lady Gaga sings about it on her next album. Ok, so Lady Gaga may not [...]

Community Day a Success

devnet — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 08:32:42 +0000

Dear reader, dear Unity Linux friend, it worked! We are happy to say that community day last Saturday worked out to be a great time for all who showed up. Well, what exactly did happen? Even though we had an rather long Agenda that we wanted to address, time did permit for us to cover [...]

Unity-Linux Community Day

dillj — Tue, 18 Jan 2011 23:09:04 +0000

Dear reader, dear Unity-Linux friend, Change. All distributions go through it... some change is bad and some is good. Unity Linux has quietly moved past its second year of existence. During this time we directly targeted other developers for our audience. We wanted to give anyone wanting to craft their own distribution the tools and empower them to build upon our platform. There were many changes along the way: Repository restructuring, an upcoming big perl update, Enlightenment growing pains and the soon to be ready XFCE 4.8 packages. Many of you have stuck with us through all the bumps as we crafted an identity for ourselves and our distribution.
