Hi Folks,

   I have been upto a bunch of activities lately. One is playing with the
OSUNIX binaries and secondly building latest packages for BeleniX 0.8.

For OSUNIX I have got a booting ISO that lands you in single-user
prompt and I am debugging the other service startup issues. These fixes
eventually go into pkgcore.

For BeleniX 0.8 these are the things that have happened till date:

* Pulled a snapshot of JDS spec files trunk and build them to get
  the current Gtk/Glib/Gnome 2.26 packages. Some of these are
  slightly modified for BeleniX. This also gets us the ZFS auto-
  snapshot and Time Slider in Nautilus. However this needs to be
  ported to KDE 4 as well. Anyone upto the task ?

* Firefox stable has been updated to 3.0.8 while 3.5B1 is available in
  pkg.belenix.org trunk. The 3.5B1 build contains some config tweaks
  to boost performance like HTTP 1.1 pipelining enabled.

* Gcc 4.4 final release is now available in trunk.

* Lots of other new and updated packages like audio/video stuff, BOOST,
  experimental Webkit etc. 64Bit versions of many libraries have been
  added (including BOOST and Webkit). All the C++ stuff including a few
  in Gnome (gtkmm, cairomm) are built using the new Gcc 4.4.

* Latest Nvidia driver is available in pkg.belenix.org trunk.

There are more packages to be added before we can get KDE 4.2 to
build.

Regards,
Moinak.
