I was excited to see this project, but I'm wondering if anyone is
still maintaining the distro? The mailing list seems a little quiet
(the last post is March 2012), and when I use yum for any package
maintenance, it seems the repo hasn't been updated since June 2012:
Not using downloaded repomd.xml because it is older than what we have:
Current : Sun Jun 3 03:42:34 2012

The distro is certainly not abandoned, if that's what you are asking.
It's just that both myself and the other maintainer have been rather
busy in the past couple of months with these things called "day jobs",
which is why we haven't yet rebuilt the latest upstream updates. Putting
together a set of scripts that fetch the latest upstream updates and
rebuild the new ones daily is on my todo list.
The primary advantage of this distro, for me, is familiarity (I use
distros in this family all the time), but if it only gets updated once
in a blue moon...it won't be useful to begin a project using it for a
home server.
The upstream distro only gets updated relatively infrequently - that's
kind of the whole point; the goal posts don't keep changing.
If there are any packages you would like to see updated sooner rather
than later (e.g. specific bugs you are tripping over or potential
security concerns), do tell - I'll see what I can do to get them updated
to the latest upstream versions ASAP.
