Saturday, February 6. 2010New Servers at Sourceforge.net
We always had troubles to get our images out there, so we started a new project at sourceforge.net. This might be a problem for our iran community since sourceforge isn't accessible so you have to download our image from chakra-project.ir. So our next releases you can find at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/chakra/ and here as usual: http://chakra-project.org/download-chakra.html Have a good time and we hope we get Alpha5 out soon. regards Phil Miller Saturday, January 30. 2010Sunday, January 17. 2010Are you nuts ?!?

Merry X-Mas and happy holidays !!! We found some presents for you under the X-Mas tree. Drop by and play with them: have a nice one. regards Phil Miller Friday, December 18. 2009Shaman2-svn in kdemod-playground
Hello people, yes, you can shiver at the title: we have (are still, actually) done a new package management frontend. Why? Because KDE missed a great one. Maybe some of you using Arch Linux will recognize the name Shaman: it is the default package manager frontend in Chakra, and Dario's very first project with Qt. As such, it has grown quite old, and it’s showing the limits of Dario's early programming skills, which made it almost unmaintainable by now. So Dario (drf__) and Lukas (boom1992) decided to take it on a whirl and rewriting it from the ground up, with a more ambitious goal. They had some clear goals in mind: There is one platform which actually makes this all possible, and it’s KDE Now you can test it within chakra/kdemod. Just enable kdemod-playground and install it with: sudo pacman -Sy kdemod-playground-chase-git kdemod-playground-shaman2-svn I'll update those pkgs, so you'll always have the latest packagemanagent for chakra/kdemod. p.s. It might be unstable and shaky. Use it at your own risk
Tuesday, December 8. 2009KDEmod 4.3.80 released
We re-opend our kdemod-testing repos to provide you with the latest development releases of kdemod4 series. We start with KDEmod 4.4 Beta1. Lot's had changed. The repo don't contain any tools and no drivers are present. Those will get their own repos later (kdemod-tools, chakra). Don't use this release for daily use. It might eat your hamster and this time we mean it Please leave me a line when you still find some troubles. This is just KDE, no tools, no extras, no l10n. It basically works, but there is still some breakage: Also, most of our patches are already ported in this build  If I would be our average user and I'd want to test this, I'd do the following: 1 - pacman -Rcs kdemod-complete 2 - add kdemod-testing entry to pacman.conf (either replacing core or putting it above) 3 - pacman -Syy kdemod-complete 4 - profit ??? regards Phil & Jan Wednesday, December 2. 2009KDEmod-4.3.4 released
Jan Mette is back and so is our new point-release of KDEmod (We still call it KDEmod and not KDEmod Software Compilation - read on to know more). This time both archs got the updates almost the same hour. With the bugtracker online again, you can post bugs there. Tell us if you find any troubles with this release. Last month the KDE development community announced their plans to reposition the KDE brand. With what was previously just called "KDE" to mean the entire desktop and its packages, that is to now be called the "KDE Software Compilation" and KDE is no longer to mean the K Desktop Environment. There was also some other changes such as the workspaces now needing to be called the KDE Plasma Desktop or KDE Plasma Netbook, but that's besides the point of this article. What has been released today is KDE Software Compilation 4.3.4 (what would have just been called "KDE 4.3.4" a month ago). Version 4.3.4 of the KDE Software Compilation brings a Plasma fix that makes it more responsive due to a pixmap cache fix, Okular stability improvements, Marble has been more polished, and the KGpg encryption tool has received some fixes for non-ASCII characters. The full release announcement for KDE Software Compilation 4.3.4 can be read at KDE.org. Have fun Phil Miller Core-Packager and LiveMedia-Creator Tuesday, November 17. 2009Chakra Alpha4 (Newage) released
Today we're pleased to announce the release of Alpha4 named NewAge of our very own Chakra LiveMedias. Lot's had changed since Alpha3. We have a new KDE4 Theme by Phil Miller, Tribe can install custom mountpoints and we did a ton of fixes. KDEmod got updated to version 4.3.3. Chakra-Hardware-Detection got stripped down to fit xorg-server 1.7.1.901-2 pkg, so only nvidia drivers are the supported propertary drivers for now. On the DVD-Release we have all your goodies on, which Sascha Thier created. Thx to him for that. Please test this release wherever possible, and most of all, on real hardware. Report bugs, or even better send us patches and share your ideas. The place where all of this happens is our Bugtracker, please be sure to register on it. Also check our Wiki, a lot of questions are already answered. With love, The Chakra Team System Requirements:

Sunday, November 15. 2009get rid of ms-stickers ;)
Our designer from Iran Roozbeh Shafiee created these cool stickers. chakra-project.ir printed them and gave them away as gifts. Post them, print them, spread the word ... Download sticker (800x800) Saturday, November 7. 2009chase hits beta stage
Dario managed to tag chase for beta stage. Test our new tools and report back sudo pacman -Sy kdemod-shaman kdemod-chase Info by Dario Freddi: Hello dears, First of all let me say that none of the above is 100% stable. These are beta releases, needing a lot of testing. So let's get straight to the point and see what we have. All of these have been tagged in git; so just git checkout the correct tag Aqpm 1.3.3.3 is finally the framework of everyone's dreams. Supporting now a separate configuration file, /etc/aqpm.conf, handling download by itself, supporting KDE network settings (including proxy) if compiled with - DKDE4_INTEGRATION=TRUE, and generally looking rock solid - it is the perfect base for the various frontends. This release seems to me even more stable than the previous one, but I made a lot of changes, mainly to the configuration backend (pacman.conf is not even used, except from the very first time when aqpm.conf is generated from it), so it needs a lot of testing. Ah: Aqpm 1.3.3.3 and Aqpm 1.3.3.2 are only source compatible. You need to rebuild applications against the version you're using if you want to avoid unneeded trouble. Chase 1.0beta1 seems production ready as well, just test it out  Shaman 1.2.80. Well, it has been through quite a refactoring. Just look at the configuration You can find it in systemsettings as well. ABS support isback, and processing queue from source will be back as well in the final version. Of course it got a lot of benefits from the new Aqpm and it really looks like it's working even better than the old times as well now. Just try it out! Feedback and hardcore testing welcome Tuesday, November 3. 2009KDEmod-4.3.3 released
Continuing with the monthly point-release updates until KDE 4.4 is released next January, KDEmod 4.3.3 packages are now available for download. KDEmod 4.3.3 brings many crasher fixes and updates to all programms This is the second full-build of KDEmod I did for both archs. For i686 I uploaded it wrongly. For any troubles I caused I'm sorry. x86_64 went fine. Please leave me a line when you still find some troubles. The full release announcement for KDE 4.3.3 can be read at KDE.org. KDEMod Changes kdemod-kdebase-workspace don't includes stasks anymore. It gave me troubles during building kde from scratch, so I putted it to a new pkg to fix our buildsystem-scripts. I introduce with this release two new pkgs: More about Smooth tasks read at kde-look.org. Have fun Phil Miller Core-Packager and LiveMedia-Creator Sunday, November 1. 2009Tribe update
Lots of results came back from testing latest development release Crush. So I fixed tribe: Tribe installer changelog This update will break nvidia installation in alpha3. Please use Chakra-Crush-Development-Release or don't update tribe in alpha3. Installation help Some say tribelauncher is broken for updates. You can update tribe also with pacman: sudo pacman -Sy kdemod-tribe Friday, October 30. 2009Thursday, October 29. 2009 |
