[cobalt-users] [ANNOUNCE] Qbalt

[xfesty <xfesty@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

G'day all..

Some of you might remember discussions between a bunch of other people 
here about starting up a project to initially provide GPL'ed (up to 
date) packages for current Cobalt owners, then eventually making our 
own distribution for the machines.

Sourceforge have finally accepted the project!

You can check it out at:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/qbalt/

I've started up a developers mailing list here, if you wish to 
subscribe, join here:

http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/qbalt-developers

The first thing I suggest doing is making up some RPM's for current 
systems (RAQ4/XTR in particular) for packages asked for a lot on this 
list - i.e. latest PHP, latest OpenSSL, latest Apache, etc.  Discussing 
exactly how we're going to go around creating/maintaining this 
alternative distrib would be a good start.

Once things start happening, I'll form a -users list too - it just 
doesn't seem relevant yet.

Hope to see you on the list ;-)
