No ISO for now

 Apparently for the past few weeks the updating of system packages did not go well for Debian sid team. A lot of packages threw crucial errors (like libllvm19 and its i386 equivalent), some even prompting to removing important packages for the ISO (e.g. today libmount1 breaks Wine and I need to wait for at least half a week). So for now I won't make any new weekly image until my system's fixing is over.  Also tune in to some important news next week. 

LunarXG Rolling Tidal (e) - weekly image #1

 Changelog: + rebuild from scratch + distro name no longer malfunctions + ntsync on default - LACT not yet available   Download:  SourceForge  

Progress update

You may have heard that we're finally moving to live-build. Well, today we tried to create a generic build script. It was not very hard as I use Perplexity to ask for things and then change them to my likings.  From now on our image will be built that way. Please note that while being labeled "weekly" images they will not arrive every week, maybe once per 2 weeks as we're working on Repologist. 

Cubic is terrible. We're moving.

You may know that we use Cubic to build images. It takes a Debian ISO for input, then let us change whatever we want then throw out another image. It is neat if you're afraid of chroot and heavy terminaling. But builtin compressing options are terrible. You see, PikaOS, our very generous partner, have everything we aimed to be, but at a low storage cost of 2.85GB for the KDE edition. Meanwhile, it's 4.5GB for us. I've been using best compression algorithm for our image that Cubic has to offer. But to no avail. From the next weekly image we're rebuilding everything from scratch, using live-build. It isn't quite comfortable, but not having to sacrifice a lot of disk space is better for the users. For now you can use the 'legacy' image. It's quite neat.
