We are currently working on a community-oriented warm-up activity to get familiar with the cross-compile process using CLFS. Pnoecker is pushing through the CLFS build process while Drobbins is working on automating the build streamlining it as much as possible.

Fchroot 0.2 prerelease is being tested on our shared alkaline-dev-1 server. It allows us to chroot into alternate architectures using QEMU. It now has PowerPC support as well as several other improvements.

The "Funtoo From Scratch" ffs repository now has the ability to build arm-64bit and powerpc-64bit initial native environments, which can then be fchrooted into. See How Can I Get Involved for easy steps you can follow.

The Evolved Bootstrap stage1 has been validated to successfully build a stage3 using Metro. Here's full documentation that explains how to do this. This allows Funtoo to be built from scratch (from a non-Funtoo/Gentoo system) and "feed" Metro to build official stages.

The harvester/2022-09 branch was successfully merged into Funtoo, and the harvester/2022-10 branch is now live. Also, we now have harvester active for 1.4-release.

The harvester/2022-10 branch was successfully merged into Funtoo, and the harvester/2022-11 branch is now live.

The harvester/2022-12 branch was successfully merged into Funtoo, and the harvester/2023-01 branch is now live.

The harvester/2023-01 branch was successfully merged into Funtoo, and the harvester/2023-03 branch is now live. Focus for 2023-03 will be updating Xorg.

The harvester/2023-05 branch was merged into Funtoo.

Harvester/2023-06, along with quite a few meson updates from geaaru/macaroniOS, have been merged into master. We will be starting our next harvester branch a bit later due to a slower-paced July. Enjoy your summer.

harvester/2023-08 is available, and is primarily targeted right now towards 6.4 kernel and core toolchain updates.

Harvester/2023-10 is launched. See the #gumball3000 channel on Discord for details.

harvester/2023-10 is merged into Funtoo and we now have harvester/2023-11 ready for PR's!

harvester/2023-11 has been merged into official Funtoo, and harvester/2024-02 has been created. Please hold off on PRs to harvester. We are going to define a more structured approach to harvester development very soon so we can move forward strategic initiatives.

KDE 5.24 is now live in the Funtoo next-release and available to beta testing for Funtoo next users.

luet-portage-converter v0.9.0 is been released. It adds provides/conflicts support and the possibility to split layer yaml over the include_layers attribute to help CD/CI integration.

Macaroni Systemd release is 60% now automatic. See Readme.

luet-portage-converter v0.10.0 is been released. Fix the bump of the packages with a new revision but with same version. It helps to identify packages to rebuild. Now it's possible define annotations for luet specs globally for all packages defined in a spec file.

Macaroni uses now static uids/gids for core groups/users and begin to have a more integration with tool "entities" (released with a new version 0.9.1) The following software was released: luet v0.24.0, luet-portage-converter v0.10.6, pkgs-checker v0.13.0

Macaroni Phoenix release now begin to have the same automation available on Macaroni Systemd. This permits now to start the review of luet tool to reach a stable condition.

Following the path to reach a stable and organized way, I'm happy to announce the release 22.09-eagle for containers. I will release soon the Phoenix release too.

The first release of Phoenix branch is been released! 22.09-phoenix. Will be available in the weekend the ISO related to this release.

A new release of Phoenix branch is out! 22.09.01-phoenix. It contains the security fix of the open-vm-tools about CVE-2022-31676.

A new release of Eagle branch is out! 22.10-eagle.

drobbins is working on the "master" branch of metatools. With the 1.0.2 release, mongodb is no longer a dependency.

Drobbins is working on "master" branch, specifically merge-kits, and getting this working fully (currently, "legacy" branch is used for tree regen). This involves upgrading release YAML, implementing support for "sourced" kits, and testing.

Metatools git master now can successfully regen the tree in "dev" mode. It doesn't use mongodb, or threading like the previous incarnation, but is still faster than the older threaded version. This is an important milestone -- soon we will be using this version for production tree regens.

Metatools 1.0.3 has been released, with a bunch of improvements including support for running merge-kits.

Metatools 1.1.0 has been released, which includes a lot of new features and improvements.

Metro now has a new Initial Setup guide, which explains how to use the totally rewritten (and reliable) setup tool.

Corenetwork 1.7.0_beta1 has been released and will be appearing in next-release shortly. Our last release was 1.6.5, almost 4 years ago! See the extensive improvements in the release notes.

FL-9695 has now been completed, bringing a fully metatools modernized ruby-kit to Funtoo next, including making Ruby 3.1.2 the default Ruby.

app-admin/vulner - CVE scanner for packages installed by the portage available in security-kit

app-antivirus/lkrg - effective kernel rootkit detector available in security-kit

Alertmanager-bin v0.23.0 and blackbox_exporter-bin v0.19.0 auto-generated packages are now available in Funtoo 1.4 and next

Memcached_exporter-bin 0.9.0 and redis_exporter-bin v1.35.1 auto-generated packages created during a Funtoo Discord Community Live Stream and are now available in Funtoo 1.4 and next

Phase 1 completed on the Funtoo Discord Live Stream. The final *-bin Prometheus exporter (mysqld_exporter-bin-0.13.0) autogen is now completed.

Refactored of all of the autogens created during the Project Telemetry's Phase 1 to group autogens in preparation for starting Phase 2

Started mapping Phase 2 of the Funtoo Project Telemetry. Promu is required before starting and will be the first Golang source based autogen of Phase 2.

Phase 2 is currently ongoing but partially blocked. Phase 3, building a Funtoo Linux Prometheus Exporter, has officially started its R&D phase. New Project Telemetry Activities have been published.

Mottainai Server now has a Community Mode to help on sharing results of the executed tasks for testing/QA. Mottainai Dashboard v0.2.4 has been released.

The Funtoo wiki now has an automated system for documenting and tracking release notes for software. For example, The latest release of metatools is 1.0.3, released on 15 April 2022. It is a regular software release. View Release Notes.

I've added new "Updates" to the Project form. This means you can edit any project page with "Edit with Form" and add new status updates as you go. The most recent one will be displayed on your project page. A feed of project updates shows up on the homepage.

Project Pages documentation is now live, explaining how Funtoo Project pages work and how to use them. Wikiverse has also been completed with general info about how to work on the wiki.

The ability to automagically link to Packages on the wiki via catpkg is working again! (See Help:Funtoo_Editing_Guidelines/Packages for more info, and Funtoo:Networking -- which links to corenetwork -- as an example.)
