Funtoo Linux BDFL drobbins Posted September 25, 2019 Author Funtoo Linux BDFL Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 One thing I'd like to say is that our official 1.4 release was on Sept 11th, and it's Sept 24th and a TON of stuff has been improved. Really impressive. Thanks to everyone who contributed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stamasd Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 One issue that I've run into while upgrading (several machines) from 1.3 to 1.4 is that during the world update, packages that depend on python-3.7 get pulled before the python upgrade itself, and fail repeatedly (e.g. libpsl-0.20.2). Perhaps the instructions should mention that python 3.7 should be installed separately before doing the world update, and the default python interpreter should be switched to 3.7 also before the world update.

Funtoo Linux BDFL drobbins Posted October 1, 2019 Author Funtoo Linux BDFL Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 @stamasd Yes, we should do that as this issue has impacted lots of users. I will look at doing that now, can you review my changes after I make them? I also saw you on freenode (but missed you) regarding radeon support. For that, please if you can file a bug with details so I can see in more detail what's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funtoo Linux BDFL drobbins Posted October 1, 2019 Author Funtoo Linux BDFL Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 @stamasd I've made some changes to the upgrade docs at https://www.funtoo.org/Upgrade_Instructions/1.4-release#World_Update This should hopefully make things go more smoothly.

stamasd Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 Looks good. It wasn't a big deal TBH but this order of things makes things smoother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john123 Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) Hi, I would ask whether it is possible for as to have a prebuilt stage 3 for xfce-4. At least for older processors, where it takes a long time to compile whole system from the ground. And the new xfce-4.15 looks very nice. Thanks in any case.

Funtoo Linux BDFL drobbins Posted February 22, 2020 Author Funtoo Linux BDFL Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 @john123 yes! This is a good idea.
