This version has been tagged from 2.0-stable branch at revision 4795 on November 14th 2004. The following binaries have been made available some days later: "buildbootstrap" - a minimal build system (generic target) "crystal-emu" - an emulation of the crystal-distribution (generic target) "rescue" - rescue target; including bootable cd-image Most important URLs: -------------------- All these binary releases are available at: https://iso.rocklinux.de/rock-ftp/official/stable/2.0.3/ A snapshot of the sources at revision 4795 is available at: https://iso.rocklinux.de/rock-ftp/official/stable/2.0.3/rock-src-2.0.3.tar.bz2 Sources are available via subversion at this url: svn://www.rocklinux.net/rock-linux/branches/2.0-stable (for more details on how to get ROCK Linux see https://www.rocklinux.org/rock20down.html) Most important changes: ----------------------- All build errors have been fixed at least for the x86 architecture. Tons of updates got merged from trunk. The new "build-bootstrap" package selection provides a small set of packages necessary to build everything else. This package selection is used for the "reference build system" to provide cache-files and binary releases. Personal side note: ------------------- As you already noticed it's me being the new stable-release maintainer of ROCK Linux. If you have any wishes/requests or questions about the policy regarding patches, merge-backs, or updates - don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks to the whole "ROCK Linux"-crew for supporting me that well doing my new job.
