A New Voyage

That s all great, but I wonder if there will be any changes, for better or worse, in the context of supporting accessibility for blind users?

@bmivzkrp We unfortunately don't have any blind users on the team who could provide direct input, but we'll certainly try to incorporate suggested improvements. Thanks for your work in this regard in the past, by the way!

JoshStrobl Solus is BACK!!!!! and after reading "A New Voyage" looks like it can be 'the' standard moving forward. Man, this is so exciting.

SOLUS_INVICTUS Like outlined in the blog post, Solus 4.x will still receive updates. They just need to get build-infra going.

https://fosstodon.org/@Solus/110233709927495393

Build to repo pipeline is now working! Huge team effort on this one, from tackling issues w/ solbuild to builder upgrades & configuration.

Ikey, Joey, Reilly, Staudey, Rune and myself (Josh).

TODO: CDN for repo. Get RIT to rsync from our repo. Lots of updates! Coming soon TM - Josh

Thanks for you reply.
OK then nothing planned yet ... builging a solid infra takes many time ( or big money if course )

SOLUS_INVICTUS Do you have planned an fixing minimal update in emergency ? or is it better to use another distro as ultramarine or garuda and to wait for Solus 5 ?

A first wave of updates have already been build and synced between the (new, as yet not public) Unstable and Shannon/Stable repositories. As soon as we get mirroring to RIT running again the updates will flow

Staudey
"The first wave" Sounds great, assuming these updates would almost exclusively be for security and stabality issues?

Staudey
Good news but hopping in short delay ...
I hope this wil fix my Solus' Issues ( clock not ok, no more brightness option in power since the last update but brightness setting still working from live USB, I need to use xrandr --output eDP-1 --brightness 0.7 to overcome it, ... ) I think that the lack of upgrade is the source of these issues ...
Best regards,

Staudey
Youre the man! as they say LOL. God you must be knackered i imagine, there cant be enough hours in the day.
A very heartfelt thanks though, appreciated all your remarks during the hiatus BTW.

seanragout Most of those updates I readied during the long outage, so it's not like I packaged all of it just in the last couple days (though of course some rebuilds were necessary).

SOLUS_INVICTUS Solus needs urgently an upgrade ( App obsoletes and Kernel with safety issues ) we cannot use anymore Solus without major safety risks...

read a little bit around here. they've addressed this daily since the site has been back up. they are on it and it will be soon and there is urgency attached to it

SOLUS_INVICTUS or is it better to use another distro as ultramarine or garuda and to wait for Solus 5 ?

seems half the users found other distros and are being patient and the other half stuck it out. I don't know how to quantify 'better.' personally I think you should keep Solus and be patient a little longer. you already have, you said, Fedora to fall back on.
2 cents

SOLUS_INVICTUS Solus 4.x will still continue. Solus 5 is an eventual long-time goal.

SOLUS_INVICTUS Did I made a mistake or my post has been deleted by moderator ? if yes why ?

I can see your earlier post just fine. Read the comments above yours regarding updates.

Staudey
Thanks

SOLUS_INVICTUS I said is it better to use antother distro and I did not said better distros but it is easy to find better distros for specific purpose : a distro's choice depends of the use you need of it.

OK, please forgive me. I mis-read you. You seem to have a plan (and an a**load of concurrent distros. I only run one.) So if you need that cool, light distro I would still advise to wait for Solus and not move data if it was me.
