A New Voyage
I'm glad that the original creators are back and supporting Solus. Patiently waiting for the updates

Have we an idea for the release of new ISOs and Solus V?
Great news! Thanks for taking over and relive this snappy distro! I hope you'll finally integrate fwupd - I would love this!
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?
JoshStrobl Solus is BACK!!!!! and after reading "A New Voyage" looks like it can be 'the' standard moving forward. Man, this is so exciting.

What a so good news ! I planned this week-end to sadly uninstall all my Solus desktop ...
Solus needs urgently an upgrade ( App obsoletes and Kernel with safety issues ) we cannot use anymore Solus without major safety risks...
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 ?
I'm using Solus with Citrix & for Dev purpose and I spent huge time to replace eopkg App with FlatPak one but even FlatPak has now update issuses with Solus ( I've RedHat dev licence but it is not the same UE ).
Thanks again for the good news

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

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 )

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,
seanragout Exactly! I have more than a hundred other updates also queued up locally, but have to hold myself back not to push them (yet), so we can keep this first sync small and fast.
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).
