News
I think that a news feature will be helpful just to let
anyone who is interested know whats going on. There may
not be a lot of updates, but I will try and post important
changes and events.

The 21.3.4 update dropped this
morning. Its only been 21 days since Manjaro was
updated to the 21.3.1 series, but I am going to
create the SbK 21.3.4 series. Updates to stable have
been over a month at times in the past. If the next
update takes that long there would to much time
between releases. I have all the packages created
and uploaded and I will start making the iso's soon. |

I went ahead with spinning the Kora
icon set. I created a color change script and
created the base package (KoraSpinBase). The base
package is in the SbK repository, but it only has
grey folders. Kora will not be in the next release
because the icons for it are already done, but they
will be in the one after that. |

I am getting a little bit bored at
the moment. So I am looking for ways to improve the
spins. FlatRemix icons are nice, but the appeal they
once had is swiftly fading. I have been looking at
the Kora icon
set. There is a good chance I may Spin it. It
likely wont appear for two releases if I do. |
| 7/6/2022 | The 21.3.1 series has been out for
about a week and Manjaro has updated to 21.3.2. I
long ago gave up the idea of making two or more
series in the same month. One or even two series is
not hard to update to on a rolling release distro.
That being said the themes for the next series are
done. |

I think I misunderstood what
was said on a update
post on the Manjaro forum. I thought that the
22.0 series was next, and Manjaro did not update the
lsb-release package that shows the release version.
So I named the last SbK series 22.1.b. Then Manjaro
released 21.3 after the SbK 22.1.b series was
released. In the future I will not advance the
series number if that happens again, instead I will
create a point release. At present all the theming is done for the next series. Its likely to be 21.4 or 21.5 with the release coming after the next stable update. I will delete the 22.1.b iso's from OSDN site once the next release is posted since the numbering will be off. Earlier this week I did some repository maintenance. I removed some ancient packages from a very old repository on OSDN. I created some empty package databases and uploaded them to OSDN so any users that still have not moved to the new repository will not get any errors. |
