What's new in Rock Linux 3
Apr 13, 2009
- Packages can be forked (gcc=gcc3, gcc=gcc4) to reduce code duplication.
- Packages can be split (gcc, gcc:doc, gcc:dev) to reduce necessary filesystem space after installation.
- Postinstall scripts can be run to setup the application after installation rather than after compilation.
- Every ROCK script now has a -help text.
- udev has replaced devfs.
- Toolchain compilation for cross-builds has been made easier.
- Cluster Builds, Pseudonative Builds, and Cross Builds have been made easier.
- Lots of other improvements were made, and practically all of the 1600 packages were updated.
