Porteus Cinnamon Changelog
What's new in Porteus Cinnamon 5.0 RC1
Jun 30, 2019- Slackware updated the pkgtools package which moved all package info files to /var/lib/pkgtools/packages. A symlink was left at /var/log/packages
- Major version updates have been made to icu, glibc, gcc, mesa, xorg-server
- We have finally managed to completely replace python2 with python3 for all desktops. This means python2 is no longer in our default package list.
- pauth now acts as our authorizing agent in place of the various other graphical su applications.
- Meson and ninja are now in 05_devel
- All ISO files are now hybrid ISOs. This means you may also now use dd to write the ISO file directly to a removeable drive.
