When installing pkgdeps from repositories more errno values are handled from xbps-bin, this help us to find why a package failed to install. Also stdout/stderr output from xbps-bin is redirected to $wrksrc/.xbps_install_dependency_$pkgdepname.log to see how it was installed or why it failed to install. Do autoremove packages in more places to be sure that if something went wrong those packages are always removed. |

Welcome to the official Vanilla GNU/Linux git repository. ================================================================= Vanilla GNU/Linux is a new distribution that uses XBPS as its package system, The X Binary Package System has been designed from scratch, please visit http://code.google.com/p/xbps for more information. Vanilla GNU/Linux is a simple and minimal distribution that can be customized in many ways. Currently there are ~1500 packages in the stable repository that you can build. There is support for i686 and x86_64 architectures, more may be added in a future (i.e. ARM) but it's not a high priority. Some features: - It's not a fork or customized version of any distro, it has been created from scratch making it an extremely lightweight distro. Base install is approximately 150MB. - Rolling release. - Uses the latest stable Linux kernel. The development snapshot from kernel.org can also be installed in parallel. - Kernel images/modules are never removed, providing an always-bootable system. - Uses a modified "initramfs-tools" version from Debian to handle initial ramdisk images. - Uses a modified "casper" version from Ubuntu to boot from live images. - Uses a modified "OpenRC" version from Gentoo to handle the init/boot process. - Uses /run directory as tmpfs by default, with symlinks to /tmp, /var/tmp, /var/lock, /var/run, /dev/shm. - Uses its own binary package system: XBPS -- A faster/leaner alternative to Debian's dpkg/apt, RedHat's RPM, ArchLinux's Pacman, etc. - You don't need wrappers of wrappers for the XBPS utils to rebuild/reinstall packages. The provided tools are all that you need. - Uses a BSD port-like system to build binary packages in chroot jails without requiring root permissions. This allows building packages as a regular user without interfering with your installed system! When a new stable XBPS version comes out, a new live image is created for testing purposes along with the minimal base system. You can find the Live Images at: http://code.google.com/p/xbps If you have questions or contributions please use the google groups forum: http://groups.google.com/group/xbps Enjoy and happy hacking!
