class=”article first_main_article” readability=”38″>

if we had enough with the news yesterday about Cinnarch, history repeats itself in the form of Manjaro Cinnamon Community Edition , which as its name suggests is one of the flavors of Manjaro maintained by community as last-in every way-version was released last night.

As indicated in the official announcement, this release is a kind of special gift for users of Cinnamon. Members who will not arrive in future versions this desktop interface as it happened with Cinnarch, the delay between the developers of Linux Mint and Arch Linux updates have been impossible to keep the invention … All because of GNOME, which is breaking everything with each new version.

Manjaro

farewell Cinnamon thrives Community Edition base Arch Linux with GNOME 3.6 and Cinnamon 1.7.3 , in addition to other typical components (more on Manjaro when you leave the main edition, which is coming soon). In the official announcement you have a much more detailed article that, including download links, if you want to give it a touch before it disappears.

Because that is another: what will happen to Cinnarch and Cinnamon Manjaro when put Arch Linux GNOME 3.8 in stable repository?

Ubuntu, Mir, rolling release, community … [Updated]

class=”article first_main_article” readability=”65″>

controversy over Ubuntu still open. Ingredients: Mir, rolling relase and ‘the community ‘. We will try to synthesize information as possible to facilitate understanding, because there is little that has been published so far and it seems that things are not going to be quiet (all links in this entry are required reading if is that we want to have all the data).

500x333 Ubuntu units, Mir, rolling release, community ... [Updated]

First, rolling release, yes or no? Latest news pointed to the proposal remained on the table, however Mark Shuttleworth is not convinced by the idea too , although he is open to review the release cycles whenever there is consensus. In short, there will be no rolling release for now (you really surprised because someone was not a 4.13 RR ?).

But Shuttleworth spoke much more in his blog in a lengthy article that has not allowed comments. For example refers to discontent on the part of the Ubuntu community , which has not liked the secrecy for Canonical’s latest projects as Mir, the new graphical server . Muktware This article summarizes the situation and gives foremost sources among which has once again Jonathan Riddell, leading developer of Kubuntu, which is quite active lately with his statements.

In fact, Riddell just answered a phrase-and something else-Shuttleworth in which he stated “I have absolutely no doubt that will work well on Mir KWin “, which Riddell says: “ I wonder why not you use KWin then, since after all it will work well with Mir and is based on Q t”. He continues: “But I have doubts that KWin works well with Mir and I’ve said so. You should check the facts before launching such assertions “. He continues with some recriminations towards Shuttleworth / Canonical summarized in ignorance of KWin , any contributions to KWin and no contact with the developers of KWin.

There’s more: “I have to ask you to KWin let off the campaign pro-Mir. I did not ask Mir, Mir and and do not want to read articles like the one that has provoked this response lowers my motivation to have something to do with Mir. Mir is an answer to a question nobody asked. It is a solution to a problem that does not exist. “Some pretty harsh statements for who until recently was an employee of Canonical , but that is why they are quite juicy (there are many more” players “who have joined and this function would be endless, but it is worth recalling what Martin also said Grasslin, KWin maintainer).

unrest in the ‘Ubuntu community’ is obviously beyond the Mir-KWin dilemma, and it speaks Jono Bacon, Ubuntu community manager, usually such a pretty diplomatic and as has again demonstrated. I leave you with what is published on the subject in Libuntu, in one and two articles sum it all pretty well.

What is it? In a situation somewhat blurred that only time will clarify. Or not.

[Updated]

As we indicate in the comments, I have returned to mess up (once again!) and Riddell statements are not yours, but Martin Grasslin , KWin maintainer, that Riddell republic of integrity in his blog, I suppose, to show support.

Hacked the Chakra Community Repository

class=”article first_main_article” readability=”39″>

A few days ago we had to Chakra around here with the launch of its latest version. Today we return to the distro more ‘kdeera’ the picture for a very different matter: Community repository has been hacked .

ccr community repo chakra plasmoid icon by malcer d531xhf1 hacked the Chakra Community Repository

news found in The Chakra Bay, a new Spanish-language blog dedicated to covering news about Chakra that I recommend to all users of the distro. By all accounts, one called “Troll” has infiltrated the CCR (the Chakra Community Repository, as the Arch Linux AUR) and is dedicated to packages and delete user accounts .

seems that site administrators have managed to block the attacker, but the repository is unusable at the moment, in read-only mode, while troubleshooting some vulnerabilities in code . When ready will turn up any missing packages and will start a campaign to adopt packages that have no maintainer.

not the first time something like this happens, I’m sure you remember the security breach that affected sites or kernel.org Linux Foundation, but unlike those this time there have been only vandalism , which is something, but not the worst thing that could have happened. I wonder what might have no interest in doing something like this …

Diaspora is handed over to the community

class=”article first_main_article” readability=”34″>

our fellow MuyComputer point, Maxwell Salzberg and Daniel Grippi, two of the founders of the decentralized social network Diaspora (or Diaspora *) have announced something that will radically change the future of this project.

500x357 diaspora Diaspora is handed over to the community

In an article in the official blog of the project both indicate that from now control development of this network will be left to the user community .

social As Free Software project, we are obliged to take this project further for the good of the community that gathers around him. Leave the project’s future decisions in the hands of the community is one of the great advantages of any project FOSS (Free and Open Source Software), and we would like to offer this benefit to our users and developers. We will remain an important part of that community as the founders of it, but we want to make sure we are including all those people who care about and want to see it succeed Diaspora in the future.

not be an immediate change. There are still many details to be close. It will be a gradual process that will yield more and more land to the government by the community over time. The goal is to make this a project entirely run by the community.

This decision of the founders of Diaspora-one of them died last December, calls into question the future of a project that had an impressive reception -promised to solve the problems of privacy Facebook , and give the user full control of their data, but whose development has been complex.

‘ll see if the user community takes the witness for months that the code is available on GitHub, but in many other cases the transfer of the project to the community ended with a slow but inexorable away from it .
