siduction release date?

[mrneilypops]

I am very much looking forward to trying this distro.
Are you near a release date?
Will there be a pre release alpha to test?

[devil]

We plan on releasing at the end of the year. Right now we are still on schedule. There will be different levels of testing pre-releases, but we have not determined yet, when there will be a first public one. Right now we plan on starting build-cycles and initial internal testing in about 2 weeks. Lets see how that goes. I will keep you posted in the Blog

can we mention the "evil script" here that has been banned on the previous SID forums that was used to help with dist-upgrades?

You might mention anything you want if you do it in the experimental http://forum.siduction.org/index.php?board=10.0
Apart from the mentioning, you will not get much help, because nobody really knows what smxi is doing, you will have to ask at smxi.org.

[hinto]

^ That would be fine. (I currently do).  I just wouldn't want to get inadvertently banned from the forum.

Dont worry, you have to be a real bad boy to get banned here. This wont work by mentioning software, we do not like, promote, find obsolete etc I like Harald Hope and we share none of the antipathy that was sown in sidux days by some people that believe, their own believes must be imposed on a community as a whole. So feel free to discuss smxi, as long as it stays civil.

Hello all, I'm interested in this new distro too...and yes also wanted to break free of *cough*Aptosid*cough* and getting tired of the silly politics there as well

as for smxi, h2's got a great forum as well as an IRC channel for those who need help with smxi or to report any bugs in smxi/sgfxi or related scripts.

Why not offer h2 an invite here if he's interested? He's been around the old kanotix and sidux forums until the time he was unceremoniously banned from there.

[ReinerS]

Well at least those scripts will not be treated as "evil" over here. If h2 could in some way gets here involved as DeepDayze suggested would be even better. Lets see how it will evolve.

i talked to h2, as we never had any personal or other problems between the 2 of us. We agreed that we will not promote or support smxi, but not suppress questions or information about it anyways, as long as it stays civil and outside the realm of trolling.

makes sense...like I said, maybe a thread or subsection just for basic support or questions about smxi that he can answer much like there used to be over at sidux forum back in the day. I'm sure h2 himself would never allow any sort of trolling anyway.

[DeepDayze]

On another note,what about discussions about codecs/multimedia or other sensitive topics? Will that also follow the same rules as aptosid has? Perhaps an IRC channel should be set up for siduction if not already created so sensitive topics can be discussed off the forum for the safety of all.

[cryptosteve]

Multimedia stuff can be discussed here. And we are not as restrict as aptosid is in this point.

But there are some irc-channels at irc.oftc.net (e.g. #siduction, #siduction-de, #siduction-core, #siduction-dev, #siduction-art, #siduction-doc - all wide open for everyone).
