Gentoo新闻周报(01.29)
1. Gentoo News After several months of development, Xfce released version 4.4 last week. It was quickly added to the tree by Gentoo's Xfce team. The panel plugins and extra utilities have been updated, and some new applications have been added for 4.4. Use xfce-base/xfce4-extras to get them all, or choose the ones you want from the xfce-extra/ category. Also, Peter Weller has been testing this release on Gentoo/FreeBSD and it seems to work pretty well, except for some programs which need minor fixing. Second anniversary of Gentoo Forum Netherlands On January 22nd, the Gentoo Forum Netherlands celebrated its 2nd anniversary. Started on January 22nd, 2005, GFN has grown into a community with more than 175 registred members. Forum questions are devotedly investigated, replied and followed until they are resolved. It is not only the advanced users' questions that are being answered, but questions from newcomers and the-not-so-battle-hardened users are investigated with the same amount of interest. However, serious work must be enlightened by humour, games and chats. And that is the other bright side of GFN. The high number of posts (4572) in the Coffee Corner proves there are frequent sessions of chatting about non-serious subjects. Also, since a few weeks ago, GFN has had its own Unreal Tournament server, which is used often by the regular visitors. With this balance we spread the Gentoo spirit within a linguistic area counting 20 million people. To find out more about Gentoo Forum Netherlands or to join, visit http://gentoo-forum.nl. Gatt beta released Arch testers' workload has been greatly eased, now that Matthias Langer's gatt program has been released. gatt helps with handling stabilization and keywording bugs. Interested people can always join an arch-team IRC channel (such as #gentoo-x86) to help out as an arch tester. All arch-teams can be found on the base project page. New PS3 stages on mirrors This week, the Gentoo Linux for PS3 development team released a new stage4 tarball. It's available for download on the mirrors, as are the snapshots used to build the stage4 repository. USA: SCALE 5x, Los Angeles, CA That's right! SCALE 5x is coming up quickly.
