ZFS for Linux has truly arived with Debian now with ZFS on Linux included

The package is called zfs-linux and is currently available to Debian unstable users. Package details via the Debian Tracker. Additional commentary about this achievement by Debian developer Petter Reinholdtsen on his blog.

• Petter Reinholdtsen: Debian now with ZFS on Linux included

Today, after many years of hard work from many people, ZFS for Linux finally entered Debian. The package status can be seen on the package tracker for zfs-linux. and the team status page. If you want to help out, please join us. The source code is available via git on Alioth. It would also be great if you could help out with the dkms package, as it is an important piece of the puzzle to get ZFS working.

Fedora’s FedUp Upgrade Utility to be Redesigned for Fedora 23

Steam Repo for Fedora 22

This repository contains the latest steam package for connecting to the Steam network from Valve. This package cannot be included in the main Fedora repository as it’s not free and is not shipped in source form. Since the Steam license allows package redistribution with a specific note for repacking in Linux distributions; the package is now available in RPMFusion.

CEO: Employee lawsuits killed Mandriva

The company had generated a mere €553,000 in revenue in 2013 (at today’s exchange rate, that’s about $607,000), with revenue falling for years, according to a notice posted by the company. Croset confirmed that to Business Insider. That wasn’t enough revenue, so he had to dismiss some people, particularly sales staff.

In 2014 revenues were climbing again, up by 40%, he told us. Costs were down by 60%. The company wasn’t yet profitable, but it had just broken even. Croset — who is Swiss, not French — blames the legal system in France for Mandriva’s demise.

That’s because the laid-off workers sued the company and won just, he says, as Mandriva was breaking even. (The details of the suits, including names of employees involved, are confidential, he told us, and he declined to offer details.)

The company was ordered to pay these employees hundreds of thousands of euros and ordered to pay “provisory execution,” meaning immediately, even though the appeals process was not complete, Croset tells us.

SourceForge grabs GIMP for Windows’ account, wraps installer in bundle-pushing adware

The GIMP project is not officially distributed through SourceForge—approved releases are only posted on the GIMP project’s own Web page. But Jernej Simončič, the developer who has been responsible for building Windows versions of GIMP for some time, has maintained an account on SourceForge to act as a distribution mirror. That is, he had until today, when he discovered he was locked out of the Gimp-Win account, and the project’s ownership “byline” had been changed to “sf-editor1″—a SourceForge staff account. Additionally, the site now provided Gimp in an executable installer that has in-installer advertising enabled.

In a blog post issued shortly after this story posted, an unidentified member of SourceForge’s community team wrote that, in fact, “this project was actually abandoned over 18 months ago, and SourceForge has stepped-in to keep this project current.” That runs counter to claims by members of the GIMP development community.

• Goodbye, Sourceforge!

Kubuntu Project Lead Asked To Step Down by Ubuntu Community Council

In a spat that reads more like a plot from Game of Thrones, Jonathan Riddell has been told that his leadership of the Kubuntu community is ‘no longer recognised’ by the council — a decision that has left the Kubuntu community up in arms.

Mark Shuttleworth does back the decision, saying that the “UCC is entitled to choose who they will recognise as their counterparts and representatives in sub-communities like Kubuntu”.

A stalemate between two stable mates. Where this goes next remains to be seen.

Announcing GitTorrent: A Decentralized GitHub

At his blog, Chris Ball announces “GitTorrent,” his new project designed to let developers host Git repositories on BitTorrent. The system takes advantage of Git’s ability to run over arbitrary network protocols. “We ask for the commit we want and connect to a node with BitTorrent, but once connected we conduct this Smart Protocol negotiation in an overlay connection on top of the BitTorrent wire protocol, in what’s called a BitTorrent Extension. Then the remote node makes us a packfile and tells us the hash of that packfile, and then we start downloading that packfile from it and any other nodes who are seeding it using Standard BitTorrent. We can authenticate the packfile we receive, because after we uncompress it we know which Git commit our graph is supposed to end up at; if we don’t end up there, the other node lied to us, and we should try talking to someone else instead.” The project is, obviously, a new one that still has important ground to cover—such as dealing with comments or pull requests—but there are interesting ideas to consider already.

Kali Linux Interview:

Brought to you by: System76

Mati (muts) Aharoni

Mati Aharoni is the founder and core developer of the Kali Linux project, as well as the CEO of Offensive Security. Over the past year, Mati has been developing a curriculum designed for users who wish to make the most out of the Kali Linux operating system. By bringing together several advanced features in the Kali OS and projecting them into useful and practical scenario based exercises, the Kali Linux workshop was born. The workshop is designed to be a fast-paced, crash course to the most advanced features in the distribution, giving attendees the ability and freedom to bend Kali Linux to fit their needs.

Questions for Mati:

• What made you to create/develop for Kali/Backtrack?

• Do you still work in the security / penetration testing filed?

• How do you think the industry has changed in the recent years?

• Do you ever feel concerned that Kali could raise the wrong kind of attention?

• Can you touch on the Backtrack to Kali transition?

• Could you talk about the move to Debian as the base?

• How big is the Kali Team?

• In our Subreddit you mentioned:

One of my personal crusades in the next few months is to try to increase awareness of the flexibility of Kali Linux and try to change people’s mindsets about what our project has to offer.

• Could you expand on that here?

• Ever have any questions for the Kali/Backtrack developers…?

Black Hat USA 2014 | The Kali Linux Dojo

The developers of Kali Linux present the first official all-day Kali Linux event at Black Hat USA 2014. Consisting of five, one-hour workshops, we will take you on a unique journey through Kali Linux while providing rare insights and an in-depth look at the most powerful features available in our advanced penetration-testing platform.

KDE Frameworks 5 Has Been Officially Released

The KDE Community is proud to announce KDE Frameworks 5.0. Frameworks 5 is the next generation of KDE libraries, modularized and optimized for easy integration in Qt applications.

On Plasma 5 | Mart

We used to have a 6 months “big release” of all things KDE, called in the beginning just “KDE”, then “KDE SC”, but this release is not that anymore, because KDE grown a lot in the past years, is not just that anymore, and “a single release of everything” scales only so much.

So, when a new version will arrive? how do you check if new applications come? The development cycle will be much faster now: you can expect a new release of the KDE frameworks (so the libraries, not the applications) every month, while Plasma5 will be each 3 months instead for now.

• Getting Started/Using Project Neon to contribute to KDE – KDE TechBase

• wteng on Reddit ELI5: KDE SC, Plasma Next, QT5, etc?

• KDE – The community, similar to e.g. Mozilla.

• KDE Plasma Workspaces – The workspaces created by KDE. This is what you “log in” to, and what handles the windows, desktop, and panels. There are different KDE workspaces for different form factors, such as Plasma Desktop (most common one), Plasma Netbook, Plasma Mobile (replaced by Contour) etc. So instead of saying “I use KDE”, you probably want to say “I use [KDE] Plasma Desktop”, similar to how you would say “I use [Ubuntu] Unity” or “I use GNOME Shell”. Plasma 5 is the next generation of Plasma Workspaces. Plasma 2 and Plasma Next were temporary working names that people used to refer to Plasma 5.

• KDE Applications – Applications created using KDE libraries.

• KDE Frameworks – The libraries and software frameworks that allow you to create graphical applications. (Formerly called KDE Platform.)

• Qt – The application framework and graphical toolkit that KDE Frameworks is based on. There are non-KDE applications that use Qt, for example Google Earth, VLC, etc.

Until now there was still a big bundle consisting of the libraries, Plasma Desktop, and a lot of KDE applications that were released together regularly. This bundle was internally called KDE Software Compilation. It seems like KDE is moving away from having the same release schedule for everything, which is why you’ll see things like “New version of KDE Frameworks” etc. instead of “New version of KDE”.

To summarize:

If you like the workspace (the thing you log into and that handles your windows, desktop, widgets, panel, etc.), you should look forward to Plasma 5.

If you like a KDE application, like Dolphin, Okular, Krita, etc., you should be excited about the next version of that KDE application.

If you’re a developer, then you’ll probably enjoy the improvements in KDE Frameworks and Qt. There have been rather big changes in these underlying libraries that bring several benefits to users, such as modularization (less dependencies if you just want to e.g. install a KDE application) and performance, but you really shouldn’t worry too much about these.

When before you would tell people that you use KDE, now say e.g. “I use Plasma Desktop” when referring to the workspace, or “I use Dolphin” when you want to refer to a particular application (in this case Dolphin).

Desktop Containers – The Way Forward

• Sandboxed applications for GNOME | As far as I know

There’s quite a lot to be said about sandboxed applications, so this is the first of two posts on the subject.

• Desktop containers / app sandboxing to play a relevant role in Fedora Workstation | fedoraFTW | fedora = free open-source

Fedora Workstation is to have support for quite some technologies, including desktop containers and sandboxed applications.

Manjaro Linux Developers Experience A Mass Exodus [Updated]

“Manjaro will still exist and we have now some issues to deal with. We are sorry to all those projects trusting on us. This issue has grown now and not only our forum is now affect. The team is in direct contact with those forums and projects. It even went so far that people using our pictures and impersonate us. Not only me but other team members as well. Friends, we will pass this issue together and it also shows how strong we are, truly. I thank you all having you in my team and doing Manjaro together.”
