v10.0.60

penguins-eggs-10.0.60

• introduced a new installation mode by replacing a single partition.
• removed the LVM2 installation mode completely.
• At this point we have 3 partition modes: Erase disk, Erase disk/Encrypted and Replace partition.

I hope to reintroduce Erase disk/LVM2 mode in the future.

Just cleaning

I am trying to find a way to include the ability to install with krill on a pre-existing partition. Of course it is a difficult craft, I will have to simplify LVM2 management first.

v10.0.58-6: trying on Arch (#467)

penguins-eggs-10.0.58-6 (Testing)

I am working mainly on krill, to add the functionality for encrypted installation and VM2. With the occasion I am also trying to get ISOs created with eggs working with Secure boot enabled on UEFI.

The LVM2 installation works, as does the LUKS installation, but I still have some problems on the installed system, a delay who at the moment I was not able to find the reasons.

On Debian bookworm was added the ability to boot with Secure Boot enabled, thanks to karltestano for suggestions #456. On Ubuntu and Linuxmint we need to copy the original /boot/grub&/efi.img from the original ISO, to /home/eggs/iso/boot/grub/efi.img and run sudo /home/eggs/ovarium/mkido to rebuild the ISO.

I released on Arch too, for an important motivation I must refresh the version of calamares we use, last changes on Arch made it not working.

It was a long time I was not publishing, from december 2024. But during this time I did very large changes:

• ovary.ts was a more than 2000 lines of code, now is splitted in more short parts under ovary.d, on krill I invest a lot of time too findind a way to make possible to get LUKS and LVM installation with it.

Not all is finished, and there is again things to do:

• extend secure boot to Ubuntu
• test and create packages for others distros.

Have good time

almalinux, fedora and rockylinux booting on UEFI

penguins-eggs-10.0.54

• great news for rpm based distributions: almalinux, fedora, opensuse and rocklinux: we are finally able to produce bootable ISO images on UEFI systems;
• openmamba, thanks the collaboration from Silvan Calarco, have it's own rpm package;
• almalinux, fedora, rocklinux can install penguins-eggs with penguins-eggs-tarball;
• Manjaro-based bigLinux and bigCommunity distributions are now managed separately and properly;

This version, although working, must condider itself still experimental, I had the bad idea to boot almalinux, fedora and rockylinux on UEFI with systemd-boot instead of the canonical grub2. Let's consider it, precisely an experiment.

v10.0.53

penguins-eggs-10.0.53

• we are adding rpm packages for openmamba and various, with the occasion it became necessary to rewrite the package export function, used by the developer. In addiction I'm trying to bring penguins-eggs to ALDOS, there is something to do yet.
• added Manjaro Yonada

What's Changed

• Devel by @pieroproietti in #426

Full Changelog: v10.0.52...v10.0.53

v10.0.51

penguins-eggs-10.0.51

I am undecided whether to make a new release and I will not, in the sense that this release does not add much for Alpine, Arch, Debian, Devuan, Fedora, Manjaro, openSuSE and Ubuntu. However, in a burst of creativity I am adding three more distributions almost simultaneously: ALDOS, openMamba and VoidLinux.
This is the current status:

• ALDOS: is being remastered, but so far I have not been able to boot the distro from live, I have asked the author for help;
• openmamba: it is remastered and installed with krill, calamares - for some reason - still doesn't work for me and generates rather heavy ISOs due probably to some exclusion to do;
• voidLinux: although it is the first one I tried to include, it is still far from being closed, as in the meantime I fell in love with Openmamba and gave it a try on ALDUS.

So no package will be released of this version, but a release will still be done and then start again with a devel branch.

It would be greatly appreciated if experts from these three distributions would like to collaborate, from doing tests to making suggestions or, reviewing the code.

v10.0.50

penguins-eggs-10.0.50

• krill: bugfix on module for machine-id creation on new installation;
• RockyLinux and AlmaLinux now work nicelly with penguins-eggs and is
  possible to build instalable custom servers or desktop.

The result is the two main open-source enterprise operating systems.

v10.0.49

penguins-eggs-10.0.49

• krill: trying to add RockyLinux and AlmaLinux to penguins-eggs, we updated our TUI system
  installer to manage systemd-boot entries if present. The result is the two main open-source enterprise
  operating systems: AlmaLinux and RockyLinux now work with penguins-eggs and is possible to build
  instalable custom servers or desktop;
• added isohdpfx.bin as part of syslinux configuration. Actually we use - for all the distros - a subset of syslinux v6.03,
  from kernel.org and embedded inside eggs.

v10.0.45

• eggs love now not fail if eggs is not configured yet and, configuration is made with eggs dad --defailt;
• eggs produce bugfix, eggs produce under certain conditions asked for confirmation twice;
• removed package pxelinux, isolinux dependecies on debian;
• removed compatibility functions for node8, not more necessary.

v10.0.44

• eggs export pkg and eggs update now work also for AlpineLinux. This will let me to publish Alpine packages on sourceforge.
• I revisited WAY-TO-ALPINE in consideration, now there is already an installable package penguins-eggs.
