News!!!!

Thanatermesis tells us in his blog:

Today, me and Anabell, the new organizer and marketing director of Elive, had a very good idea for Elive, as you know, Elive is an unique operating system in all the world because doesn't follow any rule stablished by the system, Elive has personality and the power to be free as how it wants to be, and now, we are going to include an incredible feature never seen before in any other operating system, but more than a feature is an amazing gift...

Unfortunately I can't say anything about what is this feature, because we want it to be a big big !, we want to listen echo's of OMG in all around the world!, the only thing that I can say about it is that is not very much related with software or applications but is something like an unvaluable gift, even with a good bunch of thousands of money you can't have a better gift, I think that this part is a little fun because sometimes there's a strange user lost around there saying that 15 bucks is a lot of money (even if we have non-paying options), now we are offering something comparable to thousands of bucks!, but anyways... I don't worry about these ones, because as you know, Elive is made for whom appreciates it, nobody obliges you to use Elive, you are free, so remain free.

Intriguing......

Unfortunately this statement was business as usual: many words, little information.
Thana might be a great Coder, but he really isnt a Writer.

I'm afraid you may be right. The message is 11 days old, it will be interesting to see how many weeks go by without any explanation.

Of course, Elive is their own possession, they have the right to do as they want.

I understand perfectly!!!! .
But in Elive has always worth the wait.

I hope you are right. I really like the way my old machine works with e17.

I mac pup this this morning, worked really well save for the weird package manager. It also has OpenShot, a real handy thing to include, and access to the additional repos. Perhaps it will prove to be to my liking.

I'm waiting for over 8 months some news from great Thana,maybe an up-to-date Elive OS based on the newest Debian Testing/Squeeze release in the end,at least??? I see that OpenGEU project is dormant already,no more any news since last passed year.

Well down8ve , I guess it will be waiting for the stable version of E.
I hope this at the end of this year.

While we wait

...six weeks...

i hope it's something worth this wait,

by the way opengeu has a message, it is going to continue it's development soon (read its news page) so it's back alive and will be based off of debian also

...two months...

Just a feedback:

I love elive but has become an old distro, unchanged, in spite of improvements in the packages used by elive remain the same for 3 years. Similarly, support is brief and hardly can see a solution to our own problems and rarely see valuable help, especially with beginners.
I am an "elive user" since 4 years ago but I decide to change it to LMDE, I want to keep "elive" but I prefer to change it, and wait for an update. An example of the slow elive team reacts to changes is this gift that Thanatermesis anunced two months ago... today there are not news.

Best regards and hope you take constructively this mesage.

Best regards.

I suppose they are waiting on the next Debian to be released before going ahead. I've looked over the recent E distros, pretty much all I can find, and none have the common-sense that Elive had. My hope is that there is more news after Debian arrives.

The new Debian 6 Stable has been released already for a while.I hope for new Elive development releases based on that at least.

A lot of members are waiting for grounded INFORMATIONS about the new Elive. What is the big Present your are talking about?

As much as I love Elive.. and I do (We even installed Elive onto a host of Internet PC,s at work, which resulted in more people "buying" the distro)
However.. people have moved back over to other distros as Elive is just not keeping up ...
I hope the news is something that can bring people back to the disto, a fresh new release with regular updates ..
and hopefully a better method for payment

Fingers crossed...

both US and Europe repositories are down and therefore the apt-get is not working, any news on that?

Edit: it appears that the provider shut down the server following a DoS attack, thanatermesis could you please attend???

Well thats some great news,,, As usual it has turned to another dead thread..
Is Elive dead ,,, Its looking that way

Hi!

Downloading and executing this File will fix your Repositories:

Thanatermesis any more news ...

Thanatermesis you must read these boards, whats going on , is there some news or is the disto dying ...
Its been 5 months waiting for "some news" ?

dg_w, as I mentioned before, downloading and executing [www.elivecd.org] will fix your Repositories.

Hi AlexAnteMachina,
this fix is not working. something else i need to do?
Thanks in advance,
EdGui

Read that:

[www.elivecd.org]

Thx Alex, but I am not looking to fix my repos,.. I am, or was expecting a news announcment, something that would being back this distro
As far as I (and more people posting on here) see .. it is a dead Shame rearly

Thanks!!!!

I love this distro enough that I have donated 4 times. That being said I think it's really sad that the Elive team is letting their distro die away like this. Still no news, and a 6 month dead blog... combined with no email responses, and no responses on the forum. Im wondering if the forum is even being moderated anymore... or if Thanatermesis is logging in on sock accounts to market golf clubs and movies ( spam posts arent being taken down ::cough cough:: ) to the few people that are still poking around hoping for some news on the development of Elive. ( I am saying this jokingly )

Come on guys, please throw us a bone. The IRC is even dead.

::Edit::- deleted redundant text and added a couple of things.

Is there any way I could get some temp moderator privileges to help with the housekeeping? There's a few accounts that need a good ban-hammering as well as some spam posts that are clogging up the forums.

Hello wirelessjunkie, to be moderator requires simply to be a "common user" with some activity, I see that you are actually not very active in the forum but we can give you moderator privileges in the future if you like

For now, you can simply click in the "report" button of these people that you think that needs to be banned and they will be reviewed.

Thanks for your collaboration with the housekeeping

That would be great I'll keep poking around the forums until then.

Yes, the *report* button will be getting used from now on. Spammers beware!!!

8 months. I say we declare this thing dead, as there are lots of great options out there now.

Righty right, Sir!

@eno1997

You should ask Thanatermesis.

It would be nice to keep something going, though to be honest it has beed dead for quite a while, with open promises of things to come etc..
Many distros now offer an e17 spin, so Elive would have to pull something special out of the bag, especialy if you expect people to pay to install it.

Isnt 8 Month of non-development special enough?

My point exactly

"Isnt 8 Month of non-development special enough?"

Thats from a mod ///

Intriguing, yes, but not d the world's best operating system .... Elive ally forever

The suspense is killing me....


Thanatermesis, did you get a job at Apple or are you rewriting the whole of Elive?

Haha, no apple

I'm rewriting the whole Elive, that's true. It is not a fun task but will make future updates and features easiest and fastest to implement and maintain, with very possible automated builds for having always updated packages.

Actually im importing all the packages of Elive to the new build system, and this is a very slow task, when most of them will be available, first versions of Elive (development) will appear, unfortunately the e17 theme is no more compatible and will need also a full rewrite.

Ah! so do not worry, if you want a theme based on the current version E, and based on the default theme in E, I'll realize, just tell me how you want it.

Hey August

How it is actually your knowledge of the edje (edc) code ? I know that actually has changed a little (new features).

Basically the theme will be the same (it is important to maintain the "clean" look that it has, like simple, white, correct visually, etc... by other side it will include some special features). My actual idea is to modify the original theme to adapt on it the look of the Elive one, maintaining the most similar structure (in code) that the original one, like comments, etc... in order to update it more easly with the original one when it changes (using meld, or even "git"). I need to look how to manage that, too

Thanatermesis

Hello Boss , in Spanish:
Para hacer el tema de Elive con el actual codigo edje (edc) , solo me haria falta que me enviase la carpeta que se crea al descompilar el tema.
Con esa carpeta portaria todas las imagenes y el archivo .edc , a la ultima version de E.

Le digo esto , porque el la actual verson de E , no puedo descompilar el viejo tema de Elive , por ese motivo le pido la carpeta descompilada.

Tambien me puede mandar el archivo en .edj , si en el archivo .edc , modifica o añade esta linea al comienzo de sprectra.
#if 0

Creo digo creo que podre descompilaralo si hace eso que le pido.

De todas maneras usted decide.

Hello Thanatermesis,

i'm happy to read some news about elive

Can you frequent your Homepage and write some news, because (sorry) i thougth "elive" was dead.

Norbert

Good idea, What you think about this one ? [sync.in]

Yes, you can edit directly on this "piratepad", you can help me to correct my ugly english in order to publish a more correct News


Thanatermesis

Thanks Robert for the correction of the News, it is strange that will be not able to edit directly to sync.in website, do you have tried with a different browser ? it never give me any problem.

By other side I updated the News with a little more of information (and talking about a new thread on this forum for discuss/suggest about it), so if anybody wants to make another look to the added contents, its there: [sync.in]

Thanks

Thanatermesis

This thread is called "News", there's more news [forum.elivecd.org]

Glad to see some news from you Thana. About when an Elive 2.01 development version? I'm hardly waiting for...

The problem of the new development versions is that they needs that all the internal changes where im working needs to be finished, this means that is not possible to make any build right now until these internal parts are finished

hi, Thana, do you have a possible releases roadmap?
Can we enjoy a devel release before 2012?

Marco

Hi bouba,

There's not really a roadmap, specially because it is only needed to finish the internal parts (which are not roadmapped) in order to build the first dev versions. After that, maybe teh progress can be traced by a roadmap.

Actually I'm having problems with the translations by google, but it will be fixed soon. I'm trying to port all the new packages. Im not sure when a first version will be built . Maybe for start the new year ? Could be nice...


Thanatermesis

Thana,

Good to hear from you. Please start a new forum topic re translation once you have it set up, like it was before maybe, so that any (registered) volunteers need only a click or two to access and get busy :-)

she_died

Thana do you gift us a christmas devel release?

Merry Christmas to all elive's guys
