no more excuses
A few months ago the major complaint about conary wasn’t the feature set, the inherent power, the fact of being different of everything else or simply the things that it would allow one to do as the most powerfull package manager around. The major complaint was simply that the available documentation wasn ‘t enough and too sparse. That may have been true, but not now. Things change. Today, there are no more excuses for not looking seriously at conary. You doubt ? - just take a look.

Foresight Linux 0.9.8 is out and is our biggest and greatest release ever. But a linux distribution, no mater how good or how sophisticated it is, is of no good without a strong community, both of users and developers. That will be Foresight’s next step – develop and establish the meta structure that will allow us to better communicate, receive feedback and be responsive. In the meantime #foresight on freenode is the place to be.
One last thing… i just committed a bleeding edge emacs to our repository. Now you can use your favorite text editor with full gtk2 support, from theming to font anti-aliasing (thru xft) to pango internationalization. just do sudo conary update emacs=@fl:1 on your Foresight Desktop and put alias emacs=’emacs –enable-font-backend –font “Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-8″‘ in your ~/.bashrc, in order to enjoy it.
