We have important news to share: the development of our PMS continues and finally, we have rewritten the method used to bump a new revision of the repository.
This enhancement integrates a new way to create the tree tarball used
on repo update command. This new implementation breaks the existing
implementation. For this reason, we will migrate to the new
implementation in August or September. This will permit to users to
upgrade to the minimal luet version requires: version 0.37.0.
The new implementation speed-up the command repo update that will
not require anymore a post-processing elaboration to generate the split
metadata. The consequence is that the repo update will consume a
limited amount of memory and will be faster. This is a mandatory step
to begin integration with the embedded world.
In addition, we have added another core feature for a PMS: it’s now possible to execute an upgrade that downgrades the packages with the version available. This will help users to switch between the testing and the stable repositories and to supply feedback if something is broken.
Just an example in the Terragon release:
$> luet --version
luet version 0.38.0-geaaru-geff7f8a550ed32355a9725d878d43584688b5f55 2023-06-16 11:37:38 UTC - go1.20.3

Without the use of --deep option, the default logic is to maintain the last version installed.
Kernels upgrades improvement
One of the things that was present on Sabayon was that on upgrading the kernel some files were left
under the directory /lib/modules and the /boot directory.
The cleanup of the /boot/ directory is already done automatically from the macaronictl tool, but
with this new release the kernels contain an uninstall finalize that tries to clean up yet the
/lib/modules directory. This will work for the next upgrade but I will waiting for feedback if
something goes wrong.
Phoenix 23.06 and 23.06.01 are out!
Meantime, we preparing the migration from Funtoo release 1.4-prime to the next release, we have create two maintenance release to supply new packages and a better integration with HP and Brother Printers.

* ZFS 2.1.12
* Gnome Maps is been fixed on both Funtoo and Macaroni
* NTFSg3 package to support NTFS USB pendrive
