Rescatux 0.31 beta 2 based on Razor-QT 0.4.1

Although I’m not going to release it as an ISO (till I have additional useful options) I’ve just uploaded to GIT the updated Rescatux 0.31 beta 2.

Here’s the changelog:

User changes

  • Razor-qt replaces LXDE as the new Rescatux default desktop
  • Added Qtfm (File manager)
  • Network-manager-gnome was replaced by Wicd.
  • Default Razor-qt desktop configuration was updated to mimic previous Rescatux desktop
  •  Added Juffed (Text editor)
  • Added Qasmixer (Audio mixer)

Devel changes

  • (Devel) Reusable live-build directory added for faster builds
  • (Devel) Ignore Rescatux binary files from Git
  •  (Devel) Distribution is now testing based instead of wheezy based so that sid packages can be pinned ok
  • (Devel) Add Openbox icon to Rescapp desktop file. Razorqt by default shows no icon for desktop files without icons. Or maybe we are not providing the default icon razorqt uses.
  • (Devel) Added siduction repository to be able to use qtfm
  • (Devel) Added razorqt-power package to be able to stop PC in a fancy manner.

Miscelanea changes

  •     .packages file is now built in final release

Distro facts

  • Razor-qt replaces LXDE as the new Rescatux default desktop
  • (Devel) Distribution is now testing based instead of wheezy based so that sid packages can be pinned ok
  • (Devel) Added siduction repository to be able to use qtfm

Finally people at razor-qt irc channel say that this version is quite old and that will be soon be replaced by 0.5 version. I’ll wait for that but I’m not afraid of having to rebuild its config. It would seem that 0.5 version breaks 0.4 version.
