novelty is oblivion

  • Free Software from the Future

The newest free software on our planeta, packaged ready for installation.

BLAGHEAD tracks the latest development repos of fedora-devel (rawhide), atrpms, dribble, livna, and lxoliva.

BLAGHEAD is currently updated every few hours. Bewarz, running the very latest also means you need to know a bit of yum/rpm/apt and the command line. To give you an idea of the speed/churn, the repo changes a few hundred packages a day, often including huge packages like glibc and kernel-libre.

Upgrading to BLAGHEAD

Disable your older repos in /etc/apt/sources.list.d and /etc/yum.repos.d/ 

rpm -Uvh http://www.blagblagblag.org/pub/BLAG/linux/blaghead/en/os/i386/BLAG/RPMS.blag/blag-package-config-apt-9-0blag.f9.noarch.rpm

rpm -Uvh http://www.blagblagblag.org/pub/BLAG/linux/blaghead/en/os/i386/BLAG/RPMS.blag/blag-package-config-yum-9-0blag.f9.i386.rpm

rpm -e fuse ntfs-3g

apt-get update

apt-get install upstart event-compat-sysv util-linux-ng ncurses-libs   <-- POINT OF NO RETURN

apt-get dist-upgrade

apt-get update

apt-get install kernel-libre

sync

reboot

You have to power cycle as the initsystem has changed and won't reboot cleanly. On reboot i had 2 glibcs. 

rpm -q glibc
rpm -e glibc-2.7-2.x86_64
apt-get update
apt-get install ncurses-libs
apt-get check

Here is a small script to wget and run to automate this a bit: blaghead.sh

To add gnome to a mini install: 

apt-get install gnome-session xorg-x11-drivers gdm xorg-x11-fonts-base xorg-x11-xfs

and some fonts, not all of these but: 

apt-get install xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-100dpi xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi xorg-x11-fonts-Type1
