Kororaa 17 Delayed


Chris Smart today blogged that the next release of his Fedora-based Linux distribution would be delayed due to various developmental issues. Kororaa 17 Beta 1 was released June 3, but recent problems have thrown a wrench into the works.
Smart listed several developmental issues in his post today. He's been having a hard time with "getting SELinux to play nicely with Jockey, after upstream added a jockey module to default selinux-policy." He says he thinks he has it fixed, but it needs lots of testing.
An install DVD was planned for this release, but Smart has "run into issues there also, blockers with filesystem related I think to the removal of /bin and /sbin, etc. Not sure what to do on that one yet, so it might not happen." There are also some issues with GNOME extensions and a few little customizations he'd like to do.
Unfortunately, Smart didn't estimate when Kororaa 17 would be ready. He did say, however, that beta testers could go ahead and apply the available changes through system updates.
