#AerynOS #Linux #DistroDevelopment

All in all, these are some nice project updates, demonstrating our commitment to achieving our goals and working towards an eventual stable release of AerynOS.

Separately, exploratory work has begun looking to develop AerynOS as an immutable distribution. For context, AerynOS is currently an atomic distribution, but not yet immutable

We have successfully used composefs to create an immutable image from a moss blit state which has successfully been mounted

We would stress that this is very initial work and is helping the team to identify how this development worksteam should continue. By way of example, we may not use composefs and instead move to making our own eorfs images as moss already has it's own deduplicated hardlink cache.

We now have a working appstream catalogue with data hosted at appstream.aerynos.dev

Appstream is a cross-distribution collaboration effort to unify software metadata so it can be handled by Software Centres in a standardised way.
