We have a new release!
https://iso.argentlinux.io/Argent.KDE.BETA.1.5.3-RC2.amd64.iso
I have changed the way Calamares installs, so we can start using Gentoo Calamares directly, and only install calamares-config-argent for our specific flavor.
This means you'll have a different installation icon on Desktop, which wil be pretty easy to understand what it is.
We have new upgrades, and new improvements to EPKG, such as skipping configuration check on our .git folders.
Previously epkg was checking (through internet) if you have some updates on the .git folders for our gentoo overlay repository called argent-ws.
These folders are usually in /var/db/repos, such as /var/db/repos/argent-ws or /var/db/repos/gentoo
But those checks are useless for binary precompiled packages (that we deliver), so I have dropped the internet-check for them.
Standard commands:
epkg install <package>
epkg remove <package>
epkg update <package>
epkg upgrade <package>
Don't forget how to upgrade everything including build packages if you are on full Gentoo make.conf:
epkg upgrade-full
Don't forget to clean your system from time to time:
epkg clean
Same commands still apply without confirmation / interactivity :
epkg autoclean or epkg autoinstall or epkg autoremove or epkg autoupgrade
I still recommend using epkg --help for full help.
If you want fully capable Gentoo, and still use Argent, you can use avasile --devmode
It will switch the make.conf for you, but you can check the /etc/portage yourself for whatever change you want, we do not restrict changing that.
