Baserock 14.24 Release
by Richard Maw
Baserock 14.24's sources are available to download.
Release images and artifacts will be made available early next week.
# Baserock 14.24 is released
Last week we cut down to just releasing the devel system images. This
week we have also cut down the size of the devel systems to everything
sufficient to build the other systems.
Changes since Baserock 14.23:
* Morph has had various changes made, see its [NEWS][] file for details
* Distbuild nodes will now check whether they have sufficient space
available before attempting to build, and will make space if they
don't.
* Initramfs support has improved, they will now correctly fill out
their fstab, so it is now possible to use a virtio disk as your
rootfs, or write your disk image to a USB flash drive and boot
from it.
Upgrading these systems is possible, but they stop using the initramfs
after upgrade.
This does not prevent booting a system which uses virtio disks, since
it tells extlinux which disk the rootfs is on, but hardware changes,
such as inserting an extra device, could prevent it booting in future.
* Linux has been updated to 3.15 for all systems
* util-linux has been updated to v2.24.2
* e2fsprogs has been updated to v1.42.10
* util-linux and e2fsprogs both offer versions of `blkid`, `findfs`,
`fsck` and `uuid`. We now prefer the versions provided by util-linux
over those in e2fsprogs.

Baserock 14.23 is released!
by Adam Coldrick
We have not included the base systems in this release, because we are
moving towards making the weekly release *just* the Baserock systems
necessary to build other Baserock systems. We are going to explore
other release processes for the other example systems.
Changes since Baserock 14.22:
* Initial work on making morph support deploying systems as and
with an initramfs. The eventual goal of this work is to make it
easier to deploy Baserock directly onto x86 machines, where you
can't usually know where your rootfs is going to be in advance.
* A number of distbuild bugs have been fixed.
