PLD is developed in two branches: <emphasis>stable</emphasis> and
|
|
<emphasis>devel</emphasis>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Codename for <emphasis>devel</emphasis>
|
|
is <literal>nest</literal>, it stands for <quote>Never Ending
|
|
STory</quote>.

Name of the current stable PLD distribution is <literal>ra</literal>,
|
|
version number is <literal>1.0</literal>. <literal>Ra</literal> stands
|
|
for radium, Egyptian god of sun, one of the perfect
|
|
vowels and something else, I guess ;)

There are RPM's for both ra and nest on ftp. Ra is on the main ftp
|
|
server, but nest is located on separated ftp:
|
|
<ulink
|
|
url="ftp://ftp.nest.pld-linux.org/">ftp://ftp.nest.pld-linux.org/</ulink>
|
|
or
|
|
<ulink
|
|
url="http://ftp.nest.pld-linux.org/">http://ftp.nest.pld-linux.org/</ulink>.
|
|
|
|
directories respectively.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Current policy in CVS, is that packages for ra are in the HEAD, and
|
|
packages for nest are in DEVEL branch (this ain't true for few packages,
|
|
for example kernel has KERNEL_2_4 and rpm has rpm-4_0_4 branch, use
|
|
<command>cvs status -v foo.spec</command> to find it out).
|
|
This policy should change soon, though (nest will go to HEAD).
