This image is rather the status from last autumn when we had our last develop= er summit. Since then, literally nothing has happened in regard of IPFire 3. = There is just no time to work on that. As Jonatan has said, all of our time is very limited and we are putting every= minute into IPFire 2 to at least keep that running well. Unfortunately that = has become more time in the past since I have the feeling that we are getting= less and less feedback from testers and so on. The time that we do spend on IPFire 3 is rather on regrouping and finding the= spot where we stopped working because too much time passes between those two= points in time. So far we have failed to continue working on it a little bit= every single day=E2=80=A6 But, there is also good news=E2=80=A6 I always tend to talk about the downsid= es of all of this, but actually there is more positive things to say about IP= Fire 3: * We have an amazing build system - which is not bug-free but doing a much be= tter job than what we have in IPFire 2 * Networking is working really well. It is powerful, has loads of features. W= e just need to round it off a little bit. * The OS is modern, small and faster than IPFire 2. If you want to toy around with the networking, here is the documentation: htt= ps://man-pages.ipfire.org/network/ Please report any bugs, please talk about IPFire 3. I am happy to help out an= d answer questions :) -Michael > On 17 Feb 2019, at 20:05, Tom Rymes wrote: >=20 >=20 >> On Feb 17, 2019, at 12:28 PM, ummeegge wrote: >>=20 >> On Sa, 2019-02-16 at 10:39 +0100, Jonatan Schlag wrote: >>>=20 >>> As stated time is limited and 4 persons are not enough to build >>> IPFire- >>> 3.x.
