Sparky news 2024/04

The 4th monthly Sparky project and donate report of the 2024:
– Linux kernel updated up to 6.8.8, 6.6.29-LTS, 6.1.89-LTS & 5.15.157-LTS
– added autopartitoning to the Sparky CLI Installer – Sparky testing (8) only
– added to repos: 64gram – an unofficial Telegram client app & Telegram amd64

Due to nala doesn’t full-upgrade packages properly and doesn’t handle with broken packages on Sparky rolling (8) I recommend to uninstall nala. The sparky-upgrade tool on Sparky 8 uses apt back now to upgrade packages.

A worldwide SF1 (SourceForge) package mirror repos has been activated.

There are also 3 new package repo and ISO mirror servers available for downloading iso images and installing packages, located: US2 in USA, SI1 and SI2 in Singapore, Asia.
All the 3 servers are provided thanks to Astian, Inc.: https://sparkylinux.org/partners/

We invite companies and organizations that would like to support our project and join the group of SparkyLinux sponsors.

Many thanks to all of you for supporting our open-source projects. Your donations help keeping them and us alive.

Don’t forget to send a small tip in May too, please.
