UCK’s PPA(s) now available!

Fabrizio Balliano — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 16:54:04 +0000

Great news coming for our beloved project for Ubuntu ISOs remastering, today, working with Wolf (a talented programmer from UCK dev team) we created the UCK’s PPA so everyone could have the latest updated releases with ease.

So go on and type:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:uck-team/uck-stable

and you’re done :-)

Actually we opened another PPA, that’s for brave people who want to test absolutely UNSTABLE snapshots of UCK, it’s names uck-unstable (same command as above but with “uck-unstable” instead of “uck-stable”). I’m not going to write the full add-apt-repository command for the unstable PPA to avoind some copy&paste troubles :-)

Have a great day everyone!

UCK 2.0.12 is out!

Fabrizio Balliano — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 15:09:55 +0000

I had a few hours to spend working on UCK so I’m publishing a new release right now :) here’s the changelog:

* GUI:
* splash notes were updated
* a new configuration screen was added to allow selecting which
languages will be available on the livecd boot splash (gfxboot).
This was necessary because the language packs codes do not match
gfxbook locales.
* the default gfxboot language can be chosen only between the
gfxboot available languages (easier selection).
* default gfxboot language selection was made mandatory

* Backend:
* a workaround for the chrooted gnome-terminal was implemented

Download UCK 2.0.12

UCK 2.0.11 is out

Fabrizio Balliano — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 21:50:22 +0000

I’m really happy today, a brand new UCK version is freely available, here the nice changelog:

* GUI:
* ISO mime type check was removed because new Ubuntu ISOs
have “x-iso9660″ mime type
* a bug with cd language selection was solved
(thanks to Wolf Geldmacher)

* Backend:
* .lz initrd support was added (thanks to Wolf Geldmacher)
* new isolinux configuration format is now supported
(thanks to Wolf Geldmacher)
* if a local copy of gfxboot-theme-ubuntu is found inside ~/tmp
it won’t be downloaded from bzr, allowing better customizations
(thanks to Wolf Geldmacher)
* gfxboot-theme-ubuntu source download routine was completely rewritten
using wget instead of bzr

But the most important thing is that Wolf Geldmacher, the guy who provided most of the patches for this release, is joining UCK development team, this is an awesome news!

So now hurry up and download UCK 2.0.11 while it’s hot!
