Well it seems it not coming at that date. But I think maybe it would be better tell why not and not just be quiet.

For those who are already running Pardus 2011, it appears that the large update to 2011.1 has arrived. I checked PiSi tonight (July 11) and it indicated that there were 216 packages available for upgrading [a 316 MB download]. As noted above, this will update your base KDE system from 4.5.5 to 4.6.5 -- along with numerous other changes.

The update and installation took approx. 1 hour on our medium-speed DSL connection. After rebooting the computer immediately following the update, everything is working fine so far ... (I'm always amazed that these large, complex updates can go so smoothly).

2011.1's release name, Dama Dama, is the scientific name of the Fallow Deer (also known as the Mesopotamian Fallow Deer):

According to the IUCN's website, the fallow deer is under serious threat in its Turkish native range:

2011.1 also includes a new wallpaper featuring a photo of a fallow deer:



Many thanks to the Pardus developers for releasing this updated version!

Great news. I will download and install it today.

Before bed last night I did "sudo pisi up" as there were 73 updates reported.
This morning I find firefox will not work. The message I am getting is
"Cannot find mozilla runtime directory. Exiting."
I haven't so far found anything else that won't function properly.

[nkoc]

try to reinstall firefox

sudo pisi it firefox --reinstall

[csaenemy]

thanks for that, nkoc. Works fine again now

I did a clean install of the 2011.1 and all works fine. But now I hope the developers will get their focus and maybe have more time to the repository itself.
Still some programs from Pardus 2009.2 that are missing. Like Licq for example.

So that should be a high priority.

Anyone needs Wine under x86_64?



Devs made a nice menu for Wine with all its tools. Something you don't see often in other distros.

[John A]

Wine is fine. PlayOnLinux to:
