ClearFoundation announces the development of an open source application repository to provide pre-built packages for ClearOS and other related Linux distributions. 

ClearOS Distribution Timeline

This application package repository will be used in conjunction with newer distribution models to provide enterprise grade application frameworks for businesses, education, research and homes. This repository will contain packages built from Red Hat Enterprise Linux sources. 

Initially the repository will contain over 2000 open source applications, modules and components. These can be used to build custom solutions based on ClearOS or other related Linux distributions. Packages will range from very foundational Linux code to productivity applications. ClearOS and other open source communities will benefit from the repository by having access to timely updates and quick turn around for sources. 

The ClearFoundation will be seeking developers, maintainers, testers, bandwidth contributors (hosting mirrors) and additional funds for additional build hardware. If you are any of the above and would like to join this important effort please fill out this form.

  • Will this replace the reliance on CentOS entirely, or complement their repo with different / newer packages?

  • I think this is the right decision.
    If would be used packages built from RedHat, ClearOS will only get better and more reliable.

  • Andi,

    First off thank you for all you do to help advance ClearOS in Indonesia.

    Both 32-bit and 64-bit have been created for ClearOS 5.2. However ClearOS 5.x 64-bit version will not be released, as testing and support cycles are all focused on ClearOS 6.x. Fill out the URL below to become an early tester of both ClearOS 6.x 32-bit and 64-bit.

    I wonder, what will be available two different types of installers, for 32-bit and 64-bit?
