It has also been eight years that the same initramfs creation tool has been used (Mkinitcpio), but with Dracut being the more widely used and constantly maintained, it is time to move to this new tool for KaOS. Notable options: You can use another temporary directory (for installations through kcp) than /tmp; kcp can use a third organization for package management. The only constraint is the organization should be on Github; For install or download operations, the clone method can use either ssh or https; You can define a locale different from the system; You can use a custom PKGBUILD prototype to use for PKGBUILD generation through pcpkcp; You can add packages to ignore for depends when you check a PKGBUILD with pckcp. Updates to the base of this distribution were numerous and include a new GCC 10.3.0, Glibc 2.33 & Binutils 2.36.1 based Toolchain, with most of the core being rebuild on this new Toolchain, Systemd 247.6, Proj 8.0.0, Git 2.30.1, LLVM/Clang 11.1.0, Protobuf 3.15, Krb5 1.19.1, Poppler 21.04.0, Mesa 21.0.3, NetworkManager 1.30.4, ZSTD 1.4.9, Samba 4.14.3…” You can read complete release announcement here.
