Planning Dapper +1, The Edgy Eft

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the score-one-for-creative-names dept.

Christian Jensen writes "On the ubuntu-announce mailing list, Mark Shuttleworth announced the plans for the next Ubuntu release - 'The Edgy Eft', the successor to Dapper Drake." This release is being touted as both cutting edge (edgy) and containing several comparatively "young" software additions ('Eft' being a 'youthful newt, going through its first exploration of the rocky territory just outside the stream.') like Xen, XGL/AIGLX, and others.

    Because supporting Beagle means supporting Mono means supporting GTK#.

    If Beagle were written in GTK+, it'd be a sure thing. But adding a heavy dependency like Mono (and GTK#) just for Beagle is stretching it.
