Source mage gnu linux

News

Due to recent changes in management 1 of the Freenode IRC network Source Mage Team decided to leave the network it’s been on for almost 20 years 2 .

After 2 consecutive votes active developers unanimously agreed on this decision. We believe recent actions of the new Freenode staff do not align with our vision of how an open source communication platform should be operated.

Forums are up!

We’d like to introduce the return of Source Mage forums!

Unfortunately since the last migration to the old wiki the database was never migrated from our Drupal installation and the backups were lost.

This is an experiment but also an attempt to invite more users to our community and share experience with Source Mage.

      Source Mage chroot images

      Important Note

      The stable grimoire is pretty old, we are working on a smooth upgrade from stable 0.62 to a future 0.63 version but there are many ABI incompatibilities to overcome. If you intend to run your system with the test grimoire anyway, you will be a lot better off using the test chroot image, otherwise you have a lot of painful ABI incompatible changes to overcome manually.

          Source Mage Docker images

          These images are based on our chroot images and available on Docker Hub. To use them, simply do the following:

          $ docker run -it sourcemage:0.62

          • in order to get the full benefit of castfs you need additional flags ( —device /dev/fuse —cap-add SYS_ADMIN ) for access to /dev/fuse device within a container, but you’ve been warned because there are security implications to granting such capabilities/privileges to the container; otherwise installwatch will be used
          • 0.62 indicates the Grimoire version this image is based on, otherwise latest will be pulled

            About

            

            

            Source Mage (or SMGL in abbreviated form) is a source-based GNU/Linux distribution based on a sorcery metaphor of «casting» and «dispelling» programs, which we refer to as «spells», and a package manager called «Sorcery». Our packages are designed to allow the user to customize the package any way they want (custom CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, ./configure flags, etc.) as well as offering as many of the package options as possible to the user up-front (you will not need to know what options a package has or what optional dependencies it can use ahead of time). Source code is always downloaded from the publisher’s website and rarely patched. SMGL also includes many advanced features such as self-healing and sub-dependencies.

            All of our scripts are GPL’d and our package manager and packages are written in bash, so they are easy to learn and modify. Sorcery supports custom packages maintained by users, which can override default packages and will never be touched by updates.

            The Magic is truly in your hands with Source Mage. Meet The Team that brings it to you.

            We are currently pre-1.0, and developing steadily. If you need help, or just want to chat with us, you may try our mailing lists or IRC, where most of our discussions take place, so please feel free to subscribe and join in. You can find the details for contacting us on our Contact page.
