I’m glad to announce that the next big CraftBian version has begun its development! I do not have much information yet, as very much can change. Nothing is certain yet. However i do have a few plans for it listed below:
.. To be continued !
cba.today
Instead of Minibian as is used now, i want to use Ubuntu at it is updated more frequently and still based on Debian. Also wider support across multiple platforms.
I hope to make a CraftBian installer, so that you can install the interface on whatever platform you might want to use. Everything from a Raspberry Pi, to a full fledged Server PC. However i still want to provide a full image like you are used to on the current CraftBian release.
I’ve already begun the early testing phase on this, to test the compatibility of the current functionality in CraftBian
Simply because it is better supported
Smaller, yet important changes:
One of the things that i don’t quite like about CraftBian v1.x is that if my remote server is down, CraftBian will be very slow or/and maybe even not work properly. This is something i do not want.
When updating CraftBian currently, the software behind it, in Linux, is not updated. This means that if some major change happened on this side, the user would be forced to completely reflash the image with a newer version. Something i do not want.
Something i had always intended but never got around to.
Another thing i had always wanted, but never got around to, as it would be easier for me to help and debug users having trouble.
This blog is intended for a detailed explanation on the progress of the development of CraftBian 2 and it will include some rather techy terms along with some programming. I also intend to use it for my self, as notes i need to remember along the way.
