Changes

A nice round of updates this time around, but we’ll keep it short and sweet, and instead list the goodies under the headers below.

Please help us thank Reilly for all the work he does to keep the AerynOS stack sane and up to date, including doing the thankless work of updating system libraries and doing the necessary stack rebuilds.

JACK sound support added via Pipewire

Reilly has dug deep and made our Pipewire sound server support JACK, which essentially makes it act like a JACK server; hence, we are not providing the actual JACK server. He has also rebuilt the relevant packages that support the JACK protocol.

OpenZFS file system support added via module

The last time we did a stream update, Reilly added support for using the OpenZFS module for data drives (not boot drives). He was very clear that it is experimental, so we honestly need someone fairly familiar with (Open)ZFS to help us test that we got it right.
