Project status

This page is in help of those wishing to help out with the LSD GNU/Linux development proccess or just want to know in what state it is.

Stable

 * LTS or one major release behind upstream packages are shipped

Decisions

 * static pacman?
 * replace procps with procps-ng?
 * gfxboot? (http://git.manjaro.org/manjaro-linux-graphics/gfxboot)
 * provide posix man-pages?
