No New Namib Version???

Heyas peepelz, just noticing it's already October, this forum is kinda dead and no news from frederic2ec. :/
Isn't it time for a new 19.10 snapshot or something? I love this distro and would hate to see it die. 🙁
Anyone still around or am I the only surviving Namibian?

Hi,
The project isn’t dead, I’m still working and maintaining it in the dark. Still it’s hard for me to follow up with the update. I don’t have a lot of time because of my side job and school. Secondly, I can’t update Namib because I’m blocked by a calamares bug which make the partitioning non functional on a non-clean hard drive (You can still get around that big by cleaning the disk with something like gparted.) but i don’t want to release a version with a bug like that. Until it’s fixed the release is on hold.

Hi Fred, it's very good to hear from you, even with your tech probs. And rest assured, the 19.01 snapshot still works fine. We installed it a while ago on hubby's PC and the initial update went through without any hiccups. It's just that right now Arch is doing very good and man y new versions coming out. Everybody is super impressed by Archman, although it's basically just Namib speaking Turkish. 😀 Right now would be the perfect time to come out with a new version, it would catapult Namib into the Top 50! 😂
