Our main server is currently undergoing mandatory maintenance. Please be patient and bear with us until our administrative squirrels (well, just one squirrel actually) have completed their nutty works.
This note is going to get updated once everything is resolved.
Thank you.
UPDATE: The squirrels are done and our main server is up and [...]
Hello dear community,
as of right now lunar is shipping the latest available glibc with its moonbase. It tooks some time, yet .. we managed to make it count.

XOrg has been updated in moonbase to version X11R7.3
Updating from the previous version in moonbase should be handled automatically by lunar update.
However, there are 2 caveats:
If, after updating, your mouse is not working, please recompile xf86-input-mouse via lin xf86-input-mouse. Restart X afterwards. The current NVIDIA driver (100.14.11) [...]

This ISO is partially a refreshed installer for i686, but it is also our first stable ISO for x86_64. The x86_64 installer ISO thus marks the true final entry for Lunar Linux as a multi-arch [...]
Dear Lunar users,
I'm glad to announce that C++ support has been added to distcc and ccache. This means that you can now benefit from C++ compile results being cached as well as C++ builds being distributed among your machines.
These features can be enabled by running lunar optimize and switching on distcc, ccache [...]
Hello community,
to let you know: For the recent updates to ‘coreutils’ you HAVE TO update your coretools (lunar/theedge) first in order for the update not fail because of chmod and chown being lost in the process.
chown and chmod have recently been added to the so called ‘protected’ list thus they are now preserved [...]
Hey everybody,
I added a madwifi-svn module to the moonbase. It is going to replace the madwifi-cvs module in a week (means the cvs modules is going to disappear and there’s only going to be the svn module). Also, the stable version of the madwifi wireless driver has been added as well named madwifi. It [...]
Hello community,

Both modules have the sole purpose of providing the kernel interface modules for the direct rendering manager X uses to enable your video card’s 3D acceleration. So if you happen to have libdrm-cvs installed its going to [...]
