@lattera Slowly downloading.. I just can't wait to test it tomorrow. ⏱

I really crave any lets-call-it-stable BSD flavour on but I'm worried about wifi support, which is core to my pet project: is there some place I can lurk and track for info perhaps?

@pixline

Wifi support isn't there, yet. Work is ongoing.

@lattera Really thank you for the info, I'm looking forward and I'll be happy to test it when it comes. 🙂

@pixline Yup. I'll let you know. I use RPI3 devices for a ton of things and am interested in wifi support myself. For now, I use USB wifi dongles.

@lattera That's what I do on my own, my project instead needs it to work (it was formerly a startup, right now just a money waster).

But I can wait: 90% of the issues I had (and solved) in the last two years were systemd-related some way or another. Let's say at this time wifi isn't my worst fear 😉

@lattera By the way, packages aren't outdated as those in : nginx 1.12 vs. 1.10, php 7.2 vs. php 7.0, and don't get me even started on system tools and shells.

So far the image looks great, I'll test it more in the next days porting a few ansible scripts.

@pixline
Good to hear :) I plan on rebuilding the arm64 pkg building server this evening and hopefully resuming builds tomorrow. It takes around two weeks to build arm64 packages.
