SPS Linux live ISOs (Splux, 2026-09-06-1)
SPS Linux live images for 2026-09-06-1. Use these instead of 2026-09-04-1. What changed since 2026-09-04-1: - New `sget config-status` command. When an upgrade keeps a locally edited protected file and writes the newest packaged default beside it as `.sps-new`, review what that update left for you: sget config-status list changed protected files sget config-status openssl limit the list to one package sget config-status --raw tab-separated records sget config-status --diff /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf The command is read-only: it hashes the installed tree against the installed database, reports which protected files differ from what their package recorded, flags pending `.sps-new` defaults (including the `.sps-new.VERSION-RELEASE` collision spelling), and diffs a local file against its packaged default.

SPS Linux live images for 2026-09-04-1. Use these instead of 2026-09-02-1. What changed since 2026-09-02-1: - setup points the installed system at the official Git repositories. Earlier discs bundled recipes as directory repositories without their .git history, so a copied tree froze the machine at the disc snapshot. Now setup indexes the live bundled trees in place (read-only) during install and writes git core/extra to the installed system, so src update keeps following the official remotes after first boot. - Building Node no longer dies with "no module named bz2". The SPS python recipe built without the _bz2 extension because bzip2 was not declared as a dependency, then Node's configure tripped on the import. python 3.14.7-5 declares bzip2 and xz, ships libbz2.so in lib64, and fails the build if a required extension is silently skipped; nodejs 24.20.0-1 declares i
