The phyglos Catalog

The phyglos Catalog is a BANDIT catalog that contains the necessary "bundles of functionality" to create and raise a new phySystem.

It also contains other bundles to add more functionality to the system in order to raise the X Window System and the Xfce Destop Environment as well as other common applications like Emacs, Git, Atom, Firefox, etc.

How to use

This catalog is used with the help of the BANDIT toolkit. The BANDIT can use the phyglos-builder bundle and the phyglos-core bundle to raise a new TARGET phy system from a HOST system running phyglos or a supported Linux distribution.

The BANDIT can then use the rest of the bundles in the catalog to add and manage software funcionality in the new system. See the BANDIT documentation (https://docs.phyglos.org/bandit) to learn how to use the BANDIT toolkit with the phyglos Catalog to install and remove bundles and packages in a phySystem.

Status

The phyglos Catalog is in STABLE status. With this catalog the BANDIT can create a new TARGET system and install phyglos in a free disk partition on the HOST system or in a directory ready to create de container image.

In version 1.x, some of the packages are not always kept up to their latest upstream versions. Therefore the phySystem raised vith version 1.x should only be used in development, testing and learning environments.

Version 2.x is updated to latest packages and introduces new changes requiring also version 2.x of the BANDIT to properly raise a new phySystem. This version is in DEVELOPMENT status.

More information

See the documentation at https://docs.phyglos.org/phyglos for more information about the status, roadmap, handbook, etc.
