Packages to Add to Future Releases

This page contains a list of packages we are planning to add to future releases of Cucumber Linux. If a packager or package status is listed as 'HELP WANTED' for a package, that means we are looking for someone to package that package.

Packages to Add in 1.1

Package Package Group Packager Moved Needs Testing Status Details
Pale Moon xapps-extra/palemoon Scott Court YES NO BUILT Once support for Firefox 52 ESR ends in early 2018, Firefox will be switching to Web Extensions and consequentially several extensions users have come to depend on will stop working. To provide a solution to this problem, we will start including the Pale Moon browser in the distribution as well; this browser is a fork of Firefox that will continue supporting these extensions.
Gptfdisk base/gfptdisk Scott Court YES NO BUILT Provide an alternate, fdisk like way to manipulate GPT partition tables.
VSFTPD net-extra/vsftpd Scott Court YES NO, DONE BUILT Provide an FTP server.
