eweOS 2025.03 Progress Report
In March, eweOS development progressed steadily, marked by new kernel features enabled by default, a significant number of package updates, infrastructure enhancements, and exciting community prospects.
The month saw 247 PRs merged, maintaining a strong automated update cadence. Key kernel enhancements included enabling BPF support and activating bridge and simpledrm drivers by default, alongside version updates. Updates spanned the entire system, including toolchain components like OpenJDK and Go, utilities like QEMU (now with LoongArch64 user-static support), libraries such as Mesa and GStreamer, and the introduction of GIMP 3.0 to the desktop environment.
High package availability across architectures was maintained, complemented by valuable upstream contributions to projects like QEMU, bluez, and minicom. Infrastructure saw the addition of a new US mirror, workflow processes were further refined, and the community looks forward to participating in OSPP 2025.

eweOS
We have bootstrapped GHC on eweOS x86_64! P.S. It's a 2048 game written in Haskell running.
After more than one year, GHC 9.6.7 is now available on eweOS riscv64 with Native Code Generator enabled!
Thanks definfo for backporting RISC-V NCG to GHC 9.6 and 9.8!

Critical Failure in Repository Server (EU)
Due to server provider's incident, our repository server in EU (os-repo-lu.ewe.moe) is experiencing service outage.
We have urgently fixed the auto redirection service (os-repo-auto.ewe.moe) to exclude the affected repository. If you've selected the EU repository manually, please switch to another mirror. Rsync service isn't affected, and no action is required for mirror maintainers.
We'll bring the repository back online as soon as the server provider recovers their service, sorry for the inconvenience.

eweOS August & September 2025 Progress Report
Over August and September, eweOS continued its impressive growth, highlighted by the addition of key new applications, and a significant expansion of its community and infrastructure.
A combined 572 PRs were merged across these two months, with a consistently high rate of automation. A major highlight was the successful port of the GHC Haskell toolchain to riscv64, a key milestone achieved through an OSPP project. The repository was further enriched with major new additions like the KiCAD EDA suite, while core system components were refined with the consolidation of kernel headers and separation of WASI-related runtimes. The desktop experience continued to mature with updates to Plasma, Firefox, and Mesa.
This period saw a remarkable strengthening of the project's infrastructure with the addition of two new community mirrors, enhancing accessibility for users. The project continued to give back to the open-source world with upstream contributions to projects like slibtool and Telegram. This momentum was also reflected in the community itself, with a welcome to several new contributors.
