Keryx 1.0 Interface Mockups
Jul 13th
Chris has been working hard on Unwrapt, which will be the backend for Keryx 1.0. As that is coming along, we will need to think about the Keryx 1.0 interface. Chris has asked me to take some of the ideas which we’ve talked about and turn them into GUI mockups.
Several changes to how Keryx 1.0 will operate are going to require changes to the GUI. For one thing, “projects” will be called “computer profiles”, or simply “computers”. Since Keryx will no longer be carried on a flash drive, profiles will not be stored with Keryx. Instead, users will “Add a More >
Keryx Flash Drives Anyone?
Jul 8th
Recently I’ve been contemplating the idea of selling some flash drives that had Keryx pre-installed on them. This might be convenient for people to just purchase a flash drive to use specifically for Keryx that included all the software preloaded on it and ready to go. I want to gauge the interested on this before I do anything though. Are you interested in this idea? Would you want them to have Ubuntu installed on them too? What size storage would you like? How much are you willing to pay? Let me know in the comments and if people are interested, More >

[Translate]Keryx Package and PPA
May 27th
I’m happy to anounce, as of today Keryx now has an Ubuntu package and PPA available for installation. You can now add the Keryx PPA to your Ubuntu system and install Keryx easily.
Some of you may be wondering, what good is this? Well if you’re online machine runs Ubuntu, you can easily install Keryx on there and you no longer have to fiddle with Keryx on your flash drive (depending on your choice of installation methods). You can now get Keryx updates easily by updating APT like normal as well!
[Translate]Lucid Project Available
May 25th
Slowly but surely, we have just released the Lucid 32 and 64 bit pre-made projects for download. For those of you who don’t know, the pre-made projects are built to allow users to start using Keryx to download packages without the need to go home and create a project before use. Instead you can simply download these projects, put them in the projects folder and open up the one that matches your offline installation. These projects will download the dependencies for Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Xubuntu at once in order to save time and effort. The projects also assume you are More >
0.92.4+1 Preview Release: CLI
Apr 12th
We have put together a list of goals for 0.92.4+1 (as it will be known until we decide on a version number) which will address 0.92.x’s biggest problems and give us a better feel for what 1.0 will look like. Since each of the features is stand-alone, we can release them one at a time for testing, then bundle them all together to make one grand release.
First on the list is a full-featured command line interface. 0.92.x has had the ability to create projects on the command line for a while, but most features have remained GUI-only. This has been a More >

10,000 Downloads!!!
Feb 18th
Well, I’m proud to announce that we have broken 10,000 downloads! On Launchpad.net, we have listed under 10k downloads, but this is only recording the downloads after we migrated to releasing on Launchpad. There was over 1,500 downloads recorded before the move, so we are safely in the clear for breaking 10,000! I just wanted to share my and the rest of the development team gratitude for all your support and feedback!
We are trying our best to get working on version 1.0 and are incorporating all the wonderful ideas you have brought to us. Hopefully things will start shaping up More >
Keryx 0.92.4 is Ready for Testing!
Feb 15th
There are quite a few improvements in this release, but these are a couple of the big ones…
- Simplified package installation Keryx has always done a great job of downloading packages and dependencies, but installing them has been a different story. No more! Keryx now features a GUI dialog for installing downloaded packages.
- Linux binary Ever tried to run the Keryx GUI on a Linux machine? It used to require force-installing circular dependencies with the command line. Well, now running Keryx GUI on Linux is as simple as double-clicking the icon in your file browser!
There have also been a couple of bugfixes…
