Ali,
I strongly disagree with you about needing a website.  We can not release anything without having a representative ToriOS website.
Stop being so dictatorial; your brief aggressive appearances do not help this project.  You just upset everyone.
Regards,JackT.

Hi all,

  I have been extremely busy recently, and have not had the time to do

much. 
That's called real life and we all understand that so no worries :)
As I always keep reminding myself and everyone within every project I'm part if: it's a community project and one should not do the entire thing all by him/her self.

  I have been working on rebasing for trusty, 
My dear brother, I'm super confused and puzzled here!

Why exactly are we working on Trusty and we have NOT YET released 1.0 that is based on 12.04.5?

May I remind you that we have until April 2017:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

Until 12.04.5 be 100% out of the game?!

May I also remind everyone that we've been working for so long but we haven't yet actually released 1.0 ?!

The website issue should NOT affect the release of 1.0 :)


 the main issue I face

there is the increased size of the dependencies.  Many things now

require things we do not use/want/need, such as NetworkManager.  This

requires a lot more dependencies (initial systemd stuff that was

introduced in 14.04)  It will take a while to get a decent sized CD out

of this, as OBI requires a tarball... perhaps we could offer a separate

solution where we have a CD image that requires a separate download of

the tarball... though I will continue to look through things and see

where I can cut corners (in size not quality of course).

The best I have gotten so far is around 800MiB  This is too much for a

CD, and does not include Seamonkey in any form (live or installed).  I

might be able to shirnk it more (removing things like synaptic?

possibly using my battery monitor (very small gtk program) instead of

the XFCE power manager)

I still need to test things more but the space issue is the largest.  We

fixed nearly everything with OBI in our previous testing and have made

it much more robust.

I do wish there was a smaller network manager that did not require all

the gnome stuff, and worked as well (including native icon theme

support), but I haven't found one yet.

I am NOT going to discuss nor reply anything from the above until we finish 1.0. This is way too early to spend time on. Note that I didn't say "waste time", I said "spend time".

We should "invest" our time into one and only target: releasing 1.0 :)

I am sure I have made this clear so many times already.
