Moving GhostBSD from STABLE to RELEASE just makes sense. It is the right move, the logical step forward. People expect stability, and that is exactly what RELEASE provides. No surprises, no sudden breakages, just a solid system that works.
Reliable, Predictable, Better
STABLE is fine, but it is a development branch. Things change, things break, and users have to deal with it. RELEASE is tested, stable, and consistent. That means fewer issues, less troubleshooting, and more time for users to actually use their system.
A Smarter Focus on Ports
With a RELEASE base, GhostBSD can focus on updating ports regularly. Users care about software availability and updates. By shifting to RELEASE, we spend less time dealing with system changes and more time making sure applications are fresh, working, and up to date.
Pkgbase? It Will Work When It Works
Pkgbase is interesting, maybe even the future, but there is no rush. If it works well, GhostBSD will use it. If not, we wait. Simple.
Winning, But Routine
This is not a radical move, it is just the right one. GhostBSD will be more stable, more predictable, and more focused on what matters.
Winning is not exciting, it is just what we do.
