Cooker

Welcome to OpenMandriva Cooker

Cooker is the development branch of OpenMandriva Lx. It reflects the current progress of work among all lines, and is considered a moving and unstable target.

OpenMandriva technical overview

The OpenMandriva Lx distribution is made possible by two major fields of technical contribution:

  • creation and maintanance of the tools, configuration and art special to the distribution (like the installer, the configuration center, themes,..)
  • consistent packaging of several thousand different programs and libraries in order to make them available to the user in a simple and consistent way You are invited to help in both fields and will find the guidelines and rules at these pages.

Using Cooker

Advanced users feeling skilled enough to play and experiment with unstable releases, or developers for testing purpose, can download the latest cooker snapshot ISO files here:

Please be aware that we cannot support systems on Cooker due to its nature.

Communication

We can be found:

  • in IRC #openmandriva-cooker at Freenode freenode webchat interface to connect to IRC
  • using Matrix (communication protocol)
  • at the Cooker mailing list. You may subscribe or view the archives at OpenMandriva forum archive; we generally are not Technical Support, so please use the issue tracker for that purpose.

Helping the project

om-donate.svg{.align-left}The OpenMandriva development teams (Cooker & QA) are always looking for new contributors to assist in creating and maintaining packages and to assist bugfixing and testing. You are welcome to join us and help us in this work which is not only rewarding but also tremendous fun!

If you feel that your talents do not lie in the realm of software, then the OpenMandriva Workshop group, which is made up from the artwork, documentation, translation and Communication teams, is always open for the submissions of artwork and translations. New contributors who would like to help with these wide-ranging tasks should see the wiki for more details, and to learn how to join! Alternatively you may use our Forum.

It also costs time and money to keep our servers up and running. If you can, please donate to keep the lights on!
