-===== Warning ​===== +===== Release Manager ​===== 
-PLD 3.0 is currently in an early stage of development so even quite radical changes are to be expected+Jan Rękorajski (baggins at pld linux org) is the current RM
  
  
  
-===== Changes ​=====+===== Current status ​===== 
 +PLD th is stable, in endless development. No releases are planned, but irregular snaphots are going to be made, main repository is constantly updated, but you can consider main th repository as stable distribution.

 ==== Separate noarch target ==== ==== Separate noarch target ====
 In PLD 1.0 and PLD 2.0 noarch RPMs were placed alongside architecture specific packages. This changed in Th and now all packages are kept under paths corresponding to their target architectures (please see the next paragraph to see how to construct such a path). ​ In PLD 1.0 and PLD 2.0 noarch RPMs were placed alongside architecture specific packages.

 +==== Separate debuginfo ====
 +In PLD Th introduces debuginfo packages (detached debug info for gdb and friends). In Th all package debuginfo are kept under paths corresponding to their target architectures as ''​debuginfo''​. This allows smaller poldek indexes meaning poldek likely works faster and perhaps happier mirror maintainers. See [[http://​lists.pld-linux.org/​mailman/​pipermail/​pld-devel-en/​2009-April/​020948.html|this]] mailing list post to see how it all started. ​
  
  
  
 ==== Directory structure ==== ==== Directory structure ====
-In Th, RPMs can always be found under ''​th/​$treename/​$architecture/​RPMS/''​ directory. Currently "​PLD"​ and "​test"​ trees will be used (most users will probably want to stay away from the latter) and "​upgrades-*"​ trees **might** be used after Th's official release. Do note, that the "​ready"​ tree known from PLD 2.0 will **not** be used in any way that would make it usable ​to users (assuming it will be used at all)+In Th, RPMs can always be found under ''​th/​$treename/​$architecture/​RPMS/''​ directory.

 +==== Packages ==== 
 +RPM packages are compressed using LZMA/XZ, which results in both substantially smaller file sizes and faster decompression
