Description and history

T2 System Development Environment (T2SDE) is a flexible, source-based, Distribution Build Kit / Open Source System Development Environment (some say Meta Distribution). Its aim is to support as many CPU architectures as possible as well as multiple kernels, with cross-compiling being the core feature.

Developed and actively maintained by René REBE and contributors.

Packaging, sources, repositories and building

  • Sources: .desc receipts
  • Packaging: compressed tarballs (currently with zstd).
  • Repositories: No binary repositories at the moment, only point release iso images.

Being a source-based distribution, all build scripts are available in the subversion source repo.

Here is a quick start guide. And the general documentation (old but still mostly relevant).
