Lately I've been working on PGBuild, a generic configuration, download, building, and installation tool that will be used in the current code starting in v0.46, and in the v2.0 architecture when it's ready. It can't actually compile anything yet, but many of the pieces are falling into place- SCons for the actual build process, a flexible XML-based configuration system, package downloading and updating, and support for multiple front-end modules. Shown here is PGBuild with the Curses frontend, running a mirror speed test before starting a package download and configuration merge.

PicoGUI 0.46, codenamed Lagbored, was just released. This is the first release with the new directory layout and windows support. You can read the release notes straight off sourceforge.

PicoGUI has had a simple bot to report changes to the repository in our IRC channel for about a week now. Today, that bot became open to all projects. Read more about it at the bot's info page. It's already being used by autopackage, picogui, gaim, gnupdate, bloat, gnome, gstreamer, bzflag, fresco, and handhelds.org!

After some tweaking (not as much as we expected), Micah and I managed to compile and run pgserver on That Other OS (the one most people use, even when most people know it sucks). There is a screenshot, and the binaries are available in the standard location.
