Manjaro (Arch) is released today with Wayland, Plasma 6 and more

Probably getting near a good time to re-release firstribit (what was weedogit); that pretty much started with a manjaro implementation. Difference will likely be that I'll include fredx181 save to flash (save on demand persistence) implementation. Might even include option to use KL huge kernel with modules and firmware via sfs layer addons; that also makes multi-instance installs very much applicable. Firstribit isn't just for Manjaro of course. Yes, in my ongoing tricky circumstances working on new firstribit probably easiest for me at the moment.

I actually miss weedogit-style facility, which could then form basis of several slimmed down remastered variants.

What's the basic difference between weedogit and firstrib?

Weedogit was just a special build script that took mainstream distros, extracted their core root-filesystem (usually supplied as sfs by upstream anyway) and then modified FirstRib initrd to include correct boot modules for official upstream kernel (not huge kernel) to use. Overall, for other system components too, I simply changed name back from weedog to original project name which was firstrib. In overall simple summary, firstrib is just a name change from weedog - same system otherwise.
