@rbit . . . Check out this post:

wicd is back from the dead

FWIW, I am also a wired user but still miss wicd.

Stupidity has been the driving force of human history. Expecting humans to behave otherwise is fantasy.

Andreas Messer is no stranger to Devuan. He often came to our weekly meets.

This link was one of the last times that we heard from him but if you poke the archives and git you will find more . . .

Thanks for the wonderful news! Would be nice to find a way to get it into the Devuan repos. Anyone up to taking that on? I'll also contact Andreas Messer as he made efforts to port it some years ago.

#280 Re: Devuan » Devuan Excalibur ISO » 2024-09-08 14:59:43

Yes. That is to create an installer iso. Be prepared for possible debugging of scripts involved to get it to work. There are currently no live testing isos because of the rate of changes necessary at this point.

That is a proper use of a semicolon so struggle on . . . 

In addition it is visually pleasing and symmetrical.    smile

By the way . . . you have one too many commas in your last post . . .

Actually two!

Please note that I am no longer reading this thread. It is a wound of perpetual adolescence that festers and never heals. If things get out of hand and if there are any adults in the room, please call in a mod to deal with it . . . Thanks for all the fish . . . not . . .  smile

#285 Re: Devuan » Devuan Excalibur ISO » 2024-09-06 15:26:45

Currently, no testing installer ISOs are available for Excalibur. You'll have to upgrade from Daedalus. Do the usrmerge before upgrading. Hopefully, the ISOs will be available soon.

#287 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Devuan bug #858 - just a heads-up » 2024-09-05 01:19:02

Or putting it another way . . . there is no need to stir the pot if there is ultimately nothing there to stir.

#288 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Devuan bug #858 - just a heads-up » 2024-09-04 17:20:11

@Altoid . . . A "bug report" is not necessarily a "bug". In the future before posting about a "bug" it might be a good idea to wait until it has been verified by the Devuan devs that it actually IS a bug. No need to spread unnecessary FUD on this forum . . . wink

#289 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Devuan bug #858 - just a heads-up » 2024-09-04 14:10:50

Resolved: https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/2 … e0.en.html

I think you have missed the point that all current Devuan releases ship more
recent versions of OpenSSH than required by this test (6.7 or earlier):

openssh    | 1:7.9p1-10+deb10u2 | oldoldstable           | source
openssh    | 1:7.9p1-10+deb10u2 | oldoldstable-debug     | source
openssh    | 1:8.4p1-2~bpo10+1  | buster-backports       | source
openssh    | 1:8.4p1-2~bpo10+1  | buster-backports-debug | source
openssh    | 1:8.4p1-5+deb11u3  | oldstable              | source
openssh    | 1:8.4p1-5+deb11u3  | oldstable-debug        | source
openssh    | 1:9.2p1-2+deb12u3  | stable                 | source
openssh    | 1:9.2p1-2+deb12u3  | stable-debug           | source
openssh    | 1:9.8p1-8          | testing                | source
openssh    | 1:9.8p1-8          | unstable               | source
openssh    | 1:9.8p1-8          | unstable-debug         | source

-G is now a legitimate ssh option (see ssh(1)).

We have reviewed the article you provided and can find no evidence of compromise
of Devuan installations. It is also worth noting that all of Devuan's openssh
packages come directly from Debian, so it would likely be Debian that was
compromised.

I will close this report now, but if you feel we have misunderstood you or
missed something, please feel free to reopen.

Best wishes

Mark

Let that be the unanswered question . . .

#291 Re: Off-topic » How are you guys quoting posts? » 2024-09-01 14:05:29

Discussions are interesting when little is said but has much value/knowledge. Hot air just contributes to global warming . . .

#292 Re: Off-topic » How are you guys quoting posts? » 2024-08-31 19:56:06

Perhaps this forum would improve if the "Off Topic" option was mothballed for a while . . .

#294 Re: Off-topic » How are you guys quoting posts? » 2024-08-30 22:17:39

@ralph.ronnquist . . . You've been around here long enough to know the odds of that happening . . .   wink

#295 Re: Off-topic » How are you guys quoting posts? » 2024-08-30 17:05:29

Because less is preferable to more wink and perhaps the lack of a knee-jerk button will actually produce more thoughtful responses.

#296 Re: Off-topic » How are you guys quoting posts? » 2024-08-30 16:10:35

Order inevitably slides into chaos and then oblivion. Trying to micromanage just makes things worse. If users here are unable to quote specifically and intelligently that says more about our users than the software guiding them. And a software nanny is an inadequate tool to solve the problem.

#297 Re: Off-topic » How are you guys quoting posts? » 2024-08-29 17:32:43

Back-end or client-side bloat is never OK and full post quoting completely unnecessary.  Also I imagine that most folks here don't enable HTML email. I don' t on any of my accounts . . .

It is waiting for someone to adopt and rewrite it for python3.  Forum members please take note and take ACTION! big_smile
