You are free to build whatever packages you like in git.devuan.org.  Whether they would be adopted as 'default' or 'official' is another matter.

Ah, so you've moved from documentation to packaging.  Now I understand.

I cannot fully answer your question but I do know that Devuan packaging is done with the d1h Devuan packaging helper.  Properly built and reviewed packages are usually put in experimental for testing.  All this is done on devuan.git.org.

I have no idea what you're asking.  Could you please try again?

The suggestion that your material will be 'taken' is ludicrous.  Feel free to post it elsewhere.  The wiki is undergoing some changes and your situation there will be resolved shortly.

This is not in our roadmap at all.  The prelimiary work I've done to see
if we can gain Wayland support centers around moving drawing to GTK3;

A month or so ago, there was discussion of packaging TDE for Devuan but it hasn't happened yet (and may not)

@mckaygerhard . . . Do you have to be so consistently insulting to others on this forum?  Why would you expect someone to get excited over something for which they have no use?  And why do you demean the solutions that work for them? Reality  check . . . you do not have all the answers and your way is not the only way . . .

No need to do that.  There are already three black themes available under user profile.  wink

Very impressive. Congratulations

Oh, I had nothing to do with that.  They were part of the default FluxBB install.  I only did the two purpy themes.  wink

Be careful if you take a long time to write a post.  Sometimes posts go 'missing' when it's time to post if you're not cookied with the 'stay logged in' option.

Did you not notice the line of BBCode tags on top of the input box?  All that formatting is just a click away.

Thanks. Your notes are welcome.   Presentation just makes the information more accessible to the eye/brain.

@fsmithred - my focus of this original post is that there is no 'devuan-ascii.list'
golinux refers to it in post "How to update to ascii?" comment #7 - caused @keos many posts

the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/devuan.list file does contain ascii information

The information I posted for keos can be found on the website at the bottom of this page.

Could you please format your  "ASCII-install notes"?  As presented it might as well be chicken droppings thrown at a wall to my eye.  In fact all of your posts could use some layout love.

#3238 Re: Installation » ASCII-install notes » 2017-06-22 19:34:55

That's really hard to read.  Maybe you could use the formatting tools to help users find their way through it?

The placeholder on git has never been developed.   Devuan  documentation is currently being developed on the Friends of Devuan wiki.  That may eventually be moved to Doc Devuan.

With all due respect . . . you do not have the language skills to write acceptable documentation in English.  Please focus you energies elsewhere.

Please don't equate your assumptions with fact.

so then dont change the name.. only put "Debian-sysvinit derivative" and get on  the Debian derivates list

It is painfully obvious how little you know about Devuan.  Rather than clogging this board with (mostly useless) posts perhaps you should start reading the DNG mailing list archives to get up to speed.

.. please men!

Please get a clue that there are not only 'men' on the Devuan team.

FluxBB hasn't accumulated many such themes.  Most themes it has seem old, selection is limited.

Currently there are 10 non-purpy themes available from the user profile on this board.  Anyone who doesn't like the default is free to choose one of those or do as follows . . .

Perhaps you (and others with similar concerns) could contribute some, and demonstrate?  It is Open-Source … and may be easier than you think - especially with their community's encouragement.

You can also find alternate FluxBB themes here.  They may or may not work on this version of FluxBB so YMMV.

You are confusing the contents of the 'Quick Overview' (contained in the table) with the content of the webpage.  The link to Dec Devuan is an invitation for participation to create documentation.

mckaygerhard wrote:

so then not post that link! the project of documentation seem 2 years inactive! so there's no project at all

Where exactly are you seeing a link to that?  Sometimes links are to offer information.  Sometimes links are to encourage participation.

Please the link https://git.devuan.org/groups/devuan-doc seems no have activity.. but the sheet sayd "several".. i only see two sources... debian and the "inactive" link or i mean no activity!

Why?  There is currently no useful information there.  A final version of the Quick Overview lives here on the website:

Please read more carefully.  I did not use the word 'destructive'.  Why would you think that YOUR bugs would be top priority for anyone but YOU!

Well, there you have it.  If you don't like it feel free to go elsewhere.

i search a little i not the only one complaints with the theme...

So what?  Nothing is ever 100% pro or con.  This is life.  Please get over it and move on.

I think you completely misunderstood what I was trying to say.  That would mirror the fact that I (and others) understand very little of what you write.  But even though the content is garbled, your combative, aggressive, arrogant attitude is clear and inappropriate.  Maybe you need a time out . . .

Or you can stop bitching and start doing something constructive to undo what is being done . .
