All empires decay into excess and decadence then are replaced by something "new" which eventually ends in a similar way. Why? Because humans are deeply flawed and do not learn from experience or history. They just react and make up stories to justify those actions thinking that they are actually important in the grand scheme of things.
Also please look at the upgrade instructions if you haven't already.
I have a custom action to launch Thunar as root in a Beowulf VB pkexec thunar %F. Same can be done to open a specific file with a text editor. Pluma FTW! And in the panel I use synaptic-pkexec. Might not work in ceres though . . .
Disclaimer . . . I have mostly used that instance of beowulf to theme for chimaera so not given it hard daily use.
These pre-packaged all-in-one apps are an aberration and insult to Linux users. Methinks they are for handicapped Winblows refugees who don't know what they're doing.
Or better yet, just don't use "appimage" at all. I suspect that there aren't many devuan users who would touch it.
Since the Stone Age, we have certainly found more efficient ways to destroy the ecosphere and each other. In fact, that goal has been the driving force of our species' history. All the comfort and toys are a distraction from more important things which are (mostly) ignored. All in all, humans make incredibly bad decisions most of the time.
It is getting harder and harder to like GNOME and not like systemd
Isn't lockin the whole point of GNOME/systemd? I could see that coming 6 years ago and abandoned ship . . .
It all comes down to chemistry/attitude and action/reaction. These elements cannot be quantified but are an organic part of human interaction. As I said a few posts up, you get what you ask for (even though you didn't think you asked for it). Perhaps there might be a lesson there if it can be heard . . .
Indeed, freedom includes the right to make good and bad decisions. To succeed or fail. IOW it includes the right to make brilliant and/or stupid choices as well. I suppose it can be argued whether collective knowledge from past experience of others is right or wrong or restrictive of freedom. So yes, you have the right to stick a screwdriver into a live electrical socket. Whether that is "freedom" is debatable.
It is not advised to get packages directly from Debian. When you download via Debian repos there is a chance that you will get caught later by updating a package with a newer version that has been banned in Devuan. That could have "unintended consequences". Your choice to take that risk, of course . . .
What site is not accessible? pkginfo or deb.devuan.org?
If Debian has it and it is not on Devuan's banned package list, Devuan repos will provide that package. That's what "merged" does.
Alright. How do you feel about this?
Instead of answering the question that you know the answer to better than anyone
Can't really answer your question without context which starts with a citation for who posted it. Please include that when you quote in the future.
@Ulysses_ . . . no one here is interested in your political rants. If you want to continue posting here, please leave them at the door.
They do know how to dance in Bulgaria!!
Some iso mirror providers also host a package mirror but not all. And some package mirrors may not provide iso mirrors. To lazy to diff the two lists.
Devuan has a round-robin of package mirrors:
http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/mirror_list.txt
iso mirrors and package repository mirrors are two different things. ![]()
This may be due to some backend changes in the pkginfo function which is still somewhat of a WIP.
@rolfie . . . An "Invisible ink" trick?
Use the -debian operator to eliminate debian. Or -ubuntu etc. I do that all the time.
https://refracta.org/docs/readme.refractasnapshot.txt
refracta tools - installer and snapshot - are in the Devuan repos
Suspect the sys admin working on Devuan's infra. I think I remember that notes to that effect were posted on irc but not on the forum.
As HoaS Asked earlier . . . do you have "non-free" enabled in your sources.list?
Gnome is a bug.
Please check out this thread for updated php.
You both failed the challenge offered rather spectacularly. Thread is now locked.
Your final summations remind me of this original Star Trek episode. Same polar dynamic . . .
Are either of you even using Devuan?
Perhaps you can find a more suitable place than this forum to amuse yourselves since you seem to be incapable of evolving beyond such primitive, knee-jerk behavior.
Really . . . get over yourselves . . .
That would depend on your definition of an "update for non-sighted users". There will be a point release in the near future. I suggest that you take your questions to the DNG mail list as there are non-sighted users there who can better answer your questions.
