You might consider that Devuan offers desktop images in these sizes to accommodate all screen sizes:
wide-large    2560 x 1600
wide-small    1280 x 800
narrow-large  2560 x 1920
narrow-small  1280 x 960

In Xfce Jessie the option is "anti-aliasing".  I also use "slight" hinting and find it helps to use a semibold font like Open Sans.

Thanks.  Good to know as I use pluma on Xfce.

Enough is enough.  There is lack of self-control all the way around.  Please consider adulthood as an option.

Free cynwulf from what?   That was nearly 10 years ago over at FDN.  He self-exiled himself from this forum where he is still an active member.

Exactly which file is giving you a problem?  Please post the git url. Those files open just fine here.

I'm genuinely curious as to why an optional added feature for an init system you don't even use elicits "blistering condemnation". It's quite bizarre.

pulseaudio also used to be "optional".  'nuf said.

Did you really have to post that nonsense?

#1763 Re: News & Announcements » sources.list confusion. » 2020-01-29 20:10:23

@mmaglis . . . Thanks for taking the initiative to find that.  I knew it existed and was going to suggest searching for it but thought better of it since I was not inclined to do so myself.   IIUC (that's certainly not a given), all the packages are signed so should be secure even without https.

#1765 Re: News & Announcements » sources.list confusion. » 2020-01-28 22:08:56

A better place for that discussion would probably be the devuan-dev mail list.

Talk is easy and cheap.   Perceived problems do not magically solve themselves.

Study amprolla3.  When you understand it thoroughly, suggest a solution for consideration.

Plentyn . . . Why don't you make these packages available in git.devuan.org?

thanks for the info
I guess the part about CCs on https://devuan.org/os/etc/apt/sources.list is outdated and should be removed then

That page has been revised.

You are correct rolfie. Revisions are now in place at  https://devuan.org/os/etc/apt/sources.list

These days, I am seriously doubting my mental competence and am hoping to pass on some of my responsibilities to the next generation sooner rather than later.  Will post about that project separately.  Hopefully some volunteers will step forward to take up the slack.

@golinux: the current page https://devuan.org/os/ is corrected now, as you said. I looked at his page a few days ago, and it still had the hint to the country codes.

There is a link to https://devuan.org/os/etc/apt/sources.list which still refers to country codes. I would patch that page too.

That section is a partial that is called on both pages.  Last I looked, both pages were picking it up.  Try refreshing the page if you're not seeing it.

(ignore the Devuan web page).

@rolfie . . . please explain what needs to be corrected.  I updated the pages before I posted this thread.  Maybe I missed something.  I should probably add a specific note about the round-robin requiring http here and on the website.

#1772 Re: News & Announcements » sources.list confusion. » 2020-01-25 21:17:48

IIRC the round-robin uses http not https.

Hear ye, hear ye intrepid Devuan users!!

Please use deb.devuan.org in your sources list with http NOT https.  It is a round-robin of all available Devuan package mirrors.

Country Codes do not work properly so do not use them.

We will let you know if that changes.

Please use the release name - jessie, ascii, beowulf - rather than the suite name - oldstable, stable, testing - for reasons explained in the Release Information.

Finally . . . all Devuan mirrors pull from pkgmaster.devuan.org so please do not add extra load by using it in your sources.list.  Use the round-robin - deb.devuan.org - instead.

Country codes are not working in Devuan.  Please use deb.devuan.org in your sources.list.

Good grief.   Get a grip.  You are not the oracle of truth to anyone but yourself which is an audience of one.  Do you not have any place else to troll?
