WiCd consists of two parts. A daemon which is performing all tasks and a user-interface. The daemon is running on root privileges, whereas the user-interface is running with low user privileges. Communication is established through dbus.
Concerning the topic of code review: In the open source space this is the job of the maintainer. As understood, the current maintainer of WiCd is Andreas Messer. WiCd has been out there for long time and Andreas seems to have inherited the burden of maintainership. With low efforts he has done good. As far as I can see from the commits, the python 3 porting of the daemon as well as the ncourses user-interface was done by him. As the GTK lib of the python 2 implementation was not ported to python 3, he struggled hard porting also this important part of wicd. This work was finally done by Takahiro Yoshizawa. Takahiro Yoshizawa also repaired the install scripts - actually I did not managed to get Andreas work installed on devuan.
Hoping that Takahiro Yoshizawa will donate his work to the official branch of wicd, I hope that Andreas will accept the code for mainline. Of course after reviewing it addressing security aspects. IMHO the license is the first curcial thing to be clarified and I hope that Andreas is able to contact Takahiro Yoshizawa in this regard. Maybe they are already in contact.
btw: wicd is back: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=6842
good news everyone - wicd is back!
It was forked on launchpad by a user called hanaguro. He was working very hard on wicd python 3 port during this summer on his repo:
https://git.launchpad.net/~hanaguro/wicd/
Today I cloned the repo and was able installing wicd with following steps:
- installed all libnotify packets via synaptic (search and install them all)
- apt-install python3-urwid
and then used the installer in the main directory:
- python3 setup.py configure
as root:
- python3 setup.py install
works as a charm on daedalus and I am happy like a child :-) Now I have to find out how to thank hanaguro ...
Addendum: Might have been included in orphan-sysvinit-scripts (not checked):
Upgrading to Devuan 4, i have noticed that the package is missing the init script. The bug was already filed at the Debian side:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo … bug=997054
where the bug filer asked to keep the init script included. Unfortunately, the wish sounded more like a demand (for init freedom) and was abruptly declined by the package maintainer.
If somebody is using powerdns as authoritative nameserver the following script taken from a Devuan 3 installation still works:
∴root∴/u/l/bin $ cat /etc/init.d/pdns

Maybe its possible to fork pdns-server (pdns-recursor is still forked) for devuan to resolve this issue.
Many, Many thanks for the efforts in maintaining init freedom!!!!!!
