I'm still interested in having this available in the netinstall for Daedalus. Please let me know what my actions should be to have it merged and to be able to test this. smile

I never coded or used git in my life, but thanks for pointing me in the direction I should look at to add this.
I imagine it should be like this:
https://git.devuan.org/devuan/tasksel/src/branch/suites/unstable/debian/control

Recommends:
# One of the actual desktop tasks is needed to get a full desktop environment.
# The order here is significant when installing this task manually;
# when tasksel installs this task it instead selects one of these based
# on the tasksel/desktop debconf setting.
#	 task-xfce-desktop | task-kde-desktop | task-lxde-desktop | task-cinnamon-desktop | task-mate-desktop | task-gnome-desktop ,
##	 task-xfce-desktop | task-cinnamon-desktop | task-kde-desktop | task-lxde-desktop | task-lxqt-desktop | task-mate-desktop ,
	 task-xfce-desktop | task-cinnamon-desktop | task-lxde-desktop | task-kde-desktop | task-lxqt-desktop | task-mate-desktop | task-gnome-desktop | task-ukui-desktop

Where task-ukui-desktop would be a full DE installer similar to the rest of them.

Package: task-ukui-desktop
Architecture: all
Description: UKUI
 This task package is used to install the Devuan desktop, featuring
 the UKUI desktop environment, and with other packages that Devuan users
 expect to have available on the desktop.
Depends: ${misc:Depends}, 
	lightdm,
	task-desktop,
	ukui-session-manager,
	ukui-menu,
	ukui-control-center,
	ukui-settings-daemon,
	ukui-window-switch,
	ukui-media,
	ukui-power-manager,
	peony,
	ukui-themes,
	ukui-greeter,
	kylin-display-switch,
	qt5-ukui-platformtheme,
	kylin-nm,
	ukui-wallpapers,
Recommends:
	ukui-sidebar,
	ukui-screensaver,
# libreoffice widgets using just QT
	libreoffice-qt5,
# Package management.
	synaptic,
# libreoffice is the best word processor / office suite at the moment
	libreoffice,
# make help menu work
	libreoffice-help-en-us,
# make thesaurus work
	mythes-en-us,
# make spellchecker work
	hunspell-en-us,
# make hyphenation work
	hyphen-en-us,
# gui for configuration of the print server
	system-config-printer,

Would this suffice and how would it be possible to create a task-ukui-desktop package? smile

Hey there, as much as people hate necroposters, I feel like it's better to continue the conversation in this post.
Seeing that even GNOME can now be installed through Daedalus netinstall is there any chance we could see UKUI being added as a potential DE for the network install? smile
As far as I can tell it started life as a MATE fork and now it's been rewritten using QT.
It's a pretty lightweight DE and installing it using the instructions for bullseye worked for me without the need for systemd.
Would love to hear if anybody else tried it since then and if there's any interest and hope in adding an option to set up a UKUI Devuan Daedalus.
