Autumn 2025 Version is out!

I just finished uploading the latest version of "darkness". Biggest changes:

- TDE 14.2-DEVELOPMENT
- Xlibre instead of Xorg - thanks to @callmetango
- new background images
- kernel 6.16.8
- own repository for darkness-specific packages (ATM a package for the repo and the wallpapers)

@samhain: Thank you very much for your efforts and for choosing XLibre! We spread the word a little bit:

@all You're very welcome, and thank you for choosing XLibre, installing and testing it! We at XLibre are currently working on upstreaming the seatd support in https://github.com/X11Libre/xserver/issues/202 so XLibre can one day be officially included in Devuan.

@greenjeans @JayneCobb You are welcome and I like to say thank you to all of you for the very early support of XLibre on Devuan! Since the creation of DEB packages by https://github.com/apebl at http://github.com/xlibre-deb there are a lot of opportunities of bringing XLibre to the DEB world.

I am curious to see what your tests result in.

@delgado

@callmetango: Thanks for providing a xlibre package for devuan.

Unfortunately, the installation would remove the proprietary nvidia driver and virtualbox on my excalibur box.

You are welcome! Could you please report this issue at https://github.com/xlibre-deb/devuan/issues since I am only the messenger? ;-)

Hi, I am callmetango, one of the maintainers of the XLibre project.

I would like to inform you that https://github.com/apebl created a third-party repository for installing XLibre on Devuan at https://github.com/xlibre-deb/devuan. You may find this interesting.
