@vecna . . . what nick are you using on irc?  I'm not seeing you there under your forum nick.  And as fsmithred suggested, stay logged in!

#2902 Re: Devuan » Excellent, Thank you » 2017-10-27 19:22:59

Can you get to freenode #devuan-dev?

#2903 Re: Devuan » Excellent, Thank you » 2017-10-27 17:32:42

@vecna . . . we currently need testing of ascii upgrade paths in various permutations.  Perhaps you'd want to play with that a bit and post your results?

Devuan/Jessie --> Devuan/Ascii
Devuan/Jessie --> Devuan/Ascii with eudev
Debian/Jessie --> Devuan/Ascii
Debian/Jessie --> Devuan/Jessie --> Devuan/Ascii
Debian/Stretch --> Devuan/Ascii

Welcome, vecna. Your story is a familiar one.  We tried to turn the tide but failed within Debian.  Now we rise up here. As to packaging . . . you might want to have a look at this.  And please, do come find us on freenode #devuan..

From the source:

This might also be helpful

More questions?  Try freednode #devuan-arm

While there may be some truth in what you're saying, you might want to re-think your attitude towards cynwulf. Also here.  He is not someone to be trivialized.   He's been around for a long time and has earned my respect over the years.  I am delighted that he has found his way here . . .

1) Replacing udev with eudev: https://github.com/gentoo/eudev https://gitlab.com/trios-linux

Eudev will help to distance Devuan further from udev and thus systemd. It is stable, actively developed, and accommodating. Barry K. of Puppy Linux has received help firsthand from presumably their lead developer, blueness (i.e., https://github.com/gentoo/eudev/issues/60)

I've used TRIOS Linux and it was one of the best out of the box experience for my Dell Latitude D630 hardware. They're software has stagnated for about a couple years, yet they're still active on the Serbian forums. They were recently removed from the Without-Systemd wiki due to inactivity. The reason I bring this up is  because they compiled and configured eudev for the Debian system which I failed to do after an attempt on AntiX yesterday. I'm unsure whether this already compiled eudev can be employed in Devuan's future or not. The main difference is TRIOS uses openRC whereas Devuan uses SysVinit. Perhaps eudev will be adopted simultaneously with openRC.

eudev is already available for testing on ascii and will likely be included in the ascii stable release.  There is plenty of discussion about this on the ML, irc and forum.

Note there is no DNZ list.  Corrected to DNG above.  And here is the reference.

Then, I suggest, you use it!

I do every day, thank you.  We are just reading from different scripts.  Let's just agree to disagree.

I'm going to split those related posts to another thread.

Well before you start piling on with any further chastisement...  the OP was apparently issued with a 1 week ban on 08/10/17.

If those were the terms, then this should have expired, but as yet they haven't returned.

It was removed exactly one week later.  But if the bad mouthing continues will be reinstated.

Ah the great authority of the internet.  Not impressed.  I had this knowledge deeply embedded in my brain by the time I was 10.  Back then peeps actually knew what they were talking about and teaching

How can you go over to Vuu-do if it's 'demised'?  Of course it isn't and we all know that but that phrase doesn't.  wink

Depends how you read it, there's a comma in there that separates the '& Vuu-Do' from the demised #1, & relates to the original statement about AntiX. smile
But, I suppose I could have put a semi colon instead. wink

That would still be a little murky.  Might have been better to say something like:

. . .  since the demise of #! (Crunchbang) & the arrival (or whatever) of Vuu-Do

Never, ever leave an ambiguity . . .

You can tell it's a slow day . . . LOL!

@macondo . . . even though this is the Off-topic forum, repeatedly spamming it with youtube videos is a bit much.  Just sayin'

Greetings cynwulf!  Was wondering if you'd ever popup here.

@JoshuaFlynn . . . see you next week.

#2925 Re: Off-topic » Arguments against systemd » 2017-10-08 00:26:33

That is pretty twisted.  It's obvious to anyone with connected brain cells that devel was a troll.  But your first post was the flame into which the moth flew.  Your continuing argumentative responses defending your poor judgment indicate that you are STILL clueless.  That's why you're getting the heat.  It seems that not all trolls are pro-systemd . . .
