@quickfur . . .Yes, and I have just re-read New Devuan user here in which you received a very warm welcome.

In that post you gave some personal history regarding Debian/Devuan and your personal life. You were showered with a warm welcome and plenty of information.

You are very good with words but haven't a clue about the history and interpersonal relationships that it has taken to get Devuan to this point and makes it so special. It has been about love and joy and cooperation.

Seems you might not be a good fit with the ethos here . . .

I do hope that you can learn to deal with your anger more constructively going forward . . .

@quickfur . . . No, I am disappointed that you choose to shoot the messenger rather than engage Devuan in a meaningful way. If I have missed something, please correct me.

We will fork the Linux ecosystem and leave the unified world behind. ("Unified world" is an euphemism for "dystopia under the control of a few who took it upon themselves to control everyone else".)  We will develop it in a wholly different direction, where the empowerment of the user matters more than the agenda of the few.

And who is this mythical "WE" of whom you speak? You have no git account. AFAIK have never been seen on IRC or even the mailing lists, at least as quickfur. And one of our jitsi meets? Hahahaha! What have YOU contributed to Devuan besides an endless stream of wasted bits in OT and empty rousing rhetoric to encourage someone else to do the work for you. Epic fail . . ..

It is a good time to be old . . . very old . . .

WOW! You are quite an archeologist, nixer!!  So openly brazen!! How was this post not found nearly 15 years ago?

@zapper . . . My definition of "stupid" is just more inclusive than yours . . .   wink

@rbit . . . Check out this post:

FWIW, I am also a wired user but still miss wicd.

Stupidity has been the driving force of human history. Expecting humans to behave otherwise is fantasy.

Andreas Messer is no stranger to Devuan. He often came to our weekly meets.

This link was one of the last times that we heard from him but if you poke the archives and git you will find more . . .

Thanks for the wonderful news! Would be nice to find a way to get it into the Devuan repos. Anyone up to taking that on? I'll also contact Andreas Messer as he made efforts to port it some years ago.

#294 Re: Devuan » Devuan Excalibur ISO » 2024-09-08 14:59:43

Yes. That is to create an installer iso. Be prepared for possible debugging of scripts involved to get it to work. There are currently no live testing isos because of the rate of changes necessary at this point.

That is a proper use of a semicolon so struggle on . . . 

In addition it is visually pleasing and symmetrical.    smile

By the way . . . you have one too many commas in your last post . . .

Actually two!

I aim to tease; I aim to please

Please note that I am no longer reading this thread. It is a wound of perpetual adolescence that festers and never heals. If things get out of hand and if there are any adults in the room, please call in a mod to deal with it . . . Thanks for all the fish . . . not . . .  smile

#299 Re: Devuan » Devuan Excalibur ISO » 2024-09-06 15:26:45

Currently, no testing installer ISOs are available for Excalibur. You'll have to upgrade from Daedalus. Do the usrmerge before upgrading. Hopefully, the ISOs will be available soon.
