we cannot fork all that are "eating" by the systemd monster! we must thing in less work due are directed respect the amount of developers/manpowers

in the case of gksu, due not to use GUI applications as root but to use su and the command line instead.

For those GUID programs (stupid, admin its for console, GUI oinly for user level) In the long term pkexec will be used but not very easy to use at the moment.

pkexec allows an authorized user to execute PROGRAM as another user. If username is not specified, then the program will be executed as the administrative super user, root.

FOR NOW SUDO HANDLE DIRECTLY THE RIGHTS FOR XAUTHORITY.. but runs app as root user are stupid.. there's a userspace for taht, there's the main reason of the dissapear of gksu

the complete command line, i do not use that stupid config file

debmirror-devuan  \
 --ignore-missing-release  --ignore-release-gpg \
 --nocleanup --diff=none \
 --source --section=main,main/debian-installer,contrib,non-free  --arch=i386 --dist=jessie  --omit-suite-symlinks \
 --host=pkgmaster.devuan.org --root=devuan --method=http \
 --progress --verbose \
 mirrordirectorydebs

in this case i386, all section including non-free, only jessie, no diff or cleanup if someting goes wrong or faill, rest of options are same as debian

no w i have locally the two flavors, and i see how systemd are invadoing more and more lijnux system arrggggggg

give me a break! I'M USING DEVUAN ANBD I'M TRY TO MIRRROR ONLY DEVUAN NOT MERGED PACKAGES WITH DEVUAN DEBMIRROR PACKAGE

without modification does not mirrored well the devuan repositories

hi after several try's i cannot mirror ONLY the devuan pacakges, just mirrored ALLL and i dont need the debian package

i just want to mirror ONLY THE DEVUAN MODIFIED RESPECT THE DEBIAN PACKJAGES please some one has tokown how to do so?

as can see it, start always to download the debian packages startirng by the 90ad data package that are huge large size

be update men! in debian problem was gone away many time ago,  its now a serious problem in devuan due in debian only the interface have that problems, but in devuan problems are in the keyboard, in the display manager and also in the user environment

hi @fsmithred in DEBIAN i install any login manager in any language order an works! so its not a problem that comes from the system, in devuan always assumed english .. and when i finally made that you said, the keyboard for remote desktop alway set to English..   its a problem assumed that are developed only for developers.

in many many other post i cited enough the bug link.. i'm not the only user with this problem, also i posted in git also in bugtracker etc etc etc please! in servers the performance its superior, but for desktop there's many problems...

umm interesting.. i tested all and live-build its the best, why, same process like debian less pain, all the documentation works for advanced mode, either the sdk side that all are new and novices take it very hard and with pain..

umm there's no easy to packager a specific way to find process for each daemon/service in the OS, a more generic way to find PID and top process must be found..

but in those days nothing its standard unless systemd! oughtch! oh no! what i said!

backports packages works well now time was passed, i used devuan in two server target and no probles yet apart of the reported bugs

strech was release some months ago now and devuan i hope comming soon, but if too much time passed the development team will have a very big work to mantain older release and newer!

by the way no one of the reported bugs in devuan was resolved for me! i try to help re¿solvind but its very complicated the development environment..

why not just a "mentors" site just like debian does for zealots?

sound more like fashion rather than need it! hardware problems comes not only due "still unsuported not up to day" linuxes, also comes due "bad choice of hardware"

in any case, if you take close the other distros and Devuan, desktop fashion are not the target, servers and stability are the obvious target due the release cycle are larger beetween versions

umm if devuan are just debian without systemd, why not work in team with debian.. oh i forgotten, devuan it's actually comes from a dispute with debian.. ;-)

well in any case, why not better just liast of generic or most "equivalents" arm hardware? its better cover many models with this strategy!
