#128 News & Announcements » Now Gogs packages for Devuan » 2017-09-15 23:51:49

I packagin the gogs git management painless software for all Debian/Devuan versions:

vegnuli.wordpress.com/2017/09/15/gogs-p … n-venenux/

Due gogs produced binary assumed are in a path where will be all the required files,
the default installation are set to /usr/lib/gogs, due its so hard to change all the references..
so the gogs binary will find all where was run, the daemon set WORKINGDIR to this location.
Rest of path are '/var/lib/gogs' for data files and '/var/log/gogs' for logging files.
The configuration called "custom/conf/app.ini" are set by daemon script to '/etc/gogs/app.ini'

The gogs package setup in port 3000 a self hosting service for git management,
after install automatically browse to http://127.0.0.1:3000 for last step steup or usage.

Daemon service and git repositories:

After installing this package, the daemon automatically will be enabled,
can be disabled at /etc/default/gogs by setting the following line to false as:
  GIT_DAEMON_ENABLE=false
The gogs service by default looks into the directory /var/lib/git/ for
repositories. It expects to have read-write access, all the management will be
made by the gogs so the urls,repositories must setup and populate with gogs interfaces.
A recomended its to set owner of that directory to the gogs user

* Default values

The app.ini default values was changes, the most notables changes are:
* The software user are not 'git', user are 'gogs'.
* The UNIX socket permission was fixed to 644 from insecure value
* The OFFLINE_MODE are set to true, so gravatar are locally only
* All the certificate files are under /var/lib/gogs/certs/
* Will searsh and put git repositories under /var/lib/git
* The prefered/default licence are the GPL v3
* All the file sizes for uploads/attachements are between 12 and 24 Mb
* All paths for file uploads/attachements are in /var/lib/gogs/data/
* Maximun upload number of files are 1 to 3
* The default db for gogs internal work are sqlite3 for easy setup
* Email feature are enabled and assumed localhost at port 25, no certs checks
* Session are file provider and stored at /var/lib/gogs/data/sessions
* Local Avatars due offline mode (but set to true) and in /var/lib/gogs/data/avatars
* There's file log apart of the daemon log, in /var/log/gogs as gogslog.log
* The Raw file render mode unless upstream will always set to false and disabled due security
The daemon script was changed as:
* Working directory are the installatin real directory at /usr/lib/gogs
* Default user and group are 'gogs'
* The daemon arguments to parse are ' web --config /etc/gogs/app.ini' as the custom ini file
Those values are according to the git Debian packages defaults.

* About PAM authentication

The gogs package have enabled pam feature, but if you want it to work with normal Linux passwords,
implicts the user running Gogs must have read access to /etc/shadow, this are a security risk.

* About packagin sources and related runtime/build dependences

The gogs sources have build in more others go projects that must be packaged separated,
so dependency of resulting package are only 'libc6 (>= 2.3.6~)' due the gogs sources
depends on exactly versions in time of those sub projects.

the php packagin now changed in Debian. any older version pre 9 will have broken packages when upgraded

i mean, if some package depends of php5.fpm now the new behaviour are that depends of php7.0-fpm the version sheme will be in the php package..

umm the relation between devuan and debian now are like the relation of debian and winbuntu.. debian more step behing and devuan many step outdated..

If We must use updated version of golang go compiler and project manager:, currently devuan jessie stable only has 1.7 if backports are enabled..

For next devuan stable release:

echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/vegnuli:/golang/Debian_9.0/ /' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:vegnuli:golang.list
wget -nv https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:vegnuli:golang/Debian_9.0/Release.key -O Release.key
apt-key add - < Release.key
apt-get update
apt-get install golang

For devuan jeesie:

echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/vegnuli:/golang/Debian_8.0/ /' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:vegnuli:golang.list
wget -nv https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:vegnuli:golang/Debian_8.0/Release.key -O Release.key
apt-key add - < Release.key
apt-get update
apt-get install golang

IMPORTANT NOTE we have golan 1.4 and 1.8 for each from wheeze to stretch

No matter where repository you choose, the golang depends are very lowest and works inclusively in debian etch, lenny, squeeze!

For Debian 8+, Devuan 1+ or VenenuX 1.X, the default golang will be enough:

cat <<EOF > /etc/apt/preferences.d/prioritybackports
Package: golang*
Pin: release a=jessie-backports
Pin-Priority: 900
EOF
apg-get install golang-1.7 golang

in that repository there also gogs and gitea packaged

#131 Re: Devuan » how to mirror repository Devuan, only the devuan packages! » 2017-08-30 18:40:50

it's perfect! thanks... its for my local at my job!

this work for those that not have internet connection

go to a cybercafe
attach the usb disk
download with debmirror
detach the usb disk
go to your home or work
use locally with "file://" or bypassing with webserver with "htttp://localhost"
or if you have a router, set a ip and use as normal repository.. just added to boot screen allow_unantenticated=true (or something)

the keyring can be avoid! with i9gnore gpg

I have backported the minetest packages (also provide builds for i386 and amd64)

He backportado paquetes minetest (y adicional provisto de algunos builds) aqui:

https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!top … Lmew2FGl9A en el penultimo mensage

* available for debian: wheeze
* available for DEVUAN: jessie or superior o venenuX 1.0

FUETNES Y MODS
uploaded due debian wheeze does not have it!

INSTRUCTIONS:

    download all files to a directorio
    open a console inside that directory
    dpkg -i *minetes_all.deb
    find ./ -iname "*$(dpkg-architecture -qDEB_BUILD_ARCH)*.deb" -exec ls {} \;|xargs dpkg -i
    dpkg -i *_all.deb
    get ready for blocks

many mods in debian seems have proxy'ed in devuan and ovbiously got their bugs.. that's why i made my own packages..

non-sense that non-gamers made that packages!

NOTE: no! i not use the "georgeous" dh1 system for packagin.. its very complicated..
i just download the dsc, extract, remove systemd depends and repackages to buil.. more easy that so many setups!  and i not have network connection..

este segundo comando se asegura solo instalen el paquete de su arquitectura.. el repo experimental se puede agregar a sources.list pero no todos los paquetes se pueden isntalar, asiq ue solo agregen los que sepan...

recordar es experimental y por eso no lo tengo organizado

#136 Devuan » mysql-workbench unusable for alter any structure, crash on alter » 2017-08-11 13:00:00

Well knowed bug: DEVUAN STABLE HAS A UNUSABLE package for alter table
structures ...  i already kwon that main effors are in ascii but users need support, i reported too to debian.

i post here due devuan bug tracking again are staled (not received any reply ...)

BEHAVIOUR:
choose a table, and the point another table but not choosen, alter it!
added or remove some columns and then crash arrival!

UPSTREAM BUGS:
https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=65606
https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=76669
https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=70225

Debian has same problem, yet reported!
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo … bug=871775

SUGGESTED SOLUTION:
backport the ascii mysql-workbench package to jessie solves the situation

in my opinion 6.X releases of mysqlworkbench are very slower, so i'll provide later in few weeks in VenenuX repos 5.X.48 package of it!

You don't like the purpy pale yellow coordination?
Apart from that I can hardly find anything specific to Devuan and its appearance, but you can change whatever you don't like.

well dynebolic uses a wm as desktop, why not just openbox or JWM, its less ugly, and same as lighty! yellow color its good, have a good contrast.. but the desktop its very unconfortable, openbox are more better due does are very simple and menu can be done with a lxpanel or tyni panel

devuan uses XFce4 but apart the vage purple/vine combination (no contrast, tired the eyes in large amount of hours), must have a plain Xfce4 GTK2/GTK3 theme with more great icons rather than tango...

I read your short tutorial in another thread, purely brilliant, I would never have thought of it like that but installing lightdm first like that on a cli iso would indeed pretty much pull in everything you need for a working desktop other than the WM/DE itself...stroke of genius that, quick and dirty, I love it! That's probably how i'll start.

which tutorial? where i can found it?

i try vuudo and seems only are the myolinux with more programs.. please ilustrate me and tell me what comes better and different appart of openbox+"lot of programs" and a dark (again) theme?

Much, much obliged.

well seems you dont have the proger setup/software if the reason are limits! as you can see in my blogs have varous hardware running impossible things.. ;-)

ahh no sound, that's explain why you have some performance.. my eepc have pleny sound and I can boast that i edited 320x240 videos in the openshot

seems that in that machines you dont run any that have pleny use of video or audio.. right? except by the firefox, a hungry memrory program, ...

I've heard about speeding up the Eee PCs with a BIOS upgrade, but by the time I summoned up enough confidence to libreboot my X60s, I couldn't find the ROM. Looks like maybe you know where it is...or maybe some more tricks...

false, speed up's are gained in other form, firs, dont waste your time, how you can speed up a hardware that are fixed to a certanly speed! the problem its the software, see my blog.. you must setup a lot of things and then gain the precious speed ups'

I'll be back after I have a peek. Both of them boot off of SD cards as well as the SSDs and two new 8 gig ones are on their way to be purpified.

the SDD needs other little setups, part of them are in the links that i give to you in the previous post

#144 Re: Devuan » The future of 32bit and Devuan? » 2017-07-27 22:08:46

umm the 900A as a server, its a waste of keyboard, mouse and monitor resources in a one piece..

maybe you need some trick, if you still using the solid state disk and the main disk as boot, need read carefully : http://debianeepc2gsurf.blogspot.com/

The complete overall in english https://friendsofdevuan.org/doku.php/de … -8g-laptop must take care of the filesystem and the mounted boot, also performance when deadlock happened

i think u put your eeepc into server due could not get more graphic power from it.. so you must read that blog..   there's some trick to made graphics runs faster, my son can play mario64 and Final Fantasy here

the only thing that i cannot do pleny, its browse the net, i only do basic thing like revise mail (in example gmail must use web html basic and works great)

i personally dont thing the performance in server mode will be great for and eeepc 32 bits..

i'm interesting to know if you can browse the web pleny with the T43?

#145 Re: Devuan » The future of 32bit and Devuan? » 2017-07-27 19:53:34

yeah T42 i remenber have a fake video ram.. on older linuxes&xorg&xfree86 the amouont of video ram must be set manually to get proper support for see movies.. and play nintendo games emulator

This fragment is somewhat intelligible.  Documentation is important.  We all know that.  It also needs to be written.  It doesn't write itself.  As to where is the right place?  Well, that depends . . .

well i can made, but where? spell check can made by others.. and dont said "hard to track your write", documentation its missing and are need!

I have no idea what you're trying to say here but I do know that you end by again wrongly judging and and insulting those of us working so hard on a project that you bitch about in nearly every post.  Some gratitude for the tremendous effort it's taken to get this far would be appropriate.  But then finding anything positive or remotely helpful in one of your posts is the last thing I'd ever expect.  If you don't like it here and have such a low estimation of our efforts, please move on elsewhere . . .

does users can go here and ask for problems? and then when ask call babyes and other .. so then i still waithing for all the reported bugs, i have problems to track repositories (well at least that was rsync lack of)

i noted that Devuan said in the main page that its a dristribution not copy of debian, but i also read in some where here and in git.debuan that 90% are DIRECTLY copy of debian...

in that case why not copy the debian documentation in a system wiki and then users can made changes over the copy.. if devuan its just a copy without the sytemd, only we must change the systemd related and done!

its a obvious choice and the more inteligent way! please! event pretent to do something that have many lacks

That can't be correct!

again its debuan for the users or for "dev"'s only?
