Man it's great ain't it? I'm in the big love right now with ffmpeg, so many things you can do.

@brocashelm, I probably understand your frustration with gtk 3 better than most right now due to immersion for the last year, it's a real pain to deal with. But it's likely the best candidate for forking gtk, the right group of smart people could fix a lot of it's shortcomings and unneeded complexities.

Igor, how does installing fftrate have anything at all to do with the OP's question?

Meanwhile (yet still on topic), I have just packaged and uploaded another piece of free software (my apologies for it not being vital to Devuan's core infrastructure).

So yeah, Sourceforge is just too easy, and I don't see a compelling alternative right now other than this idea forming here. Lots of people are sick of git and all the weird pageantry one must endure to create an "official" package.

Just the first thought in my head which may not be helpful, but what you describe now seems like it may be a timing issue during start-up? In my autostart folders I sometimes have to shuffle some things around and/or add timeouts.

Hi zappy! Are you referring to the video player? If so i'm about to package tomorrow probably, just a plain .deb using dpkg-deb --build like my other ones. This app was 100% built on an Alsa-only system, it plays nice with AlsaTune too. That being said I don't know how it would play if at all with sndio. It also is built on Daedalus libraries like the music player, and won't work on Excalibur until I build it against the newer libav. It is possible to install the 59 packages alongside the 61 packages and have it work, but that's a lot of extra depends. You could try building it yourself, it's just the main script that needs doing, the wrapper and the scraper are just bash/yad and i'm happy to share the source code, build depends and compile command that i'm currently using.

Also just in general, probably not going to work right on Wayland, the script includes an X11-specific hack and headers.

If you're talking about the music player the .deb is already up on my sourceforge.

Appreciate that good buddy, yeah I hang out over there sometimes, great group of folks who do some really interesting work.

Just spitballing here, but I always have some issues with my AMD machines until I install firmware-amd-graphics.

Wow, don't know what I did to deserve that after 10 years with Devuan.

Pretty sure I made some contributions along the way, but as I don't keep score I couldn't give you a breakdown or a total.

Also pretty sure i've mentioned multiple times that I have accelerated my learning curve by many orders of magnitude this year, with one of the goals of that being able to help more, maybe maintain some packages at least.

Pooh...I say we break some s**t including new ground and let creativity loose.

It's not like it's obligatory.

"You are about to enable the user-repository, there may be dragons and panicking of kernels, don't do this if you lack skills and guts, and watch out for that greenjeans guy and his old-man-yells-at-clouds apps and not for nothing but exponentialmatrix is also very ornery"

I like this idea too!

Yeah I saw that part, I was more interested in what DE.

Well that in of itself would explain the problems.

Really the only thing that needs installing is ntpsec, it has the daemon and everything else needed, it pre-configures to using debian's ntp. Never had to do any configging to it, just installed it and it worked, still does.
