Yes, but you need to understand that the conversations are sometimes asynchronous. It might be minutes or hours before someone answers you. Stay logged in.

I'm not sure where the best place to post upgrade reports would be. Didn't think about that yet, but I plan to do it. My first report will be posted today or tomorrow.

Looks like the answer is yes. Only thing I changed was gtk3 to gtk2.

dh_auto_configure -- --with-gtk=gtk2 --enable-html --enable-gio --enable-spell --enable-sourceview --enable-icon-browser

Here's the code:
https://git.devuan.org/fsmithred/yad/tree/master

Packages are here (0.38). I made them for jessie, but they work on ascii.
http://distro.ibiblio.org/refracta/file … _packages/

What does html support do?

I expect that mirrors can set their own refresh rate. Most times they check, there won't be any changes, so nothing to do.

Dyslectics Untie! It's pacman. Debian/Devuan has update-notifier in jessie. The name has been changed to gnome-packagekit in stretch, and you can't have it because of the chain of deps. There is a way to have conky show the number of updates available. (Search dng archives or ask me nicely and I'll figure out what I did.)

Here is the official announcement:

https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=1671

Official announcement should be coming in a few hours.

# amprolla3
All the proposed- repos are optional. They contain packages that are working their way into the main repo.
Last night I tested pkgmaster by upgrading an ascii that hasn't been upgraded in over a month. I only used the first four of the following deb lines (the /merged lines), and I got some updates. Then I added the last two (the /devuan lines), updated and tried an upgrade, but there was nothing left to upgrade. But that may not always be the case.

ASCII

deb http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged/ ascii main contrib non-free
deb http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged/ ascii-updates main contrib non-free
deb http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged/ ascii-proposed-updates main contrib non-free
deb http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged/ ascii-security main contrib non-free

deb http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/devuan/ ascii-proposed main contrib non-free
deb http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/devuan/ ascii-proposed-security main contrib non-free

Backports

deb http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged/ ascii-backports main contrib non-free

Ceres

deb http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged/ ceres main contrib non-free

The fixed version is in ascii-security.

It's up again. Note that I posted all of this in advance of the official announcement. So this is not the final word. That's part of why it's here instead of in Announcements. That will come.

The other two repos that I mentioned above are ascii-proposed and ascii-proposed-security. They are in /devuan, not /merged. I believe their purpose is for packages in devuan that don't come from debian. I haven't tried them yet.

UPDATE: AMPROLLA3 WILL BE DOWN PART OF TODAY FOR MORE WORK. WAIT!

I might have to revise the source lines I posted above. There are a couple in /devuan that aren't in /merged.

https works on pkgmaster, so you can use apt-transport-https if you want

you can use amrolla3 for jessie.

stick with codenames to avoid confusion - use jessie/ascii/ceres rather than stable/testing/unstable - we need to get in sync with debian, where jessie is oldstable.

I'll revise this again later today or tomorrow.

And I'll fix the typo above - should be "devuan-keyring" not "devuan keyring".

Here's one that runs in a terminal. It's one of my earliest bash projects. I never thought about yadifying it, but you can feel free to use it, borrow from it or completely transform it.

OK, I didn't realize (or maybe I forgot) that wicd is not in the DVD. I'll file a bug report if there isn't already one. And I can't find ceni in the debian or devuan repos. I can offer a few possible ways to get around this.

First, boot with the Edimax plugged in.

If your wireless network is encrypted, use wpa_cli to set up your connection. You'll need to read 'man wpa_cli' or find an online tutorial.

Once you're online, you can check for the broadcom firmware. In Synaptic, go to Settings, Repositories, and make sure that the line with contrib and non-free is checked. It should look like this (or it may have 'packages.devuan.org' instead of 'auto.mirror.devuan.org').

deb http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged/ jessie main contrib non-free

 
If no such line exists, add it to /etc/apt/sources.list

Then update the package cache. ('Reload' in Synaptic).

You should be able to find the firmware and wicd-gtk. Install them.

Alternative solutions:
  - use a network cable to get connected and install what you need.
  - use the desktop-live iso and reinstall. The firmware and wicd will already be installed.

I  must have missed this the first time.

convert $1 

This makes my previous advice unnecessary. (Or did you edit that?)

add

set -x

to the beginning of the script, and it will tell you everything it does. Maybe the error will be obvious.

I think the desktop file replaces %f with the filename, so that filename is the first argument of the command.
Therefore, you should be able to put 

filename="$1"

at the beginning of your script and then use "$filename" wherever you need it in the script.
