News that might affect BunsenLabs

^ +1 for Moonlight - it could also provide a good basis for Lithium mods. I also like the gradient idea on the komodo theme, with the squiggly motif.

hhh · 2018-12-20 00:32:20

Lost Dog is even more SpaceFun-ish, but I like it, Again, though, it would last through maybe one reboot.

Agreed on Komodo, I see potential there.

hhh · 2018-12-20 00:33:42

I'd vote for Dog in Harmony if it didn't have the "dog" in it!

I also like the concept of E-legance.

hhh · 2018-12-20 00:38:57

@damo was too late to submit these concepts, I would have voted for them (the newest 4 walls)...

^ Kind of you, but OK for walls I think, not distro themeing. Also the Debian specifications are quite onerous!

Indeed. Note that none, I think, of the submissions have done all of the work required. Which is fair, to wait for the go-ahead from Debian.

Agreed, none of them was particularly exciting.

FWIW I voted for E-legance because it was the simplest. I don't really want recognizable objects - dogs, moons etc - on my default wallpaper, just a bit of abstract eye-comfort (though OK Moonlight is acceptable).

I liked Komodo till I looked at it close up and saw the map. Something more abstract using a similar palette might be nice though.

Chose Droplets and SynchronizedMotions as follow-ups, but I far prefer the Helium Beam really.

somebody posted their own art on fdn a while ago. i loved the stuff that they came up with from around here onwards, the abstracted swirl/D thing. this one was the best overall proposal in many people's opinions.

kcin did sumbit his stuff, but not the designs i liked :-(

GitHub now gives free users unlimited private repositories

The GitHub Blog wrote:

GitHub Free now includes unlimited private repositories. For the first time, developers can use GitHub for their private projects with up to three collaborators per repository for free. Many developers want to use private repos to apply for a job, work on a side project, or try something out in private before releasing it publicly. Starting today, those scenarios, and many more, are possible on GitHub at no cost. Public repositories are still free (of course—no changes there) and include unlimited collaborators.

BL currently uses GitHub so I thought this was a relevant story.

Here is the freeze policy/timeline for buster...

https://release.debian.org/buster/freeze_policy.html

@The Team, note that the Transition Freeze begins in 4 days. We can begin development in earnest at that time, IMO.

johnraff · 2019-01-09 02:38:53

^For the last few days I've been migrating packages to Lithium and putting them in our experimental repo:

deb https://kelaino.bunsenlabs.org/~johnraff/debian lithium main

(Also "lithium" branches on GitHub.)

They're not all done yet, and of course this is only getting packages - more-or-less Helium copies - that sort-of work on Buster. The work of making the proper Lithium desktop will start from there.

This is encouraging:

Starting 2019-01-12, new transitions and large/disruptive changes are no longer acceptable for buster.

So the rug won't be pulled out from under us.

@johnraff, there was a big cpp-8/gcc-8 update that took 2 days to go through, it upgraded for me successfully today. Inkscape updated today, neofetch updated today... Plasma version is at 5.14.3. I wouldn't be surprised if there were still a lot of upgrades coming in this weekend, but I think the gcc-8 one will be the last big system upgrade.

Thanks for the repo uploads! I'm jazzed, man, looking forward to a new install next week!

Bearded_Blunder · 2019-01-09 23:28:48

I don't like gcc upgrades.. I still have a system running Hydrogen.. because some custom compile at runtime stuff doesn't like gcc in stretch

hhh · 2019-01-09 23:34:46

Well. Thanks for sharing?

It looks as if there's a chance Buster's installer will support secure boot, for amd64 anyway:

Yes in stretch-backports there are now both signed and unsigned 4.19 kernels.

New In Buster a Debian Wiki page that will probably get added to over the coming weeks...

Gotta love the humor in that wiki page. Who says Debian devs have no humor???
