schestowitz-TRhe has asked debian maintainers about it. push or prod can't harm... let's see what the outcome will beSep 25 07:22
schestowitz-TRI finished work in 1.5 hours. Overnight we spent 2 hours choosing photos to upload during the weekend, for the first time in nearly a year (not much to shoot with the lockdowns we do)Sep 25 07:24
schestowitz-TR*finish workSep 25 07:24
Techrights-secIt's not hard work to package, usually, but it is work and it does takeSep 25 07:25
Techrights-seca time commitment in conjunction with the release cycles.Sep 25 07:25
Techrights-secIt's considered entry level, but as mentioned there are too few people withSep 25 07:25
Techrights-seceven entry level skills.  And those with the ability are busy elsewhere. Sep 25 07:25
schestowitz-TRbortzmeyer now counts 1666 capsulesSep 25 07:27
activelowit is alot of work, to meet QA criteriaSep 25 07:27
activelowhave fun reading the gentoo docsSep 25 07:29
activelowduring the night i created 5 ebuilds already, and had finished more if the ugly DNS bug in tor-proxy didn't hit me again with telescope gemini clientSep 25 07:32
activelowso, i debugged and fixed that quickly too, patching tor proxySep 25 07:32
Techrights-secYes.  It's good growth though not exponential.Sep 25 07:33
schestowitz-TRgrowth will be faster when configuring one's capsule is as simple as apt-get agate (or similar) with scripts to bootstrap everything on localhost and a dialogue like they have for LAMP sereversSep 25 07:35
activelowi picked 24 ebuilds for gemini, which required reviewing what's available, those include clients, some gemini libs in python, a markdown converter, and 5 server packagesSep 25 07:36
activelowthose builds are all alpha ones (9999 in gentoo terms), git headSep 25 07:37
activelowi won't touch any other than C or Python, which is enought trouble already (cmake, meson, autotools, make, setuptools); gentoo got some neat ebuild helpers, and integrates seamlessly with gitSep 25 07:39
activelowanother problem is this: i keep the system OFFLINE while developing/compiling, so i need to mirror all git repos locally first, for security reasons, and to avoid accidentsSep 25 07:40
schestowitzactivelow: https://bkhome.org/news/202109/chromium-compiled-for-15-hours-before-failing.htmlSep 25 07:41
-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-bkhome.org | Chromium compiled for 15 hours before failingSep 25 07:41
activelowbtw. lagrange renders nicely on framebuffer (without X11), and it compiled in a few minutes on arm64 SBC, and lagrange is a heavyweight among gemini clientsSep 25 07:42
Techrights-secYes, each distro has a whole different set of QA hoops.  The technical skillsSep 25 07:43
Techrights-secare not that esoteric, it's mostly just time consuming.  Sep 25 07:43
Techrights-secThe server is a second, but similar, problem.  I'll take a look at what's inSep 25 07:43
Techrights-secthe ports database after the next release of OpenBSD.  If there is somethingSep 25 07:43
Techrights-secreasonable for Gemini, I might add an instance^Wcapsule.  Sep 25 07:43
Techrights-secSo far the latest Ubuntu has only the client elpa-elpher and no server Sep 25 07:43
Techrights-secsoftware.  Sep 25 07:43
schestowitz-TRactivelow: yes, it is the heaviest I have seenSep 25 07:45
schestowitz-TRJuly latest git from Jon's site?Sep 25 07:46
schestowitz-TRor latest stable release?Sep 25 07:46
activelownope, i pulled in latest git head todaySep 25 07:46
schestowitz-TR1.6.5Sep 25 07:46
activelowof cause, i cannot test all builds in detail, gentoo ensures some minimum QA with their ebuild system, once merged i do minimum acceptanceSep 25 07:47
activelowmeaning, program must launch, not crash, man page available, no file collisions; dependencies, source-uri/git, license notedSep 25 07:48
activelowi cannot verify a full use-flag/dependency graph initially, this will require gentoo-catalyst to drop a full ISO/arm-firmware relaseSep 25 07:48
activelowwhich i am planning for another one until end of this year, which will fully exclude X11, and integrate directfb insteadSep 25 07:49
activelowbtw. yesterday i verified legacy BSD pty support: tmux needs patching, otherwise i feel confident and will enforce legacy pty with my distroSep 25 07:53
activelowif Alan Cox resigned over a dispute with pty handling, there must have been reasonsSep 25 07:53
activelowgood nightSep 25 07:55

Techrights-secWhat was that about LF trying to shutdown all Linux / GNU/Linux conferencesSep 25 09:30
Techrights-secexcept for the ones they control?  I wonder if there is evidence of themSep 25 09:30
Techrights-secpushing CoCs everywhere.  Linus needs to take his trademark, fork the code, andwalk.    Sep 25 09:30
schestowitz-TRafaik, some people who read TR did contact Torvalds. At least gives him the idea.Sep 25 09:31
Techrights-secI hope he has at least given the idea consideration.  I presume that Sep 25 09:34

Techrights-secThe trouble started when it cancelled the community representative.Sep 25 09:35
Techrights-sec^representation.Sep 25 09:35
schestowitzother /types/ of issues preceded that, so it started before itSep 25 09:36
*rianne_ has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)Sep 25 09:37
Techrights-secYes, though the removal of community representation was a /huge/ warningSep 25 09:41
Techrights-secto the world. Sep 25 09:41
Techrights-secRegardless, the corruption arrived quickly.  What could be done toSep 25 09:41

Techrights-secright charter.  That CoC crap did its job in distracting from the infiltrationSep 25 09:41
Techrights-secand destruction.  Sep 25 09:41
Techrights-secHeck they even signed Linus up for unnecessary treatment.  Sep 25 09:41
schestowitzIn BI, recently, they stated clearly that he had been signed for therapists as if he was mentally ill. Smacks of Communist Russia.Sep 25 09:42
schestowitzI regard that a form of self-humiliation and degradation, akin to what was done to Assange to demoralise him Sep 25 09:42
schestowitzthe stallman.org site has not been the same. Rianne is now telling me it's like "lite" (cigs and chocolate). RMS-lite, Linus-lite. That's how the authorities like it. Self-censorship.Sep 25 09:45
schestowitzLithuania says that China now enforces this using 'phones'.Sep 25 09:46
Techrights-secAnd got away with it.Sep 25 09:50
Techrights-secYes, inappropriate, wrong, and unnecessary medical treatment was / is usedSep 25 09:50
Techrights-secas a form of torture.  Sep 25 09:50
Techrights-secYes.Sep 25 09:50
Techrights-secWith Assange lies and disinformation still circulate.  And some of those whoSep 25 09:50
Techrights-secwere actively spreading those lies are still around in FOSS circles, justSep 25 09:50
Techrights-sec.  Sep 25 09:50
Techrights-secToo bad.  Yes.  The option is present in the various models but only turnedSep 25 09:51

Techrights-secroom to use weasel words to dodge the question in the press.  Sep 25 09:51
