*XRevan86 really likes aptitude, it's a PM that can interactively accept commands and I appreciate it.Sep 05 01:10
MinceRunfortunately, it uses the APT system and is thus as unreliable as APT itselfSep 05 01:11
XRevan86I also know that it's a big pile of… well, perl, and can eat quite a bit of memory.Sep 05 01:11
XRevan86MinceR: APT I consider to be one of the more reliable ones.Sep 05 01:12
MinceRcould be, but it still shits itself way too oftenSep 05 01:12
MinceRit seems to me that no package management system was created with reliability as a main goalSep 05 01:12
XRevan86dpkg recognises inconsistency issues fairly well.Sep 05 01:14

MinceRso, too complex to work reliably? :>Sep 05 01:26
oiaohmostree is designed to give you multi snapshots to roll back to if update goes wrong.Sep 05 01:26
MinceRwhich won't help you at all if ostree itself fails to workSep 05 01:27
oiaohmostree is designed with very few rules to work.   Uses hardlinks in file system a lot.Sep 05 01:28
oiaohmand you don't overwrite or modify files with OStree.Sep 05 01:28

MinceRsounds a bit like the old GoboLinux systemSep 05 01:28
oiaohmYep modernised.Sep 05 01:29
MinceRthat one seemed promising, but the distro itself didn't receive much love and since then the system was replaced with one that is in my opinion too complexSep 05 01:29
oiaohmto take advantage of newer feature to prevent applications altering files and the like they should not.Sep 05 01:29
MinceRwhat if the "application" is the shell i'm trying to fix the system with?Sep 05 01:30
oiaohmThe ostree rules are hard.  https://ostree.readthedocs.io/en/latest/manual/introduction/#atomic-transitions-between-parallel-installable-read-only-filesystem-trees  Even  to fix a system.   You create new files to replace old.   Modify existing files managed by ostree is forbid by ostree design.Sep 05 01:32
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-ostree.readthedocs.io | Introduction - OSTreeSep 05 01:32
MinceRhard rules can create breakageSep 05 01:33
MinceRin APT, they often doSep 05 01:33
MinceRit will refuse to transition from a broken state to a working state because rules are in the waySep 05 01:33
oiaohmNote the parallel file system trees with ostree.Sep 05 01:33
oiaohmSo you have a broken file system with ostree you create a new tree to fix it with new fixed files while resuing broken.Sep 05 01:34

oiaohmThe rules of ostree are not as limiting as APT design.Sep 05 01:34
MinceRi seeSep 05 01:35
oiaohmBut the rules of ostree are 100 percent strict.Sep 05 01:35
oiaohmAPT you can make packages that in fact break different rules.Sep 05 01:35
oiaohmOf course that causes many levels of hell with APT.Sep 05 01:35
MinceRapparently ostree has no notion of a file belonging to a given package, thoughSep 05 01:37
MinceRso how will it help me cleanly uninstall a package?Sep 05 01:37
MinceRthe focus on _rebooting_ into a changed system also seems to imply that the problem ostree intends to solve is very different from what i would use a package manager forSep 05 01:40
oiaohmostree used in flatpak and silverblue and endless is not rebooting.     Parellel installable file systems.   Gets more interesting with cgroup mount namespaces.   So you can in fact have multi read only filesystem trees in use at the same time.Sep 05 01:42
MinceRicSep 05 01:43
oiaohmUsing ostree raw does get head bending like how many trees should I really have so I can delete the trees usefully.Sep 05 01:43

oiaohmostree gives you like btrfs/zfs snapshots to roll back to on lot more basic file systems.Sep 05 01:45
MinceRhow do you get back disk space, for example from really old versions of stuff?Sep 05 01:45
oiaohmThat is one of the features of ostree once you have file existing not connected to any existing tree  because you have deleted the trees it deletes the files.Sep 05 01:46

oiaohmYes that also exploits the feature of using file system hardlinks.Sep 05 01:49

oiaohmMinceR: most Linux package management has not been designed to take advantage of hardlinks or file system snapshots usefully.   Yes using hardlinks lead you to the ostree restrictions on what you are allowed todo and not do.Sep 05 01:57
MinceRhardlinking directories isn't even recommendedSep 05 01:58

MinceRand there are many filesystems that don't support snapshotsSep 05 01:59
oiaohmThat is the fun point of ostree it does hardlink directories.Sep 05 01:59
MinceR"fun"Sep 05 01:59
oiaohmIt safe due to the read only rules.Sep 05 01:59
MinceRso how hard does ostree break ".."? :>Sep 05 01:59
oiaohmAs long as the read only rules obeyed without file system storage is not damage next to impossible.Sep 05 02:00
oiaohmEven then with ostree checksums it can detect and repair damasge.Sep 05 02:00
oiaohmostree allowing multi boot file system states means one fails the boot loader on next boot can roll automatically to prior working version.,Sep 05 02:01
oiaohmYou can split the tree in the case you update tree makes one program work and another fail.    All the fun stuff to work around issues.Sep 05 02:02

oiaohmMinceR: thing to remember embedded system like in aircraft and medical need to be able to recover from a update mistake without any user intervention.   This is areas where ostree is used.   Ostree says that Linux package mangers could be a lot more resistant to issues.  Sep 05 02:08
MinceRyeah, but it seems to me one would still need to build a package manager on top of itSep 05 02:08
MinceRfor example: do transactions while enforcing dependencies; do transactions while ignoring dependencies; check the system for dependency violations and report them, if anySep 05 02:09
oiaohmYou can put apt and rpm both on top of ostreeSep 05 02:09
oiaohmrpm on top of ostree is fedora silverblue.Sep 05 02:10
oiaohmendlessos is apt on top of ostree for the core os.Sep 05 02:10

oiaohmYes both of those gain the ostree autorecover.Sep 05 02:11
oiaohmRemember you still gain the means to split the tree with ostree under old school package managementSep 05 02:12
MinceRthey're probably still both broken thoughSep 05 02:13
MinceRyou can just sometimes dodge it by reverting to an earlier stateSep 05 02:13
oiaohmOr mount both trees so that you can run the two different brokens.Sep 05 02:22
oiaohmSo X application broken in old tree Y applicaiton broken in new tree.  Just mount both and run Y in old tree and X in new tree.Sep 05 02:22
MinceRyeah, but i'd prefer to be able to keep maintaining the systemSep 05 02:23
MinceRand if yum decided to start a transaction it can't do anything with, then that's still gone, ostree or notSep 05 02:23
MinceRand if apt tells me "...but is not going to be installed" then i'm still up shit creek without a paddle (or information about what apt's problem is), regardless of ostreeSep 05 02:24

oiaohmostree under apt you can be a lot more brutal.   Worst case you can just spin a new tree in.Sep 05 02:25
MinceRsounds more like working around the package manager's brokenness with bedrock than an actual new package managerSep 05 02:26
oiaohmRemember you have many root trees with ostree.   So if current root tree will not update  you can basically create a new tree and do a new install while using the old tree that will not update.,Sep 05 02:26
MinceRsame thing with bedrockSep 05 02:26
oiaohmNot quite bedrock is not designed to in fact duplicate up it Strata's   Where ostree is.Sep 05 02:32
MinceRindeed, but it too enables me to keep using a broken system while installing a new one beside itSep 05 02:33
MinceRand then to use them togetherSep 05 02:33
oiaohmostree you would say bedrock taken as far as you can.   bedrock limit on duplicating strata makes recovery harder.Sep 05 02:34
MinceRostree would need some extra stuff in order to be able to replace bedrockSep 05 02:35
MinceRfor example, a hijack install scriptSep 05 02:35

ChaekyungThere is speculation, for example: http://techrights.org/2019/06/05/linux-com-future-uncertain/ , that the Linux Foundation now has commercial goals incompatible with its stated aim of supporting the growth of Linux. I don't have a reference meeting Wikipedia standards, but it wouldn't be surprising since Microsoft became a financial supporter of the Linux Foundation.Sep 05 18:12

DaemonFC[m]schestowitz__: The Democrats gave Clinton a blink and you'll miss him appearance and haven't had Carter speak for decades.Sep 05 20:19
DaemonFC[m]They have to hide what they were doing as recently as 20 years ago and hope nobody looks too closely at it.Sep 05 20:19
DaemonFC[m]Carter gave enough lip service to segregationists and Clinton gave enough to racists in the south that both of them managed to pull off a "southern strategy", although by 1996 Clinton's was pretty much gone.Sep 05 20:20
DaemonFC[m]He won by so many electoral votes in 1992 that he didn't need many of the states that he later lost to Bob Dole somehowSep 05 20:21
DaemonFC[m]I don't think that the impeachment thing really moved the needle that much in Florida for Al Gore, but they were doing all kinds of nasty things like listing Pat Buchanan second on a butterfly ballot, so that they'd trick some people into voting for him instead of Al Gore.Sep 05 20:22
DaemonFC[m]In 2004, Karl Rove shored Bush up at the state level by putting anti-gay marriage ballot initiatives on the ballots in states where the idea was very unpopular.Sep 05 20:23
DaemonFC[m]Thereby ensuring people would come to vote to pass those and vote for Bush while they were there.Sep 05 20:23
DaemonFC[m]Governor Pritzker in Illinois has been self-funding a PAC to get people to vote by mail. He wants as many people to vote as possible because it reduces the percentage that have to vote yes on the Progressive Tax. Sep 05 20:24
DaemonFC[m]Even if they vote no, the act of voting  at all reduces the threshold to 50% of the people who are voting in the election.Sep 05 20:25
DaemonFC[m]I've been seeing a lot of signs up for the Republican prosecutor.Sep 05 20:25
DaemonFC[m]I was thinking about ordering a bunch of stickers that say FUCK on them and putting them over "re-elect".Sep 05 20:26
