After seeing these :

aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git

aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git

Which basically downloads a DEB package, extracts the binaries and moves them to the correct places under /usr

I wonder: How many AUR packages do the same, and just get the deb package to install it in ?

@aurocha

Ya, eu ja apanhei na net utilizadores de Arch a queixarem-se de que: Manjaro não é Arch por causa dessas modificações.

I use Debian btw :)

@brunomiguel

A idea que tenho é que o Endevour é uma metadistro, semelhante ao manjaro.
Quais as principais diferenças com manjaro

@aurocha

we've finally managed to publish a bunch of the Ansible roles that we've written and relied on for years 🎉 Here's a post with all the deets autonomic.zone/blog/ansible-ro happy infra hacking!

If you make a lib that is useful and it is stabilized, the distro packagers will package it.

@absolucy

But if distros ship unstable software so that app developers can use the latest thing in their apps it's the users that will notice it the most when there are bugs. Distribution developers (with maybe the exception of a few special distros) have the job of delivering a stable system to the end user. After that the end user can do whatever he wants with that system. Not of making end users suffer.

We have a deal on the common charger! 🇪🇺

This means more savings for EU consumers and less waste for the planet:

🔌 harmonised fast-charging technology
🔌 unbundling of sale of chargers

@devrtz @dean A user can do whatever he wants with his device.
And sure there can be leading/bleeding/breaking edge distros.

But distros should warn their users what they are in for when selecting their distro. So that users make an informed choice.

A distro shipping unfinished WIP work in core packages without warning users is reckless to say the least.

I started out by making ink drawings - especially cat portraits, as gifts or commissions. This one shows one of the cats I'm taking care of right now, in his usual sleeping position, among the catnip :) ❤️

However, the cat amount in my family is growing so fast, I'm already 8 cats behind with my drawings!

As you can see, this one is from 2013, and I was really into Art Nouveau back then 😅 🔥.

@dylanvanassche I have signed this letter too. Shipping unfinished work gives upstream a bad reputation, makes support a big hassle and disincentivizes developers to work in public.
#dontshipwip

do-not-ship.it

📢 📢 📢 Today we publish an Open Letter from developers to the #Linux #community regarding shipping unfinished patches to users.

Shipping unfinished patches harms the user experience and slows down the review process in #FOSS projects to improve the patches.

You can read our Open Letter at: do-not-ship.it

If you agree with this letter, you can support it by signing it, see: do-not-ship.it/sign

#donotship #openletter #community #mobile #development #userexperience #opensource #PSA

An open letter from developers to #Linux distro maintainers and the wider community on publishing unfinished, work in progress patches to end-users.

Read it here: do-not-ship.it/

#donotship #linuxmobile #opensource

While I understand that you're excited about new features and bug fixes you should hold your horses and wait until upstream deems their software ready (by issuing a release).

@fmuellner A n00b question, why place the Sound and Brightness sliders bellow the power and session logout buttons?

If you're having trouble with your Gmail account in Thunderbird today, it might be due to Google now requiring OAuth 2.0 authentication.

Thunderbird SHOULD transition your account automatically, but if you're not able to connect, try going into your Gmail Account's Server Settings and manually changing "Authentication Method" to OAuth2 (it should NOT be "Normal.")
