Hello all. I think is time to draw a line and list what we have and what we miss to release a beta for jessie
I ask all active developers/contributors to fix any error in my list and to comment if anything isn't as i write. first a couple of things about jessie in devuan: - default DE will be xfce4 - default DM is slim - no systemd components should be present in the default install. systemd-shim and libsystemd0 can be accepted only for non-default DE installs, and only for 1.0, we will work to remove any trace in 1.1 if any ( i'm thinking about gnome in particular ) - packages from debian that suggest to install systemd components but aren't really built to use it can be just forced using override, without rebuild them - no other changes except for rebranding will be done for 1.0 - we will use udev, vdev is expected to be enough mature for ascii ( thanks Jude for your excellent work! ) - no other changes are required for release except of course rebranding - we will release for: amd64, i386, armhf, armel, arm64. More architectures will be added for 1.1 - 1.1 will be "jessie r1", ascii will be 2.0 What we have working: --------------------- - Many packages are already disinfected - the iso installer is almost ready, for beta we must finish rebranding and test for any major bug - amprolla needs a rewrite for performances, but it can be done after release, for the moment it just works. - the build infrastructure is working, everything can be improved, but it's enough for release What we miss for beta?: ----------------------- - many packages depends on libsystemd0 or other components. We need to use override and/or rebuild them to remove systemd dependency, at least for default install and commonly used daemons. - finish the rebrand of the installer - build the "full" netinstall iso Is there anything i missed to list? -- Franco (nextime) Lanza Lonate Pozzolo (VA) - Italy SIP://c...@casa.nexlab.it web: http://www.nexlab.net NO TCPA: http://www.no1984.org you can download my public key at: http://danex.nexlab.it/nextime.asc || Key Servers Key ID = D6132D50 Key fingerprint = 66ED 5211 9D59 DA53 1DF7 4189 DFED F580 D613 2D50 ----------------------------------- echo 16i[q]sa[ln0=aln100%Pln100/snlbx]sbA0D212153574F444E49572045535520454D20454B414D204F54204847554F4E452059415020544F4E4E4143205345544147204C4C4942snlbxq | dc -----------------------------------
