I'm quoting the above in order to express appreciation for it -- in context. Like Steve Litt, I favour the smallest possible entanglement with Freedesktop.org 'desktop' components and their characteristic tangled dependency trees and difficult-to-justify complications, -=but=- the key fact is that Devuan Project has committed to be a universal operating system, construed as including DE-style software integration. I would not have supported that commitment, personally, but nonetheless can summon the wisdom to avoid expecting this project to abandon its principles just because I don't share some of them. And I thank you for aptly restating those principles. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
