But it doesn't tell me which packages belong to the 1% that isn't the same or doesn't have the same dependencies in Devuan. And sometimes I do want to know what packages are in ascii or ceres instead of the jessie that's specified in my sources.list file. Is it difficult to convert the packages.debian.org software that Deban uses?

The main problem in using Debian's stuff is that it is pretty much entangled with several infrastructure pieces that we are currently missing (tracker, qa, ...) and some other pieces that we have replaced (e.g., buildd where we are using jenkins, alioth where we are using gitlab, and so on...). We discussed it and it might be actually easier to have something simple, built from scratch, which is tailored to our own needs. This is the same strategy we have used so far for the BTS and for the popularity contest: use what we can, simplify as much as we can, ditch off bloats or redundant functionalities, and, overall, KISS. Any help with that would be very much appreciated.

Re: [DNG] human reaable package index
Yes I agree it would be nice. I don't go through all the outer pages though. Usually just google "debian slim package" and go straight to the page https://packages.debian.org/jessie/x11/slim ozi On Thu, Jun 15, 2017 at 8:46 AM, Hendrik Boom wrote: > On Wed, Jun 14, 2017 at 02:16:45PM -0400, fsmithred wrote: > > On 06/13/2017 11:01 AM, goli...@dyne.org wrote: > > > On 2017-06-13 06:59, aitor wrote: > > >> Hi, > > >> On 06/12/2017 12:00 PM, Jaromil wrote: > > >> > > >>> On Sun, 11 Jun 2017, Hendrik Boom wrote: > > >>> > > Debian has a useful page, https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages > > [1], > > which you get to via packages.debian.org > > > > Is there anything similar for devuan? > > > > https://www.devuan.org/distrib/packages [2] does not work. > > Nor does https://packages.devuan.org/ [3] > > >>> > > >>> indeed, we are lacking behind on this front. > > >>> > > >>> these were some past attempts lead by hellekin, but I think we may > > >>> have to start from scratch. we shall discuss this in the next > > >>> dev-meeting. > > >>> > > >>> ciao > > >> > > >> The second one works for me. > > >> > > >>Aitor. > > >> > > > > > > --- > > > > > > Yes, for me also > > > > > > golinux > > > ___ > > > > > > There's also https://files.devuan.org/devuan_jessie/ > > Each iso has a corresponding package list file. > > > > The searchable web interface is nice.

[DNG] Xfce4 task uninstalled on upgrade to ascii
I've been having issues upgrading a standard Devuan Jessie install to Ascii. During upgrade, the task-xfce4-desktop package gets uninstalled and can't be installed afterwards due to dependency problems. Jessie has tasksel=3.33+devuan1.0 and Ascii has tasksel=3.33+devuan0.3 which is preventing task-xfce4-desktop from being installed in Ascii. This is also causing a number of xfce4-* and other packages to be marked as not required and removable with apt-get autoremove. # apt-cache policy tasksel tasksel: Installed: 3.33+devuan1.0 Candidate: 3.33+devuan1.0 Version table: *** 3.33+devuan1.0 100 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3.33+devuan0.3 500 500 http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged ascii/main amd64 Packages # apt-cache policy task-xfce-desktop task-xfce-desktop: Installed: (none) Candidate: 3.33+devuan0.3 Version table: 3.33+devuan0.3 500 500 http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged ascii/main amd64 Packages # apt-get install task-xfce-desktop Reading package lists...

The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: task-xfce-desktop : Depends: tasksel (= 3.33+devuan0.3) but 3.33+devuan1.0 is to be installed Depends: xfce4 but it is not going to be installed Recommends: xfce4-mixer but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. -- Tom ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
