Hi List, I've been backing up my system with rsync years without the --xattrs option. I'm curious if important parts of Debian/Devuan rely on extended attributes. TIA -- Joel Roth ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.

I suspect if I tried building from palemoon sources, it might be easier to figure that out (I will try with your mozconfig some time). In any case Steve Pussers builds seem to work reliably and are regularly updated, which makes it easy. The issue I think is when you don't use dbus or pulse, et

I agree that a fork is needed, but I think this would be a whole lot of work. IMHO, it's not enough to just disable features by default or have good defaults. The fact they are there to begin with is a similar argument as with systemd - we don't want to install these features to begin with, and
