Re: [RDD] Rivendell distros

I appreciate everyone's input. Personally I would mirror the centos appliance to keep things similar. I am putting together a debian install with mate right now that can be used for packaging. I wish I knew how to do all that. I think mate is a more intuitive interface then gnome 3. I can't get

Re: [RDD] Rivendell distros

Hi, I think you are on the right tracks here with having all of the Rivendell base components in one package and the GUI in another. That way you have the breakdown of software needed for both a stand alone machine and a Client / Server setup. Has anyone looked at Launchpad yet? This is the

Would people stop driving if you told them that it was a Linux running their car ? No, but they might if it were Windows (excuse me for a moment; I have to reboot the car)! I recall reading a story a while back about the Royal Navy using Windows on a new submarine, with the headline "Das

Re: [RDD] Rivendell distros

Hi, I've only just come to this thread so I'll add my 2 cents worth. Having been playing with the existing Tryphon repository, I've been using the Mate edition of Linux Mint. Basically this is because the v17 Mints were based on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and the system would be well supported for 5

Re: [RDD] Rivendell distros

tl;dr: What's the best way to package Rivendell for Debian? I'm willing to help with the Rivendell packaging. I think it needs some community discussion. I like some things about the way in which the Tryphon packages are split up, but I think it needs a little more thought and attention. The

Re: [RDD] Rivendell distros

David, I should be able to get you an iso shortly. Are you willing to package Rivendell as a whole, or just add your scripts? Seth On Mon, Aug 29, 2016 at 12:07 PM, David Klann wrote: > Hey Seth, > > A copy of the ISO image would be a good starting point. I could place >

Re: [RDD] Rivendell distros

Hey Seth, A copy of the ISO image would be a good starting point. I could place the systemd files, and if you have them started, could update the Debian packaging files to include the systemd stuff. I could supply you with an FTP server on which to drop the ISO image. Or I'd be happy to snag it

Cowboy, Well that's my point really. If there is a live cd then it doesn't matter if it is Debian, Ubuntu, Centos, or whatever else. It doesn't matter if it is windows or linux. It just works. What I was getting at is that with Windows you pretty much click and install. With a live cd this is as

Re: [RDD] Rivendell distros

I'll chime in on this thread... I've recently taken the Tryphon 2.10.3 package and added systemd unit files for Debian Jessie. I'd be happy to contribute those to the new package (for whatever Rivendell version you all decide on). You can find the unit files (*.service and rivendell.target) at

Re: [RDD] Rivendell distros

Geoff, I almost have a working version of the latest Rivendell with Debian Jessie. There was some issues with Ubuntu and Rivendell that Wayne Merrick was addressing, so I am going with Debian. It seems to be easier to setup. I am using the gnome interface, but like Mate better as well, so I might
