Agenda 🔼

Old Business 🔼

  • Introduce severities for bugs as Debian: critical, serious, important, normal, minor, wishlist
  • (KatolaZ) is there a specific reason to mirror the exact classification chosen at Debian? I would be content to have reportbug mirror the current scheme (critical, grave, normal,
  • Base outdated packages on sources instead of binaries.
  • (KatolaZ) this is not immediate, since the list is currently generated by amprolla, which works on binary packages...
  • Automatically file bugs with severity: serious for architectures which
  • eudev - ethernet interface name scheme
  • (Dan) has it been changed to provide the old naming scheme by default?
    • (gnu_srs) Yes it has been changed to net.ifnames=0 by default The patch was made by parazyd against 80-net-name-slot.rules
  • (rrq) add a debconf question about naming scheme to have?
    • (gnu_srs) I'm not sure we want to do that, the fewer questions, the better.

Old Actions 🔼

New Business 🔼

golinux 🔼

  • Ascii DarkPurpy theme will be finished by end of the week hopefully including the openbox part of it.
  • AlexLikeRock was on the wiki channel yesterday asking about starting a Spanish wiki. You might remember he did a translation of devuan.org. This brings up the question of how we want to set up wikis in other
  1. Should they be translations or unique content? Integrated into the official wiki or independent? What guidelines etc.?
  • There has been a nasty bot haunting freenode channels. Can we do something on our end to snuff it out? DocScrutinizer51 and MinceR are
  1. All help welcome.
  <DocScrutinizer51> everything fine still since cmode +g change?
  <MinceR> i took it off since it would allow people to invite banned spambots in
  <DocScrutinizer51> ouch
  <DocScrutinizer51> thanks
  <MinceR> (plus it would make it more difficult to mitigate botnet attacks via +i)
  <DocScrutinizer51> ok, eventually I could set up a autorespoonder that does /invite sigyn on a trigger word

edbarx 🔼

  • I would like to ask whether Devuan's administration expects anything I haven't yet done in my project simple-netaid-gui/backend.

fsmithred 🔼

  • desktop-base and clearlooks-phenix-darkpurpy-theme should be ready by meeting time.
  • (golinux) the openbox part of CPDP will hopefully be done soon. Default xfce is completed.
    • http://distro.ibiblio.org/refracta/files/cpdp/
    • isos by the end of the week? What should they be called? pre-beta?
    • (blinkdog) beta2017
    • (KatolaZ) They should not be called pre-beta, or beta or beta2017, since ASCII beta has not been released. Please, let's avoid generating confusion: releases MUST be done in sync, for all the images (installation, live, arm, vagrant, minimal, etc). Nothing prevents them to be called Refracta, naturally :)

gnu_srs 🔼

  • Please fix the repo problem with policykit-1 for ascii-proposed
  • xfce4-session 4.12.1-5+devuan2 is ready for ascii-proposed

blinkdog 🔼
