Hi
This a learn thing for me, I could setup and just use VSIDO but I would rather understand how it all hangs together. ;)
I have had a look at: preferences, apt.config and sources.list, and been here

I'm wondering which repos the xfce packages are being drawn from?
Cheers

From the Siduction repos... They packaged 4.10 perfectly so thats where we get them from
deb http://ftp.spline.de/pub/siduction/xfcenext unstable main
Note see my edit, and the first link you posted over on #! is where I got my idea from
An here is the Siduction site talking about it (http://news.siduction.org/2012/10/xfce-4-10-for-siduction/)
Also, jotapesse was a great resource for digging this stuff up over in #!
Thanks vastOne!
Lightening quick as usual!! ;)
How would I differentiate debian unstable and siduction unstable?
in the repos, Debian sid is shown as sid
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free
Where Siduction is unstable
deb http://ftp.spline.de/pub/siduction/xfcenext unstable main
So ...
sudo apt-get -t unstable install xfce4
Another great reason for Debian to get rid of the entire Sid/Unstable label and go with something like rolling
Thanks, and yes I agree that the sid/unstable is a pain! ;)
So you aren't getting anything from experimental now?
Yes... The main kernel is coming from Experimental... :D
It is parked there waiting for the Freeze to pass over, and Wheezy to go to stable...
Thats when you will see the 3.8 kernel and 4.10 Xfce4 hit Sid or even Testing
Thanks for your time VastOne. ;)
No worries Oz, I enjoy it! ;D
Great questions Ozzie! Some of which I had myself but just never asked. Thanks for this
Thanks lwfitz ;)
I don't want to be a passenger, I want to able to drive the bus!
^ Looking forward to your creation Oz! ;)
I'm curious to know what the difference between
http://oscar.aptosid.com/debian/ sid main fix.main
and this is? Is is sid versus unstable, so that apt.conf
http://ftp.spline.de/pub/siduction/xfcenext unstable main
The first is aptosid so we can pull in all the cool stuff from there with kernel-remover the most important but there are others I cannot recall at the moment (been a long day)
The other is siduction and that is specifically for Xfce 4.10
Once Wheezy goes stable, a mass amount of testing space will be freed and you will see a lot of Sid transition at that time as it's current 'unstable apps' move to testing... (fricking freeze fecks up debian IMO)
Then you will see Xfce 4.10 move from Experimental to Sid and we can then rely on it from there
The issue is the freeze right now, it locks down a lot of stuff that has nothing to do with Wheezy/Testing/Stable, but all the things that could be happening if there was not a freeze
Yes I understand, I'm trying to protect myself from the coming storm too.
Thanks
Sounds as though you need a beer or 2! ;)
Make it three and you have a deal... I like Becks! ??? 8)
3 of pints of Guinness for me please 8)
I'm thinking flux might be the better way to go as it just doesn't change. But most users will be attracted by a modern good looking DE
Flux seems to fit that bill... I like it, and am thinking some thoughts about what to do with VSIDO and all the DE's
I can understand that it's quite a load to keep the maintenance moving along given the upcoming release and the flood of new stuff into repos.
A small community of like minded developers/maintainers maybe.
It's really not so bad... It will be interesting to see how SID reacts over the next month or so... but honestly I am not that concerned
What helps the most is having people who are the 'eyes' to the issues at hand... I cannot be logged into all of them (nor do I want to) and I miss things...
Reminding me of things that need to be done is paramount to the success ... :)
Do you intend to create repo at some point with you own packages?
I do... but I have so little in packages right now it is not worth it... I guess they are growing so I will need to do it. Having one would open other doors too..
I have been so busy with other things (family, clients, golf, clients, golf, family, golf) ... you get the picture
It would be nice but just one more thing for me to maintain... I also really need a torrent setup to make dloading easier but for the life of me, i cannot find out why it is so difficult to setup a torrent that points to the files on my Host... should be really easy but has turned into a major pain in the arse that I could use some hep with
How come there are 3 golfs in the list and only 2 family?? ;)
I know very well about the responsibilities list, which seems to grow and never shrink! I've had my new box for a couple of weeks now and have only just managed to get the commandline install and xfce up and running. Still only basic setup stage.
I need to do this though just to keep me interested and sane! ;)
Hi VastOne
Here is the screeny you wanted to see! :)
