SiFuh has joined #crux
<ppetrov^>
r0ni, congrats!
<r0ni>
that little ascii penguin is growing on me
<r0ni>
TBH most of getting xfce going was just updating pkgfile's, adding some options mostly. I appreciate how simple it is to build
<r0ni>
I still need to review more crux docs tho, as I'm not sure if it's following crux rules 100%. I assume since the 4.15 is linked to on the site, that those builds follow said rules, I just followed suit
<ppetrov^>
r0ni, i really like CRUX's logo. Some time ago, SiFuh here made a high resolution version
<r0ni>
nice, i dunno why but the penguin looks like it should be holding a teddy bear (or a beer)
<ppetrov^>
i've read comments that it's drunk
<ppetrov^>
there was a wiki page of how to make the kernel dsiplay it instead of tux
<ppetrov^>
upon boot
<r0ni>
heh if i were still a drinking man i'd have never made it this far with crux lol
<ppetrov^>
i think this was for 2.6.*
<r0ni>
i do find it sad tho, crux came out after i started using linux and it just flew under my radar for so long
<SiFuh>
heh, drinking is probably the reason I made it this far with CRUX. :-P
<r0ni>
SiFuh well there's a certain level of drunk I can get into things until, once i break the threashold, it's all over
<SiFuh>
:-P
<r0ni>
i'm a break the threshold kinda guy lol
<ppetrov^>
r0ni, CRUX is not exactly a 'mainstream' distro... :P so no wonder it flew under the radar for you
<SiFuh>
ppetrov^: I can't help bute drawn to the X in your wallpaper
<SiFuh>
but*
<ppetrov^>
you feel drawn to it?
<SiFuh>
Eyes dirvert away from everything else because the X stands out
<ppetrov^>
heh
<ppetrov^>
i have a version where it's all blue
<r0ni>
ppetrov^ TBH i've only used slackware for decades until recently i started trying others, but crux is by far the best one I've tried. I like that it really leaves everything to the user. Doesnt even assume my PS1
<ppetrov^>
i started with Slackware 10.1 in 2005, used CRUX for a while around 2010, then during the Slackware 14.2-15.0 release gap, I got fed up with it and switched to CRUX
<ppetrov^>
been using in on and off since then
<SiFuh>
ppetrov^: What if you made the centre part of the wrud CRUX white and leave the top and bottom blue and left side of the C and right side of the X blue. Like the penguin's belly? :-P
<ppetrov^>
i can play with it, sure
<r0ni>
i started using slack cuz i needed a server back in the 90s and so i've always used it (not always for a desktop) but since my hardware has aged, and i can't keep up with commerical offerings, i'm using more and more linux now
<r0ni>
so whats the general consensus on repos? like if I'd like to do more than just xfce, should i do separate repos or just rename it and add it all to one?
<SiFuh>
XFCE should be a seperate dedicated repo
<r0ni>
fair enough (and I agree, any DE should have it's own)
<ppetrov^>
r0ni, does your xfce build on x86_64?
<ppetrov^>
if so, that'd be a good addition to the repos collection
<r0ni>
I assume so, but i've yet to test that
<r0ni>
no reason why it wouldn't though. if it builds on aarch64, it builds on x86. not always so the other way around though
<r0ni>
my x86 crux machine has a long way to go yet before i'm building xfce on it ;)
<r0ni>
i've gone thru and removed pkgs I haven't looked at yet, as well as my first attempt at fixing deps
<r0ni>
going to start over and double-check as I go with another system (might as well do x86) and see how it goes and note any differences
<r0ni>
after i double check and fix anything, I'll add the rest of the stuff and make it proper (still need to learn that process)
<r0ni>
i had issues on x86 i hadn't looked into just getting things going, I might as well sort them out
<r0ni>
i am still very much so learning crux, there are many things I'm likely not aware of
<r0ni>
i hate learning things, but i have this problem, i only like learning linux things... forget fixing home issues, can hire a guy for that ;)
<r0ni>
ok I'm out for a while. need to get off irc or i'll get nothing done. bbl
<ppetrov^>
finddeps is great for finding the dependencies of a port. I made myself a simple wrapper to skip the ones from core (since they should not be listed in the Pkgfile) and output the rest as a simple row
<ppetrov^>
then I put them in the Pkgfile, and run findredundantdeps -s myport, which eliminates redundant deps and outputs just the ones you need to put in the Pkffile
<r0ni>
that sounds wonderful, and here i usually try and keep track in my head or scribbles of paper
<ppetrov^>
no man, don't do this to yourself
<r0ni>
until I get too deep with deps like with gnome, at like 300 pkgs (on slackware) i just stopped paying attention lol
<ppetrov^>
that's how I do things for my SlackBuilds and honestly it gets annoying
<r0ni>
i'm like a walking dep manager lol
<r0ni>
it has proven useful when someone else can't figure out a dep... i occasionally have the answer lol
<ppetrov^>
i'll know whom to ask now
<r0ni>
hahaha
<r0ni>
i packaged up this nwg-shell for slackware and the author couldn't understand how i figured out all the deps
<r0ni>
he's like "i just use pacman"
<r0ni>
i just figured it was a side-effect of running slackware for decades, i guess it's not normal ;)
<ppetrov^>
it is a side effect
<ppetrov^>
soon you'll miss "revdep" on other systems
<r0ni>
oh i already do miss the features of even just prt-get. i'm sure other distros have deptree like commands but my head always been my deptree
<r0ni>
i did just go thru the xfce repo and had removed some core deps that were listed, only checking the port search on the site a few times... its already too late. i'll memorize every package before long
<r0ni>
ugh i forgot to upload firefox 115 to my server to test, damn
