| Kreyren | hey where can i apply to be a devuan developer? | 01:03 |
|---|---|---|
| Kreyren | imma currently maintaining an armbian release for OLIMEX Teres-1 and it seems that i can implement devuan on it | 01:03 |
| bgstack15 | Devuan Developer is not a complicated process like Debian Developer. Anyone who contributes to Devuan is a Devuan developer. | 01:10 |
| bgstack15 | If you have anything to contribute to Devuan, just jump right in! Are you thinking of helping provide iso files geared towards your architecture? | 01:11 |
| Kreyren | not isos it generates img files including the filesystems expected to be flashed on an SDCard but ye that's the idea | 01:18 |
| bgstack15 | Is mx.devuan.org still the correct smtp thing to use for reportbug? I cannot tell if my ISP is merely blocking me or if it otherwise is not accessible/up. | 01:18 |
| bgstack15 | Kreyren: Thank you for your interest in contributing! I think asking on the forum, dev1galaxy.org, would be best because it lasts longer than IRC discussions. | 01:19 |
| Kreyren | hm O.o can you like give me some short summary? Ideally i would like the system listed on devuan as officially supported as it's free and open source software and hardware design (non-free firmware WiFi with mod for libre one due to supply) | 01:21 |
| Kreyren | and like get devuan.org mail so that i get to flex on people~ | 01:21 |
| bgstack15 | I know the folks who deal with iso builds take seriously the idea of [pretty much] everything getting tested. Do you anticipate being able to test your builds of your .img files, and stick around for a long time to answer questions users might have that are related to your architecture+Devuan? | 01:22 |
| Kreyren | currently developing armbian so that i can use it to develop guix and i am working on https://olimex.miraheze.org/wiki/Products/Teres-1 and https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Olimex/Teres-I to provide information to make downstream management easier and i will be available mainly on chat to help with things, but will check forums from time to time | 01:24 |
| bgstack15 | I expect you can certainly get started by signing up at git.devuan.org and placing your build scripts in scm there. People will want to see your processes and provide input. | 01:24 |
| Kreyren | so idea is that i automate the build through armbian's build framework and if something breaks then try to fix it or help someone who wants to fix it | 01:25 |
| Kreyren | optionally up to discussion i want the system to have as many distro supported as possible ^-^ | 01:25 |
| Kreyren | possibly same for OLIMEX OlinuXino-A64 bcs i am using that board for lot of projects atm | 01:26 |
| Kreyren | (same SoC) | 01:26 |
| bgstack15 | That sounds neat. I know very little about that sort of thing. I know that in the past Devuan offered .qcow2 files for libvirt but no longer does. | 01:26 |
| Kreyren | (teres is a notebook and olinuxino-a64 is development board that was used to make the PCB for the notebook) | 01:26 |
| Kreyren | qcow2 can probably be implemented in armbian's management which shouldn't be difficult for me to do | 01:27 |
| bgstack15 | You definitely need to organize these thoughts into a permanent post over at dev1galaxy.org! This is too good to be lost merely in this irc log. | 01:27 |
| bgstack15 | I don't know if the qcow2 generation process still exists; I was merely saying alternate images are useful! | 01:27 |
| bgstack15 | I know some of the iso build folks tend to care the most about the live desktop isos. I'm just glad they still build netinstalls... | 01:28 |
| Kreyren | hmm O.o didn't check in terms of live isos might be implementable though | 01:29 |
| bgstack15 | Alas, I wasn't trying to say you need to provide live isos. I was just sharing another type of image that is built. | 01:30 |
| bgstack15 | You can share any type of image that makes sense for your architecture. I would guess that your value-add here is a process that generates a .img file that users would just dd onto an SD card, and then pop it into your SoC system, and boot straight to Devuan. | 01:31 |
| Kreyren | hmm oke O.o i need to automate the deployment of debian first though so i can do devuan next and will post things on that forum | 01:32 |
| bgstack15 | Devuan should be extremely similar to Debian! | 01:32 |
| Kreyren | ye seems to be just a matter of implementing few case statements to change the repos ^-^ | 01:33 |
| bgstack15 | Hopefully that easy. | 01:34 |
| * Kreyren already built devuan on that just needs more polishing and time :P | 01:37 | |
| fsmithred | http://arm-files.devuan.org/ <-- community contributed images | 01:39 |
| fsmithred | as mentioned, talk to the folks in the arm section of the forum | 01:39 |
| Kreyren | will do~ | 01:39 |
| fsmithred | maybe have a look at the migration instructions (debian to devuan migrations) | 01:40 |
| fsmithred | https://www.devuan.org/os/install | 01:41 |
| fsmithred | only relevant if you're actually migrating an existing installation, I guess. | 01:43 |
| Kreyren | seems to be building it from scratch and then puting things on top of that like kernel and optimizations | 01:47 |
