| gnu_srs | Hi, how important is the dbus package? | 11:00 |
|---|---|---|
| onefang | It's used by all sorts of things. | 11:02 |
| gnu_srs | I have other dbus packages installed on a hurd box: dbus-bin, dbus-daemon,dbus-session-bus-common,dbus-x11,libdbus-1-3. | 11:06 |
| gnu_srs | On another box the package dbus is also installed. | 11:06 |
| gnu_srs | Problem is that dbus_1.14.10-3 now depends on usr-is-merged, which I don't want to install (or usrmerge) | 11:08 |
| gnu_srs | Maybe time the create a Devuan/Hurd port since Debian/Hurd now requires usr-is-merged? | 11:09 |
| rrq | isn't it 1.14.10-3devuan1 ? which doesn't have that dependency ? | 11:10 |
| onefang | Are you volunteering to do that? | 11:10 |
| gnu_srs | Maybe we can start the process. Any followers? | 11:14 |
| fsmithred | gnu_srs, it's possible to function without dbus. Here's a discussion about it: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=2158 | 11:22 |
| onefang | Don't think I have seen any mention of Hurd by Devuan users until now. | 11:25 |
| gnu_srs | The Debian hurd package itself also conflicts with usrmerge. | 11:29 |
| bb|hcb | IMHO Hurd is more like a toy. Very useful to find bugs when you port and try your own software on it, but all in all that is it. | 17:20 |
| bb|hcb | Hurd is 32bit only, the filesystem is magnitude slower than any Linux/BSD filesystem, networking is unstable, there is no decent firewall; to list a few of the cons | 17:22 |
| gnu_srs | bb|hcb: Hurd is no longer a toy: Ongoing/completed: rumpdisk, SMP, 64bit | 17:44 |
| bb|hcb | Really? That is good news :) | 17:48 |
