| systemdlete | anyone know about finalcut, an ncurses alternative? I can't find it in the repos. Maybe it is in one that I have not enabled | 04:18 |
|---|---|---|
| fsmithred | I think you can get it at the mac app store | 04:20 |
| systemdlete | this is not the grahpics program--that's a whole different thing | 04:20 |
| systemdlete | this is an open source (linux-supported) library, simillar to ncurses. | 04:21 |
| systemdlete | it's for building tui's | 04:21 |
| fsmithred | don't know it | 04:26 |
| systemdlete | are there any other sections of the repo besides main contrib and non-free? Maybe there is another one | 04:26 |
| fsmithred | no | 04:27 |
| systemdlete | ok | 04:27 |
| fsmithred | there is experimental | 04:27 |
| fsmithred | deb.devuan.org/devuan experimental | 04:28 |
| systemdlete | that's another repo | 04:28 |
| fsmithred | for new things that we add to repo that aren't in debian | 04:28 |
| systemdlete | I could try that | 04:28 |
| systemdlete | does it have main contrib non-free also? | 04:28 |
| fsmithred | I don't know. Probably not. | 04:29 |
| systemdlete | so just main? | 04:29 |
| systemdlete | ok, I'll try it | 04:29 |
| fsmithred | yeah, I think so | 04:29 |
| fsmithred | pkginfo.devuan.org | 04:29 |
| rrq | systemdlete: search "libfinal" | 04:31 |
| systemdlete | I did that rrq, but it is not showing up | 04:31 |
| systemdlete | does it show up for you? | 04:31 |
| rrq | ah, daedalus | 04:31 |
| systemdlete | that experimental gets an error on update saying it does not have Release file | 04:31 |
| systemdlete | daedalus! | 04:31 |
| systemdlete | yes | 04:32 |
| systemdlete | sadly, I will have to wait for that | 04:32 |
| systemdlete | unless backports... | 04:32 |
| rrq | (it's called libfinal0 and/or libfinal-dev apparently) | 04:33 |
| systemdlete | well, I'll have to hope that some kind packager will backport it for chimaera, or I will have to do my development on a test daedalus VM and hope daedalus comes out soon (right now, it's January I think) | 04:36 |
| systemdlete | OR | 04:36 |
| systemdlete | I will just build it myself. | 04:36 |
| fsmithred | bookworm hard freeze is estimated to happen in March of 2023 | 04:39 |
| systemdlete | yeah | 04:39 |
| systemdlete | I recalled it was either Jan or March | 04:39 |
| fsmithred | so at least another year | 04:39 |
| systemdlete | so it is March | 04:39 |
| systemdlete | yep | 04:39 |
| systemdlete | I will have to build it myself I guess. | 04:39 |
| fsmithred | sometimes that's easy to do. See the debian wiki for backporting instructions | 04:40 |
| systemdlete | that's not a big deal, esp if it provides static libraries I can link into my program so I don't have to drag libraries along with my program when using the checklist on environments (like distro installation) that may only have a basic command line. | 04:41 |
| systemdlete | fsmithred: I think I can just take the source from the finalcut github and build it. | 04:42 |
| systemdlete | of course, then there may be library compat issues, but we'll see | 04:43 |
| systemdlete | the package wants the gcc++ 11 compiler; chimaera only comes with gcc 10 | 05:05 |
| * systemdlete bemoans how everytime they want to DO something, there's always a snag | 05:06 | |
| rwp | Every update is like getting sucked into the wood chipper. | 05:08 |
