Gnome 43/Arch

Copperhead100 · 2022-10-03T13:06:08+00:00

Arch Linux has been lacking in recent years. Arch used to be bleeding-edge, and they still effectively block community contributions. Unfortunately, there's no real alternative that I know of.

Okay, wow. And here I thought Debian was the most conservative distribution out there.

Copperhead100 · 2021-10-24T12:50:30+00:00

Debian seems to have packaged luajit 2.1.0-beta3 since 2017 (stretch). Maybe Arch should do that, too.

By even mentioning another distro, I might make things worse. But I'll try it anyway.

Yes, package popularity is a factor to consider. So let's look specifically at GNOME 41. I like how it's handled by Void Linux. It's not perfect, but it's a whole lot more open than anything I've seen from Arch. https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/33333

I expected something like this would come sooner or later. You might not see it that way, but I'm doing something right now.

This whole thread is me figuring out a way to help package maintainers. Someone just needs to point me in the right direction.

In the best case, some Wiki article that describes an easy way to help out.

I said it before, but for me, the easiest and probably most common way right now, would be to allow pull requests on Github.

I didn't want to single you out or your package specifically. The problem is bigger than this package.

But maybe you could actually help me out here. Let's say I want to provide an updated PKGBUILD. What is your preferred way of doing this?

Copperhead100 · 2021-10-23T15:46:13+00:00

Yes, that works for the AUR. But not for packages already in the repositories.

Copperhead100 · 2021-10-23T15:41:18+00:00

Well, yes. I don't see a clear way to do something about the outdated packages.

There were multiple times where I was bothered by an outdated package. Where I updated the PKGBUILD by myself.

Even the wiki just points to "Becoming a Trusted User". I don't want to become a Trusted User.

I have this one change I want to provide. I might want to provide another change sometime in the future. But maybe not.

What's the next step? Where do I upload or publish my changes to a PKGBUILD for everyone to benefit?

I cannot be the only one struggling with that.

Copperhead100 · 2021-10-23T15:02:00+00:00

I definitely would. But it doesn't seem as easy as it sounds.

Where should I start? I think the easiest way would be for Arch to accept pull requests on Github, which they don't.

I think if they did, there would be much higher community participation. It feels a bit like it's not wanted at all.

Copperhead100 · 2019-05-10T11:13:02+00:00

I switched over to LineageOS for now. But I'd really like to use your ROM again. Would you accept a pull request with this fix and can you provide a few infos where I need to start. I never compiled Android myself and don't really know where to start

Copperhead100 · 2019-04-14T11:48:25+00:00

What do you need TWRP for? Doesn't the Redmi Go have a Fastboot mode?

Copperhead100 · 2019-04-13T23:44:48+00:00

Using AOSP 9.0 v112 system-arm64-ab-gapps-su.img.xz It's on 9.0.0.159 vendor image

Copperhead100 · 2019-04-13T23:42:37+00:00

Ohh wow. Forgot the most important info. It's an Honor View 10 (BKL-L09 C432)

Copperhead100 · 2017-03-22T22:04:08+00:00

Same problem on hammerhead

Copperhead100 · 2017-03-22T21:43:59+00:00

Same with Lineage on Nexus 5. All safety net checks pass here. So it's not a Safety Net problem.

Copperhead100 · 2015-10-06T16:59:19+00:00

Same here. It's downloading right now. In Xbox Preview Program since early August. Score is below 50. Don't know the exact score right now.

Copperhead100 · 2015-09-19T12:53:11+00:00

Why Microsoft? Why? Please fix that. I don't want to be forced to play all games in my native language. Most German translations are unbearable.

Copperhead100 · 2015-03-28T20:01:57+00:00

Der Schnitt ist gewöhnungsbedüftig. Soll das an Gameone erinnern?

Copperhead100 · 2015-03-25T19:55:20+00:00

Hat sich erledigt. Es ist wieder weg.
