Re: Firefox 60esr on Stretch ?

[eamanu15]

Hello Julien,

Maybe this question need to be made on debian-metors or
pkg-mozilla-maintainer list.

I think will be good wait until EOL  before change to 60. I think that the
first months of 60ers will be a little unstable.

Regards!

Great.  Let me know if you need help never test mozilla, and I want to

Re: concerns about Salsa

[eamanu15]

I think it's a low blow to us.

I think this should have been known from the beginning. We need each of the
Debian projects, intervene the Debian itself.

Why don't start a new Debian project similar to GitLab, but based on Debian
OS.

Re: New software for Debian

Hi Tommi,

I think that you have to package it or search a contributor/mantainer  to
package it.

Fwd: Problems with upload packages

[eamanu15 .]

Hello everybody,

I am a new maintainer. I find an interest (for me) package: cligh (
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/cligh).

This package was in RFA status and I try to adopted it, so I send my ITA
request. This is the #851186 on bugs.debian.org.

So, I downloaded the package, I used the dsc to uncompress the folders, and
then I modified the "control file" and "changelog file" (with dch -i) with
the purpose tu add me how new Maintainer.

Then, I build the package with* dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -sa* and all is
ok.

Next, I sign the *.changes with *debsign *.change.*

Last, I upload the package using: *dupload *change.* Apparently the package
send to ftp correctly, but if I loggin to the ftp-upload-master via
Filezilla, I just see the *.tar.gz  and not all the tarball generated with
dpkg-builpackage.

And in the https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/cligh not appear my changes.

What is happening? What's wrong?

Reference: the star (*) mean *cligh_0.3-1.1*

Regards!
Emmanuel

Get me out of a doubt, first, you have to be a debian maintainer and then
(when you demotrate interest and skills) you could join to debian
developer. Right?

Re: Debian Stretch new user report (vs Linux Mint)

[eamanu15 .]

Hello everybody,

I started on the free software world 7 years ago. My first distro was
Debian. But in that time Debian was "complicate" for me. So, I change to
Ubuntu. I used to use them like a simple user.

A couple of month ago I decided to contribute to Free software, so I choose
Debian.

Now, with a little more experience with Linux-Based-OS like user, I feel
that Debian don't think about new user. I think that if we want to catch
more user, we have to make a more easily used OS. The First change (on my
point of view) is try to find the best order for the web-page. For me, was
a little complicate search the  non-free ISO installer (I was problem with
my WIFI device)

Regards!

No. but I am 100% sure that a new user will ask "why my WIFi doen't work?"
And then they wiil take the time to search the reason and search the
non-free software  And  in the debian page is very difficult  to find
it.
