Re: [DNG] missing trick for upgrading to daedalus
"What trick am I missing to get the update/upgrade to complete?" Turns out getting the time set correctly was the missing key, and /etc/os-release is showing the upgrade completed. Now the long slog to learn all the newer replacement packages relative to ascii. Thx as usual, Chris ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
Re: [DNG] Lennart now working for Microsoft
The waters do seem very muddy at the moment. The one thing which seems self-evident is that if Poettering is continuing to work on systemd, it's not going to be in his spare time - so that means that it's going to be in the context of M$, and almost certainly in that of WSL. I'd give a lot to know what's currently passing between Poettering and Kay Sievers. Sievers is still at Red Hat - so far anyway. I wonder if M$ and Red Hat are negotiating some sort of deal.
