Dear D1rs,

if you are wondering how you can help during the ASCII sprint of this
coming weekend (15-16-17 Dec. 2017), here is tentative list of things
where user feedback is needed. Before we proceed with the list, note
the following important points:

 * we are talking about Devuan ASCII;
 
 * please be sure that you are using pkgmaster.devuan.org in your
   sources.list;

 * please ensure that you have apt-get update-d recently (meaning, in
   the last few hours);

 * please ensure that you are not mixing Devuan repos with non-Devuan
   ones (including Debian's, Ubuntu's or third-parties');

 * please ensure that you don't have any relevant pin in
   /etc/apt/preferences.d

 * please do not report any dependency on libsystemd0: we know
   already. We are working at it. we might be able to remove most of
   those. But it is not a fundamental target for ASCII.



There we go with the list:

- list of bugs relevant to ASCII:

  http://bugs.devuan.org//cgi/pkgreport.cgi?which=tag&data=ascii

  could any of those be closed? Do you have further
  info/fixes/patches? Could you confirm the bug in the few cases where
  it was marked as irreproducible?

- eudev (is it working for you? any glitch? any regression from udev?)

- upgrade paths, and in particular:

  Devuan Jessie -> Devuan ASCII
  Debian Stretch -> Devuan ASCII

  are there any glitches there? It is FUNDAMENTAL to test those with
  pkgmaster.devuan.org in your sources.list (this will pull eudev)

- XFCE (is it working for you? any missing piece?)

- MATE/Cinnamon (is it working for you? what is the status?)

- KDE (this is mostly terra incognita. How is it doing in ASCII?)

- other systemd-encumbered packages (please report only deps on
  systemd components, not on libsystemd0)

- other existing problems/bugs/glitches/inconsistencies


During the sprint, you might also be asked to try/test/check theming
material, new packages, provisional installation material, and the
like. Thanks in advance for any help you will be able to provide.

Come on: let's put ASCII out.

The Dev1Devs
