So, my previous test did confirm that Devuan Chimaera without D-Bus is still possible using the steps on dev1fanboy's documentation page. Note, I don't really have anything against dbus (yet), I'm just checking whether this is all still possible for documentation purposes. Also note, it may be *possible* to install some of these software packages that "depend" on dbus, without actually installing dbus... not sure what functionality would be lost though. As far as adding new recommendations to this list, I have none. Maybe someone else who actually uses a dbus-free Devuan can chime in.
The following list is from the "D-Bus free software" link at https://www.devuan.org/os/documentation/dev1fanboy/en/dbus-free-software.html Window managers: fluxbox: OK blackbox: OK openbox: tries to install dbus fvwm: OK fvwm-crystal: tries to install dbus icewm: OK metacity: tries to install dbus evilwm: OK windowmaker: Unable to locate package windowmaker mutter: tries to install dbus sawfish: OK icewm: OK dwm: OK i3: tries to install dbus wmaker: OK File Managers: xfe: tries to install dbus pcmanfm: tries to install dbus rox-filer: tries to install dbus mc: OK gentoo: tries to install dbus fdclone: OK s3dfm: OK tkdesk: OK ytree: OK vifm: OK Display managers: nodm: OK ldm: OK xdm: OK wdm: OK Web browsers: midori: tries to install dbus surf: tries to install dbus dillo: OK links2: OK links: OK elinks: OK lynx: OK edbrowse: OK w3m: OK Music players: deadbeef: Package has no installation candidate cmus: OK cdcd: OK lxmusic: tries to install dbus randomplay: OK Media players: totem: tries to install dbus xine-ui: OK mplayer2: Package has no installation candidate mpv: OK melt: tries to install dbus IRC clients: weechat: OK irssi: OK ekg2-ui-gtk: Unable to locate package scrollz: OK loqui: OK goli...@devuan.org wrote: > And how is any of this conversation helping Devuan sort out > documentation for the Chimaera release? > > The revised list needing assessment is: > > https://www.devuan.org/os/documentation/dev1fanboy/ > > General information (will need to be updated to Chimaera at the least) > Devuan without D-Bus (is this still possible?) > D-Bus free software (quite possibly out of date) > Minimal xorg install > Minimal XFCE install > > Thanks, > golinux > > _______________________________________________ > Dng mailing list > Dng@lists.dyne.org > https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
