If you do not follow calamares development, then you prolly don't know that behind this project there are more people than behind DrakX (oma, moondrake,mageia etc). Second Calamares got adopted by Arch based distros, Fedora and SuSE started to work on it too. DrakX crap is only adopted by post mandrake forks. >Oh well, I intend to continue work on DrakX stuff anyhow, Be my guest :) 2015-01-28 14:48 GMT+01:00 Per Øyvind Karlsen <[email protected]>: > 2015-01-28 14:30 GMT+01:00 Tomasz Gajc <[email protected]>: > >> Calamares have support for urpmi and copying contents of squashfs image >> to hdd. >> > But probably not much beyond that wrt. distro specific stuff? > From working on the installer, that's kinda more of the easy part to get > working.. > > Oh well, I intend to continue work on DrakX stuff anyhow, so I dunno much > about the current interest in the classical installer remaining the same > for OMV/cooker/ROSA amongst, > but I'll continue doing Moondrake releases from it. :) > > So what are the interest in it actually? > Anyone which has interest in it and isos built with, feel free to express > your thoughts on the mattter, if there's somewhat substantial interest in > it still, please let me know, and I can try see if I can help providing > either OMV or Rosa isos using it. :) > > >> 2015-01-28 14:01 GMT+01:00 Per Øyvind Karlsen <[email protected]>: >> >>> Gah... >>> >>> I've opened the drakx repo with the iso creation utility within it, for >>> which I more or less actively maintain, while also tracking mageia >>> branches, making it less of a hassle to maintain, while giving us a lot for >>> free through their work on a distro which is *very* close to ours, with all >>> (distro specific) quirks and what not that's of very nice value and often >>> becomes quite important beyond just the matter of whether urpmi being >>> supported or not.. >>> >>> Some time sooner or later, I'll merge the draklive stuff to be in sync >>> with the drakx branch, probably bringing these two closer, most likely just >>> as a part of drakx in the end. >>> >>> Also very convenient is that drakx serves as the foundation for the >>> control center and several other tools, this makes it easier to keep focus >>> on doing things in just one place rather than duplicating efforts several >>> other places, leading to inconsistencies and maintenance headaches. >>> >>> As noone else has seemed to care about merging relevant stuff from >>> omv_software/drakx branch into software/drakx yet, I figured that it >>> might've been a bit too late for this, but considering that you propose an >>> entirely new installer which doesn't even have support for urpmi in place >>> yet, I guess that getting updated drakx branch into distro with classical >>> installer etc. would sound less controversial. >>> >>> I'm anyways actively developing the stuff, and is more than competent to >>> both maintain and develop it, while also working on shaping it more into >>> what I/we want for it to be.. >>> >>> Btw. for the software/drakx branch, I intend to rename the control >>> center to DrakX Control Center in order to make the name less tainted by >>> vendorism as having vendor name in name of software and tools tends to have >>> a not so good effect at increasing adoption nor contributions from the >>> outside.. >>> If OMV release would like to still have it named "OpenMandriva Control >>> Center", that would be perfectly fine, but something for OMV to either >>> maintain outside of upstream repo (ie. be it package patches or whatever), >>> or implement proper functionality for custom naming that's acceptable for >>> upstream. >>> >>> I'm not sure about exactly when I'll get around to do this work myself >>> (others are still more than encouraged to help out, ie.
