It means I tried to backport it, but something went wrong and it didn't work. Then I got tied up working on Etiona stuff and forgot to return to this. I'll take another look this weekend. Sorry about that. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Re: [Trisquel-users] When will Trisquel 9.0 release?
well it looks like our discussion was deleted for some reason i will just add that we was at how will i upgrade keepassx the last release in trisquel 8.
Re: [Trisquel-users] When will Trisquel 9.0 release?
> yes for now i do need to install jami or ring! and > upgrade keepassx from 2.0.2 to 2.0.3 Jami provides an apt repository. If you edit /etc/apt/sources.list as root and add the line deb https://dl.jami.net/ring-nightly/ubuntu_16.04/ ring main You should be able to then run $ sudo apt update && sudo apt install jami-all to get the latest version of Jami. However, another Trisquel user is interested in learning to backport packages, with the intent to backport a newer version of Jami, so if you are willing to wait, a newer version of Jami may soon be in Trisquel 8's repos anyway. Keepassx is trickier. The version in Trisquel 9 requires a newer version of libgcrypt20 than the version that Trisquel 8 has. I'm not sure how difficult this will be to make work. I'll look into it and get back to you. Reply to this post reminding me if I don't follow up within a few days. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

> i wanna know if i can use the trisquel 9 without runing into some > privacy and security issues, I'm not aware of any privacy-hostile changes between Ubuntu 16.04 and Ubuntu 18.04. If have been such changes, I would like to know so we can fix them. Otherwise, Trisquel 9 should be equally privacy-respecting to Trisquel 8. There are some features and artwork still missing, but none whose absence would cause privacy issues, I think. If anything, I would expect Trisquel 9 to be more secure than Trisquel 8 at this time. Since Ubuntu does not backport security fixes to their universe repository, newer versions of Ubuntu are more secure because they are more up-to-date with the upstream developers. When I look at what packages are still missing from Trisquel, I don't see any whose absence is a likely security risk. > or how can i upgrade some packages from etiona repository and stay in > trisquel 8 without making it crash? You can download debs from archive.trisquel.info/trisquel/pool/main, but in general this is not a good idea. If Trisquel 8 has all of the needed dependencies of the package you want then it should go smoothly, but if it does not then you will need to download those of the dependencies too, which could get messy and even break your system, depending on how low-level the dependencies are. Are there specific packages that you need upgraded? If so, I might be able to advise you on the best way to upgrade those particular packages. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

> Nice! Did you use the netinstaller? No i upgraded from trisquel 8 following the instructions given by MD here https://trisquel.info/en/forum/trisquel-unstable#comment-143882 i wanna know if i can use the trisquel 9 without runing into some privacy and security issues, cause for me all i need is already there! or how can i upgrade some packages from etiona repository and stay in trisquel 8 without making it crash? im new to linux but im someone who likes getting in to the bottem of things, so after joining the linux comunity in a few months i followed the rabit hole to end up in trisquel :) and now i will try my best to learn more on how to play arround with it

> Hello i am curious to know the approximate release date, and is it > possible to install it now cause iv read that some people have already > installed it! We are close to having a working netinstaller. I hope that after this Friday's meeting it will be ready. In the meantime, it is possible to install Trisquel 8 and upgrade to Trisquel 9, or to debootstrap onto another partition. > is stable to be used for dayly tasks? Some packages are not in the repos yet, but packages which are in the repos already are stable, so how usable it is for you will depend on which packages you need. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Re: [Trisquel-users] When will Trisquel 9.0 release?
If I had to guess, given that I don't use trisquel anymore, it probably has a year before being stable. As for when its beta, who knows... Don't ever, ever upgrade to alpha operating systems unless you know the risks. Just a heads up.
