Re: [DNG] Apache2 CVE-2017-9798

Is that documented anywhere? I would have thought it would come through to ascii-security as that one is listed on the Devuan website at https://devuan.org/os/etc/apt/sources.list. There is no mention of ascii-proposed-updates on that page. —Tom > On 27 Sep 2017, at 22:22, . fsmithred <

[DNG] Apache2 CVE-2017-9798

Does Devuan’s repository have updates for apache2 to fix CVE-2017-9798? I can only see 2.4.25-3+deb9u1 on ASCII while Debian Stretch has 2.4.25-3+deb9u3. —Tom___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org

Re: [DNG] Yunit

ers wanting it in Devuan sans systemd, they might reconsider that approach?

[DNG] Yunit

Has anyone tried out Yunit on Devuan? It’s a community fork of the Unity 8 code that was abandoned after Ubuntu switched to Gnome for their next release. https://yunit.io/ https://yunit.io/yunit-packages-for-debian-stable-testing-and-unstable/

Re: [DNG] ASCII - clearlooks-Phenix-Purpy style issues

I had filed bug #107 against xfce4-terminal in ascii for this issue but I guess I can close that now if it's caused by the theme. I have also solved my issue by switching to another theme. --Tomas > I never expected Clearlooks Phenix Purpy to work in ascii. Both Xfce and > (I'm pretty sure)

Re: [DNG] Which desktops are available in Devuan?

There's no release for ascii yet. You'll just have to dist-upgrade from jessie if you want to try it. I've been running ascii + experimental/eudev on my work desktop and laptop for a few months without trouble. -- Tomas > I might just settle for the default XFCE for a while, after all: Life

Re: [DNG] Which desktops are available in Devuan?

Have you thought about LXQt? Upstream LXDE stopped development a while back and merged with Razor-qt into the new project running on Qt instead of GTK. Unfortunately it's only in repositories for ascii and later, so not available on jessie. -- Tomas > I've downloaded the CD iso, and will try
