I fully deny your words and I won't ask you again to stop spreading FUD.
If you doubt my words, please ask Ruben - he will confirm the 2020 release
date
Hi! Some helpful community members have already provided several pointers to
start helping the distro, but just in case I'll insist on some ways of
starting to find your way around the basics.
There are many ways to contribute with different aspects of the project, like
writing the scripts
Please stop spreading this nonsense. I don't think it was funny to start with
but it definitely isn't when you pretend to give it any official status.
Well, there is a way - to simply wait until the release date. Here is a
countdown clock
https://trisquel.info/en/forum/trisquel-8-release-countdown-clock
But first of all you must transit the word Flidas instead of Belenos in the
sources list, in rolling Parabola this isnt a need to do this.
It would be very helpful if there was a list somewhere of which scripts have
been verified, so we can avoid duplicating work. Then, once a helper script
has been verified, whoever did it can add it to the list.
That way, we would also be able to see more easily how much there is left to
Try running the package helper scripts according to the instructions. Some
scripts will succeed, while others will fail with an error or produce a
package which fails to build.
Hi kpengboy, how do we know which package helpers need to be updated? Try
installing Flidas and see which packages don't work?
Thanks for your interest! Another major thing that needs to be done before a
mature release of Trisquel 8 can happen is to update all the [package
helpers](https://devel.trisquel.info/trisquel/package-helpers) for flidas.
The package helpers are scripts we use to edit packages in order to
Follow the "Edit" button :)
Does anyone know how up to date this wiki is?
Well, you can do that in terminal
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Of course this way you'll see if upgrading the OS works but you won't know if
the GUI application to do so works.
Ok. Where actually is that? Is it installed by default in T7?
Yes.
You mean, updating from Trisquel 7 to Trisquel 8?
I asked Ruben what needed to be done, because I was going to try to help out.
He said the distro updater needs to be tested.
Install a new Trisquel system, start the updater, and record what it does.
Then modify the updater and start the test again.
I believe this is the page you want to visit ->
https://devel.trisquel.info/groups/trisquel
Lol :)
Seriously though, is he not reviewing/accepting patches/merge requests (or
whatever) that are being submitted? Or are there none being submitted?
Is there a way we can see how many were submitted in the past 30 days?
(I don't expect you to necessarily know the answer to all these
>but is there a comprehensive list of what needs to be done to make Trisquel
8 'complete' and ready for release?
Nope, other than 'cloning Ruben, and then cloning Ruben's Ruben and the other
one too' so they make up for 4 developers.. there's no way to make Trisquello
ready for release :'(
I'm sure this is posted somewhere, but is there a comprehensive list of what
needs to be done to make Trisquel 8 'complete' and ready for release?
I have to admit I haven't tried it yet myself, but I am planning to install
it on my desktop, as soon as I can find some time.
You can help with the documentation (translations included) too. You can talk
about triskinello to your friends (just don't stress them too much), you can
say GAHNUUU is not Linus, in fact Linus is a little bit ugly, much more a
penguin rather than a gnu, which is sexy, gnus are sexy,
You could download Trisquel 8 alpha and help test it,

I've been using it as my main OS for about a week and it's pretty great so
far. I had a little trouble installing it
