As far as I know: 3, 4, and 5 are made through the scripts at the
package-helpers repository.
Also, decisions on 4 are based on:
- Which package needs to be rebranded?
- Which has a bug filled for which only Trisquel project can solve? I
said "only" because sometimes upstream (Ubuntu) has it
What is the workflow strategy currently being used in order to contribute
Trisquel? For example, is it...
1) Canonical releases LTS version of Ubuntu
2) Trisquels founder gets the release (how?)
3) Trisquel developers remove non-free software (how?)
4) Trisquel founder decides on what software
I still have many fundamental questions that are not addressed after having a
look at the Trisquel Cookbook. Lots of "why questions" like, why is
contributing to Trisquel done through a package-helper? How does teh
submission process work, etc. I hope to address this with my tutorial.

Hey all,
I was wondering where I could pick up the kernel headers for the newest
iterations of the linux-libre kernel. I used to be able to get it by using
this command: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` but it says
they are nowhere to be found. The reason for doing
Hi.
I would like to add webservice at tasksel to Trisquel 8, but I don't know
how. I read about in Trisquel's wiki without success. How can I help with it?
Thanks!

I have never tried Mendelay, but in every comparison of Mendeley and Zotero
that I have seen they compete well. Perhaps it's a matter of getting used to
it? Like I said, I can't compare myself, but I am very happy with Zotero.
What can Mendeley do, that Zotero can't?
Third attempt: No GUI.
Something went wrong?
I have now read the wiki and the links to the laws in my country. I say you
are wrong.
You have to differentiate between, you make modifications and make them
public. This is illegal.
You make modifications for testing. That is legal if the software still
performs the same task on the
If you wanna contribute code you need to know 0.bash 1.sed 2.git that is all
you need to know. and this is the workflow.
0. cloning the source code of packages from ubuntu servers on Trisquel
servers (only main and universe components):

Great ! Thank you Salman ;-)
Among links that have been previously mentioned on other threads, we often
forget this other detailed explaination in the package helpers readme

Another query, my Flidas was installed close to the date of the original
announcement in January. After running apt-get update and apt-get upgrade,
can I assume I have equal to what I would get if I reinstalled using newer
ISOs? It seemed I had read I could expect to ride this install right
Did it three years ago. Quoting from memory, I would say:
First, you connect the device to a computer with a flash write utility
(odin, heimdall...) and you reflash the device BIOS with ClockWorkMod.
Second, you boot the device pressing a combination of on/volume keys
to enter

So your example is flawed, since Windows is rotten from the inside already.
JS in youtube-dl is used to get the video's ID.
How? We don't know exactly yet.
JS is problematic because:
- it gathers my data
- it can be executed on my PC, most likely to gather data anyway (regarding
youtube)

Are package helpers just shell commands? What are package helpers written in?
What is the strategy for using package helpers aside from other methods?
I imagine most of the users here do not devote their lives to the writing of
scientific papers. Mendeley is a reference manager, really handy when it
comes to the organization and automation of citations during writing.
Although it is a proprietary software. Is there a good alternative? I
I tener use them more than out of curiosity. I liked Kbibitex.
Not sure if it is what you want.

I want to try to package the open-ath9k-htc-firmware package from Debian for
Trisquel 8, but I can't get pbuilder to create a flidas-based build
environment because openjdk-7-jre is missing from the apt repos. Is there a
way around this requirement, or should I use a belenos-based build

Add 'apt-get autoremove'. If packages were removed from the default system,
that command will remove them.

"why is contributing to Trisquel done through a package-helper?"
Because automation is good. Packages from Ubuntu need modifying. Would you
rather keep making those changes to that same package over and over (i.e.,
every time it gets updated in Ubuntu due to, say, security fixes or whatever)
Much less exotic than Kanji characters -- something as mundane as umlauts can
ruin your day if your tools are not up to the job.
>It appears YouTube videos require running JavaScript.
Possibly, but that hasn't been established here. It's clear that using the
YouTube interface provided by Google requires JS, and that youtube-dl uses
it, but I'm not sure if that extends to all other video download/viewing
tools.
I just enable JS when there's no other way, then turn it off when I'm done.
I've argued before that it could be nice to add a button to do this
automatically (just run JavaScript on the current page once, but otherwise
keep JavaScript off), so that this is easier to do. That would make it
Yeah. I have a common username too, but I use it with the understanding that
I am not anonymous when I use it. If I really want to be anonymous (and I

To clarify, the only browser I have seen user scripts working on without
JavaScript enabled overall is Firefox (and its derivatives, e.g. Abrowser)
with Greasemonkey. All other browsers I have tried refuse to run user scripts
while regular JavaScript is disabled.
Yeah, that's what I used for the Hexoshi campaign, but that's for one-time
funding, not recurring donations. I will continue to use it for large
projects (e.g. Milestone 2 of Hexoshi).
Indeed, so far we have two options, but, at least for (a) and (b), these
*must be* evaluated:
a. GNU LibreJS + GreaseMonkey + ViewTube.
- Or: NoScript + GreaseMonkey + ViewTube (as long as you can make
NoScript not block the others).
b. GNU LibreJS + HTML5 Video Everywhere.

Okay, what about the galaxy note 2 n7100?
It seems sturdy and stable from what I have heard, and I am curious how much
battery life would be increased under replicant? any thoughts of this?
Anyone? just curious. ;)
Forget about the "two options" part, it was part of my reply before I
got the extensive list of options down there. :)
and here's the source code: https://framagit.org/salman/trisqueldev feel free
to fork it.
If you wanna start contributing code to Trisquel project, you can ask your
question here. I will try to regularly check this thread to answer your
questions about Package Helpers, git, or anything related.
Thank you Salman ;-)
Your Trisquel developper Cookbook is very usefull and insightfull for those
wishing to understand better on how all the process works
I have just taken a look at the ViewTube script: it only seems to extract the
relevant strings in the HTML source of the page (with the getMyContent
function), no JavaScript is interpreted.
Personally, I don't think intellectual property or software patents deserve
ANY RESPECT WHATSOEVER!
seriously... that's what allows people to abuse copyright for 70+ years and
that's after the original creator is dead.
bs... the author doesn't care only the company does...

Now I notice your argument changes slightly to be about interoperability,
which is the first time you've raised that particular point and is different
from modifications in general. I imagine it's because of what you've been
reading. And yes, some places of the world have rules regarding
