Re: [Trisquel-users] Friday meeting

Thanks. I advocate Evolution anyway, although I'd prefer it be named "Overview" to better suggest that it's an Outlook clone. Are there any freedom issues with Evolution?

Re: [Trisquel-users] Friday meeting

That is good news considering how long ago icedove has been behind the times... 38.8 is extremely old.

Ah okay, I am not experienced though with gimp or anything alternate *cough micro* cough* crap* cough* paint *cough Sarcasm seemed warranted... :)

Actually icedove is actually pending the MR approval :) https://devel.trisquel.info/trisquel/package-helpers/merge_requests/196

Re: [Trisquel-users] Friday meeting

"What I don't get is why programs, especially apps such as Icedove, that are already known to be libre aren't automatically updated in the Trisquel repositories. Why isn't that a "push" process?" There is no Icedove package in Ubuntu to take and automatically update. Take a look:

Re: [Trisquel-users] Friday meeting

"Also though, the updates are much more infrequent, especially icedove. which last I checked is still at 38.8 on trisquel 7." This is what I don't get. I get that processing Ubuntu to flush out unfree software is labor intensive. I get that the transition from GNOME Fallback to MATE is

>But how did you add the shotgun to it? No, but that's also very easy to do. GIMP is 100% libre and 190% fun. Tinker and profit.

But how did you add the shotgun to it? That was my major point... ;)

Re: [Trisquel-users] Friday meeting

Heh, don't sweat it, I may have came across as, arrogant. ;/ ps, why the stallman with a shotgun picture? xD How did you make such an avatar anyways...

Re: [Trisquel-users] Friday meeting

just to say the -1 comes not from me. In fact I will give you a +1 right away in order to balance it out.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Friday meeting

heh, sorry I wasn't trying to sound condescending. You already know why, ;) hint* sys* *hint tem* *hint D* hint* Also though, the updates are much more infrequent, especially icedove. which last I checked is still at 38.8 on trisquel 7. And yes, this post was irrelevant. sorry about that.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Friday meeting

If you are willing to spend time with testing the USB bug, you can maybe contact quidam by IRC. If I remember right, yesterday he was looking for people with that problem to provide him with more feedback. El 31 de marzo de 2018 3:33:39 CEST, Mason Hock escribió: Thanks

Re: [Trisquel-users] Friday meeting

It is good that is he close to releasing trisquel 8. I most likely will still not be using it as my main os. But I am glad you guys will soon have trisquel 8 as I am sure it will help software freedom advance. Trisquel 8 has some things I may not like, but meh... But for the free software

Re: [Trisquel-users] Friday meeting

Thanks for the exciting news! Will any more testing ISOs be uploaded leading up to the release? I've run into the USB boot/install issue with every ISO starting with the one from 12/23. I'll be happy to keep testing new ISOs and reporting if anything changes. signature.asc Description: PGP

Re: [Trisquel-users] Friday meeting

Great, thanks a lot!

Re: [Trisquel-users] Friday meeting

quidam dropped the idea of releasing Trisquel 8 during LibrePlanet's hackathon session because of being tired (14 hour day) and concerns over making mistakes due to that. The only blocking bug that affects the release, that quidam knows of, is the reported issues booting from USB. He has a
