How about compiling the sources? I've read the instructions in the readme
file - pretty straightforward.
My theory is that all of this dissent is due to one thing and one thing only:

Enigmail uses the gpg2 binary now instead of original gpg because gpg2 solves
many problems with the implementation of gpg. If you change a key in gpg,
gpg2 doesn't always update the key. I changed my gpg key password using "gpg
--edit-key" but since Enigmail uses gpg2 it would only accept
Following on, what I did was export my private key from my gpg keyring,
delete my private key from my gpg2 keyring, then re-import it. Enigmail
worked great after that.
what bureaucracy? There is only one or two people!
They don't owe us anything at all. We owe them for the thousands of unpaid
hours they devoted to this project
I agree that more communication would be nice. I'm sure they feel that way
too. So the lack of communication is despite

What is wrong with Trisquel 7?
What sacrifices are you making by using Trisquel 7 that you won't have to
make once Trisquel 8 comes out?
Do you have any intermediate step--like upgrading individual programs you
need upgraded?
By the way, I heard a rumour that the latest Ubuntu release is having some
serious problems. Apparently they released too soon and now they have a lot
of back peddling to do. It is a little embarrassing actually. I''m so glad
we didn't just dive in after them. Let's let them work it out
Reminds me of how MediaTek complained about people reverse-engineering their
kernels...
the problem with chromebooks though is until they have a decent amount of
memory, (128 gigabytes or more)
they will not have much use even if you put libreboot on it and remove all
blobs by some miracle...
Well, they could give us more than one single blog post. It is their
responsibility to keep interest in their project as its developers. Status
updates do not mean daily. They do not even mean monthly, just a small idea
of how things are going. Maybe it would encourage people to help,
That is an excellent point! In fact, it is the best point.
Even in this case, however, there is often work that can be done to try and
solve the problem before the new release. In fact, this is one way we can
help the development of Trisquel 8. It may be the only way to solve the

No, systemd is very good at the job it does. There are legitimate qualms with
its design but systemd has nothing to do with the brokenness of Ubuntu 16.04.

thanks.
Part of the issue is that there are some packages that cannot be updated
separately, because they lack the proper dependencies. Also, I don't know
about anyone else, but I have a problem where I cannot fill out PDF files in
Trisquel; perhaps it's just because I'm using Libreboot, but the
I'm using Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 lately, and I have less problems with it than I
had with either Trisquel 7 or Debian 8. The only problems I've experienced
are that the graphical key management program and Enigmail don't seem to be
storing the same keys as the command-line GnuPG (no idea why;
If you have been reading my posts you would guess correctly that this
'rumour' is not real. The idea was to illustrate how misguided it is to focus
on Ubuntu when talking about the Trisquel development cycle.

The GNU GPL doesn't place requirements on how much money you can make selling

The low-end Chromebooks are just cheapo laptops. I'm thinking more of the
high-end ones. Some have 4GB or more memory. I've even seen a 15-inch
Chromebook with 8G of RAM (I think it was an HP one?). The Google Pixel was
pretty good apparently.
So they're basically generic laptops with

As an extra note: if you go to the Linux kernel project's official
website and click on the big button to download the source, you'll get
a .tar.gz with various directories, one of which is "firmware", and this
one has the blobs.
So, they still distribute the non-free parts.

I know they don't owe us anything.
If they wanted to make their lives easier they could always, you know, ask
for help. And they need more people because development seems to be at a
snail's speed. What I'm saying is they don't seem to be very inclusive, small
things like giving periodic
Obviously they are aware that they want feedback otherwise they wouldn't have
produced that blog post when people demanded news.
They perhaps think that people will say "why don't you wait, do you really
need newer software" to anyone who asks for news and are content in staying

"We need more direct participation in Trisquel's development."
I think this is a valid point. But it is a right idea at the wrong time.
Creating an effective team of skilled developers takes time. We are close
enough to Trisquel 8, that it could take more time to build a working team
than
