Guest73Where do i go to report a bug?02:32
Guest73not very obvious from website (at least I could not find)02:32
adhocGuest73: explain it here,02:32
adhocfolks can then direct you to the right place02:32
Guest73in https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/package-query.html?c=package&q=autorandr=1.11-1 the file /lib/udev/rules.d/40-monitor-hotplug.rules has systemd specific BS which makes it not work as expected02:33
Guest73i will email package maintainer too02:34
Guest73nvm (just noticed the maintainer is from debian)02:34
adhocGuest73: yes, this is often a thing02:35
brocashelmthere's also a package called reportbug which you can use to send that information to the devs02:35
adhocGuest73: while I am sure there are folks who may have more for you directly02:36
Guest73maybe we should put a shim for systemctl to just execute whatever is the exec line of the systemd file. This would solve this problem and maybe more?02:36
adhocI would suggest posting to the DNG mail list; https://www.devuan.org/os/community02:36
Guest73not a mailing list dude02:37
adhocwell, if you want dev folk to take a look and put it in a work queue ...02:37
Guest73Would be more than happy to file a bug on a common platform (don't wanna sign up for things) and also wouldn't mind providing a patch. Otherwise, don't know what else to do02:38
adhocthere is a forum there too.02:38
Guest73Ok well guess I did as much as I could without signing up for things. Later02:39
brocashelmthis chat is logged, so devs will be able to look into such issues when they're not idle02:40
brocashelm...oh, he left already02:41
adhocah good02:42
gnarfacebugs.devuan.org is still a thing though, right?02:50
gnarfaceprobably would have been a good idea to direct them there02:51
rrqyes02:51
adhocgnarface: now I know for next time =)02:55
adhocthanks02:55
adhocgnarface: perhaps the issue is, that was not obvious for the casual bug report on the main web site ?02:56
adhocah, found it on the Install page under; Useful links02:59
adhocperhaps that could be more promonent, also on the community page.03:00
rrqpkginfo has it linked in the header line under the "BTS" menmonic03:03
rrqshould probably replace "TS" with "ugs" though03:05
rrqlinked more prominently on the www pages would probably be good too03:16
adhocrrq: i walked through al the pages, and the only page that had "bug" on it was install03:29
adhocrrq: abbreviations are always an problem for folks that don't expect "that" abbreviation03:29
qwestionis snapper timeshift btrfs on roadmap?03:32
adhocqwestion: is it in debian ?04:03
qwestionadhoc: btrfs in deb wiki04:04
adhochas been a long time since i've used btrfs04:05
adhoclost a lot of file systems back then =(04:05
adhochope it has improved =)04:05
adhocthat reminds me, wonder where zfs is on linux these days ... ?04:07
qwestioni know someone who uses zfs, but ive not seen it as an installer option despite searching  distrowatch04:13
qwestionadhoc:04:13
rwpadhoc, I have a friend who runs zfs on Debian and said up through Jessie it was a rough road but that from Stretch forward it has been solid.04:15
adhocqwestion: from the base installer media... good point04:16
adhocrwp: has been out there for a long time now.04:16
rwpThe license prevents distros from shipping zfs together with the OS.  But the license allows the user to combine them with no legal issues at all.04:16
adhoci suppose the way is to go play with =)04:16
adhocrwp: ah, vague memories do point to license issues.04:17
adhocI suppoe the other options are XFS and JFS ?04:17
* adhoc has been running ext4 on systems since ... er ... when ever that hit debian04:18
