libera/#devuan/ Tuesday, 2022-05-17

blizzowI'm on deadalus and noticed keepassxc is lagging behind current keepassxc. It seems the package offered in debian is a little old at 2.6.6 vs. current of 2.7.1.00:26
blizzowIt's not absurdly old but it made me wonder if devuan ever goes "in advance" of debian? Or are all packages pegged to debian versioning.00:26
gnarfacedevuan never goes in advance of debian, though forked package versioning might superficially make it look like that occasionally00:31
blizzowthanks gnarface00:45
systemdleterwp:  That --no-install-recommends was perfect, thx.  It ONLY installed just the tlp package03:21
systemdleteI am running powertop now to "calibrate" (??? against what may I ask?) the laptop to conserve power.03:21
systemdleteNormally "calibrate" means to sort of compare a working version of something against a baseline of some sort.   OK, fine.  But what, pray tell, are they calibrating against?  The doc doesn't really say.03:22
systemdleteSome heuristic I am guessing, but it would be nice if they specified what they are doing a little bit more precisely.03:23
rwpsystemdlete, Glad that helped.  Like jjakob I always have a /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00local file containing APT::Install-Recommends "0"; Aptitude::Recommends-Important "false";03:43
systemdlete"recommends" and "suggested" could easily be conflated there...  but yes it did help04:08
systemdletethey appear to be two different things.04:09
IvanSusanin[m]<rwp> "systemdlete, Glad that helped..." <- Thanks for the tip!21:10
rwpIvanSusanin[m], Remember the rules.  See one.  Do one.  Teach one! :-)21:55
rwpsystemdlete is not in the channel but I would respond that Suggests are not installed by default.  So they do not need to be disabled.21:58
rwpBut they will be displayed by apt-get when installing as a suggestion for the user to hint that they *might* want them.21:58
rwpAlong with hinting Recommends too when that is disabled.21:58
rwpThose hints are very useful.  Because the installing admin user can choose to install them or not as they desire.21:58
