| brolin_empey | As already discussed, Windows 8.1 and earlier use a stable release model but Windows 10 uses a semi-rolling release model. | 06:31 |

| sleepingkirby | Hey guys, wondering if someone can help me out. One of my nokia n900's died so I moved to a backup. Had upgrade the firmware on the backup nokia n900. But I can't seem to install aptitude (no package) nor man. Am I missing something? | 11:37 |
| KotCzarny | you shouldnt use aptitude/apt-get directly | 11:37 |
| sleepingkirby | huh, is there a command line version of the application manager I can use? Sometimes it's just faster to use the command line. | 11:38 |
| KotCzarny | and i think man is also not available due to space reasons | 11:38 |
| KotCzarny | well, you can use apt-get | 11:39 |
| KotCzarny | if you know what you are doing | 11:39 |
| sleepingkirby | I know man did exist at one point. | 11:39 |
| sleepingkirby | and while apt-get is good, you can't search packages with it. | 11:40 |
| KotCzarny | maybe you were using easydebian? | 11:40 |
| KotCzarny | you can use apt-cache search | 11:40 |
| KotCzarny | for searching | 11:40 |
| sleepingkirby | ahh, right >.< forgot. thank you. | 11:40 |
| sicelo | for man, install `man-db-n900/man-db-pages` | 11:40 |
| sleepingkirby | sicelo: which repo is that in? | 11:41 |
| sicelo | standard repo | 11:42 |
| sleepingkirby | http://repository.maemo.org/extras/pool/fremantle/free/m/ doesn't say it's there. | 11:42 |
| sleepingkirby | ahh, devtolls | 11:43 |
| sleepingkirby | *devtools | 11:43 |
| * sleepingkirby also double checks to see if he installed easydebian way back and forgot about it. | 11:44 | |
| sleepingkirby | definitely didn't do easy debian... | 11:50 |
| sleepingkirby | ahh, it was man-db and enhanced busy box. Thank you much guys ^^/ | 11:51 |
| sleepingkirby | wanted to say thank you once again. All the packages that I thought were missing were in extras-devel >.< | 12:18 |
| sicelo | yw | 13:01 |
| sixwheeledbeast | ~speedyham | 13:43 |
| infobot | from memory, speedyham is 30 times faster than HAM https://github.com/community-ssu/hildon-application-manager, now included in ~CSSU replacing the original Hildon application Manager there | 13:43 |
| sixwheeledbeast | ~ham | 13:43 |
| infobot | methinks ham is Hildon Application Manager. Slow as molasses. Anticipate you got time for a beer or two until it finishes whatever it does, or see ~speedyham | 13:43 |
| sixwheeledbeast | 30 times is about right to. | 13:56 |

| brolin_empey | I decided to try to answer my own question I had asked this channel a while ago, which was if the Linux kernel is still developed for the m68k architecture. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux-supported_computer_architectures#Releases , which I just edited but not about m68k, implies that the answer is yes but http://www.linux-m68k.org/ is a literal cobWeb site: apparently the home page was last modified almost ***two decades ago***. So, if Linux | 22:36 |
| brolin_empey | for m68k development or even only maintenance is still active then this Web site very badly needs to be updated because Linux for m68k appears to be dead judging by this Web site. | 22:36 |
| brolin_empey | Or my question may have been if the mainline Linux kernel still supports the m68k architecture? Yes, this question is a metaquestion. | 22:41 |
| Maxdamantus | That linux-m68k presumably refers to a historical fork of Linux. m68k support is in mainline now. | 23:41 |
| Maxdamantus | afaict, there is still support for m68k in mainline, though I've never used it. | 23:42 |
