Porteus

Hello,

I like to use Porteus as my enviroment to develop in ruby and rails.
Does Porteus have ruby in one of the modules ?

Roelof

Could be.

The upstream url is : http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/

Roelof

Hello,

I like to learn clojure with these tools.
Are they avaible on Porteus or can they be made avaible ?

Roelof

I agree.

I played a little bit with docker and I think this could be a better way to handle the modules.
Every module can be a sort of layer which can be more easily be updated then the current way as far as I can see.

If someone wants to help me , maybe we can try if this can work.

Roelof

I want it to test if I could make a systemd enabled system.
I use the AUR scripts which are mentioned in the development section.

The problem Im now facing is that I could not make a systemd enabled initrd.

Maybe a arch based Porteus cannot be made at this moment by 1 man.

Roelof

Hello,

Has someone have success in making a Arch kernel work in Porteus.

Roelof

Thanks,

I will try that.
The python error can be ignored because it python3 and I need python2.

Roelof

Python fails with this message : [371/371/2] test_zlib 340 tests OK. 2 tests failed: test_strptime test_time 2 tests altered the execution environment: test_site test_urllib2_localnet 27 tests skipped: test_codecmaps_cn test_codecmaps_hk test_codecmaps_jp test_codecmaps_kr test_codecmaps_tw test_cur...

I tried to build systemd as a try as a normal user. It worked very well but at the end I see this output: Making install in docs/libudev make[3]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'. /usr/bin/ginstall -c -m 644 ./html/api-index-full.html /usr/bin/ginstall -c -m 644 ./html/ch01.html /usr/bin/gin...

oke,

No problem.
Do I get a message when something is missing then ?

Roelof

Now im confused. First you said it does have dependency tracking if I do not use the d switch. Now you saying it does not have. On Cinnamon systemd is enabled by configure parameters. I can change them so disable but that means I have to use consolekit and friends to make it work. So I have to rewri...

Thanks.

The only thing that I wonder is how the tool deals with systemd.

If I try to port Cinnamon this way Im sure systemd is pulled in.
And I do not know if systemd and sysVinit that Porteus is using now can work both on a system.

Maybe I can try it out ?


Roelof

If I understand it well this tool does not have dependency tracking ?

Still I think it can be a good tool to port my favourite DE (Cinnamon) to Porteus.
How does this tool deal with the fact that Arch uses Systemd and Porteus does not ?

Roelof

I choose then Debian.

If we also succeed in porting systemd then it would be much easier for porting modern DE like Gnome 3.10 or Cinnamon in.



Roelof

hello,

Suppose I want the messagebus started on startup.

What is the right way to do this ?
