Added more entries to the spreadsheet. Proposal to help with the build-scripts whenever needed and I can install 0.4 therefore for first tests.

file systems?
For transitioning to hyperbsd what will be best file system to use on large external hard drives? For example, if I have a large external hard drive and want to be able to read it from hyperbsd in the future, would it be a good idea to format it as JFS system?

its alright im planing on using one hdd just for testing, i would get same results and maybe better if i go on for real just like im gonna use it for my self, install my main packages and many others and look for bugs
i also think it would be great if we started a new post just for testing and fixing pkgbuilds if we can.

im just discovered all video player on hyperbola linux repo are depended with libdbus otherwise they fail to start, makes me wonder the future for hyperbsd.

any solution for nondbus or alternative implementation for video player ?
is bsd already have its own dbus alternative implementation ?

ps: for the user who want to try hyperbsd nodbus feeling but still on hyperbola linux you can try omit all dbus depedencies by:

sudo pacman -Rscn dbus

sudo nano /etc/pacman.conf -> uncomment and add dbus to ignore package group

Hey, if you want I can share PKGBUILDs for VLC, smplayer and also gtk3 without dbus for Hyperbola 0.3. They can all be used without dbus, but especially smplayer has some trouble. Also Gimp has to be compiled again! When graphicsmagick is used there are problems with Inkscape, again another recompile for the package and application.

This shows how many dependencies towards dbus are implemented in fact, not by Hyperbola itself but generic throughout the projects.

The feeling about "no dbus" is interesting: Also possible here to recompile gtk3 first, afterwards removing dependencies and therefore dbus itself. Not forgetting to ignore the packages afterwards: dbus, libdbus, avahi, pulseaudio. Absolutely possible and working, depending on the own workflow.

Okay, will do this in another thread later on. The most "complicated" to do is gtk3 first as many others have in fact options to deactivate dbus or they do this when the pkg-definitions are not found on the system - meaning therefore the basic source-files for libdbus and dbus as reference for usage. Gimp for example is just searching towards dbus, when nothing found the configuration before compilation is ignoring it. Inkscape is doing the same for imagemagick: No libraries found? Well, imagemagick is ignored. Of course: The PKGBUILDs should also be defined NOT to include dbus. So I'll post my solution later for different applications, as always open and free for everyone to make suggestions.

Thank you for bringing up this issue and the need for tryout and building. I think that 0.4 is absolutely possible without dbus. The problems with some major applications stay: Meaning therefore you cannot install k3b or kdenlive for example. I'm searching for alternatives. Found this for k3b with xfburn, but kdenlive is much more complicated until now. But I'm sure: There will be a solution for video-editing also! The upcoming thread will therefore consists of the steps I use and just now installing another Hyperbola-system on a fresh prepared X200 this evening. So even better.

Started with the thread. Will be done step by step for all packages needed!
